For all the humor, I agree with your overall assesment, although, I would give Hakeem another 1/2 cow, as he is the key IMHO for us to do anything this year. DaDakota ------------------ All you MO-FO's better stop ripping off my lines !!
Did you notice how Francis's cows have halos? He's our savior afterall. I'd give Dream halos, too, but you know how he likes to remain humble.

HeyP, you don't have those guys with butterfly nets chasing you around, do you? What is the scale? 5 bovine? If so, then I think you've got Cuttino and Walt ranked about half an udder too high, and Moochie a full cow too low. ------------------ Clutch Goons, Inc.
Yes, it is a 5 cow scale. I udderly disagree Keeley. Mobley is within 1 cow of Francis. Maybe you just don't appreciate how difficult it is to get that final cow, in my book. Maybe you're like tucows.com who just gives away the 5th cow too much, but not me. I don't inflate my cows. They are steroid FREE!
Cuttino gets within a cow and a sickly mad cow. Saying that he's within a full cow of Francis is a cowp out. A cowsmic insult to Stevie, I say. Mancow blows. Sampson was a coward. Sam Cowart is one hell of a linebacker. Harry Caray was a "Holy Cow!" guy. Never been to Cowdenbeath. I cower beneath my desk at the mere mention of Klein HS. AC Cowlings is OJ's friend.

Cows? This is udder bull%@*!. You've milked this joke dry. Where's the beef in this topic? Let's moooooooove on please. I'm sorry I even bothered to skim over this thread. Uh, I'm horny.

HP you forgot someone else Rudy and I don't agree with your Taylor assessment i think it's more like and Mobes is more like 5 of these ------------------ Discombobulation Imminent [This message has been edited by SmeggySmeg (edited September 07, 2000).] [This message has been edited by SmeggySmeg (edited September 07, 2000).]
Smeggy, I love your work. You bring up a very important point. Your graphical measurement of Mobley's contribution leads me to wonder if you think he spins too much sometimes. With your logic, I could see Mobley dribbling the ball away spinning like that, especially if you expect him to try to live up to the demands of 5 spinning cows. I mean, doesn't he alread spin enough? [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited September 08, 2000).]
I'm sure players bouncing bals off their udders will draw the crowds HP. No, HP i put the spinning cow in to represent the deep seated resentment some members of the Cat club have to mobley's loose play. Personally i just say let him play cause he can score with the best of them, and will learn to make improved decision as he goes along. Smeg What about Kenny i think he will be real important and i give him 3 and a hlaf of these or 4 of these ------------------ Discombobulation Imminent
Hey look Smeg, it's Mobley trying to play defense and getting spun senseless!! ------------------ Falk that Mo Fo!!!
Francis comes flying in for a dunk, but then he sees that Cato is blocking the paint. [This message has been edited by Det The Threat (edited September 07, 2000).]
