Denver Broncos
Peyton Manning - #18 - QB
|6' 5"/ 230 lbs.
|New Orleans, LA
|Years played
|1998, 1st round, 1st pick by Colts
Manning completes 5,000th career pass
On Thursday night, Broncos QB Peyton Manning joined Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks in NFL history with 5,000 completions.
MVP Meter: Rookie QBs in the running
Two rookie signalcallers — Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson — are among our top 10 candidates on this week's MVP Meter.
Key matchup: Bucs pass rush vs. Broncos pass protection
In today's Key matchup, we look into the Bucs' pass rush ahead of its meeting with Peyton Manning and the Broncos.
MVP Meter: Manning, Brady back on top
The top of this week's MVP Meter is a bit like that comfy old blanket you may have pulled out from the closet on a cold night recently.
Crennel has gotten best of Manning in rivalry
Although Peyton Manning has won three straight games against Romeo Crennel-coached teams, Crennel has controlled him well.
MVP Meter: Brees could make late push
Saints QB Drew Brees, the league leader in touchdown passes, is rising on this week's MVP Meter.
MVP Meter: Race is neck and neck
We may be headed for a photo finish to the MVP race if top contenders like Matt Ryan and Peyton Manning keep pace.
Quarterback injuries mar terrific matchups
Week 11 has some gems on the schedule, but many marred by potential QB injuries. Here's a look at the slate as we head for the final third of the season.
Friday's 60-second rant: Luck needs an AFC rival to emerge
With Andrew Luck poised for a long and storied career, who in the AFC can step forward and play Tom Brady to Luck's Peyton Manning?
Wednesday's 60-second rant: Elway deserves credit for more than Manning
John Elway is PFW's top front-office executive at midseason, and he deserves credit for much more than signing Peyton Manning.
MVP Meter: Four-man race at midway point
While Falcons QB Matt Ryan has held the top spot on the Meter for almost the entire season, it looks like four players have a real shot at becoming the 2012 MVP.
With Luck in Indy, Manning in Denver, everyone won
Peyton Manning in Denver and Andrew Luck in Indy couldn't have worked better for both clubs; three bad coaching decisions; and more from Week Nine.
Broncos improving, but could still start faster
As good as the Broncos have looked in their past two games, slow starts remain a bugaboo.
Week Nine handicapping column
In his Week Nine handicapping column, PFW's Mike Wilkening says he sees no reason to stop siding with the rolling Broncos.
Rodgers, Manning named Players of the Month
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and Broncos QB Peyton Manning were among the league's Players of the Month for October.
Manning will be the Broncos quarterback through at least 2014. The four-time Most Valuable Player's contract called for a guaranteed salary of $20 million in 2013 and 2014 if he was on the Denver roster Tuesday, which marks the start of the new league year. The final two years of his contract - 2015 and 2016 - are worth $19 million each, but are not guaranteed.||||||| Coming off multiple neck operations, Manning threw for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns last season and was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year. He turns 37 on March 24.
John Fox has some bad news for the other 31 NFL teams: Peyton Manning could be even better in 2013. Fox says a year ago the Broncos were doing homework on Manning. They saw a dramatic improvement in Manning's workouts last offseason at Duke, and then with the quarterback's passing in the second half of the 2012 season. Manning led Denver to the AFC's best record, 13-3.||||||| The Denver coach says Thursday at the league's annual scouting combine that with another offseason to heal and to fine-tune his comfort with Denver's offense, the four-time MVP and reigning Comeback Player of the Year could have a more impressive second season in the Mile High City.
Manning's stunning return from four neck surgeries has netted him The Associated Press 2012 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award.||||||| The four-time league MVP guided the Broncos to the AFC's best record, 13-3, in his first season in Denver. Before sitting out 2011, Manning had never missed a start in his first 13 seasons with Indianapolis. Manning received 31 1-2 votes Saturday from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. He easily beat Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who got 17 1-2 votes after his comeback from major knee surgery.
Manning tied yet another NFL record Thursday, this one held by Tom Brady, when he won his sixth career Offensive Player of the Month award. Manning joined Kurt Warner (2001) as the only players with 10 TDs, 1,300 yards, a 70 percent completion percentage and five wins in December as the Broncos (13-3) captured the top seed in the AFC playoffs.||||||| He did it while wearing a glove on his throwing hand for the first time in his career, testing it in home games against the Browns and Chiefs in preparation for cold weather in January. Manning said he's been "OK the past two weeks," but he's been more than that - his completion percentage was 5.8 points higher and his QB rating was 19.2 points better with the glove.
Manning, in search of his fifth MVP award and, yes, a second Super Bowl title, finished 23 for 29 for 304 yards, three scores and with a 144.8 passer rating on Sunday against the Chiefs.||||||| "I threw it OK today, I guess," said Manning, who finished the season with 4,659 yards, 37 touchdowns and a 105.8 passer rating, all second best in his 15-year career.

