    IMHO, Derek Anderson should not be benched by Romeo. Then again, my job is not on the line.

  2. SxCx   17 years ago

    Man, why can't you guys be on television? I fucking hate having to sit through breathless melodrama just to get the numbers.

  3. J sub D   17 years ago

    Denver Nuggets and Antonio McDyess are about the Pistons getting Alan Iverson in a trade with the Nuggets. They sent MyDyess, Billips and a nobody over for AI. The NBA East just got a lot more interesting.

  4. Pro Libertate   17 years ago

    Maybe there's hope for us yet. It's our indifference that makes us strong.

  5. Warty   17 years ago

    Motherfuck fucking Derek fucking Anderson. I've seen enough of that braindead giraffe-looking shitass for the rest of my life. DURRRRR GAME ON THE LINE DURRRR I'LL THROW IT TO TERRELL SUGGS DURRRRR

    Bring on the sexy golden boy! 11-5 WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!1!1!1!!

    God, I hate my team.

  6. Bingo   17 years ago

    For what its worth, Guitar Hero probably has a bigger and longer-lasting cultural influence than McCain.

  7. John C Jackson   17 years ago

    Brady Quinn is not on the list. Brad Quinn endorsed McCain.

    Conspiracy?

  8. J sub D   17 years ago

    And the Lions are the only winless team in the NFL. Halfway to infamy.

  9. Warty   17 years ago

    When I checked Google news, Brady Quinn was, in fact, on the list. Google is using its confusion-rays on us.

    For what it's worth, Joe Thomas's endorsement of McCain counts for much more, as far as I'm concerned.

  10. libertymike   17 years ago

    Warty-

    Given what he did over an entire season a year ago, I just woudln't give up on him, just yet. I have to admit that he was terrible on Sunday.

  11. libertymike   17 years ago

    Warty-

    Brian Sipe is not walking through the locker room doors.

  12. Andy   17 years ago

    Keanu Reeves? Does he even have a movie coming out? These lists are always so weird, I get the Nuggets stuff (although you'd think Pistons and AI would show up) but wtf.

    Haha, I just watched Brit Hume tell Rove that Obama won Ohio. I can't tell if Hume is disappointed or if he's just that unenergetic all the time.

  13. John C Jackson   17 years ago

    Keanu was just sued by a pap and won.

    Brit Hume is always somber.

  14. John C Jackson   17 years ago

    Well, I think Quinn's endorsement was more important as it probably lost McCain some of the anti-gay vote.

  15. Warty   17 years ago

    libertymike-

    I wasn't too impressed with him last year, either. As soon as defenses learned to defend the throw-it-really-high-and-let-Braylon-Edwards-make-a-spectacular-catch pass, it was all downhill. It doesn't help that Edwards forgot how to catch and Kellen Swollenballs decided he wants out of town, either, but DA has had more than enough time to show that he can win.

    Funny that you bring up Brian Sipe, a small, mobile, weak-armed, smart quarterback who played above his physical abilities. The exact opposite of DA.

    Brady Quinn may suck donkey balls, but it's best to find out now. Besides, it's about time that he ruined all the panties in NE Ohio with his chiseled jaw and rugged good looks.
