Ok jongens zoals jullie weten konden sommige niet aanwezig zijn vanavond (28-11-09) DUS gaan we weer posten. Wie gaan er volgende week vrijdag mee uit? Zaterdag lijkt me niet ideaal i.v.m Sinterklaas. Iedereen die mee wil moet maar reageren want heen en weer bellen is een pain in the ass. Zodat er geen misverstanden zijn: 10 uur voor Paddy's. Daar kunnen we eventueel nog bepalen waar we die avond allemaal heen willen gaan.

Dallas Cowboys 09...vs...Dallas Cowboys...08

Seem every December the Cowboys swoon and it kills their playoff chances or seeding..Although I might remind you in the 2007 season of 13-3 the Cowboys went 2-2 in December and didn't play any starters in the final game..

Here is a comparison between the 08 Cowboys and the 09 Cowboys...

Current Position............Leading Division..............08......2nd...................Big Edge 09

Current Record.............09.....8-3........................08......7-4................... Big Edge 09

Home/Road...................09....2-3........................08.......3-2....................Big Edge 08

Opponents Records.......09....32-19.....................08......36-23-1..............Slight Edge 08

Offense Rankings..........09...23.2 ppg/14th..........08.....22.6 ppg/18th.......Slight Edge 09

Defense Rankings..........09...16.5 ppg/3rd...........08.....22.8 ppg/20th........Big Edge 09

Point Differential...........09...+6.6 ppg/6th............08.....-0.2 ppg/19th........Big Edge 09

Take Aways.................09....-3/19th....................08.....-11/30th...............Big Edge 09

Their is a clear edge in three areas for the 09 team..

One...The Cowboys of 09 have a one game lead on last years 9-7 team..On game last season would have been the difference in making and missing the playoffs..

Two...The Cowboys of 09 are a statistally better team than last season..They are healthier,scoring a little more,giving up a lot less and have one of the best special teams in the league..

Three...The Cowboys of 09 have a one game lead in the division..The 08 version was three games behind the NYG and were playing for a wild card berth..This team is playing for a division title and a home game in the playoffs..

Go Cowboys..

Hey Guys, 

Here is a Community article written by B/R's Lewis Pollis. Feel free to weigh in!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not normally one to defend the establishment. As a person who frequently finds myself holding the minority opinion, I am uncomfortable praising the status quo, which is usually more than capable of patting itself on the back.

With that in mind, I humbly request that this article not be painted with the brush of propaganda or dismissed as an attempt to suck up to the bigwigs of Bleacher Report.

Anyone who is reading this has probably noticed the changes that have been made to the site. Most prominent have been the amendments to the Sportswriter Profile pages, which have been completely reformatted.

If you skim the new community forum, you will see that the modifications have not gone over very well. Perhaps the most visible and vocal promoter of this standpoint has been Daniel Barber, aka Hotnuke.

As with the vast majority of Bleacher Report writers, I do not actually know Mr. Barber. I had read a few of his articles, and he mine; I knew of his reputation as a frequent Article of the Day winner and one of the top writers on the site. I usually agreed with his opinions and was impressed by his prose.

Mr. Barber reacted quite strongly to the site’s changes. “I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT,” he wrote. “This shit absolutely sucks. I mean SUCKS.”

He criticized the lack of aesthetic appeal, expressed concern that there was no way to highlight his AOTDs, and was frustrated by the lack of specific answers he was getting from the B/R administrative staff.

Now, I don’t have a problem with complaining. Personally, I don’t think the profiles are so ugly that the “enjoyment of coming and writing for B/R will simply not be there,” but if it bothers him that much, he certainly has the right to say so.

My concern was over his threat that, if he didn’t start getting specific answers and promises to change soon, he would suspend his account and remove his articles from the site.

Again, as an isolated incident, this wouldn’t be that big of a deal. A guy gets frustrated and decides he has better ways to spend his time. That’s fine.

What I fear is the mindset that may have led to his ultimatum and subsequent action. It’s a potentially radioactive mentality that, if it spreads, would be cancerous to the B/R community: the attitude that we, the site’s contributors, have the right to make demands about how the site should do business.

