    :thumbsup: Ummm... the Germans didnt bomb Pearl Harbor... Japan did

     

     

    geez, i hate explaing my humor.......ever watch the movie Animal House ?.....thats the start of the famous lines when future senator john blutarski (bluto) was rallying the troops......

     

    D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.

    Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

    Otter: Germans?

    Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.

    Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...

    [thinks hard]

    Bluto: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!

    [runs out, alone; then returns]

    Bluto: What the !@#$%$%^ happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...

    Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

    Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.

    D-Day: Let's do it.

    Bluto: *Let’s do it*!

    Cowher the Cowher is Cowher for Cowher in Cowher's Cowher

    here's my take on Joe Logan's source......it's Jim Kelly. Kelly is so frustrated with the bills last ten years of futility, that he is willing to risk feeding this Joe Logan info , in order to get cowher the job. the ends justifies the means. i think kelly is the only one willing to stand up to the potential rath of ralph when the "leaker" is found out. in the unlikely event it's an employee, other than russ brandon, that employee can kiss their job goodbye.

    Marshawn Lynch steals 20$

    It doesn't sound like BS completely. It sounds like Lynch was hitting on this dude's wife and doing it all wrong. The guy is jealous and mad at his wife. He is also taking it too far.

     

    thats my read on it.....

     

    ..but it also shows just how damn stupid marshawn is....he just can't stay out of trouble......highly unlikely he stays with buffalo to complete his current contract.

    i honestly think that the bills are waiting for Cowher to accept the bills job. if cowher removes himself from the bills job, Nix will immediately make contact with Marty Schottenheimer. i think it would be embarrassing to Marty to get him dangling, only to pull the rug out from under him if cowher says yes.

    I think we need to start a movement of Move On Cowher. Sure doesnt seem like the guy wants to be here and alot of the Sttelers fans I talk to lately really feel he is overrated. I want the fire and would like him hired but as each day goes on not clear he has the desire to rebuild or desire to be in Buffalo.. Whichever its time to Move On Cowher. Go back to your seat next to your buddy Marino

     

     

    lets try this again....i apologize for the link last time.....it did work for me, just not everytime. that last thread got locked.

    Why Ndamukong Suh won't go #1 overall

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    As much as I enjoy crayonz's show (and I really do--he always manages to ensnare some unsuspecting posters into thinking he's serious), his post today about Suh "slipping" inspired me to post this separate thread (I think most of you will agree, based on the content, that it deserves its own thread)...I actually have a valid point regarding Suh.

     

    I've mentioned before that, despite many credible personnel men's beliefs (which I share) that Suh is the best overall player in the draft, I believe that it's very unlikely that he goes #1 overall. The biggest reasons for this are actually not related to on-the-field circumstances, but rather to the current salary structure, draft pick compensation, and upcoming labor dispute.

     

    As you all likely know, the #1 overall pick will receive a contract in excess of $70M, with guaranteed money in excess of $40M. In reality, there are only 3 positions in the NFL for which the top players at those positions garner that type of salary with any commonality: QB, LT, and DE. The fact that these 3 are the highest-paid positions in the game is--in my opinion--the largest contributing factor to the reality that no other position has been selected #1 overall since 1996. Why? Because when one of those 3 positions are drafted #1, it doesn't completely throw off the salary structure for that position throughout the league.

     

    Case-in-point: When Matthew Stafford was drafted #1 overall in 2009, his $41M guarantee didn't mess up the salary structure for Peyton Manning, since any elite QB is in line to receive upwards of $30M in bonus money anyway once he's proven himself (based on deals signed by guys like Tony Romo, Big Ben, David Garrard, etc.). The same situation existed in 2008, when Jake Long was selected #1 overall. Jason Peters (as a 2-time pro bowl left tackle), regardless of how you feel about him, would be in line for $30M in guaranteed money on his next contract, even if Long hadn't been selected #1 and given that amount of money (based on deals signed by guys like Jordan Gross, etc.).

     

    Now back to current day NFL economics: if Ndamukong Suh goes #1 overall, a huge domino effect will come as a result. Right now, the highest amount of guaranteed money paid to a DT is $41M for Albert Haynesworth, which was more than double the highest guarantee paid to a DT before that ($18M to Oakland's Tommy Kelly and Cleveland's Corey Williams). That one contract can be considered an anomoly, and furthermore won't mess up the pay structure because Haynesworth had 2 dominant NFL seasons prior to getting that deal. Suh being drafted #1 overall, and getting a similar deal, would cause a ton of guys to expect that kind of money. Among them: Chicago's Tommie Harris, Arizona' Darnell Dockett, the Jets' Kris Jenkins, Cleveland's Shaun Rogers, Jacksonville's John Henderson, and Minnesota's Kevin Williams. Ask yourself: how does anyone expect those guys NOT to hold out for "Suh money"?

     

    Given that expectation, which I highly doubt is unique to my perception, how could any owner justify selecting Suh #1 with such an intense labor dispute on the horizon? This labor dispute will include discussions regarding the salary cap, prospective rookie cap, player compensation, revenue percentages, revenue sharing, etc., all of which would be heavily affected by Suh going #1.

     

    If it happens, I'll be the first to admit that I was wrong, but--for now--until I see him on the podium wearing a Rams' cap, I just can't conceive it.

     

     

    Great Post !!.....

     

    #1- i think that Suh is the proto-type DE in a 3-4 defense, as such any team could easily justify his crazy rookie contract.

     

    #2- such a premium is paid on getting a franchise QB, that it is very possible that St Louis trades down just one spot to Detroit, who doesn't need a QB, but who would want to protect from losing Suh to another team like TB, allowing STL to still take their choice of QB's.....the only way Det doesn't pick Suh, is if he is already gone....in which case it's a toss up between McCoy (DT)and Okung(OT).

    Wilson still the one making the calls

    I live in Atlanta and every thursday at 4pm Mort comes on the radio station here 680 the Fan and does "The Mort Report". When Buck and Kincade asked him about the BUffalo situation he said a bunch of stuff tha we have all heard but he also said that even with the Nix hire that Wilson was still the one making the calls.

     

    I know we all hatre MOrt but could this be true and if it is does this mean we are doomed until this man dies?

     

     

    #1- i guarantee you Daniel Snyder made the call on Shanahan.

     

    #2- Nix clearly stated in his press conference that he would be taking the two or three best coaching options to Ralph for his approval.