Eagles set to interview Arians, Bradley
By Rob Maaddi/AP
While Andy Reid has found a new home, the Philadelphia Eagles' search to replace him could take some time.
The Eagles were granted permission Friday to interview Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley for their coaching vacancy.
Team officials already met with three candidates and plan to interview Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy in Denver on Sunday. Oregon coach Chip Kelly was on Philadelphia's list, but a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press he's nearing a deal with Cleveland and the Eagles are "heading in another direction."
That person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team isn't discussing its negotiations publicly, said the Eagles planned to interview several other candidates regardless of any conversations with Kelly.
Reid, who was fired Monday after a 4-12 season, has agreed to a five-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to two people familiar with those negotiations. Reid flew to Kansas City on Friday and already has started assembling his coaching staff, which should include some former assistants.
The Eagles interviewed Penn State's Bill O'Brien on Thursday and met with Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan and special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong on Wednesday. O'Brien is remaining at Penn State. The Eagles wanted to talk to Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, but he signed a contract extension to stay with the team through next season.
The interviews with Arians and Bradley will take place next week.
Arians was 9-3 as interim coach in Indianapolis filling in for Chuck Pagano. He previously served as Pittsburgh's offensive coordinator from 2007-11. The 60-year-old Arians is quite familiar with Philadelphia, having coached Temple from 1983-88.
Bradley is in his fourth season in Seattle. His defense finished first in the NFL in points allowed (15.3) and fourth in yards (306.2).
"There are some outstanding college coaches out there and some outstanding coordinators out there," owner Jeffrey Lurie said after firing Reid. "There are outstanding coaches that used to coach in the National Football League out there. (We'll leave) no stone unturned, and we're open to it all."
The Eagles' search could last until after the Super Bowl. There are several other coaches on playoff teams that could get interviews with Philadelphia, including Cincinnati's Jay Gruden and Mike Zimmer, Green Bay's Ben McAdoo, Seattle's Darrell Bevell, Washington's Kyle Shanahan and Houston offensive coordinator Rick Dennison.
Former coaches Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher and Tony Dungy - all Super Bowl winners - are not on Philadelphia's radar at this time.
The Eagles went to the playoffs nine times in Reid's 14 seasons, but not since 2010. They last won a playoff game in 2008.