While I hate to put it in such callous terms, the truth is that BleacherReport.com owes us nothing.

The people behind the curtain provide us with a place to express our passion for sports to an audience that will actually appreciate it. They help us network with other fans and expose our work to major media outlets. All for free.

Sure, they use us to get their advertising money. The more we write, the more people read. The more people read, the more advertisers write checks.

That’s not reason to say they are indebted to us; that’s the nature of a symbiotic relationship. The fact that we help them make money doesn’t mean the service they give away is any less valuable. Not to mention that, were it not profitable, there would be no Bleacher Report.

I say all this with hesitance, as it feels extremely uncomfortable to defend “the man” when he is quite capable of doing it for himself. But the fact of the matter is, short of not plagiarizing our articles and selling our contact information to spammers, the guys in San Francisco have no obligations to us writers.

The editors could belittle our writing, ridicule our opinions, and insult our mothers, yet it would still be a worthwhile endeavor (such disrespect would surely chase a number of writers away, but the service would remain as valuable as it is now).

And, in spite of all this, the B/R administrators have gone above and beyond my expectations for responsiveness.

While I realize that other members have been dissatisfied at times with the communication (or lack thereof) from the people at the top, I have been very impressed by my interactions with them. Whenever I’ve emailed someone about a question or problem, I heard back within a few hours; that’s more than I can say for most services that I actually pay for.

I don’t like the new profile layout either. I think that the biography section has been marginalized, the awards are too big, the Bulletin Board is disorganized, and that removing the pictures from the display of recent articles was a mistake.

But unlike some other writers, I didn’t think it destroyed the fun of Bleacher Report. I took Dave Morrison at his word that our feedback was being compiled and our issues would be addressed in the near future.

Lo and behold, less than a week after the initial changes were made, D-Mo penned an announcement in response to all the major problems people had raised about the site’s new look. Most of the popular suggestions, he said, would soon be implemented; he also addressed the ones that weren’t, explaining why he and the staff disagreed.

Can you imagine someone from Facebook or MySpace doing that?

Bleacher Report isn’t perfect. But we writers have a pretty good gig going for us. It’s important that we respect that, especially at this time of year.

It’s been 64 years after the first military detonations of atomic bombs, and the world has avoided their use in warfare since.

The B/R community has seen one Hotnuke explosion. If we don’t put a stop to it now, soon there will be no one left but cockroaches.

What caliber would be considered the best for hunting???  I work at a sporting goods store and a guy came in looking for a target and I proceeded to ask him what he was shooting.  His reply ended up with him going outside and coming back in with a 5 ft tube and darts.  We played around with it in our shooting range and I was instantly hooked.  I have to get one now to go with my other arsinal of hunting paraphanlia.  Also, with the little searching I did I managed to come to the conclusion that the longer the tube the better for accuracy and speed.  Is this true???

Thanx in advance!!!

In tv la fiction sulla pornodiva

La Moana Pozzi
di Violante Placido

Su sky in una fiction l'attrice scomparsa a trentatrè anni. La serie vietata ai minori di 14 anni. L'attrice commenta: "Non era solo una pornodiva, ma una vera e propria star di umanità".

Un personaggio profondo e complesso: questo era Moana Pozzi per Violante Placido che ora ne ha preso in modo stupefacente le sembianze per una nuova fiction di Sky Cinema. La miniserie «Moana» in due puntate, prodotta da Sky e Polivideo, andrà in onda su Sky Cinema1 e Sky Cinema1-Hd martedì 1 e mercoledì 2 dicembre alle 21. I canali satellitari avvertiranno che si tratta di uno spettacolo riservato ai maggiori di 14 anni, ma la fiction va molto oltre l'attività di diva a luci rosse della Pozzi, famosissima negli Anni '80, scomparsa nel '94, a 33 anni, e indaga, con una sceneggiatura basata su interviste e documenti relativi alla stessa Pozzi, sulla sua vita privata e interiore.

