Mine has lost or destroyed phones in the following manner: 1. Dropped in margarita 2. Dropped in toilet 3. Dropped in dog's water bowl 4. Dropped in driveway after using my truck- I unknowingly ran over it going to work the next morning 5. Listening to music with the phone in her waistband and decides to wade into the Caribbean. .. killed the ear buds too.

Put this on DVR last week.... watching now... wishing I was baked out of my skull...

You'll excuse me if I'm not totally shocked and/or surprised...

Wonder what it is- my dog goes crazy in the stuff, too. He'd run forever in it if he could... I take mine out to run the golf course in the mornings... when it snows he'll run down a hill and throw himself on the ground and slide on his side thru the snow.... we call it turf-surfing...

While Zappa was several years older, we lived within a few miles of each other in several vastly different areas of Southern California. From the high desert of Lancaster, the LA suburbs, San Diego and Ontario... really strange we followed similar geographical travels. Ever listen to:

Sounds vaguely familiar... like the centerfold questionnaires... Turn-on's? Turn-off's? ...ew............

They just didn't make school teachers like that when I was a kid....

Exactly. "Motivation....." gimme a break.

Rivera is Rivera. What you've seen is what you're going to get. You think he can flip a switch and turn on an entirely new method of coaching this team in order to save his job? Sorry, I don't see it nor do I see this as a corporate method of motivating someone in a management position.

I don't know about you guys, but in the real adult world of employment- regardless of profession- one does not hold anothers job over their head as motivation. Nor does the notion of the carrot on a stick (playoffs=job retention). If I worked for a boss who thought that was an effective form of motivation and basically told me they were beginning to look for my replacement, I'd assume my tenure was coming to an end. And even if I achieved whatever measure of success he hinted at to ensure my future, I'm not sure I'd want to continue working under those conditions. I, for one, do not believe reaching the playoffs are necessarily a component of coaching. I think Rivera should be gone regardless, and had it not been for the time it took to bring in Gettelman, Rivera might have been replaced before this season. The GM knows who he wants to coach this team, and Gettelman is no different, except he wasn't given that opportunity this season because the FO took their time in hiring him.

Well, Sam Mills' #51 is the only number officially retired by the Panthers, that's why Miles doesn't issue it.