Diner Reviews
My husband and I visited the Hula
Girl pop up on Saturday night. Although we had reservations for dinner, we only stayed for a drink after EVERY wait person in the restaurant walked by our table after we were seated and didn't acknowledge us. After flagging down a waiter, we ordered a drink from a server who didn't make eye contact at all. The drink was good, but expensive. We left after that and the hostess said thanks for coming. That was the most anyone spoke to us last night. Perhaps the food was good, but unless the service vastly improves, they should stick to being a food truck."
Dined on 3/15/2014
Crispy pork skin is phenomenal!
You can't get enough of the malasadas. I want to go back for the loco moco. Although it's a little on The pricey side, quite understandable because it's a niche market and the location is very accessible in a chic neighborhood."
Dined on 3/9/2014
If you love authentic Hawaiian
grindz or are looking for something new and different in DC, say aloha to go to Hula Girl! The loco moco and malasadas are a must!"
Dined on 3/9/2014
Hula Girl is a unique find. Get
that taste of Hawaii and pretend you are there. Screens on the wall were of surfing rather than basketball. I wish is was not just a popup in Cleveland Park."
Dined on 3/8/2014
So happy that Hula Truck got a pop
up!! Got a chance to sit down and enjoy the food I love from the food truck, but on a different scale & with a Blue Hawaiin drink! Enjoyed a few spam masubi's, kalua pork & cabbage, poke, and teriyaki steak & chicken. All delicious and great staff too!"
Dined on 3/2/2014
Get ready for the Hula Girl
storefront! Awesome drinks & food, this pop-up was everything. Certainly not fine dining, but everything exceeded expectations for brunch. Gotta get back before the hiatus!"
Dined on 3/2/2014
From Food Truck to pop-up, this is
the start of something big for Hulagirl and DC. The standard plate lunches, poke and spam musubi, is Island food done right. The cocktails also have a Hawaiian twist and are a must try. Don't forget that Hulagirl Bar and Grill is a pop-up and ends in mid March. If you miss it, you'll hace to wait for their permanent location or the next lunch stop in the District once the Hulagirl Truck gets back on the road."
Dined on 3/2/2014
It's been hard finding good
Hawaiian food in DC. As a fan of the food truck, I was excited to taste her food in a restaurant setting. It was well worth the trek. Everything we tasted was delicious. My favorite was the poke. My husband loved the chili."
Dined on 3/1/2014
Street truck turned into
neighborhood gem! We have visited the new Hula Girl restaurant a few times since her truck went out. The food is hot, fresh and delicious Hawaiian cuisine. Served in a friendly and inviting environment. Will def dine again!!"
Dined on 2/25/2014
It was extremely deceiving that
they changed Pulp to Hula Girl and did not let any patron's know this. We arrived at brunch thinking that we were going to have all you can eat tapas and all you can drink cocktails- we were very surprised and disappointed in this brunch."
Dined on 2/23/2014
I made a reservation to visit
Pulpo with a group of friends from college. I was surprised to call the day before and learn about the Hula Girl popup, but don't hesitate to try out the new chef! We had a great brunch experience, everything was delicious. One of my friends happened to be from Hawaii, and was thrilled to try some favorites from home with Hula Girl's twist. I would highly recommend the tropical mimosas and the chili!"
Dined on 2/15/2014
In between the time we made the
reservation for valentines day and the day itself, the restaurant closed, and turned the space over to a food truck. So when we showed up, they honored out "reservation" but the menu was not what we expected. It definitely was not the quality or type food we expected (it was fine bit nothing remarkable.). Very disappointed with the experience."
Dined on 2/14/2014
So I made the reservation for
Pulpo, which was confirmed online. When we got there, the restaurant, Pulpo, had closed, and a pop up Hawaiian Food Truck restaurant was there, they had my reservations, but I wasn't looking for a Hawaiian Food Truck pop up restaurant experience. The food turned out to be fine, but transparency from Open table, informing patrons of what restaurant they actually reserves a table for, would be nice."
Dined on 2/14/2014
The ownership of this
establishment is terrible. The worst I've ever encountered. If you do decide to venture to Pulpo, make sure to sit at the bar and receive some wonderful service from Hilary. Hilary's service was the only saving grace to our brunch experience."
Dined on 2/9/2014
We came in for the bottomless
brunch and our server did a fairly good job keeping our drinks refreshed. However, the food took absolutely forever to come out and was far too small and sporadic."
Dined on 2/8/2014
The best part about eating there
is that it's a reasonable pre-fixe all you can eat and drink, however when the service is poor and the waiter is neglectful/forgetful, it makes the experience not worth it. Perhaps it's because they include the tip (even when it's just two people) that he wasn't really willing to work hard. Four of our dishes never showed up and they were out of a number of items. It was also extremely slow. We were there for 3 hours, but not because we wanted to be. In any case, the French Toast was good, but the rest was very mediocre. Mimosas were good. Hostess was very nice and helpful. It may have been an off day for them because I've had friends recommend this place in the past, but I won't be going back."
Dined on 2/8/2014
don't go for brunch, it really has
gone down. better to head somewhere else and skip the deal."
Dined on 2/1/2014
I have gone there before for their
all you can eat brunch and it was great. This time, not so much. Our waitress took about 15 minutes even seeing us, then she was incapable of taking a drink order and a food order at the same time. I was a waitress all through college, this is NOT that hard. Then when we were ready to order food she stopped taking our order and said she would just bring us out a bunch of stuff to try. We immediately said this is not what we want. We didn't like some of the menu options. She took down our order but then just did what she wanted anyway. Literally we sat there for 3 hours with maybe 5 plates of food? None of it what we ordered.The kitchen was just bringing random plates to tables.I will never go there again!"
Dined on 2/1/2014
I had been to Pulpo once before in
2012 on accident after the restaurant my friend and I were looking for was closed. Honestly one of the best brunch places I have found in a long time. The atmosphere is young, hip and vibrant. Bottomless mimosas and bloody's and delicious tapas style food. I have not made it for any other occaision other than brunch unfortunately, but I am looking forward to experiencing it soon."
Dined on 1/26/2014
I am bummed to be writing this
review -- I have been to Pulpo 7-8 times and it used to be great. However, the last two times I have been (once for dinner and once for brunch) the food has been nothing better than "okay" and the service has been severely lacking. I don't think I'll be going back anytime in the near future."
Dined on 1/26/2014
food was good. I was with several
people who had food restrictions so ordering the tapas style food to share was a bit challendging since they menu was small but the sever did his best to help up with what they could modify."
Dined on 1/25/2014
Love the owner! He was so
hospitable and we felt very well taken care of, even if the rest of the service was a little slow"
Dined on 1/25/2014
Overcooked some dishes undercooked
the others. Place seemed like it was a month away from closing."
Dined on 1/24/2014
We arrived at about 6pm for dinner
on a Friday. While the place wasn't empty, there were only a few other patrons. However, it was early. Both the service and the food were very good. Please try one (or more) of the octupus dishes. The brussel sprouts with bacon were very good and the portion was large enough for two. The pork belly, scallops, and other dishes were not large enough to share, but the portions are sufficient for one. Everyone enjoyed all of the dishes we ordered. They were having a special on bottles of wine. Sadly, I could not take advantage of it because I was the only one drinking. I look forward to a return visit so that I can try the other items on the menu."
Dined on 1/24/2014
This was the worst brunch ever! We
didn't get 90% of the items ordered, my friend asked for a soda 3 times & never got it, we ordered another round of drinks which I had to get from the bar, ALL the food was cold, we watched the Chef walk out the front door to smoke and buy groceries, our potato wedges were potato salad, we asked our waiter what items were on the next table & he didn't know, we asked for items on the side and we didn't get them at all, we ordered an ahi tuna melt that was served with canned tuna and a stale piece of cheese, asked to talk to a manager & he said he was kind of the manager, Chef came out almost yelling at us when we told him the issues, every table in the restaurant was unhappy (we could hear them talking)."
Dined on 1/19/2014
I've been to Pulpo in the past and
it was delicious. This time around... Things were over salted, too saucy ( and not authentic sauce , but like sauces from a can) then the pan con tomate was absolutely HORRIBLE. It was literally white wonder bread with a can of tomato sauce on it. It was so soggy and shocking that the kitchen even served it to is. What happened?? In the past the pan con tomate was real thick crispy French bread, so I don't know if the kitchen ran out... Or if he restaurant truly thinks their pan con tomate is good? Who serves wonder bread at a restaurant and charges people??? The alcohol selection is great and the service was very good. This place has potential, but the food tastes fake."
Dined on 1/18/2014
Going here for brunch sounds like
a great idea- all you can eat and all you can drink for $25. They waitstaff kept bringing out food we didn't order and not bringing out what we actually ordered. An hour into our meal we asked again for her to bring the French toast and she told us they were all out of it... If she'd put the order in when we asked I'm sure that wouldn't have happened. Next time, I'll make sure to read the yelp reviews before I decide to go anywhere."
Dined on 1/18/2014
Another very good dining
experience at Pulpo---great selection among small plates."
Dined on 1/17/2014
Expecting to be transported back
to Barcelona for a retro dining experience, I was disappointed. For a restaurant that identifiies itself as Pulpo (Octopus), we were excited to try all three ocotpus dishes. The smoked octopus was tough (too much smoke), roasted octupus was underseasoned, and although Ithe sauted octopus was palatable, my husband did not care for at all. We also ordered "okay" mussels, shrimp, and calamari. Brownie cheesecake desert was presented as hard brownies with a dolop of some cheeselike mousse. Had early dinner reservations, and were put a a very small table by the wall, despite the fact there we plenty of unoccupied tables for four (during the entire time we stayed there). Sorry, but would never go back."
Dined on 1/14/2014
I arrived at noon for Sunday
brunch, which begins at 11. Our server was asked for coffee three times; never received it the entire meal. The menu was out of several items, only an hour into service. The Yelp reviews I read highlighted several things on the brunch menu which I never got to try because the kitchen was out of those items. Plates were brought to the table without explanation; we weren't sure what some things were, or if we had even ordered them. The food itself, what we had of it, tasted good, but it was clear that they needed another server to help and that the kitchen was just pumping out whatever food they had. Our server WAS very nice, and he apologized profusely, so I don't blame him at all (except for coffee order)."
Dined on 1/12/2014
For $25, it's not a bad brunch,
especially with bottomless mimosas! That said, I wish the food was warmer when it came out. I get that the kitchen probably just cook a little of everything and leaves it for the table service to get, given their style of "bring some of everything to your table," but it was just not fun to eat cool polenta. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to going back, as it's only $25."

