I can't believe that a Penn State LB who was an unheralded as Paul Posluszny cannot stay on the field, and when he does, he is mediocre. This is especially painful for me to admit because I was very excited when we drafted him, and expected quite a lot from him since we hadn't had a talent like him at LB since Conlan and Bennett. What are the thoughts of those here at TBD regarding Posluszny? Whether or not he is out for a significant period of time is inconsequential- for a career, to me he's been a bust.

I use a fake birthday in my profiles most of the time, and I keep the same month.... and so, I am confident it is Howard Kindig.

The whole two party system in a media happy modern society has come to this, and it is an utter joke. The substantial increase of executive power that was ramped up under the administrations of FDR, Nixon, Reagan, and Bush has now plopped into Obama's lap and you are right- he has done little to stop it, and I'm a Democrat. We are faced with two choices, either Obama again (which I am VERY unhappy with him- see offshore drilling lift, slamming Arizona's immigration law, out of control spending through the poor Democratic leadership) or the uber conservative, ugly Republican candidate which will basically never reduce the deficit and cut spending while giving out tax breaks like candy. This is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE and has gone on for far too long. I am appalled at the total lack of choices we have today, and where we are heading as a society. We should NEVER be allowed to have to choose between two extremes and call it democracy... revolting.

All you will get is vitriol and a possible aneurysm, for a leopard never changes his spots. If you ever play online on Xbox Live, it is a lot like playing a game of Modern Warfare 2 against a bunch of trash talking kids who never shut up... debate is useless and the only options are either mute or don't play at all.

Don't bother arguing with ranting extreme conservatives- you can't win, because their propensity for personal attacks can only be answered with the same, and it just isn't worth it. That's why I largely ignore this entire part of TBD- it is a microcosm of what is wrong with politics today, and why we continue to elect the same representatives and have the same problems in this country. Extremists have taken over the debate and are running us into the ground.

I know you just didn't say that Maybin would be bad if he turned out to be Derrick Thomas! Wow....!

I saw the posts, and it was what I thought precipitated his departure. Is that so?

She overreacted after Tim Graham overreacted, and the end result doesn't surprise me. It is not like having a phone or being confronted in person- they are words that can easily be ignored but are chosen not to be. I read the 'infamous posts', and they were not as bad as you make them out to be- i.e. the very worst of fan responses akin to a Philly fan. She was very upset that he left, and evidently couldn't cope with him not being here. That's not an issue with TBD posters; that is an issue she has to deal with. Also, I mentioned before that if there was truly an effort to make him feel totally comfortable, then the rules should have been strictly enforced, but they were not, and people were still allowed to post there. I know I'm going to get blasted from some, but as a party not involved in this I could see this maelstrom for what it was.

The COLTS will finish 9-7 and not make the playoffs? OK, someone over there got their numbers all jacked up... laughable.

Yes, but where is the line drawn? When you draw a line in a Code of Conduct on a board and says that these items are suspendable or bannable offenses and then fail to act because the poster has been on a board for years, or is usually a good guy, or writes articles, or X, then that sets a precedence. I GUARANTEE that if the COC was enforced fairly and expediently, then people would tone it down so there WOULD be no overreaction or reaction to a classless post.

Does smoking cause abuse, domestic violence, destruction, and loss of employment on a scale that alcoholism and binge drinking does? No... your numbers only take into consideration death. Living with those negative aspects is just as painful and ugly. Alcoholism doesn't affect loved ones? Sheesh, that's not true AT ALL! I am serious... start banning everything, and we ALL lose our rights to be human beings. If you can't accomodate others by allowing smoking sections, then to me you should lose something YOU greatly enjoy.

If someone is going to leave over what I have read, then I would consider it to be an overreaction. I have seen more vitriol and bannable conduct in PPP on a daily basis than I ever did in TG's threads. Reacting to the departure of Tim Graham is WAY too late, for bannable conduct has been tolerated here and in fact has been ignored. This is merely a wake up call that no matter WHO the poster is, it has to stop.

Good men as in desk jockeys? Why, yes, I can agree with that.

You spelled divine wrong... here, have a donut.

Please feel free to contact me for any preparations that might be needed... I'm 15 minutes from downtown! I am excited they are coming here!!

First smoking, then the stadium food because it is to fattening, then the alcohol goes away becuase it isn't "family friendly". Just remember that when they ban all of that and y'all started it because of smokers. It is a slippery slope that has no end!!! (I'm a non-smoker who doesn't mind smokers because they have rights too)

Come to BALTIMORE and get some great sightlines and great food! I already am in the weeds, lying in wait for the tickets. It is so easy to get to the stadium if you get a hotel room near the light rail lines from Hunt Valley to Glen Burnie- I just went to the Orioles game last night, and even on game days/nights it is not bad at all.

Obama is such a sellout to allow this drilling in the Atlantic... another reason why the two party system needs to GO. We should be investing more in the Fischer–Tropsch process/liquefaction and alternative coal processing, which can make up for the losses that would be incurred by not drilling.

LOL!!!!! My father used to spin up the jarheads back in the late 50's when they got their checks because it always had DON right across the front Jarhead is an affectionate term for a Marine just so everyone knows... damn fine outfit. They could really teach the Army a lot, that's for sure!

The Department of the Navy, who the Marine Corps works for, thanks you as well. I seriously want to go to a large news network and offer my services for the ticker, because more often than not they are terrible at their jobs i.e.: Tiger Wood's Day of Remembrence Calender

Jack Kemp was the last one... where is our Kemp?

http://ballhype.com/article/2010-nfl-draft...day-a-top-five/ THIS. I'm glad someone else agrees with me... and I sure hope that we can get a guy like Tebow or McCoy- someone who not only acts like but genuinely has the desire to win that burns deep, someone who wants to be successful badly. I think Clausen is more like a spoiled child than an NFL QB, and I won't budge from that stance. GO BILLS!

If we draft Clausen.... TACTICAL NUKE IMMINENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Call of Duty MW fans will understand) We do not need a Ryan Leaf on our team... let him take his poor work ethic and questionable leadership somewhere else!

Thank GOODNESS they didn't resign Peters, or we'd be off WORSE that we are now!! Overpaying for that overrated, often injured snail of an LT would have been like us resigning TO for another season. ONE THING they did do right was letting him go! Phew...

OK, what is this?!?! Sir Charles IS A BILLS FAN... doesn't anyone else know this???? OMFG... he's just like any fan- sick of this BS, and cracks jokes on our own team because that is how bad it has gotten at OBD. I know I am now in that kind of mental state with regards to the Bills... we have become a joke at this point.
