    Really, SAME. I think you speak for us all here on TPB.

      Sounds like your mind is wandering during games. Stay focused

        History and the NFL are two of my passions, when they cross paths I get carried away. Saint-Just was such an interesting but relatively unknown figure in the French Revolution, and it's an unusual name. I'm just really curious if there is a connection.

          You guys are awesome. Every time I hear his name I think back to the reports from Redskins fans about how awful he was and cringe. But he has actually filled a role and not been too bad. We have an awesome defensive staff. Clink is top of the heap as far as assistants go in my mind and ELston is right there. Both take scrap heap players and make them realize more than their potential
          Like, how am I a traitor? Your team are traitors.

            Love it - I echo Heat's appreciation.

            When can we get back to exotic Australian hardwoods? I feel there is much more for me to know ...

                I heard if we play a game north of the border as part of the NFL expansion program, Lance will have his name show as Tres Bien.

                  Damn right! Have to keep Canadians on the Chargers. Right now him and Deone Leonard.

                  Maybe we add Mesidor this draft!

                    How does St Juste stack up? Good signing?
                    Also……France has gone soft. Napoleon would be disgusted.
