He's got three 1000 yard seasons, Branch has none. Branch's career high in TDs was five, last year, Jackson's had seasons of 9, 8, 7, and 6 TDs. Hell, he caught 3 TD passes in six games last year, only two fewer than Branch had in all 16.<BR/><BR/>Plus, I'm not sure exactly how Qwest Field is a "fast track." Usually, that refers to domes, and Seattle hasn't played indoors since 2001.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825086499064577652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158362453152963142006-09-15T19:20:00.000-04:002006-09-15T19:20:00.000-04:00The Eagles very well may beat the Giants, but I'll...The Eagles very well may beat the Giants, but I'll be more conviced Philly isn't the weak sister of the NFC East when they play someone besides Texas A&M.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248195916947908984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158360550543814452006-09-15T18:49:00.000-04:002006-09-15T18:49:00.000-04:00I feel so special...

DS, of course there are perfect times for it, I was just struck by the use of the f-bomb in the instance with Saban. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, you da man Shanoff. I'm so glad you are continuing to write here.

I'd like to use them judiciously -- like in the way where there's nothing to say BUT "F!!!"<BR/><BR/>But I certainly understand your point: There are more clever ways to make comments than to flat-out curse.<BR/><BR/>But a well-placed curse can be VERY effective. It's just a question of picking my spots.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you pointed it out.<BR/><BR/>-- DanDan Shanoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126386161198401693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158353548664037242006-09-15T16:52:00.001-04:002006-09-15T16:52:00.001-04:00oh right, the reason i was posting in the first pl...oh right, the reason i was posting in the first place. Ravens/Raiders... its games like this that make me nervous. for all intents and purposes it should be a cake walk... but, this could have disaster written all over it. i'm going to say we (the ravens) will still pull it out, but it will be a humbling, "come back in the 4th quarter to win it and remind us that before last week no one thought we'd make the playoffs", kind of game.<BR/><BR/>but of course i'm *hoping* for a repeat of the buccs game. woot.Sheldizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198083524704018695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158352480769598002006-09-15T16:34:00.000-04:002006-09-15T16:34:00.000-04:00it's a personal blog not associated with any media...it's a personal blog not associated with any media outlet, government agency, or, as far as i know, tipper gore.... dan is under no obligation to censor himself if he feels an f-bomb necessary.<BR/><BR/>i like a good f-bomb.Sheldizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198083524704018695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158351819790281992006-09-15T16:23:00.000-04:002006-09-15T16:23:00.000-04:00you gotta include spreads with these picks boss.so...you gotta include spreads with these picks boss.<BR/><BR/>sons of kcEl Padrinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06726982143715938661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158351402983760552006-09-15T16:16:00.000-04:002006-09-15T16:16:00.000-04:00Am I the only one who feels like this?

That's what I'd bet Dolphins fans were *thinking* the other night. So, I'm OK with it when it's done in the "hey, I'm thinkin' the same things you guys are" vein.<BR/><BR/>I'd *love* to hear it on a national broadcast ...<BR/><BR/>"Favre ... back to pass ... down the middle ...

However, it is odd to read such a great writing dropping f-bombs as adjectives. You are a fantastic writer, can't you think of something more intelligent to say than "Just don't expect Nick Saban to fuck up the replay-flag toss again this week". <BR/><BR/>Am I the only one who feels like this? It just isn't professional (and yes I do know this is a blog). But Shanoff is a pro, I guess I just expected different.Rogehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08588687231104700516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1158347424088024762006-09-15T15:10:00.000-04:002006-09-15T15:10:00.000-04:00Dan, what's the over/under on:(my predictions in p...Dan, what's the over/under on:<BR/>(my predictions in parens)<BR/>1.
