I know we already have a "2009 NFL season" thread, but I think the draft is a big enough deal that we can have a separate thread on it, without the draft stuff getting lost at the end of the other thread. (If not, I'm sure someone will deal with it accordingly :) ). Here's my 2009 NFL mock...

Actually the Cowboys started off like gangbusters against the Bungles, then had to rally at the end for a 31-22 win. Watching it on NFL Replay today reminds me of how great Felix Jones was and how unfortunate it was that he got hurt last year.

The Cowboys' new stadium will have the world's largest scoreboard/video screen:

The do not call list is for those selling to us. This scam can get away with it because they are providing something to us that we already have. No, it's not something we already have, since I do not have any warranty with THEM. And asking for a supervisor can get results from companies you do busi...

Just Googled this phenomenon: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/09/expired-car-warranty-calls-have-several-states-pissed-too/ http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/scam-identity-theft-calls-to-cell-phones-tout-expiring-auto-warranty-coming-from-408-587-2116-and-623-238-6228 http://www.consumerfraudreportin...

For the last few weeks, we've been getting calls (on our home phone, my wife's cell and my cell, too) from out of state numbers (varying area codes, at least one of which was from south Florida) saying that our "warranty is about to expire". This is silly, because the only major warranty w...

I have no doubt that "Volcano" has sold at least 500,000 units.

The RIAA uses the same method they've always used to certify albums gold, platinum or diamond. It's not "strictly bought" now -- it's still album units shipped. http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinum.php?content_selector=certification "The Process The certification process begins with an...

The NFL draft is coming. What are your team's needs?

For my Cowboys I'd say WR, NT, OL (always), a young QB to groom as a backup, S and perhaps ILB.

One does not preclude the other.

I'm waiting impatiently for new episodes. "Mythbusters", "The First 48" and "Monsterquest" are my three favorite current-production shoes.

There is no such thing as an RIAA "multigold" album. An album only goes gold once, for sales of 500,000 copies. There are, however, multiplatinum albums. An album with sales of 2,000,000+ is considered double platinum, 3,000,000+ = triple platinum, etc. The diamond award is given for sales...

I look forward to this album. I like the acoustic songs JB does at the ends of his shows. "Distantly in Love" from Anguilla was great, as was his acoustic version of "Reggabilly Hill" from last year.

Personally, I'd like to see a weighted NFL draft lottery (similar to the NBA's) where all the non playoff teams have a shot at the #1 pick. The lottery show alone would draw big ratings. Interesting idea. Would you exclude all playoff teams from having those picks? Not if they had traded to acquire...

Today, he could never put out a record with a cover like this. The corporate big wigs wouldn't go along with it. An old, beat up, sunken Shrimper with Buffet sitting on the exposed bow dressed in an old, worn out T shirt, and torn up cut-offs? No, they wouldn't have any of that. http://i87.photobuc...

Molon labe, baby!

Eddie's just jealous that there are no "Moneyheads".

"EdHeads"?

Cowboys will host the Oakland Raiders on Thanksgiving 2009.

Okay, so what are some of your favorite and least favorite JB album covers? I particularly like the covers for "Barometer Soup" and "Banana Wind". The "BW" cover makes me feel like I'm on an island in the middle of a "banana wind", with the tops of the trees s...