Unfortunate horrible experience.
They are clearly not equipped to handle a full restaurant. Our server was also bartending and greeting, bussing tables, and seating guests. Not sufficient organization or waitstaff. After 50 minutes a dinish finally appeared (quinoa and wild rice) and the rice was completely uncooked. After that we spoke to our server and left. He was smart enough to not argue with us about the problems but it begs the question of why they even try to serve food when they are clearly not equipped. Dont bring visiting guests.. its an embarrassment. Perhaps they can handle a restaurant that is at 10% capacity on a tuesday night, but dont try a weekend."

Unfortunately the kitchen staff
walked out on the day I invited friends for bottomless brunch. Our server tried hard, but to no avail. Left feeling disappointed, especially since my first experience had been so fun."

My first time trying Pulpo and I

We were disappointed by Pulpo's
brunch options. The ahi tuna was prepared in a way that we weren't expecting (appeared more like albacore is often prepared). We found this dish as well as the rest of the brunch menu very disappointing."

We went early on NYE. Our server
was great! He was attentive, personable, funny. The food was good - as some other reviewers mentioned they didn't have 3 things on their menu. The other things were good, some great…but it was VERY expensive. We didn't order that much, had 3 drinks, and spent $50pp plus tip. Was shocked! Probably wouldn't go back because the price for what you got wasn't worth it."

Price is excellent and food is
supreme. I prefer to pick my own items then the chef just bring things, but my friend love that. Either way, we left very happy and satisfied!! Only thing I don't like is the lack of parking, but that's not their fault."
Dined on 12/29/2013
The food was sub-par. A lot of egg
based dishes, not much variety, and all came out way too fast so food cooled off when you were ready to try the next dish. I have been to many prix-fixe brunches in DC and the food didn't wow me like most. The one plus was the drink menu for bottomless included the full bar! So get your drink on here. I am glad the price was on the low end ($25) because this place did not exceed any expectations. We had a wonderful server however, whom was very fun, nice and there when we need him!"
Dined on 12/29/2013
I have been to Pulpo before and
liked it, but this time around was disappointing. The staff was friendly overall and generally brought our food in a timely manner, but when we sat down they just started bringing dishes with no explanation. and when we told them we had not ordered the food they said they just brought us food and if we wanted to order we could. We also would ask what certain dishes were and some of the servers didn't really explain or say. Honestly the quality of the food seems to have declined as well, and while I understand bringing out dishes on an all you can eat system, it might be better if they have diners order more rather than just bringing things out."
Dined on 12/29/2013
Brunch this past weekend was my
third trip up to Cleveland Park to enjoy a meal at Pulpo - and it was great! There is a reasonable set price for anything you want to eat and drink. The food: I highly recommend the hash (so good - our waiter proactively brought us an extra). The quinoa and polenta were also really good. There were a few switches (the flatbread ended up being served on an english muffin and they were out of the wheatberry salad) but our server gave us the appropriate heads up and offered other suggestions. The drinks: Our glasses were never empty while we were there. The service: The service was timely and attentive (see drinks) and our food was served with the right touch of personality."

Vatican Newspaper Gives Two Thumbs Up for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince FilmHBP Film
L'Osservatore Romano, the official newspaper of the Vatican in Rome, Italy, has given its approval and review of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film. The AP reports that the newspaper says the film is the best adaptation yet of the novels by author J.K. Rowling, and the sixth Harry Potter film "made the age-old debate over good vs. evil crystal clear." It also gave two thumbs up to the film's treatment of adolescent love,
saying it achieved the "correct balance" and made the stars more
credible to the general audience."The article continues:
While criticizing Rowling for omitting any explicit "reference to the transcendent" in her books, L'Osservatore said the latest installment nevertheless makes clear that good should overcome evil "and that sometimes this requires costs and sacrifice." "In addition, the spastic search for immortality epitomized by Voldemort is stigmatized," the review said.

Fashion to the rescue
Twinkle VanWinkle -
LIN Digital Media Entertainment Producer
The tragic earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan on March 11, 2011 has spurred people around the world to reach out many a helping hand, with donations, prayers and aid in a plethora of forms.
Those involved with fashion are using what they do best to help those in need that have been affected by the disaster—raising money by designing and creating clothing, jewelry and more.
Lady Gaga, fresh off the high of her first Paris runway show, created a bracelet with the words "We pray for Japan." The words are written in both English and Japanese with the star's trademark claw separating the two.
It's no surprise she raised $250,000 in the first 48 hours the bracelet went on sale earlier this week, which she mostly publicized through her Twitter account. Oh, the power of a tweet!
Check Twinkle's Polyvore for more ways to help Japan.
In a grand gesture, fashion house Uniqlo, operated by Fast Retailing, isn't just creating things, but literally it's president and chairman Tadashi Yanai is donating over $12 billion of his personal wealth towards Northeastern Japan relief funds with additional money coming from the company's accounts.
On a much more first world level, crafters and designers from all over are pitching in. Folks who sell their wares on the website Etsy have come together to bring their handmade items to the public, offering up hand-printed tees to buttons to jewelry—proceeds headed towards the Red Cross Japan relief fund. See more here.
Fashion at times has been thought of as a shallow art by some, and accused of creating the thought that beauty may only be skin deep. It's comforting to know that everyone can be a part of helping out mankind in their time of need- model, designer, artist, housewife or whoever.
Just a few links to some others in the fashion world who are helping:

