I bet you would be mad too and want out
that. I started working for my present company in 2004 as a temp, just helping out wherever they needed it. Within 6 months, they saw something in me and gave me a promotion / raise. They then trained me on the job for bigger and better things. Since then, I've had one more raise, but I did some research and found that someone else in my position could be making a hell of a lot more (hmm, this starting to sound like someone else.) The differences are 1. I'm not making millions (although I make more than a decent living) and 2. I'm grateful for the opportunities I've been given, and am not planning on holding them to the fire for another 30% raise, though I could easily get it if I went to another company.

Per Rotoworld, $3,000,000 this season.
I'm not sure that's accurate. 1.5 million is listed as the prorated portion of his signing bonus. 1 mil in salary, and 500,000 for a roster bonus. So we save 1.5 mil if we trade him in actual cash.

I agree so what if they miss those games there are still 6 others to chose from. It will suck though for Jewish season ticket holders
The only ticket holders in NYC are season ticket holders. There are no individual game tickets available, except for buying from a broker or individual season ticket holder. Still I think it's kind of stupid to be complaining about it. If you're truly devoted to your religion, you shouldn't be concerned with a religious holiday coinciding with a football game. If you're not devoted to your religion, put a sock in it.

seems awful sudden.....most people who reach this level of success dont walk away.....i wonder if there is a health issue he is keeping quiet on.....anyways, best of luck to him.
Yeah, but most people who reach this level of success also fly, which reduces the strain on family life. Madden doesn't fly, and having to travel by bus each week to every game means that he wasn't home for pretty much 17 straight weeks every year.

He's a Free Agent, he didn't retire. If he felt he was done, he'd have retired by now. He'll want to go to a team close to Philly, though, so that rules out teams like Jacksonville, KC, and Oakland. The Eagles are going to move up to get an O-Line player (see: Runyan, Tra Thomas, Shawn Andrews injury) or RB.
They might as well throw Runyan into the deal for our #11 or Peters. For Peters, we want Runyan, their #21 and #28, and we'll give them a swap of 4ths.
I think you were being sarcastic, but how exactly do you include a free agent in a trade?
-
This post started before the internet.
I'm pretty sure it also started before voluntary workouts.

I agree if Peters wants to price himself out then trade him if you can get a first and additional fist day pick. I disagree with the posts stating Demetrius Bell should be a starter, the guy was on the practice squad last year. If Peters is gone we should take one of the OT's in the draft this year-Maybe Eben Britton to compete with Chambers. Chambers played better at OT than OG last year. We would still need to take an OG/C the first day and I'm opimistic that we can find one throught the draft that would be a better starter than Bell.
Peters was on the practice squad in his first year and took over the RT spot in his second.

I wonder if he's counting last year's debacle where he single-handedly robbed us of any momentum in the New England game as a victory, since we had a chance to win it if he hadn't been around? Actually we probably would have found a way to lose it anyway, but I'm not sure where else he's getting that NE victory from.
I don't have a problem with guys who leave the Bills telling it like it is (I happen to be a big fan of Ross Tucker's column, and on a few occasions he's shared some dirt on the Bills.) But to criticize your former team for their lack of competiveness when it took you four years to crack the starting lineup, and then only due to complete incompetence by the incumbent starter? That's just ridiculous.
I also realize that this is mostly just a PR move by Preston, guys always spout this kind of stuff about how they're happy to join their new team, about how much more competitve they're going to be, etc....
-
Peters would be a !@#$ing idiot to hold out again.
Like the kind of idiot that leaves College early for the draft, then goes undrafted? Sounds about right if you ask me.
-
Get on the love train gentlemen, cause it's coming.
1. Go
yourself.But to make it even more interesting, here's some particular's:- We have offered a 4th and a 6th rounder for 1 year of service or a 2nd rounder for 3 years of service.
- and there are 2 more teams fighting for him as well, for now.
2. How could they set the conditions you've mentioned which specify the years of service. Is KC going to wait 3 years to get their draft picks?
-
How about Tone or Toni?
I was hoping that's what this thread would be about.
-
It's actually really sad. The guys gonna be in major debt for most of his life.
He'll probably be in prison for most of it anyway. I'd say that his debt is the least of his worries.
-
I might be wrong, but I think the comp picks for the players we signed and lost this off season will be awarded at next years draft. I think these ones are for the offseason before the 2008 season. Otherwise we would get about a dozen, since we lost Losman this season (just kidding!).
Did you read his post? That's exactly what he was saying.
-
Fixed. There is no practical way they can determine who can and who cannot receive DirecTV, unless they want to send people out to individual homes for site surveys. That to me says that they worded the press release in a poor way, and that anyone who wants it will be able to receive it online.
Actually, they pretty much already use the same language on getting a refund when you buy DirecTV equipment / service. The practical way to determine if you can't get service is to try and buy it. Someone comes to your house to hook it up, and if they're unable to get signal, you'll get some paperwork which says so.
I'm pretty sure they're not going to be selling Sunday Ticket to anyone unless you've tried, and been unable to get normal DirecTV service.

