Newsnet5 lets you link stories just fine. ZN is set to change the word ken+ to can't. When ken+ is in the url, that's when everybody has problems.

Harrison went undrafted in the 2002 NFL draft , fearing he was too short (six feet) to play linebacker, and too light (240 pounds) to play on the defensive line. A few teams did send him training camp invites. The Steelers signed Harrison as an undrafted rookie in 2002. Harrison spent two years on and off the practice squad for the Steelers, being released three times, and was also briefly on the active roster towards the end of the 2002 season, playing only special teams. Teammate and fellow linebacker James Farrior later told NFL Network that Harrison was so green early on in his career that he would simply “give up” on plays he was struggling on and would even ask the coaches not to play him when he was struggling. Farrior said, "He was a knucklehead that didn't know the plays. We'd be in practice, in training camp, and he might not know what he doing so he'd just stop and throw his hands up and tell (the coaches) to get him out of there. We thought the guy was crazy."He was signed by Baltimore in late 2003, then sent to the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe, but eventually cut by the Ravens. After being cut for a fourth time, Harrison considered not playing anymore. Shortly after, he was signed a fourth time by the Steelers during training camp in 2004 after Clark Haggans sustained an injury in an offseason weightlifting accident. Showing much improvement, Harrison made the final roster and has remained with the Steelers since.sourceSI's Rare Photos of JamesA lot of stuff was left out of the article, James also called Colt “an idiot kid quarterback.”

Try using this after you write something that is intended as sarcasm.Example: I really think congressman Smith is an honest guy.

Anybody want to bet the girl eventually drops the charges?

Stone cold nut. I'm pretty sure I've told this story here before. The year Dwight Smith beat Ken+ in Ken+, CK and I were walking to our seats and got stopped as the Ken+ team was coming out of their locker room. It was as cold as it's ever been in Ohio that day, every Ken+ player looked like they were going to the electric chair, except for one dude. I had no idea who James was at the time, but he was jumping around and yelling like he was getting ready for the fight of his life. I think he lives most days of his life like that.

+1 Having never talked to the guy, from what I read/hear, I don't think it's going to happen. With that being said, some exciting football and some victories will make me forget all about it.

I would really appreciate that. My personal attendance numbers will double this year if true.

Man would that help out our secondary!

Your comparing the skill set of the QB's you listed above to which QB on our team???

My vote for least favorite crab cakes goes to Obrycki's. Had one in the BWI airport Monday. Stay away from that place.

This attitude stinks IMO. I hope the team proves you wrong.He would have been much better off saying he didn't want the QB to get hurt in a meaningless game, which the vast majority of BCS vs non-BCS games are (with the exception of the pile of cash that lands in the non-BCS teams' banks).When is the last time an Akron QB got hurt against a BCS team? Play to win. Think NC State.

This attitude stinks IMO. I hope the team proves you wrong.

I'm going to wait until I see what QB's will be starting for both teams before I predict. OSU by double digits no matter who it is though.

The first time they played this:

Deserves repeating: Marshall averaged 2.6 blocks per game last season and recorded nine against Can't State in the MAC conference tournament championship.

Halloween 1993 by far number 1. Unfortunately, I didn't even know I was going until an hour before the show. Xavier/Akron game a distant second. Motor City Madman was somewhere around 2b.

I'm thinking of a number right now, I believe it was Blutarksky's grade point average also...

+1 This is all I need to know.

I have been plenty critical of the marketing department in the past. This is not the time to do it. They are trying to put together a big homecoming weekend. It seems like a lot of time and energy has gone into planning. Printing and mailing was minimal cost. Season ticket holders received them for informational purpose. If they didn't, how would they plan a weekend that they already have tickets for. Let's give them credit when they actually try to do something. I hope this is a start to something that gets rolling. Of course I have said this umpteen times before. Promoting the season opener is a separate issue.
