Do we have a "who needs a star" thread going?
I'd rather join someone else's than start one. I'm shy. :evilgrin:

2. Not as yet ...

Not that I've seen anyway.

I'll be having my regular, mostly ignored, generally boring trivia contests for a star Friday or Saturday. I'll do it like I did last time, which seemed to encourage more participation, by letting people already having stars play, and if they win the star, let them give direct who should be given the star.

3. Well, if I may be selfish, here, I will probably need one.
I'm sure mine will disappear when the current drive ends, and unfortunately, I don't have the money to donate to DU right now (:cry: ).

5. Thanks petersond.
And I sure hope we do get them back. Last week's game was a great one. Seneca Wallace seems more comfortable in his role is QB, though he's no Matt Hasselbeck (and he knows that too).

6. agreed...Wallace has pretty good mobility
too...it actually looks like he has been practicing/studying as the second stringer...most of the time, when the second string qb comes in, they usually blow it, big time(ime)....:)

8. Did you see Hasselbeck's face when the Hawks got the touchdown
to give them the lead? (I think it was in the 3rd quarter, or beginning of the 4th). He looked as happy as if he had thrown the pass. Now THAT's team spirit!

9. yep, I saw it...
Shaun looked happy as can be most of the game...personally, I was peeved everytime the Rams held a sustained run...I'm in Missouri, and I'm surronded by Ram fans...

I still cannot fathom why the Rams, who are in St. Louis, are in the NFC West...the alignments for pro teams have always been goofy to me...

14. One of the mysteries of the sports universe, I guess.
Like why is Texas in the American League West in baseball? The other three teams are west coast teams. Go figger.

15. They used to be the LA Rams
Of course, the divisions have all been re-aligned long after they St. Louis Cardinals moved to Phoenix and the Anaheim Rams moved to Senloo. Heck, the Hawks started out in the AFC.

16. yeah,
AFC West...and I still carry dislike towards the AFC West teams...damn, most of my life the Hawks have been steam rolled by the rest of the AFC west...bleh, Denver, Oakland, San Diego, and KC Chiefs...it was a tough division...

I was pretty upset about getting the boot out of the AFC West...but damn, the NFC west is all Hawks! So, it isn't that bad...:)

11. I have a feeling that a lot of people are.
Last drive, I was able to make a donation on behalf of another, but this time, I can't even do one for myself. :hug:

12. The thing that sucks is that I work ALL the time
I'm just not making any money. It was a splurge for me to buy a space heater so I wouldn't have to sleep with the oven on.
