Probably not low scoring.

I can see low scoring

Only a couple touchdowns and a field goal. Question is… whose kicker nails the field goal?

Baseball Season, Football Season, and oh god when the fuck will this fucking month end season.

If their quotes are any indication

they are doing some soul searching. They know they are getting their butts kicked. They know winning will bring them more money, if they are gonna try something different from what they’ve always done now is the time.

He's on a mormon mission half way across the country and hasn't posted here in like 8 months.

He’s an old regular who can only post like once a month till he comes back. Odds are he probably won’t even get to read that post and he’ll just do it again, so it’s not a huge deal with Chas for now. Just figured I’d let you know in case he does it again in a month or so.

If it takes the Corcoran taste to like it, it can't be too good.

Just so you know though, LL has become very anal retentive about capitalization and punctuation, so when you come back for good keep that in mind.

Generally I'm pretty good about capitalization and such, so I don't think it'll be necessary to use it for me in any situation.

Of course that just makes me look like I’m cocky.

Go for the four or five alarm wings. You still get the flavor of the sauce, but with a nice kick. The seven alarm will seriously fuck you up.

He seems to do the opposite of what we predict.

Remember, before 2005 and 2006 we thought he’d collapse? Then he flipped out in 2006 so we said “maybe he’ll be good again in 2007” and he sucked hard all year, so we said he was done and were calling for him to be benched? Then he flipped out and hit like 80 HR in 2 months? Then this year we predicted slight decline and he has his best year ever.

He has the weirdest career ever.
