    NFL 2010

    BBQ and junk food at the ready!
  3. is this some ploy to elect the best festival in canada?
  4. That's a weird thing for a chick to say! HA!
  5. She needs a miracle! Congrats Tara and Brian!
  6. no doubt. she fuckkin' nails that thing!
  7. fucking joke. I'll be right back, I'm gonna go Google something and make it into a story about brad pitt fucking a monkey.
  8. Some great quotes from there, local. well put, in general.
  9. From Dogfish site: "Dogfish's Bitches Brew was released in 750ml bottles on 8/31/2010 to Dogfish wholesalers in the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, IL, IN. MA, MD. ME, NC, NJ, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, RI, VA, VT, WA, and WI" Doesn't look like it's available here
  10. My guess is either the LCBO or Beer Store.
  11. Bring your rain gear, kids! It is looking pretty wet for CTMF!!
  12. nice list but the fact that basketball is 4th negates the whole thing. I think hockey players are super fit and tough in their own right but those 350lb lineman i speak of can still run a 5 second 40. no contest.
  13. laughable. who said anything about 350 on 350? those guys don't tackle each other. how about 350 on 200 as in lineman killing a QB, running back or WR??? In the QB's case how about 10-15 times a game. not necessarily sacks but just the after throw crushes they get. and where are you getting these figures from dirt digger? ain't no fuggin' way they're going 45km an hour into the boards. maybe 1 in a 1000 open ice hits....maybe. a week to plan a strategy against the other team? that actually made me laugh out loud. once the season is in full swing they don't even have pads on in practice until wednesday because they're all healing from the game 3 days ago. no hockey player could play against the boys of the NFL and play 4 games a week. do you even think about this shit before you type it?
  14. Vuvuzelas banned from European soccer competition BERNE (Reuters) - Vuvuzelas have been kicked out of European competitions after UEFA said that the controversial plastic trumpets drowned out supporters and detracted from the emotion of the game. The plastic horns became a hallmark of the World Cup in South Africa, producing a monotonous droning sound, often likened to a swarm of bees, which provided a backdrop for every match. But they will not be allowed in stadiums in UEFA competitions such as the Champions League, Europa League and Euro 2012 qualifiers after UEFA's ruling Wednesday. "European football's governing body has informed its 53 member associations that it has taken the move for reasons related to Europe's football culture and tradition, saying that the atmosphere at matches would be changed by the sound of the vuvuzela," said UEFA in a statement. "The World Cup was characterized by the vuvuzela's widespread and permanent use in the stands," it added. "In the specific context of South Africa, the vuvuzela adds a touch of local flavor and folklore, but UEFA feels that the instrument's widespread use would not be appropriate in Europe, where a continuous loud background noise would be emphasized." CLEAR CRITICISM The statement then continued with a clear criticism of the controversial instrument. "The magic of football consists of the two-way exchange of emotions between the pitch and the stands, where the public can transmit a full range of feelings to the players. "However, UEFA is of the view that the vuvuzelas would completely change the atmosphere, drowning supporter emotions and detracting from the experience of the game. "To avoid the risk of these negative effects in the stadiums where UEFA competitions are played and to protect the culture and tradition of football in Europe -- singing, chanting etc -- UEFA has decided with immediate effect that vuvuzelas will not be allowed in the stadiums where UEFA competitions matches are played." The ruling appears academic as the vuvuzelas have shown almost no sign of catching on in Europe in the opening weeks of the new season. The UEFA ruling is the latest development in an apparent backlash against the vuvuzela, although the word itself last month earned a place in the Oxford Dictionary of English. Several English Premier League clubs banned the horns in July on safety grounds while they have also been barred from a number of rugby grounds in South Africa itself. Olympic Games 2012 chief Sebastian Coe said he did not want them at the event in London. They have also been banned from the current world basketball championship in Turkey on health grounds. FIBA, the sport's governing body, said it was too loud, especially in indoor arenas, and fans who flouted the ruling would be kicked out.
  15. laughable. Hockey players don't get driven into the ground by 350 pound monsters that can bench a small town. The boards give and unless you're getting Bertuzzi'd you have little contact with the ice.
  16. It's all subjective. I certainly don't agree with the choices AD put in his post above but that doesn't mean that they aren't to him. Umphrey's live shows do it for me. Something new around every corner and the anticipation that you mentioned. The melodies and precision of their music captures that emotion for me.
  17. I love how he plays with sound. Doubtful that it'll be a real dancey show but a treat for the ears for sure!
