    as in pre-book and pre-order.

    Just heard a better one watching ice hockey where one of the commentators referred to "pre-scouting the opposition"! (battered)

    Hopefully the Patriots to beat Dallas, and Saints to get off the mark, although with Hasselbeck doing well for my fantasy team!
    I'll be watching up til about 11pm and then recording the rest.

    Please Explain.........

    why you don't like Cowboys and you want Pats to win. I would have thought you would be up for the underdogs. Saints start to the season is a huge shock. Then again I didn't expect much from Packers.

    Cowboys all the way

    The Monday night game last week was the most entertaining 2 minutes of NFL I've seen in my 12 years of following the sport.

    Cowboys QB had a mare last week, complete opposite tonight will do the trick, and they'll remain undefeated

    RE: Please Explain.........

    Liked the Patriots since the early '80's when I started watching, disliked Dallas since the same time - probably as a result of rooting for the Redskins in the first superbowl.

    Dallas are up there with Miami as teams I firmly dislike though.

    My allegiances have shifted somewhat in recent years since going to games, prior to 2000 I would have said the Patriots were "my" team, but then I went to my first NFL game in New Orleans. Since going to Philly I've developed a soft spot for the Eagles which could well get stronger depending on unrelated events!

    Didn't see that game, read the report on Tuesday and it sounded good.

    Is that the one you were on about before? If so, it is pretty stupid.

    Good Start For Patriots

    Was surprised to get home at the end of the first quarter to them 14-0 up already. Cowboys need to up it, but they look nervous with home advantage.

    RE: Good Start For Patriots

    I'll settle with how it's going for the Dallas offense, team I play this week in the fantasy league have Romo and Owens!

    i have a pet-hate for "merge together"

    or "combine together". If you work in computing you probably hear this a lot.

    H

    You know, when some people spell out words with the letter 'H' in them.They really put some effort into aspirating this letter- please don't:the pronunciation is just&quot;aitch&quot;.</p>

    God, I'm a grumpy old sod.</p>

    RE: H

    I hate the current trend of emphasising the letter 'g'. When I was a kid you sang a song. Nowadays you SinG-a song. (banghead)
