Nervous Guy

nope...you just don't fall into the groupthink trap. "During groupthink, members of the group avoid promoting viewpoints outside the comfort zone of consensus thinking. A variety of motives for this may exist such as a desire to avoid being seen as foolish, or a desire to avoid embarrassing or angering other members of the group. Groupthink may cause groups to make hasty, irrational decisions, where individual doubts are set aside, for fear of upsetting the group’s balance."

That's the difference between a high school grad and a college grad's lifetime earning potential. "The report titled "The Big Payoff: Educational Attainment and Synthetic Estimates of Work-Life Earnings" (.pdf) reveals that over an adult's working life, high school graduates can expect, on average, to earn $1.2 million; those with a bachelor's degree, $2.1 million; and people with a master's degree, $2.5 million." http://usgovinfo.abo...andearnings.htm So these student athletes are (potentially) getting $900,000+tuition+room+board. And that's not good enough?"

you know someone recently told me that financial aid is responsible for this and I couldn't believe it...I guess I was uninformed... ..."an increase in need-based aid resulted in higher tuition and fees at both public and private institutions in the state. Public colleges also lowered their average institutional-aid awards, while there was no change at private colleges." Link

Would you consider taking a QB with this college resume? Statistics Passing Rushing YEAR CMP ATT CMP% YDS TD INT ATT YDS TD xxxx 90 153 58.8 1840 12 5 110 580 8 xxxx 97 179 54.2 1439 9 7 113 636 9 Any idea who this is?

Jerry Sullivan's self of steam must be very low.

Don't let these maroons get you down 99999...actually I found your wit very amusing, using "self of steam" to indicate the ephemeral nature of Maybin's career...well done!

I told Santa who's been naughty and who's been nice. He will act accordingly. Merry Christmas youse bastards.

acid yes, mushrooms no. Have you considered just a good long fast?

What don't you just drop some acid or try some shrooms??? Trust me you'll address all the above.

So, do you actually like Sully or are you just ragging on posters who rag on him??? I can understand the latter, but the former really concerns me.

I have no affection or dislike of a definition. I don't care for sports columnists, they are inflammatory for the sake of a buck, kinda like a whore with an STD. If I want to read opinions on what is wrong (or right) with the Bills I'd rather read it here, there are more than a few posters here who could do a much better job than Sully...just my opinion.

I could care less if he praises the Bills or bashes them...the guy is a hack. In my opinion, most if not all sports "writers" who's claim to fame is writing sports commentaries are really no different from the thousands of morons like myself that post in threads on message boards...wait, he gets paid to do it, so I guess he's a "pro".

Actually, I've always thought he was the exact opposite of a homer...he rarely says anything good about the Bills and seems to go out of his way to smash them.

Billick? The dude lost to Marla Marshall on Match Game PM in 1977, after which Richard Dawson remarked "Football: Failed. Game show: Failed".

just wondering how you explain the good job they did against Pittsburgh? Most backups will struggle in that situation.

I haven't done ground war yet...is it huuuge?

I'm on Xbox and the booting only happened once to me...coincidently it happened to be a great game for me. Nuke Town is so freakin' condensed it's refreshing, the respawning with the other team only happened to me once and I killed them all! 154 kills is just amazing! Hell, 50 is amazing! I can't imagine there is a low traffic spot on that map.

agreed on all counts, friggin RC car...only been playing since Friday, but it is a fair fight. BTW fought in Nuke Town yesterday...that one is a frenzied kill zone!

he got the penalty because of his history, he will never get the benefit of the doubt and that's his doing, not the refs and not the league.

indeed...at the point that it happened, it was "dire"...now it's more like "BFD"...in the grand scheme of things it may have kept us in the top 5 draft pick lottery, just like the other 2 OT games we lost, or a few other games we should have had...sure it was dramatic, but really it's no big deal.

indeed...Anton Chigurh. (look it up dummies)

welcome to the machine.

we frown upon the use secret police, propaganda, terror tactics and elimination of criticism of the regime to maintain our power, Saddam. We will consider your application when the political winds turn in the direction of totalitarianism.

you're in! when you can take the pebble from my hand....
