"Yup, that Chan Gailey!"

no way, the Blue Devils win Championships and prove they are the best. The Yankees win Championships and prove they are the best. Dane Cook has made a fortune out of being mediocre at best. Good for him and all, but when it comes to actual comedy, his routine has gotten really weak. He had some funny bits back in the day, but seems to have convinced himself that he can say ANYTHING and have it be funny, as long as he says it a certain way.
and there are PLENTY of other funny comedians that aren't "the all-time greatest" but are at least original and creative enough to write real jokes.
This is a matter of opinion. It is no different than saying Duke gets every call and the Yankees buy every championship. The truth is that Dane Cook is tremendously popular and successful, and with that comes all the folks that need to discredit him and his fans.
Comedy is such a personal preference thing. No sense in trying to explain to everyone what they should find funny.

How can you really not get that? Do you honestly think that the Steelers traded Holmes behind closed doors? 30 other teams had an opportunity to offer something higher than a 5th round pick. That tells you something right there about Holmes.
My apologies, I jumped the gun and didn't have all the facts. Your point makes perfect sense now.

Well, now we know the answer to the "If Roethlesberger was black" thread...
Yes it's clear as day, at least to those of us who just wanted something to be true from Day 1. -
He used to be in. Now it's in to hate on him. Who cares.
I agree with this. Dane Cook is not the best or worst comedian out there but it's definately cool to crush him. Everyone knows the type of cool guy I'm talking about. One of my friends just layed into Cook last week and later admitted he has only seen his movies. Again, I'm no big fan of Dane Cook but he is the Duke Blue Devils of comedy.
..... and can we stop comparing every performer to the all-time greatest of their craft? Every comedian isn't Richard Prior in his prime.

30 other NFL teams could have traded for him. That tells you what kind of risk the jets are taking.
This makes zero sense. When was the last time a player was traded to more than one team?
The 30 other teams might be kicking themselves this morning for not getting Holmes for a fifth rounder.

Dogs usually enjoy any strong odor whether it's ass or a decaying animal. They haven't been programmed to distinguish what is a pleasant smell and what is a bad smell.
What if you were raised in a world where you were taught ass was a fantastic scent and freshly cut grass was a horrific odor?
.... that's my uneducated opinion. Any scholars out there, feel free to correct me.

I like both teams so either one is okay with me.
The bandwagon of hatred for Duke has become more annoying than their over exposure and obnoxious coverage.
This is also not a case of David v.s. Goliath. The promotion of anything such is just hype IMO. Butler isn't getting their just do and deserves to be recognized as an elite team but that doesn't make for a compelling story I guess.

Let me get this straight. Some Friggin Dirt-Bag steals a gun from an Injured Police Officer and you clowns rally in support of the Friggin Liberal DA who's trying to blame the Injured Police Officer for what the Dirt-Bag did.
Did I friggin miss something here?
Brutal.

Donte Whitner was at the shoot and was seen holding Wilson's coat throughout the day. When approached with the notion of having another Bill's safety in the video, Mary J replied with " do you think we could get Jairius Byrd or Bryan Scott here in time? "

Doesn't matter who is available, they pick the wrong person even when the right one is there. It's not bad luck.
It's incompetence.
I'm not going to disagree with that, they have certainly had their share of incompetence. Luck most definately has a hand in draft success as well.
-
I'd be happy with Graham or Morgan. It would be nice to have the option of taking the first DE/OLB.

We need, among other things, OT and DT - usually picking at 9 would get you an elite prospect at one of those positions (maybe second best off the board). Not this year, most mocks have something like this ahead of us:
Suh
McCoy (DT)
Baluga
Williams
Okung
Davis
How unlucky are we that potentially 6 of the top 8 teams in front of us are drafting at our greatest need? I looked back over the last decade of NFL drafts and only one year, 2002 comes close to that many at OT/DT being taken off the board (at 5). Reminds me of the year that we desperately needed a RB, and just 2-3 spots in front of us the Vikings take AP. We get Marshawn.
I would love to know if there has ever been an NFL draft that 6-7 of the top ten picks were OT/DT
Every year it feels like the Bills are always one or two picks away from difference makers.
IMO the draft has six elite prospects. Suh, McCoy, and Berry are the best bets on defense. Bradford, Okung, and Spiller are the best bets on offense.
It looks like Spiller is the only one who could fall to us and obviously not our top need. If the Bills subscribe to take the best player available, he gets picked.