Senator Jon Tester helps remove a controversial act, involving genetically-modified crops, from the bill passed to fund the government.
The Monsanto Act slipped into a government funding bill in March. It directed the U.S. Agriculture Department to ignore any judicial ruling that blocked the planting of genetically-modified crops.
Tester said, "I'm pleased that congress stood up for accountability and transparency and against special interests. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to make sure that this damaging provision never again makes it into law."
Tester also fought against the provision in March during the last debate on federal government funding.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — Darrius Heyward-Bey's first need was patience.
He was open Saturday night inside the Cleveland Browns' 5-yard line, but there was enough of a crowd in the vicinity to require a little extra focus. Any one of those fingers could jump out at a moment's notice and alter the flight the ball.
If he committed too early, that might cause the redirected pigskin to bounce off his own hands. And then the questions would begin again.
But the pass made it to him cleanly. He leapt and began to cradle it to his chest. At about the same time, Cleveland cornerback Joe Haden crashed into Heyward-Bey from behind and appeared to at least briefly get a hand on the ball.
No problem.
The wide receiver absorbed the blow, fought off Haden's last-ditch effort and came down with the reception at the 3-yard line.
It was just one soon-forgotten play during the second quarter of a game that didn't count. But it said a lot about the strides the fifth-year receiver has made in his first five months with the Indianapolis Colts.
He signed as a free agent in April, bringing along a reputation for dropped passes based primarily on his rookie season with the Oakland Raiders. The late Al Davis reached to draft Heyward-Bey with the seventh overall pick in 2009 — infatuated by his size (6-foot-2) and speed (4.23 seconds in the 40-yard dash) — and the Maryland product spent the next four years fighting to live up to the hype.
He caught 140 passes for 2,071 yards and 11 touchdowns in Oakland but never seemed to satisfy those lofty expectations. His Raiders career was filled with a rotating cast of quarterbacks, head coaches and offensive systems. And a lot of losses.
Oakland finished 25-39 during Heyward-Bey's tenure, and he was released in March as part of the franchise's ongoing search for salary cap relief. He said he followed his heart to Indianapolis, where he believes a rising young quarterback and history of success can help get his career back on track.
So far, so good.
With seven catches for 75 yards in his first three preseason games, Heyward-Bey slowly is erasing the doubts.
"Ever since I was about 1 year old, I've had confidence," he said Monday at the team's practice facility. "Each and every day, I just got to remind myself that I'm a good player and I can be good at what I do as long as I keep working. I got to wake up with that confidence. That's what I just got to remind myself."
Anyone who saw Heyward-Bey in training camp wouldn't think of questioning his work ethic.
He came out early before each afternoon practice — wearing a t-shirt and sporting headphones — to put in extra work on the JUGS machine. Sometimes quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen would join him, pulling at his shirt or tugging at his arms as Heyward-Bey attempted to focus on the football.
When he'd had enough reps, Heyward-Bey hopped on a golf cart to return to the locker room and get ready for practice.
Veteran teammate Reggie Wayne — a future Hall of Fame candidate — spent much of the summer raving about the receiver known by his initials as DHB. Wayne believes Heyward-Bey has the physical tools to match some of the game's top wideouts — guys like Detroit's Calvin Johnson and Houston's Andre Johnson.
But there have always been questions about Heyward-Bey's hands. They've been the asterisk to his career thus far and part of the reason he's so willing to put in so much work.
Wayne said whatever happened in Oakland can stay in Oakland, and the Colts have welcomed DHB's fresh start with open arms.
"Anybody in here would tell you he's a great teammate, great personality and he works his butt off," quarterback Andrew Luck said. "His work ethic is very impressive. I think obviously Reggie sort of sets the tone in the wide receiver meeting rooms in terms of work ethic and preparation, and DHB fits right in. I think every day we've gotten a better connection, and he's done a great job so far."
The specter of dropped passes re-emerged early on in training camp, but Heyward-Bey quickly righted the ship. He finished work at Anderson University on a good note and has carried that momentum into the exhibition games.
Though new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton has yet to unleash him on a deep route, DHB has proven to be effective on screens and intermediate passes. He's shown the toughness to fight for extra yards and even carried the ball once for 6 yards on an end-around.
There's a lot of work yet to be done before the reclamation process can be declared a success. But nobody's arguing with the early returns.
"I think his comfort level, obviously, with the quarterback and the offense and terminology helps, and then his confidence is skyrocketing," head coach Chuck Pagano said. "So it's great to see him making the progress that he is. He's got to be a big-time player for us this year."

The Kelty Cosmic Down 20 offers budget conscious campers and hikers a screaming deal of a sleeping bag. Of the 70+ bags we've tested, in all categories across down and synthetic insulation, no other bag provides as much value as the Cosmic Down 20. At 42 ounces the bag isn't particularly lightweight, nor is it made of the best materials, but it is only $100!!
This is our top choice for budget backpacking and camping. Whether you're new to the outdoors or you want to lighten up your pack, the Cosmic Down 20 is the best way to get started. See how this bag compares to others in our Backpacking Sleeping Bag Review.

OutdoorGearLab Editors' Hands-on Review
The average price of the three-season down bags we've tested is $369. Available for around $100, the Kelty Cosmic Down 20 offers entry level hikers and campers an incredible value. Although this bag is not as light, as comfortable, or as compact as top-of-the-line down bags, its price tag offers value conscious campers a great deal.
The Cosmic Down has a three-quarter length zipper, a reasonably comfortable hood, and a draft collar that drapes over your neck to seal out cold air. These features are nothing to write home about, but they're effective.
The Cosmic Down 20 uses low quality 550-fill down. Fill power measures the number of cubic inches one ounce of down displaces. The more displacement, i.e. loft, the warmer the sleeping bag. Higher fill power downs, therefore, achieve more warmth for their weight, and the finer down particles are usually more compressible and more durable, too. Lower fill powers, such as the Comic Down's 550, need to add more down to get the same amount of loft. So the Cosmic Down 20 is heavier and less compressible than its $400-$500 competitors. The lightest fully featured three-season down bag we've tested (Feathered Friends Hummingbird) weighs 17 ounces, or 40%, less than the Cosmic Down. If you do a lot of backpacking that weight savings is likely worth paying the extra cash for, but if you're like most people that go on a few backpacking trips per year, the Cosmic Down does the job well and leaves you with extra cash for other things.
The Cosmic Down 20 has less loft than other 15 and 20 degree bags (the Mountain Hardwear Phantom 15 has 16,000 cubic inches and the Cosmic Down has 11,000). This means the bag is not as warm as others. A 30 degree rating would be more accurate. Implications for you: have a good dinner, a hot drink, and thrown on another layer when the temps drop below forty.
This bag is a screaming deal for entry level campers or for people that want to lighten their load from a super heavy synthetic camping sleeping bag. Choosing the Cosmic Down over a top-of-the-line bag could save you $300, which could then be used to upgrade to a lighter tent- thereby lifting several pounds from your pack.
The Cosmic Down weighs a few ounces less than the lightest synthetic bags, which are comparably priced, but the Cosmic is a better buy (unless you expect to get soaking wet) because down is more durable and more compressible than synthetic insulation, and it's also much more comfortable. All-in-all, this is an excellent value.