Oltre a Violante Placido, che è riuscita ad assumere le sembianze di Moana tanto che chi la conosceva ha detto che è più Moana di Moana, nel cast ci sono Fausto Paravidino nel ruolo di Riccardo Schicchi, Giorgia Wurth in quello di Ilona Staller. La regia è di Alfredo Peyretti. Il vero Riccardo Schicchi, che lanciò Moana, ha apprezzato l'interpretazione di Violante Placido. Ilona Staller «Cicciolina», invece, che ha chiesto 30 milioni di euro di risarcimento per danni per l'utilizzo del suo nome in assenza di liberatoria, ha definito la fiction «un'operazione di mero business».
Violante Placido, come è entrata Moana nella sua vita? «La parte non mi è stata proposta, volevo farla io e sono andata al provino. Desideravo interpretare una donna di carattere. A chi ha detto che sono riuscita ad essere più Moana di Moana rispondo che è stata una grande donna e che mi ha accompagnato per tutto il film. Ho sentito la responsabilità del ruolo che è stato una sfida: raccontare questo personaggio esteriormente e interiormente. Moana ha fatto un percorso solitario, scegliendo il porno come forma di ribellione contro la sua famiglia e contro la società. Aveva bisogno di essere amata, ma non venne capita dai suoi familiari. Moana è una donna che ha fatto una scelta estrema, mantenendo una grande dignità».
C'è stato un cambio di regia a riprese già iniziate... «Il cambio mi ha creato problemi, perché questo è un progetto ambizioso. Sono entrata nel gioco un po' folle di una vita non vicina alla normalità delle cose e mi sono fatta travolgere». Si riconosce nel personaggio di Moana? «Un po' sì, ma io non ho fatto una scelta estrema come il porno. Lei lo ha fatto per rompere gli schemi e in questo senso mi riconosco in lei, nel voler uscire dai soliti sistemi». Che farà papà Michele Placido martedì sera? «Certamente guarderà "Moana"».

pure io me la guardo anche perchè violante oltre ad essere brava è pure bella....

Montreal confirms return of Canadian GP

MONTREAL (AP) Montreal confirmed it's back on the Formula One schedule for five years, starting in 2010.

Mayor Gerald Tremblay and federal and provincial politicians told a news conference on Friday a deal has been struck for the race to be held in the city every year through 2014.

The race had been held at Montreal's Gilles-Villeneuve track every year since 1978 before being dropped this year in a financial dispute between local authorities and F1 impresario Bernie Ecclestone.

The decision was a blow to civic pride, coming after Montreal lost its Major League Baseball team and its status as Canada's business capital.

But Formula One Management reinstated it in September for next year, subject to negotiations.

Force India retains Sutil, Liuzzi for 2010 season

SILVERSTONE, England (AP) Force India will retain Adrian Sutil and Vitantonio Liuzzi as its drivers for the 2010 Formula One season.

"We are very pleased to retain the services of both Adrian and Tonio for another season," team owner Vijay Mallya said Friday. "Consistency is key at this stage in the team's development and for the first time in many years we will have the continuity of not only the same drivers, but also the same engine and senior management.

"With this stability now in place I truly believe we have an excellent platform to build on and move forward on our strong 2009 performance."

Force India finished ninth out of 10 teams with 13 points in the constructors' championship.

After three seasons in F1, the 26-year-old Sutil recorded his best finish in 2009: fourth at the Italian Grand Prix.

"I want to be in the points on a regular basis, maybe even challenging for the podium," the German said.

Liuzzi retains his seat after being promoted from his role as test and reserve driver in September for the remaining five races.

"It was always my goal to be back racing in 2010 and I've finally achieved it," the 28-year-old Italian said. "I feel the five races I did in 2009 were a bit of a warmup - get back racing, learn the car, get the feeling back. Now I've done that I feel ready to really push next season."

A decision on the third driver will be made after Paul di Resta of Britain and J.R. Hildebrand of the United States complete their tests next month in Jerez, Spain.

Rosberg to drive for Mercedes

FRANKFURT (AP) Nico Rosberg will drive for the new Mercedes Formula One team in 2010.

