You go girl! Spank 'em!
Although he most likely will enjoy it. :whipit:

Glad to see you around Roger. :cool:

There is better, more serous discussions here... without the interruptions of "you owe me a chance as a trainee". :ben:

OK, roger is here. Welcome, belatedly and redundantly. Now bring up something we can argue about, or in pinch, agree about.

Um, how about ... Chargers are going to squeak out a win tomorrow? Hey, I can dream, can't I? :lol:

That's not a dream. That is a drug induced hallucination. :spin:

Heyyyy, nobody thought we would beat the Colts, either. Like I said, I can dream. :rof:

The Colts beat themselves. You'll find out the real caliber of your team tomorrow, when the Pats stomp them, and the Pack stomps the Giants.

Have to disagree with you there. Our defense beat them. We'd have never pulled it off if our defense hadn't been so awesome. And we did it in spite of some poor officiating. (Cromartie got robbed.)

Well, dammit, I was really hoping we could pull off the upset. I definitely agreed with Bill Cowher's halftime assessment that Rivers wasn't getting it done, and Voleck should have been given an opportunity. Why keep a healthy quarterback on the sidelines when the injured one can't play. It hurt the team. Grrrrr!

This is why Norv Turner is not a Superbowl caliber coach, in my opinion. By ignoring the play of his quarterback, and his injury, he hurt the team.
Brady sliced the D up with short passes to Welker and Faulk, but Rivers couldn't do the same thing. Pats are going for a perfect season, it seems.
The G men just got burned by the Packs for a touchdown. You aren't going to get into a foot race with Driver with a five yard head start and catch him.
Looks like the game may get much more interesting soon.
