From Hong Kong: Did I at least get 8 this week?
the eagles look like a much better team than 5-6...
I though it was the Patriots just looking average....
they shut down moss -- no small feat, and the pates could not stop the in-cuts...
I'm just messin with ya, Germ, but your interior defense has some holes. It will be interseting to see what others learned from Mr. Reid. :wink:

yup -- 8 so far and a good chance for number 9 tonight. Well done indeed for making your picks three weeks in advance!
I assume you have all heard about Sean Taylor being shot? I just discovered this news a few minutes ago...
Sean Taylor "Clinging To Life"
Richard Sparpstein, who has represented Sean Taylor in legal matters in the past and is a friend of the family, said moments ago that the player's life is hanging in the balance in the hospital. Sharpstein, speaking from the hospital, said Taylor is "nonresponsive and unconscious" and the doctors are "worried about a possible brain injury or death."
Sharpstein, who has been with Taylor's family at the hospital much of the day, said that there are major worries that Taylor may have lost oxygen to the brain, and that no other procedures are planned for right now. "They're waiting to see if he comes to," Sharpstein said. He was shot in the groin/thigh area near the femoral artery and lost copious amounts of blood. He was airlifted to the trauma center and endured several hours of surgery, Sharpstein said.
Taylor is in intensive care, Sharpstein said, and his girlfriend and child were not injured in the attack. Sharpstein said Taylor was sleeping when he heard a noise in the living room. The intruders were at his bedroom and Taylor reached for a machete or other form of knife he keeps nearby in case of emergency, and two shots were fired, with one striking his leg.
"Right now he's clinging to life and we're all praying he makes it," Sharpstein said.

Tragic story. I have to leave now, but perhaps someone could start on thread on this subject. (unless, of course there is one posted already)
Saw a brief clip this AM before work, but no details yet. Guessing there may be more to the story...

Yeah, well, that paramecium is just fulla holes..
On Sean Taylor, I don't know enough about him to start a thread, but am certainly sorry he was shot and wish him and his family well.

Hmm. How often do you see a word like paramecium used in a football thread?
Not to mention vacuoles...