Mercedes last week acquired a majority stake in Brawn GP, which won the championship last season, and will race under its brand name for the first time since 1955.

Mercedes did not name its second driver Monday. Team chief Ross Brawn dismissed speculation that it would be Michael Schumacher, the retired seven-time champion. Brawn told Bild newspaper on Monday that Schumacher had no plans for a comeback.

Rosberg, son of former F1 champion Keke Rosberg, was born in Wiesbaden, Germany. The 24-year-old Rosberg drove for Williams the past four seasons, with a second place in Singapore in 2008 his best finish.

"Nico is a great talent and with four years of experience in Formula One, he will be able to make an immediate impact in our team," Brawn said in a Mercedes statement Monday.

"I am really looking forward to driving a Silver Arrow," Rosberg said.

Brawn, in the Bild interview, said rumors of an impending Schumacher comeback were media speculation and that "there is nothing to them."

Schumacher's manager, Willi Weber, said Sunday that the former champion had met with Mercedes bosses recently.

"I know that Michael spoke with Dieter Zetsche and Norbert Haug at the season's finale in Abu Dhabi," Weber said.

Zetsche is the CEO of Daimler AG, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, and Haug is vice president of motor sport at Mercedes.

Schumacher retired in 2006. He abandoned plans for a temporary comeback this year with Ferrari because of a neck injury from a motorcycle crash.

BMW sells Formula 1 team to Peter Sauber

FRANKFURT (AP) German car maker BMW has agreed to sell its Formula One team to previous owner Peter Sauber, provided the team gets a place on the grid next season.

BMW announced in July that it would pull out of Formula One at the end of the season, citing the global economic downturn. The company said Friday that a previous agreement to sell the team to Qadbak Investments has been annulled.

"I'm the sole investor right now," Sauber told reporters at the team's base in Hinwil, Switzerland.

The 66-year-old owner said he planned to lead the team for just one season then find a successor.

Sauber said he was "very confident" that the FIA governing body would find a place on the grid for the team, which would use Ferrari engines.

The number of team employees will be cut from 388 to about 250, BMW said.

"That is not an enjoyable solution, but the best one available," Mario Theissen, BMW motor sports director, said.

BMW acquired a majority stake in Sauber in 2005.

"Our relationship with Peter Sauber has always been excellent and marked by absolute respect. We would like to express our thanks to Peter Sauber and the whole team for the excellent cooperation during the recent four years," BMW's development chief Klaus Draeger said.

BMW finished sixth in the constructors' championship last season. Its drivers were Nick Heidfeld of Germany and Robert Kubica of Poland.

Kubica has gone to Renault, while Heidfeld is without a team.

Force India tries Di Resta, Hildebrand for F1 role

SILVERSTONE, England (AP) Force India will give British driver Paul di Resta - cousin of IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti - and American talent J.R. Hildebrand a chance to test for a full-time role with the Formula One team.

Force India team owner Vijay Mallya said Tuesday the two drivers were being considered for a test and reserve driver role with the team next season. The three-day session will run in Jerez, Spain, from Dec. 1-3.

"Both of their showings in the simulator were excellent and we had no hesitations in offering them some valuable testing," Mallya said. "We will be looking at their performance on track very closely and should they perform well, as we are confident they will, we will look at a permanent role for one within the team in 2010."

Di Resta, 23, finished third in German touring series DTM with Mercedes last season. Hildebrand, 21, is the IndyLights series champion who becomes the first American to drive an F1 car since Scott Speed in 2007.

The test session, the first since the end of the season earlier this month, is designed to give young drivers more experience since in-season testing is banned.

"It's an exciting opportunity for me as F1 has always been my dream and I feel this is taking me one step closer to achieving it," Di Resta said.

Hildebrand said he can't wait to get his first taste of F1.

"I know it's a big challenge but I feel ready to tackle it," said Hildebrand, who holds a place at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology but has been granted a two-year deferral to pursue his racing career. "As an American we don't necessarily have the culture of F1 but anything that's so impressive and cutting-edge demands respect. I hope I can do the car and myself justice."

