I love in Woodside (next to Palo Alto). And you know who is in the middle of building a house here? Alex Smith. I actually ran into him at the Roberts Market here in Woodside maybe 18 months ago. He couldn't have been nicer -- he clearly knew the folks that worked there, and took the time for pictures, and to chat. Total class act. I was actually behind him in line, and he was profusely apologetic for holding me up.

I do hope we see Alex Unchained one of these days. Seeing some of his games for the Chiefs, in particular, I do not doubt his arm strength or accuracy on the deep ball. But he had a real rapport with those receivers.

It's been hard to do that with the Skins -- PRich has been hurt (and is now on IR), as has Crowder (missed 5 games). And Doctson doesn't get a lot of separation, and Smith is not one to throw a lot of 50-50 balls (hence, his low INT rate). So it's a very different situation than he had in KC.

I am surprised he doesn't have a better rapport with Reed, though. Reed hasn't really taken over any games, and I expected to see that. Same could be said for Vernon Davis.

Here's to hoping he stops the Texans DBs this weekend.

I used to live by St. Pius Church and run at Edgewood Park and Canada Road, loved Woodside.

We can start booting guys if that would make things more exciting for you...

It’s probably not a good idea to advertise you were booted somewhere else, right off the bat that makes me wonder

[Chico23231]

"Boy this place is refreshing"...wasn't that a thread once for the booted?

[NorCall11]

i was booted for abbreviating cuss words. you guys allow us to speak freely! wonder no more.

Dude, I did the same thing.....and I also said someone was slow....

I was banned also from xtreme... worst sports site of all time! This place is cool .. can be testy on game day thread😀

Doesn't sound very extreme, barring everyone. I don't think extreme means what they think it means. I've never posted there. I was lucky I found the Warpath 1st. This site is the bees knees (minus political threads where a bunch of people besides me are wrong lol).

[NorCall11]

the last reason they gave me for my ban was because i said im sick of all these fantasy football retards ruining the game. retard is a bad word in todays america.

I was banned from extremeskins back in 2009 when they had the great member purging. Hundreds of accounts were banned. Some of the other posters here joined me here after the ban. I do know for a time that the boards were censored. Not sure about today, i have no interest in ever going back there, i don't even browse their threads.

It happened on the anniversary of Joey T’s leg injury.

Very scary indeed. Alex now needs thoughts and prayers, this is definitely career-threatening if not career-ending.

I was too young to see Joe. T break his leg on live TV but i was sitting there watching it live today, and it was absolutely gruesome and every bit as horrible as you would imagine it to be for those who didn't see it when it happened today.

Come on, man, it's human to feel bad for ANYONE whose leg is snapped like that, especially if it threatens his career.