“What do this got to do with me playing football? Even if I did forget my cleats, what do that have to do with me playing football? I don’t think it has anything to do with me playing football.”
I guess he doesn't see the absurdity of his statement there. Also, IIRC he's the guy who wasn't allowed to have his pro day at his alma mater. There is a problem Dez, and the more you deny it or don't see it the worse it is for you. JMO
He even defends his decision to work out with Adam “Pacman” Jones, who was suspended for the entire 2007 season after a series of off-the-field incidents.
“Why down talk the man? The man did everything right. He’s working out. He’s doing good. What happened in the past was the past. That’s just like anybody else. If they did something wrong, they would be looking for a second chance.”
With all of the questions surrounding him he still goes and trains with Pacman. Not very smart at all. He should be distancing himself from guys like that. Not embracing them. JMO
Great points. Does anyone know why he didn't hold his pro day at his college? How does a guy with character concerns going into the draft, associate himself openly with Pacman Jones?
I would certainly hesitate in handing this kid millions of dollars and asking him to make good choices.

Wrongosaurus. We QB fanciers are aware that getting a QB at #9 won't produce a terrific team this year. It will take time to build a team around him. We are also aware that picking an LT at #9 ALSO WON'T produce a terrific team this year, that in fact, we're most likely going to be fairly crappy this year.
We just know that it is a lot harder to find a franchise QB than a franchise player at any other position.
Bingo.
In addition to that,
Mediocre QB with Great O-line = mixed results and varied effectiveness
Great QB with mediocre O-line = almost always in contention

Weight rooms should smell like sh*t, be poorly lit, and have metal blasting on a cheap azz stereo constantly.
Don't forget scalding hot pipes that can be used for wide-grip pull ups. Clubber Lang whipped Rocky with this training method and you could make a case that it had a hand in Mick's heart attack.

Rusty Jones would never have allowed this to happen. I've heard that Jones has never even seen a TV and that the only sleep he gets is between his football player's lifting sets. His plyometrics routine is so cutting edge that it is rumored to be picked up by the military soon and could spell the end of Kevlar and body armor.

Just stripped some horrible wallpaper form a few rooms in my house and I have to pick some paint colors. I am the farthest thing from a home decorator and live by myself. Any ideas or resources that can help me pick some nice color combos? I am resigned to the fact that Camo might hurt the resale value and isn't that trendy.

And boom goes the dynamite.

Maybe if they didn't spend so much time tricking out there Myspace pages, they could have executed a proper ambush. In the end they got the attention they were so desperately seeking and the approval of fellow trash. Man those guys are scary, did you see their camouflage and AR-15s?

I'm sorry to hear that news cablelady. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

You can file a grievance, but if they don't want to hire you they won't hire you. I applied and did all of the testing to be a police officer for 9 years, and couldn't get hired on. They kept telling me that I didn't have enough "life's experience". Then finally 9 years later an agency told me they wouldn't hire me because I applied to too many different agencies. I threw in the towel after that.
Now, keep in mind I am not a veteran, but I volunteered a lot of time with my local sheriff's office when I was younger.
IMO, it's politics. You probably didn't fit the exact criteria of what they wanted then. Try again. From what I have been told it is all about the timing. If you time it right then you will get hired on. Sounds more like luck to me. In any event, good luck and I hope you get hired on.
Thanks Kevin, I'm definately going to keep trying. I completely agree with you on the politics end of it though.

Jim Boeheim has won a few games in his career. I don't think he needs to worry about his job.
Dane Cook

I don't know if this is true for you but it is certainly true for many. I'm not really into Dane Cook either but I'm not going to say he offers no real substance because I'm only luke warm on his humor. Obviously he makes ridiculous amount of people laugh, his success speaks for itself.
I agree Carlos Mencia is a hack.