The BMW Sauber team, which is pulling out of F1, said it will go ahead with a test for 18-year-old drivers Alexander Rossi and Esteban Gutierrez. The German team said it had promised the duo a chance to test drive an F1 car before it decided to withdraw from the sport, and that going back on their pledge "was not an option."

Rossi, an American from Nevada City, California, finished fourth in the International Formula Masters series this season. Gutierrez won the 2008 Formula BMW Europe title.

Manager: Schumacher met Mercedes bosses

FRANKFURT (AP) Seven-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher has met with Mercedes bosses, his manager said Sunday, amid speculation that the driver may come out of retirement to join the new F1 team.

"I know that Michael spoke with Dieter Zetsche and Norbert Haug at the season's finale in Abu Dhabi," said Willi Weber, Schumacher's manager.

Zetsche is the CEO of Daimler AG, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, and Haug is vice president of motor sport at Mercedes.

Mercedes has taken a majority stake of Brawn GP - which won the Formula One championship this year - and will in future race under its own name.

The new team has not yet announced its driver lineup the next season, but has retained Ross Brawn as its chief. Brawn was closely linked to Schumacher's success at Ferrari.

Schumacher retired in 2006 after winning a record seven F1 titles. He abandoned plans for a temporary comeback this year with Ferrari because of a neck injury from a motorcycle crash.

Schumacher's spokeswoman, Sabine Kehm, said two days ago that a comeback was "highly unlikely at the moment."

Mercedes is believed to want at least one German driver in its ranks.

Who is your pick or favorite to win the Boys u13 Sate Cup and why...

ebbene molti potrebbero pensare che c'azzeccano come direbbe il buon di pietro. E' presto detto:

Darren Fletcher cominciò a giocare con lo United negli anni bui, quelli di Mourinho al Chelsea e del Manchester che usciva fuori dalla CL finendo ultima nel girone senza neanche la qualificazione in UEFA.
Fletcher venne apertamente criticato, come tanti, in un'intervista rilasciata da Roy Keane allora capitano del Man Utd. Agli inizi era smilzo, piedi storti, senza personalità... un vero bidonaccio insomma. Molti cominciavano a chiedersi perché Ferguson lo mettesse in campo, gli dicevano di venderlo o di non puntare su di lui, non solo addetti ai lavori e giornalisti ma anche i tifosi dei Reds non lo sopportavano....

ebbene a distanza di pochi anni Darren Fletcher è uno dei migliori mediani al mondo tanto da dare la colpa della sconfitta dello United in finale di Coppa col Barcellona alla sua assenza sebbene il Man Utd avesse lo stesso Rooney e Ronaldo.

Ora quello che voglio chiedere, può succedere la stessa cosa a Torino, sponda juventus, al giorno d'oggi? La mia risposta è no, assolutamente no.

I'm a Fanatic cheers

THIS IS DANGEROUS!!!  Folks wake up, these so called PRO-COACHES couldn't carry a working mans lunch bucket at the foundry I work at!  Have your kids play soccer and do other things also like alternate sports, School activities, church and volunteer work!    Get a clue, they are only gonna get so good, in most cases...

L'Eternauta (El Eternauta) è un fumetto di fantascienza sceneggiato da Héctor Oesterheld e disegnato da Francisco Solano Lopez. È stato pubblicato per la prima volta in Argentina tra il 1957 ed il 1959 sul periodico Hora Cero Semanal. In Italia è stato pubblicato nel 1977 sul settimanale Lanciostory e successivamente in una rivista omonima.
La trama è spesso considerata una sorta di anticipazione della tragica realtà che l'Argentina avrebbe in seguito conosciuto: il dramma dei desaparecidos, della dittatura militare (il cosiddetto Processo di Riorganizzazione Nazionale) e persino lo stadio. Gli autori avevano certo intuito il clima politico che permeava il loro paese. Lo stesso Oesterheld scomparve nel 1977, vittima della dittatura assieme alle sue quattro figlie.

Capolavoro. Cercatelo e piangetene il ricordo.