Singer Tony Bennett on 9/11: 'Are We the Terrorists?'
By Matthew Sheffield | September 20, 2011 | 09:27
Singer Tony Bennett has sold over 50 million album copies but that success doesn't seem to have required much common sense or decency. In a recent interview, the veteran crooner sounded appallingly similar to controversial left-wing minister Jeremiah Wright, stating, among other things that America "caused" 9/11 to happen.
In what was supposed to be an interview about his latest music collection, Bennett took a turn far afield when he began lashing out at U.S. foreign policy, creating a grotesque moral equivalence between Al Qaeda terrorists who deliberately inflict mass civilian casualties and America: "Who are the terrorists? Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists? Two wrongs don't make a right," he said.
Bennett, who has a long history of being an outspoken supporter of liberal Democrats, made these remarks in an interview with Howard Stern, still isolated on his own channel on Sirius Radio. He stated that his service during World War II turned him into a pacifist, apparently beyond the reach of rationality:
Bennett, 65 years after leaving his military life behind, has sold over 50 million albums and developed definite opinions about other wars involving the United States.
"To start a war in Iraq was a tremendous, tremendous mistake internationally," he said.
Stern then asked Bennett about how America should deal with terrorists, specifically those responsible for the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.
"But who are the terrorists? Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists? Two wrongs don't make a right," Bennett said.
In a soft-spoken voice, the singer disagreed with Stern's premise that 9/11 terrorists' actions led to U.S. military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"They flew the plane in, but we caused it," Bennett responded. "Because we were bombing them and they told us to stop."
In the interview, Bennett also recounted what he said was a conversation he'd had with George W. Bush during which the former president supposedly said that he'd "made a mistake" by invading Iraq.
If Tony Bennett reports it, it's got to be true! When is he going to get his own MSNBC show?!

Submitted by lrgon on Tue, 09/20/2011 - 1:04pm.
Entertainers are also actors.One of those Hollywood actors became US president Ronald Reagan. RR pulled US troops out of the middle east after a terror attack on a marine barracks killed hundreds of US troops stationed in Beirut,Lebanon.
Bennett told Elvis Costello that singing for him means singing love songs and that protest songs don't appeal to him. However, in a political setting or at home or on a plane or riding a trolly in San Fran, he is still entilted to his opinion.
Beirut and the reasons leading up to it
Middle east expert Robert Fisk, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Fisk
A major motivation for the Beirut bombing was the ill will generated by the Multinational Force (MNF) among Lebanese Muslims, especially Shiʿa living in the slums of West Beirut and around the airport where the Marines were headquartered, as they saw the MNF siding with the Maronite Catholics in their domination of Lebanon.
"Muslim feelings against the American presence were "exacerbated when missiles lobbed by the U.S. Sixth Fleet hit innocent by-standers in the Druze-dominated Shuf mountains."
Col. Timothy J. Geraghty, the commander of the Marines in Beirut during the incident, has said: "..the United States provided direct naval gunfire support -- which I strongly opposed for a week -- to the Lebanese Army at a mountain village called Suq-al-Garb on September 19 and that the French conducted an air strike on September 23 in the Bekaa Valley. American support removed any lingering doubts of our neutrality, and I stated to my staff at the time that we were going to pay in blood for this decision.'"
According to this Wikipedia article : "Some analysts believe the Islamic Republic of Iran was heavily involved and that a major factor leading it to participate in the attacks on the barracks was America's support for Iraq in the Iran Iraq War and its extending of $2.5 billion in trade credit to Iraq while halting the shipments of arms to Iran."
Bennett's views on this issue is not that far removed from the premise offered by Colonel Timothy Geraghty.
That does not excuse nor justify the attacks on the Barracks, the USS Cole, WTC 1993 and 9-11. But Bennett posits that we've bee nover there bombing their people for years and eventually there are repercussions. Or as Col.Geraghty said: "we'll pay with blood."

Well, I agree that sometimes the Republicans do sound logical and this statement by Senator Jasmes Inhofe gives me hope that Obama's wars will lose more kool-aid drinkers since a recent stament by the senator from Oklahoma called Obama's UN- backed campaign "a reign of terror." Wow, a GOP senator saying the US is part of a "terror' reign!
But not ot worry Kool-aiders wars are a safe bet for years to come!
Take the Ivory Coast Coast.
Obama gave a speech at the UN "peace organization." Among the examples of military interventions listed in Obama's UN speech was the violent overthrow of Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo. "The world refused to look the other way," Obama declared, mistakenly claiming that Gbagbo had lost the election. "The Security Council, led by the United States, Nigeria, and France, came together to support the will of the people."
The war lover was wrong as usual. It was vote fraud and ballot-box stuffing that stung the elctorate so strongly that the nation's Constitutional Council declared incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo the election winner.
Obama, just like another Bushie, decided to invade. Partnering with local Muslim militias, international forces dropped bombs and marched to the capital to arrest President Gbagbo, a Christian. In the wake of the UN invasion lay the slaughterd and raped. Thousands of Christians were sacrificed for UN peace and the war on terror! Yes it was brave of Senator Inhofe to call it a "a reign of terror." But why get on Tony's case for making a clear observation?
You koolaid war drinkers should be happy that the international coalition has installed a Muslim central banker named Alassane Ouattara as the Ivory Coast's new ruler.
Soldiers in uniform sickof the Koolaid
A recent poll shows U.S. troops are quickly losing confidence in the President and his strategy. Less than a quarter of those surveyed supported his illegal intervention in Libya.
Will you still drive around in your cars with those "support our troops" stickers when a majority of troops support Ron Paul's non intervention platform?
Why shouldn't US troops tire of the scam when they learn how their fellow soldiers are being missused
Partnering with local Muslim militias, international forces dropped bombs and marched to the capital to arrest President Gbagbo, a Christian — slaughtering and raping tens of thousands of Christians along the way. U.S. Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma called the UN- and Obama-backed campaign "a reign of terror."

