:-? While I agree that hip hop is not music by definition, what you said makes absolutely no sense.

I got 'ya! I've never judged by boats. Or by standing or sitting. There's a alot of old guys who can't stand in their rickety jon boats, but will happily give you a clinic while sitting. I do sometimes judge whether they are a "good stick" by wayching where they fish, or more often by what they don't fish and just wade/float on by.

Muddy, when you are revamping your cast, focus on keeping your shoulder relaxed, and your elbow relaxed and close to your body. Snap from only your wrist. Kinda like drums. If Buddy Rich was a bass fisherman, how would he cast? ;D I always use two hands unless I'm casting at a short range target. I used to play lacrosse as a kid so it always felt natural to use two hands. Made sense to split the load between the two instead of put it all on one.

Just because you paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you! That was the right call, anyday.

Poppers and buzzbaits get my vote. I agree If they're hittin topwater, they're almost always hittin something else a little better... but why would you want to? It's topwater baby! When they're hittin topwater let them! They'll be your most memorable fish at the end of the season, especially if you tie into the bigguns!

I'd love to....but it's 10 degrees outside right now and there's almost a foot of ice on half the river! I appreciate the positive attitude though!

Awesome! Was one of the "lyrics": "Just pee in a closet,with confidence. Just pee in a closet, its that easy!" ???

Oh, one more thing. The Boss needs a boss, so he can fire him. He used to be young and boring. Now he's old and boring.

I guess you missed last year's game. Agreed. I was going to say it, but it would've been biased considering I'm a Giant fan!

Congrats Steelers fans. I was rooting for the Cards, just so they could win their 1st instead of Pitt. winning their 6th. Steelers definetly earned it though.

The guy made a couple of mistakes. I wouldn't call him a "thug", which would kinda implies that he's involved in organized crime. I wouldn't lump Phelps with that group of athletes.

Yeah,......cat turds! Personally I could care less what the man does in his personal life. Its too bad he coudn't use some discretion. He should have known better and he'll pay for it.

i thought jones did ok. when he gets to where hes not gasses after 2 rounds i think he will be a beast. Yeah, the cardio is aproblem, but he was throwing Bonar around like a ragdoll. Heck of a wrestler.

What did you all think about Jon Jones? He's from my area, grew up across the river from me, so Im pullin for him. If he gets his cardio up and reigns in some of those flashy strikes (he's gonna get caught doing that eventually, just ask Arlovski), he's going to be a serious contender!

Yes, but in my experience not as much. Smallmouth tend to perfer slightly cooler temps then LM, so don't be suprised if they are a little more active than LM during the cold months. You mentioned that you'd be fishing a river. I've also found that river SM are less affected by external factors (temp, weather, etc), and tend to be more aggressive than SM in lakes. I belive this to be due to the ever changing ecosystem that is a river. Being an aggressive feeder whenever its possible well leave you better off during times when feeding can be tough, like during a flood. As was mentioned before, current, and the way structure (the bottom of the river) dictates current is the key. Temperature will also play role in what strength of current SM will be in. This time of year, slow to no current is the ticket. As things get warmer however, they'll move into faster current. I've yet to find water too fast in my river for a mid-july smallie

YES! Someone gets it. Quarterbacks should already have all the "protection" they need without the addition of more rules (like the NFL needs more!) or hair-trigger flag throwing. Protect your QB, and he doesn't get hit. Thats the game of football. This QB worship makes me laugh. : I will give you that they are the most important Off. player, but not by as much as some of you think. Some of you act as if Tom Brady or the like could take the field by himself and win. I'm all for saftey. I'm all for no intentional helmet to helmet contact. Hell, leading with your head to tackle is bad technique anyway. The roughing the passer rule is needed, but the calls the refs are making nowadays are detriemental to the game. Let'em play.

Very good points. However it is going a little to far. You can't expect a 250-300 pound lineman to stop mid-air and change direction. But that what the refs seem to expect now, and it''s made for some TERRIBLE calls. Furthermore, I am one of those folks who doesn't believe that the entire game rests on the quaterback. I mean if that where the case, and there really is only 5 or 6 "decent" QBs in the league, as you put it, how is anyone winning games? There is alot to be said about the offensive line and recievers, but it rarely gets mentioned. QBs will get all the credit, or blame, despite the fact that there is 10 other guys on the field. If ANYONE of them doesn't do their job, the play is dead in the water. Finally....only 5 or 6 "decent QBs" in the league? Its the pros, they're all good. It's just some are VERY good, and others are on VERY good teams! The ones that "suck" would tool anyone of us in a pickup game. Oh, 1990 Giants. Superbowl Champs. Simms broke his foot at the end of the reg. season, 2nd string Hostetler took them all the way. In the end I feel a little extra protection for the QB is a good thing, but when the NFL is the NFFL (National Flag Football League) in twenty years, don't say we didn't warn you! ;D

Fedor by viscious ground and pound and/or armbar. I like Arlovski's chances alot better than Big Tim's. He's quicker on his feet and has much better head movement. I still think Fedor wins by pure explosiveness and his nasty ground game. fivebass- I don't think UFC will ever sign Fedor, unfortunately. Last I knew, he would only sign a contract if he could still compete in Russian SAMBO tourney's, which didn't fly with the UFC. I also heard that his management offered to do a one fight contract, but that was shot down too. Probably because Dana doesn't want to see the guy he's trashed talked for years waltz in, destroy his HW champ, then walk away with the belt. Anyway, thats what I heard. I'm with you though, he would completely overwhelm Lesnar.

Thats what you think. Personally I think they are nothing but a pain to keep. They will eat your fish, dig up your plants and then end up underneath your couch dead and stinking up the place a week later. They like to climb so make sure your tank is completely covered.

Try putting you thin mints in the freezer for a few hours first. I'm jealous of your bread pudding. I love bread pudding.

I don't know whats more refreshing: the picture of a guy in a t-shirt catching smallies in January or the fact that he didn't try to pass off 2.5 lber as a 5.5 pounder! Beautiful fish! Its not fair that you have both tropical weather and smallmouth in Hawaii!

Maybe a weightless Super Fluke?

Thought I'd add my 2 cents. I saw the game and it WAS a legal hit. There is really no debating it. He lowered his head and shoulder to try to break a tackle and instead got his bell rung. Had MaGahee popped right back up, there would be no argument here. Why can't we all realize that when 200-300 pound men run full speed at eachother in attempts to knock eachother over that.....gasp......they're gonna get hurt? I hate to say it, but it IS a part of the game. No CIVIL person cheers for it, but they should expect it to happen. Football is an INTENSE game to play. You are coached and encouraged to hit hard and play like a rabid dog. You are coached to "cut corners" (especially as a lineman) and not get caught. You are never coached to hurt anyone, yet it still happens because of the nature of the game. The players understand that, but apparently not all the fans do. Seems like whenever someone grets seriously injured in the NFL, it was "a dirty hit", "there should be more rules" yadda yadda. Wrong. The players know the game and they know the risks. If you can't handle it, watch golf or baseball! Oh, and I don't care for the Steelers either.....GO Cards!

Cards have are very hot right now. I like there chances of beating Pitt. If the Cards can put up a quick 14 points on Pitt (I know, a tall order), Pitt's sluggish offense might have a hard time digging itself out. Warner and Fitzgerald are going to be a very dagerous tandem.

Extortion. He doesn't care about making things handicap accessible, he cares about lining his pockets. What a low-life. Hopefully CA will recognize the situation and change the laws so that business owners have a chance to fix the problem before they get fleeced by this bum.
