I hope Conn doesn't see this, or he'll really get a big head.

Games are starting this weekend!! Rhett Bomar signed with Sam Houston State University, but may not be eligible to play until halfway through the season, I believe. Be interesting to see if he's any good with the lesser talent that will surround him at SHSU. Is Ohio State the best team in the nation this year? Can Texas do well without Vince Young? Will my Aggie defense repeat as about the worst in the NCAA?

What's frustrating is for those of us who are longtime Cowboys fans who don't like T.O. I am still a Boys fan, but hate what he's doing here. It was a huge mistake IMO for Jones to bring him in. The guy has no contrition, and not a sincere, team-first bone in his body.

Raiders sign Jeff George! ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders signed Jeff George to a contract Monday, bringing back a player who hasn't thrown an NFL pass in five seasons. George, the No. 1 overall pick by Indianapolis in 1990, joined the team in time for Monday's afternoon practice. He previously played for the Raiders in 1997-98, starting 23 games and throwing 33 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. It is not immediately clear what his role will be on the Raiders, who already have Aaron Brooks, Andrew Walter and Marques Tuiasosopo on the roster. George played with the Colts from 1990-93. He was in Atlanta from 1994-96, then spent two seasons with Oakland and one with Minnesota before joining the Redskins in 2000, first as a backup. He was signed by Seattle as insurance midway through the 2002 season, but didn't play. Chicago signed him late in the 2004 season, but he never played for the Bears either. George, known for his strong arm and clashes with coaches, has a 46-78 career record as a starter and has never lasted longer than four years with any one team. George hasn't played since 2001, when he was cut after two games with the Redskins. In his last two games with Washington, George had a quarterback rating of 34.6, completing 23 of 42 passes with three interceptions. In his next-to-last game with Washington, he and coach Marty Schottenheimer had an animated sideline discussion after George committed four turnovers and was removed from the game. George also had a sideline argument with coach June Jones when he was with the Atlanta Falcons in 1996, and the team suspended him and then cut him. George played well his first season in Oakland, throwing for 3,917 yards and 29 touchdowns in 1997. He struggled with injuries the following season, starting only seven games, and was replaced the following season by Rich Gannon, who was a better fit in coach Jon Gruden's West Coast offense.

Can someone tell me when this guy was "fun", as JSngry called it? Insulting someone for stating a valid opinion on something is tasteless.

now drinking flavored sparkling water (i.e. soda without as much guilt).

Hi Brett - I'm interested in purchasing Sonny's cd, not the MP3 files. Can you do some evaluation on your pricing and see if it can be brought down to "normal" prices? $25 shipped is a bit steep. $15 shipped or less seems to be the going rate for online purchases of this nature (see Dave Douglas' website, for an example of what you are competing with, pricewise). Thanks!

plus - Dave Douglas - Keystone (CD/DVD pack) Eldar Djangirov - Daily Living/Live at the Blue Note Diana Krall - Christmas Songs Massive Attack - Collected Lou Rawls - Black and Blue/Tobacco Road ....the Douglas is excellent (IMO) and well worth $5.99!!!

I like the whole thing, and since it's on CD I don't really think of it in halves. I also like alot of Kid A & Amnesiac. I think if you took the best bits from those two, you could make one helluva great album.

Yeah - that Ro-beer guy, I dunno about him, he's trouble.

"You talkin' to me? YOU TALKIN' TO ME??"

The cover's upside down.

Dog medallions, anyone?

That's been my guess - that their database simply doesn't update itself quickly enough to reflect the current "low" price, after someone else has purchased the $3.30 disc. I agree it's frustrating!

I strongly recommend "For Django" a quartet date with second guitar, bass/drums. The live date "Joy Spring" also from 1964, is quite good too.

As much as I think it's a joke, I'd be more worried about Aric's Bird Flu.

I vote for "Planet X" for the name of the next planet to be elected Planet-hood. That name rocks. Hell, any name with "X" in it rocks.

As discussed in other redundant threads, there are already a number of redundant threads about this topic.

Maybe it's a fancy gold lamè pouch?

I've got a couple of other Praxis discs (Sacrifist & Zurich) with Buckethead, and dig 'em both.

I wasn't happy about the Cowboys signing TO to start with, and with all this stuff going on....hmmm. The thing that's tough for Cowboys fans (IMO) is that we're used to Jason Witten breaking his jaw, getting it wired up, and playing (not to mention practicing) that way. We're used to Keith Davis practicing and playing with a bullet in his leg currently. Marcus Spears just recently had surgery, and is already at 90%, and eager to get on the field. Should be a starter by the time the regular season rolls around. T.O. suddenly discovered this "injury" during training camp, that apparently happened without him informing anyone after the play. He just stopped practicing. MRI's came back negative, and he's the only one that says he's hurt. Personally, I think he's not really hurt, he just hasn't played football in so long, his body hadn't gotten used to it. And instead of working through it, he's chosen to claim an injury that's really not an injury. Problem is, he's hurting the Cowboys by not getting reps, not getting synergy with Bledsoe. A result of that may be that he doesn't perform as well as he has in the past, ever. Another Cowboys note - Parcells said Drew Henson is no longer "with" the team. So another former baseball player/QB (like Quincy Carter & Chad Hutchinson) experiment has apparently come and gone. I don't think the guy got a fair shake with the Cowboys, but hopefully he'll do better wherever he ends up.

New YLT album due out on 12 September, titled "I am not afraid of you and I will beat your ass" Appear to be soundclips on their website, matador records, and YLT's myspace page... BF - That last one is a fun listen, but it's really off the cuff type stuff, so probably won't get that many spins, but it is still enjoyable.

Does that mean 9 for the price of 4?

Problem is, once they're drunk, they get really cocky, thinking they're bulletproof and can kick anyone's butt...
