Cowboys cut Pacman Jones today. Supposedly new info has come to light about his involvement in ANOTHER shooting back in the summer of 2007. Apparently the league didn't have the information, nor did the Cowboys when they signed him earlier this year, so I don't think they'll be penalized. Jones may end up out of the league permanently, depending on how this evolves. Either way, he didn't contribute very much to the Cowboys overall on defense or special teams - certainly not like his on-field reputation suggested coming in.

Thanks, I have the original CD issue. I also have all of the Rhino's, though I may eventually replace them with the box. I think it's unusual that it wasn't included in the Rhino series, if for completeness if nothing else - though I realize it's a co-leader date, not a Coltrane album.

Happy Birthday!

I think I've asked this before, but don't remember a definitive answer. Is the mastering on the Heavyweight Champion box the same as the Rhino Deluxe editions that followed? I'm curious because the box includes the "Bags & Trane" album, whereas the Rhino deluxe series doesn't. Has "Bags & Trane" ever been reissued separately in remastered form?

R.I.P. Freddie, and thanks for the music that you've shared with us.

I'll play in the playoff pool if it gets set up. This was fun, thanks for having me! Even though I either went too conservative or too wild, and never got into a rhythm, it was still a good time!

As Big Al's alluded to, some of us are Cowboy fans in spite of the owner. Probably most that fall in this category have been fans since long before Jerry Jones rode into town on his wildcat. I actually thought they'd lose too, but I thought they'd at least show up and make a respectable showing, since there actually was something still on the line. My guess would have been a 24-17 score or something like that, with a typical Romo interception that sealed their fate. Not like the steaming pile of manure that showed up in Cowboys uniforms.

Happy Birthday!

Same condition as what? Do you have a jazz cd in the player? Don't forget to take it out, unless you want to Pay It Forward.

Happy Late one!

I didn't get my kids until 8:30 pm today, so they unwrapped their gifts late. Going to visit family tomorrow. Just being around my kids is my swag.

!dias eh tahW

The Tower in Austin had a whole ROOM devoted to jazz (& classical I believe, my memory is getting rusty). Those were the golden days, and we didn't even know it.

You're welcome! More than just the code may be expiring before long though. Somebody on the SH Forum just commented that BMG is no longer accepting new members as of today. Their website is suggesting that people go check out Yourmusic instead. I wonder how much longer BMG/Yourmusic has.

That's it, let's call it all off and start over. Or rather, maybe we should think about calling it off and starting over, if anyone wishes to discuss that.

That's it, let's call it all off and start over.

You mean Rivers, not Brees I think. And yes, I think they're playing well finally. If they get in, they'll be a force to be reckoned with. I hope LT still has something left in the tank though.

Amazingly, the Cowboys control their destiny. If they beat the Eagles, they're in the playoffs. If not, they're done. So effectively the Eagles game is a playoff game for them. And I'm not so sure they beat the Cardinals head to head. The Cards beeat the Cowboys earlier this season already, 30-24, though it was an OT game. As far as their talent, I am not so sure Romo's already topped out. This may be the best he ever gets. His decision making is questionable at times, and I don't see that they've worked with him at all on that since Parcells left. T.O. is on the downward side of his career, so it would make sense to trade him if you could get anything in return. They've committed to Roy Williams, so they need to work him into the offense, I think at Owens' expense. Their offensive line needs improvement, and the defensive secondary - mainly the safetys - needs work too. The underachieving is a reflection on the coaching. I don't think there's a coach on the team that is a long term answer either. Better to overhaul the staff with a Cowher or Holmgren at the top, and - here's the key - let them hire their own staff and let them be in charge, unlike now.
