Yup....4th down and less than a yard inside the 10 yard line (I believe they were on the 3 yard line). They could have kicked a field goal...which would have made the Dolphins fight to get a touchdown in that last 2 minute drive, rather than playing for the field goal.

Basically, this loss put the Dolphins back into the hunt. Patriots are 1 game ahead of the Jets and Dolphins...but Dolphins have the tie breaker against the Jets, as the Dolphins have beat the Jets twice this season. If the Patriots and Dolphins end up tied at the end of the season, they will not have an easy tie breaker, as they split the season head to head series 1 win and 1 loss each.

At this point in the season, I've given up on Pittsburgh and will probably just hope that the Colts or some other team with some integrity makes it to the SB...

How the heck the Steelers lost to those god awful loser suckass Raiders, I have no freaking idea. Sigh. Arizona's win over Minnesota was a bit of a surprise yesterday too. But, it'll keep the map interesting I guess...

The silver lining this weekend? USC losing to Arizona and getting demoted to appear in some stupid mineral bowl. Hahahahaha XP And, Dallas losing to NY yet again! LOL XP... Texas making it to the Rose bowl ain't too shabby either- considering they beat USC ago for the BCS title a few years back. XP...

The car is fixed. And for the record, I paid a lot of money to have a rotary expert mechanic do the work for me. I would never tackle a job this big on a car that still has an engine warranty.

The other option is to make sure your password it very secure. Too many people have simple passwords.
For example;
Instead of using "carfan76", add some capital letters and mix the #'s in between like "Car76Fan", or use txtspk like "C4r76F4n."

Good passwords are your best protection. Knowing is have the battle. Always look both ways before you cross the street. Do not overload electrical circuits. Be careful with ladders. Only you can prevent forest fires. Give a Hoot, don't Pollute.

thanks for all those words of wisdom ... and I do give a hoot.

@ Gerry, it definately has been an interesting season in the football world...all the things that we have come to expect are not so this year. Steelers, USC are great examples of surprises....Favre retiring and then coming back again...well, maybe this is something we should start to expect

@ Jonathan....I will be avalaible Sat morning or anytime Sunday.

@ xbox peeps. My profile was hacked and now is currently suspended pending a fraud investigation. My friends list got wiped, as well as any saved messages or sent messages from you guys. So, feel free to send me a new friend request and when my gamerprofile is returned to me, I'll accept it.

Of the three games I am playing right now, 2 of them require me to have an active online profile....so I can't play them even offline

This is the reason I wasn't on last night for Forza Monday

That sucks, but it explains why I received a friend request from you the other day.
All this talk about password security made me go and start changing some of the passwords I have that are simple passwords.

yeah, the snow is awsome.....but it definately has been turning colder the last couple of days.

So cold that the dog has been in the last two nights. Went out Sunday morning and thought I had a dogsicle out in the backyard...she was shivering and her nose and feet were ice cold. I felt bad.....now, she won't even go outside when I go to the mailbox....obviously, she doesn't want to go out

ack! sorry to hear your account got haxored Keith! there are so many loser crooks online nowadays... don't they have better things to do then steal ppl's info? > anyhoo... hope u can get it resolved with M$ soon...

great to hear the bumble bee's buzzing again Cesar. yah, it's good to get it done right. all the 626 guys go to this place in azusa called JRX Rotary. i've been there a few times just to look around and just as a tag-along... but, i've yet to take my 8 there yet. at some point, i probably should- only because every freaking time i get my car back from Alhambra Mazda i get hairline scratches all over the freaking front bumper and fenders... now that i know how to get rid of the scratches- thanks to Jun, whom i'm forever greatful for teaching me- it's much less of a big deal. but, it's still hella annoying that they are such a crap dealership. <sigh> sad thing is they are like 10 minutes from my house, whereas JRX is like a 20 minute drive... LOL

games i'm chewing on atm: Ratchet & Clank Future: Crack in Time. so far, it's great and they've introduced a LOT of new game elements. for example, now when you fly around the galaxy you can now do "pit stop" landings on small moons for whenever you want to hone your skills or rack up some bolts, minerals, or zoonies... the 3-D imaging and gameplay on those sequences is pretty damn nice. the time puzzles (mazes) are also really fun to crack... but, still- for some reason Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction seemed to have a tighter, more compact and action-driven story line that kept you never wanting to put it down... i've heard that this is the last installment of R&C, and i'm really sad to hear that. i hope Insomniac will see the sales #s and think again before ending the series...

You're like Michael Scott of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.
While other branches were closing, Scranton, PA branch was still making money.

By the way, I'll be getting that game this Friday... finally!

Our department is planning a Year-End party luncheon. We do it every year.
Not a full blown xmas party because there are about 22,000 employees, but each dept. does something.

The Project Manager recently went to K1 for the 1st time and loved it.
Our party will be a catered grand-prix event at K1 in Anaheim.