Freedom of speech is part of the Constitution even in time of war or undeclared war.
Instead of lashing out against an 80 year old man, why don't you get mad at the interventionist polices of the Bush and Obama administrations that fund terror sponsoring nations with foreign aid that benefits al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the Palestinian Union.
Few Americans are aware that US foreign aid goes to the PA, the politcal heir of the PLO.
U.S.-trained terrorists of the PLO's (Palestine Liberation Organization) notorious al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades killed American Daniel Wultz. The Brigades, which are formally listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department, have carried out numerous suicide bombings, car bombings, shootings, and rocket attacks. Nevertheless, they are a major military arm of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' PLO/Fatah organization. As such, they share in the hundreds of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars that annually are showered on the Abbas-led Palestinian regime.

Just ask them...
What would this world look like if the United States did not exist from 1941-1991?
Answer - EVERYTHING good and decent in this world after 1941 is the direct and sole result of the United States existence: its generosity, courage, Christ centered values, industrial & military power, sacrifice, philanthropy, culture and shining, and I mean shining and unequaled example of freedom. Without the United States, freedom would not exist, poverty would be universal & genocide/infanticide would be the norm. The worst of it would be the permenant political ruling class, which we need to reign in here at home.

But waitaminute now... Mr. Bennett... THINK for a minute what would have happened to YOUR America if you HADN'T fought that war against Germany during WWII.
My point, Mr. Bennett is this: As gruesome and terrible war is, sometimes wars MUST be fought -- for the PRESERVATION of LIFE and the innocent by fighting AGAINST TYRANNY, or do you believe that WWII was a completely unnecessary war to fight.
You see how the liberal strategy works. Wrap the cause (anti-war) with a universally accepted value (killing is bad) to push their agenda. Who is going to argue against the notion that 'killing is bad'? Makes anybody who does look like some kind of a psychopath. That's how liberals managed all these years to successfully push their agenda.

#37 Was Germany bombing us prior to our entry in WWII?
Submitted by lrgon on Tue, 09/20/2011 - 2:02pm.
Japan, Germany's treaty partner, sneak attacked us and the congress officially declared war on not only Japan but their partners Germany and Italy.
The Japanese plot was well known by FDR. FDR allowed the Japanese Navy to steam to Pearl Harbor without giving warning to the fleet commanders at PH that the Japanese code had been broken by military intelligence and that the Japanese plans were nailed down even to the exact date of the attack. FDR needed the emotional support of Americans (American polls showed US citizens in the majority opposed to America entering another war) and this politician needed an excuse to enter a war with germany mainly to save Stalin's hide from Germany.
Most polls I've seen show Americans are war weary and want this war to end and the troops to come home. Are you suggesting that Americans that oppose this unconstitutional action in the middle east are unpatriotic? Those that wanted to nail Roosevelt's hide for his New Deal wrecking of the American economy were forced into silence by FDR's sneaky and evil ways of using a war to hide his damage at home andto feed his insatiable appetite to help communists. so you see politicans use war for their purposes not to save our way of life. But once war starts it's extremely difficult to get past the emotion of those who won't see or refuse to see that war is not necessarily the right course of action. But even FDR asked congress for a declaration of war. Show me the official declaration of war issued by congress stating the reasons for war with Iraq and Libya.
Get the terrorist by using your head. We lost our head in the "missions" in Iraq and Libya and Afghanistan by using an entire army to catch a few al-Qaeda terrorist reponsible for 9-11. Our "mission" there is tantamount to using a 150 millimeter howitzer to kill a fly in your living room.
The terrorist that hit the WTC in 93 were captured and are now serving time in jail. Mind you they should have been executed but the point being that they did not get away with the bombing and the killing and injuries to our citizens.
A simple Constitutionally legal action of Letters of Marque stating to the Muslim world that we will catch the 9-11 terrorist and plotters would have served justice. In 93 the Terorist Ramzi Yousef was handed over to us where he was hiding in Islamabad. We caught the "blind sheikh" and the others involved. But the funny thing is that we send foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority who in turn assist terrorists.

#41 The final secret of neocons is the lust in support of liberal
Submitted by lrgon on Wed, 09/21/2011 - 5:34pm.
icons like FDR - icons that get the nation into needless wars.
This Accuracy In Media report in defense of Admiral Kimmel, commander of the fleet at Pearl Harbor in 1941 gives a good overview of the FDR treachery:http://www.aim.org/aim-report/aim-report-bush-must-rectify-pearl-harbor-smear/
Navy man and war hero, Robert Stinnett poured over reams of Government unclalssified files and the facts he found point to FDR having prior knowledge. His book Day of Deceit; the Truth about FDR and Pearl Harbor is not debunkable by historians.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_Deceit
All the FDR appologists can do is spit insults at anyone that dares question the motives of an FDR or a Bush or Obama.
Silly commentaries from the peanut gallery don't do much to challenge the truth however.
The Japanese military codes and the diplomatic codes had been broken by American code breakers. They knew an attack was imminent and the winds of war would strike on a Sunday, December 7th and even the hour was known! (refer to Accuracy In Media link above)
General George Marshall had the "intell" but he sent a vaguely written message via the civilan telegram stating "you will be attacked. " There were no details! Instead of sending an immediate warning to the commanders at Pearl via direct line to the Island's commanders he chose to send the warning via the civilian telegraph system. The note was being read by Admiral Kimmel as the island was being bombed!
Midway was a decisive victory for the USA . No doubt Japan's navy suffered such losses that they were sending out feelers to the allies to come to a peace settlement but FDR and his gang ignored Japan's hints at ending the war. They wanted to extend the war as much as possible.

