  1. I agree. Joel Stein of Time wrote a column recently on this type of behavior. Its pretty funny. My favorite part is Matt Lauer's comment on the Supreme Court and Stein's response: "Here's how the current bench will look. Five of the current Justices will be graduates of Harvard Law School. Three will be graduates of Yale Law School. Another will have gone to Yale Law School but graduated from Columbia ... Doesn't it sound a little elitist to you?" Undoubtedly, spell-check sounds a little elitist to you when an hour of your news program is anchored by Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford. I had assumed the Supreme Court was one of the places that needed to be elitist. Being a Supreme Court Justice isn't like being a community-college student or a Huffington Post columnist. The court is one of the few institutions in which people have to do some elite thinking. Have you ever read the Constitution? Of course you haven't: it's boring as hell. It's for nerds. It contains sentences like "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed." Now try to use that sentence to explain why gays should or shouldn't get married. You can see why you'd have to go to Yale Law for this. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2010191,00.html
  2. Regarding a team in LA, Peter King says: As for the team to play there, the obvious candidates are San Diego (likely the favorite, unless a stadium gets built there, which appears increasingly unlikely) or Oakland. I'd say San Diego's more likely, but this thing has a couple of years to play out. Always good news, even if it is speculation. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/11/14/monday-morning-qb-week-10/1.html
  3. Can anyone actually say how much guaranteed money he actually gets out of the deal? I'm under the impression that none of it is. I could have sworn some reporter out there said the Bills can basically cut him during any training camp the next 2-3 years and the Bills don't owe him a cent.
  4. How do you have any idea what i was thinking? Are you sitting here next to me?
  5. Probably a good amount. He is the Assistant General Manager after all.
  6. We've heard this before. I think we're heading in the right direction but morals don't matter in football. Character does not matter in football. Football character does.
  7. I believe it is actually spelled: U-P-G-R-A-Y-E-D-D Two D's for a double dose of pimpin http://www.upgrayedd.com/
  8. Regariding position advantage rankings, are they ranking DBs vs. DBs, so are they measuring our DBs vs their WRs? If so they're saying Marshall is gonna burn our secondary.
  9. Not true. Teams have a chance to "opt out" of the revenue sharing regarding Jerseys. Since Oakland and Dallas have high selling jerseys, they both opted out of the program, even though Oakland still gets all the other revenue sharing.

  11. Everyone was under the assumption that Levitre was as good as Wood last year. From the game play that just wasn't the case. He is a rookie. Hopefully he'll get better but there are no guarantees in this game. I was a bit suprised when everyone was shrugging off the idea of taking a guard in the draft just because "we've got two 'good' ones." We will see.
  12. Al Davis born 1929 - I doubt it. Al will hold on til the reaper Bill Bidwell born 1931 - No way. keep in family Virginia McCaskey born 1923 - Possibly Jerry Jones born 1942 - No way. Keep in family Pat Bowlen born 1944 - Very distinct possibility William Clay Ford, Sr. born 1924 - No way. Keep in family Tom Benson born 1927 - Possibly John Mara born 1954 - No way. Keep in family Steve Tisch born 1949 - No way. Keep in family Alex Spanos born 1923 - Very possible Bud Adams born 1923 - Same as Big Al. My gut goes with the Chargers. Spanos is old and didn't isn't his trucking company doing crappy? Also I believe the family announced not too long ago his health is declining.
  13. Have all the issues been ironed out with the Rams? Couldn't find any definitive articles if Kroenke actually buying them. I know he already owns a 40% share.
  14. Thanks for your educated contribution to this board.
  15. I always think its amazing how an injury early in a players career can affect or stunt the growth of a player so much. Obviously those first few years (and offseasons, OTAs, training camps, ect) are so integral. But how many players have we heard had an injury in their first or second years and make a Pro Bowl at some point? I can't think of any. They either get labeled injury prone or just fall too far behind to get carried on a roster anymore with potential alone. Thats what scares me about Hardy and McKelvin (not saying their careers are over whatsoever). Let's hope they can break that mold. But back to that question: Do you guys know of any players that have been injured their first or second years that rebounded into solid/stud players later on? The only person I can think of is McGahee...but obviously thats a strange case since it happened before he ever played a down.
  16. Per Tim Graham: Wake narrowed his choices to four teams, including the Buffalo Bills, before choosing the Dolphins. "Buffalo really put a great package together," Sheehy [Wake's Agent] said. "They did a wonderful job recruiting him." http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3844396 Don't know about financially but we definitely put the press on if you believe his agent.
  17. If I recall correctly NFL types were saying Buffalo actually gave him the best offer financially. He probably thought Miami offered a better chance.
