Breaking Bad was approaching Wire territory the first two seasons, but since it abandoned the realistic drama it started with and ventured into over-the-top comic book-level fare, what with the silent Terminator-like Cousins and omniscient archvillain Gus, it's nowhere near The Wire.
I thought that was going to go to Peyton Manning?

i compare the wire more to the shield. it's basically a cop drama. they are both awesome shows. but neither one is as good as breaking bad. breaking bad has such a tight storyline and it balances the drama and the dark humor so well that nothing can touch it.
yeah, it's a bit on the unrealistic side at times, but no different than some of the shit omar pulled in the wire. and i hate that you assholes are making me down talk the wire because i love the wire!
also bionic i somewhat feel the same about music in general, but that's only because what the music companies were pushing in the 80's/90's isn't what they are pushing today. to some youngsters, the music of today is more relevant and meaningful to our culture than ever before.
some of the bands i have really grown to love over the past 10 years who aren't really "huge" in the same way nirvana or radiohead are: the kills, silversun, witchcraft/graveyard, jack white (in his various bands.... not the raconteurs though!), the mars volta, mini mansions, josh homme (everything he does is gold!), yeah yeah yeahs, vitalic, wolfmother, anything mike patton has done, kill hannah (before they sold out!), tenacious d (joke band but some of their shit is really good).... there are others that have come out in the past decade or so that i can't think of (dont have my mp3's on this laptop to check either).
there were a couple years there where i just didn't go in search of new music and was content to just listen to all the albums from my youth but if you open your mind you may find some new instant classics for yourself!

Their last album wasn't that bad. I just want to know where they hid their instruments, maybe for the next album they can bring out the guitars again?

Breaking Bad is my favorite television show but to me it seems like it's the type of show that can really drive some people away.
I also love Mad Men, although not as much.
Edit: Music? I'm really open minded but I always end up going back to the Gorillaz.

That Lions loss was the most infuriating game of the season. I give you guys props but I'm still mad
im goin to handshake part 2, already got my tickets. gonna be so awesome. Sunday Night Football week 2!
I love BB but sometimes the humor falls flat for me. Vic's one-liners on the other hand are always great.

I think I've watched the first three eps of s1 and I can't get into it. Does it get better? 'Cause right now it's mostly just boring the :blarry out of me.

Does The Wire get better? Absolutely. I usually tell people to watch the first four episodes because of the slow start. It's worth watching. If only to make more pop culture references make sense

I have a wildly eclectic taste in music. I'll listen to just about anything. From AC/DC and Dragonforce to Disney soundtrack songs. Just all over the place.
But I'm not sure I have a whole album of anything on my iPod. Just 1400+ songs from hundreds of artists. Plenty of different playlists depending on my mood or what I'm doing. Lots of rock for working out.

Note the lowercase "p." When you use the capital letter it makes you want to barf.

Goddamn. I looked everywhere for a "Cam Knows" t-shirt from Nike and they're sold out. Nice to see Panthers stuff sold out finally, but I wanted that. :lol
Speaking of which, this:

I'm looking for that great comic that you posted a while ago.
With all the countries being all patriotic and such and then the German guy get thrown in jail for doing the same.

Quick n' Dirty google search had something similiar...
From what I understand, you could have one about England as well since "English pride" is frowned upon but Scottish, Welsh, and Irish pride is A-Okay.

Eh, nothing new really. SF has had to deal with some of the most travel since forever. Puts their record 18 game road winning streak back in the late 80s into perspective somewhat though.

Yes that's the one!
I couldn't find it on Google.
This was the teams they played in that streak. Anything with a D is a division game.
88
San Diego
Atlanta (D)
Chicago
89
Indy
Tampa Bay
Philadelphia
New Orleans (D)
Dallas
New York Jets
Atlanta (D)
LA Rams (D)
90
New Orleans (D)
Houston
Atlanta (D)
Green Bay (last time SF has won in GB as well)
Dallas
Cincinnati
LA Rams
Minnesota
Remember, the NFC West used to consist of the following teams
Atlanta
New Orleans
LA\St. Louis
Carolina
If anything, the NFL has helped the 49ers by readjusting the divisions like they did. Seattle, St. Louis and Arizona cuts their travel time down by a lot.

Brees has won his franchise tag grievance against the Saints.

What does this mean? They can't tag him now?

They can still tag him this year like normal, but if they tag him next year they have to give him a 44% raise. Brees is gonna get paid now.

No they can tag him this year. They can tag him next year too but he'll making about $24 million guaranteed if they do.
I had a weird relationship with Steve Young as a kid.
On one hand, I was supposed to hate him. On the other hand, I loved watching him play. But he didn't compare to my based God:
Yep. Even though he's shamefully turned his back on Tebow, if I was going to take one player in his prime, it would be Elway
The Brees thing is funny b/c it was suggested the arbitrator would give the union a "win" since he's mostly sided with the league. And it only nets Brees about $5m, and probably will apply to about 3 people over the life of the CBA
The Saints still have the leverage. Brees already wants $20m/yr, which he'll get with two tags. But after that he'd be 33 with a diminished market value.
edit: dp sorry

I think Brees has all the leverage. The Saints are looking at a potentially down year, they cant afford to have their best player hold out. They have to get him signed. I think all the tag rulling does is it sets the starting point for their contract talks.

Man just a few years ago it seemed like nothing could get better for the Saints.

Cosell has his writeup on Eli. I guess I didn't know he had never missed a game. Peyton had that 10 year streak of never missing a game as well. Unreal genetics. Archie should have put himself out to stud