#43 Irgon...You are wrong
Submitted by Jer on Wed, 09/21/2011 - 7:29pm.
You claim the Japanese military code was broken prior to Pearl Harbor. You are wrong. The diplomatic "Purple" code had been broken, not the military code. There was no advance knowledge of a Japanese attack on Pearl, and, at the time, it was assumed the Japanese lacked the logistical capacity to launch a suprise carrier-based strike against our naval base at Oahu. US Intelligence services did know that an attack was likely but believed Manila was the more probable target.
You claim that AIM details FDR's "treachery". You are wrong. It defends Kimmel, but it primarily blames J. Edgar Hoover, Captain Kelly Turner, and to a lesser extent, Marshall and General Stark.
You claim that after the loss at Midway barely six months into the war, the Japanese were ready to throw in the towel and sought terms for peace with the US, which were rebuffed by FDR and his gang of war mongers. Proof, please.
You claim Stinnett's book is not debunkable. That is highly debatable. His accusations and theories have been vigorously challenged by credentialed historians intimately familiar with the events at issue.

#48 The word war wasn't used.
Submitted by Bhaal on Wed, 09/21/2011 - 11:18am.
The congress did give the nod for the Iraq conflict and even though they didn't use the word war, the intent was the same and was clearly defined that war is what was going to happen.
1. a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air.
2. a state or period of armed hostility or active military operations: The two nations were at war with each other.
3. active hostility or contention; conflict; contest: a war of words.
Iraq Resolution
10/11/2002--Passed Senate without amendment. Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 - Expresses support for the President's efforts to: (1) strictly enforce through the United Nations Security Council all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq; and (2) obtain prompt and decisive action by the Security Council to ensure that Iraq abandons its strategy of delay, evasion, and noncompliance and promptly and strictly complies with all relevant Security Council resolutions.
"Authorizes the President to use the U.S. armed forces to:"
(1) defend U.S. national security against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and (2) enforce all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq. Directs the President, prior to or as soon as possible (but no later than 48 hours) after exercising such authority, to make available to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate his determination that: (1) reliance on further diplomatic or peaceful means alone will not achieve the above purposes; and (2) acting pursuant to this joint resolution is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
"Declares that this section is intended to constitute specific statutory authorization for use of the armed forces, consistent with requirements of the War Powers Resolution."
Requires the President to report to Congress at least every 60 days on matters relevant to this resolution.

You do tend to twist facts to suit your purposes, but the statement, "Japan, Germany's treaty partner, sneak attacked us and the congress officially declared war on not only Japan but their partners Germany and Italy" just can't go without being refuted, quite easily too. See here. However, knowing you and your past history of not seeing anything you don't want to see, and your apparent inability to click on a link, here's the money quote, "That the state of war between the United States and the Imperial Government of Japan which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared;". It's dated December 8, 1941, at 4:10pm.

The original introductory verse to I Left My Heart in San Francisco
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay;
the glory that was Rome is of another day.
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan;
I'm going home to my city by the bay.
Revised version of the verse:
The ugliness of the "neocons" seems somehow sad and gray;
aggressive war is good; to heck with Tony Bennett's way.
We've been terribly misunderstood in the wake of 9 eleven,
"troops home by Christmas? Not a chance in hell or heaven!"
Revised refrain
I left my heart on "neocon'" patri-idiot shows
low on the cerebral meter listen to them squawk.
But to be where neo con verbalizations
fly halfway to the constellations!
Their hours and hours of foggy wit
fill the air
but I don't care!
My heart pounds loud between commercials
to hear them shout I can almost see:
their veins bulging at their necks
the applause- o- -meter pegging great
Hey, give that singer a big bow
for telling it like it really is now
"they hate us for dropping big ol' bombs."

show this past Tuesday. The praise certainly caught me by surprise, for as Matthew has indicated, Rush has expressed his disdain for BOR (Ted Baxter) for some time. But not on Tuesday's show. Rush was discussing Obama's lies regarding the tax rate paid by the "rich". Here are portions of what Rush said about BOR:
The, quote, unquote, rich are starting to fight back and defend themselves. I have to be honest with you. Last night Ted Baxter was superb on this. Ted Baxter had one of the best shows that he's ever had. And then Hannity came on, and then Greta, and everybody I watched, other than, of course, MSNBC, even CNN was getting this right. It's like when I say, show prep for the rest of the media. [....]
And, folks, I think it's an important thing that Bill O'Reilly got it right, because as everybody knows, he has more power than anybody other than the president, and he was great on this last night. And, frankly, it's heartwarming to see. [...]
I don't feel like a lone wolf anymore. I don't feel like a lone voice because the whole point of all this is to defeat it, the whole point is to see to it that people are educated and informed and understand exactly what a total joke Obama has become, how meaningless his remarks yesterday were, how destructive, if implemented, they are. And more and more people are seeing it, and more and more people are willing to say so. I mean even O'Reilly last night was admitting that he was rich. When I said it's a shame the rich aren't fighting back, the rich were fighting back. O'Reilly was admitting being rich and he was putting in context of what all he pays and how much it's gonna cost him and what's fair and everything, and I was clapping.
Personally, I don't watch Bill O'Reilly much. He has a habit of interrupting his guests, so he (O'Reilly) can put forth his own opinion. Moreover he bloviates too much. To describe him as pompous doesn't do him justice.

Jesus said, "I assure you that if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Go from here to there,' and it will go. There will be nothing that you can't do."

Can you imagine being there? And it wasn't just the miracles; it was the message. The disciples were reaching so many different people in so many different languages. And the message, they had changed lives. Three thousand ...
Now faith, hope and love remain - these three things - and the greatest of these is love.