Mark my words: 31-3

TO+Evans>Moss+Galloway
But
TO+Evans+Reed (or whoever) < Moss+Galloway+Welker

Since the Lions can negotiate with anyone, I wonder if they might be tempted to take a player not-rated in the Top 5, and pay him like he was the 5th pick or something. If they want a tackle, maybe go after Michael Oher, who's projected in the 10-20 range, and give him a deal worth much less than the #1 pick, but more than the #6 pick.
Do you think his agent would let him do that? His other option would be to keep dropping.
If the lions decided they want a guy they could get in the 10-20 range (and if that's all they're willing to pay); they'd be much better served to trade down, and get something of value. In general, guys get paid based on where they're picked, not where they would have been picked.
-
don't think we will sign anyone since its been how long since they came.
they haven't been visiting anymore teams, does that mean they're not going to sign at all?
they'll eventually sign with one of the teams they visited, but it may not happen until after the draft.

Cook wasn't in Buffalo, and there is nothing linking Scheffler to us. The rumor is pure BS at this time.
I'm not saying he was or wasn't in Buffalo, but I think you stating it as a fact like that is BS. I read the link in your other thread; what it says is that his secretary said he wasn't in Buffalo. Since neither Scheffler nor Cutler have permission to seek a trade on their own, this makes sense. If he or his secretary confirmed his presence in Buffalao, it could get him (and the Bills) in hot water.

It's not hard to throw for 4000+ yards when you throw 40 times a game.
No but being the QB of the 2nd best offense in the league is pretty good as well.
-
You have to stay until the end of day 2 to get your tickets for next year.
This is definitely the case.
-
Um, the only person making an issue is you...Hardy knew BEFORE T.O. went into the locker room and saw his jersey there with 81 on it...gawd, some people just want to make a story out of nothing...Hardy could care less about the number, he said he only chose it because Moss was #81...
LAME...
LAME...

I went back in 2002 (picking Mike Williams #4 felt so good), back when it was in the MSG theatre, and can provide some pointers, although some things may have changed.
* I am under the impression that tickets are first come first serve unless you have received tickets from attending the year before.
Correct
* Can anyone tell me what time I should show up in line? My flight gets in Friday night around 7ish. Was anyone there last year that can tell me what time ppl started to show up in line?
I would show up as eary as possible Saturday morning. I showed up at about 7:00 Saturday morning, and was towards the end of the folks that they let in. There were definitely lots of people who had come right from the bars when they closed at 4. Not sure if it will be different now that they don't begin until 12.
* Will they come out at any point at night and hand out tickets so that you dont wait outside all night?
* What time do they pass out tickets?
We got tickets at about 11:00 if I remember correctly, but back then the draft began at noon.
* I know the draft starts at 3pm, so will you be able to leave and come back before it starts after you receive your tickets?
Don't know, sorry.
* How is the seating arrangement once you enter? Do you just pick you seats? are there designated areas for certain teams fans?
Back then, you could sit wherever you wanted.
* How long will the first day last?
I'm not sure if anyone really knows the answer to this, since the schedule and timing have changed.
* If I decide to go to the 2nd day of the draft what time does that start? What time do they offer the tickets for the next years draft so you dont have to wait in line?
Don't know what time the second day starts, but the tickets for next years draft aren't available until the very end of the second day (they offer them as an incentive to the faithful who stick around all day long.)
I've been thinking about attending again this year, but honestly it is a little like watching paint dry, unless it's drastically changed (and that year we picked 4th, so only had to wait an hour for the first pick, and about 6 hours til the second pick.) It's actually a little more exciting watching it on TV, where at least you get the benefit of the commentary from Berman, Kiper and crew.
Good luck.

I love the penetration this guy gets, but did anyone else notice how may tackles he missed? Which means he would fit in perfectly in Buffalo. Classic Bills Tackling.
Steeler Source says trade for Bills wide receiver Parrish
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
I agree that Parrish has been a top return man for us, but it's also worth mentioning that pretty much all of our returners since 2004 have done very well. For example, last year, Fred Jackson's avg gain per punt return was 1 yard better than Parrish. I think it's a credit to our Special Teams coaching / blocking, and I'd be surprised if you see a big drop off with McKelvin or someone else back there this year.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/teams/stats?team=buf#return
As a WR, for whatever reason, they just don't seem to be getting him the ball enough for him to really make a difference on offense, whether that's coaching, or his inability to get open I don't know.
Also, remember he had a DUI last year, maybe the Bills are concerned that he hasn't made enough of a lifestyle change and are worried about losing him to a suspension. (Pure speculation on my part, but given the current environment, it wouldn't surprise me.)
