Soccer field don't have a uniform size?
No they don't. The standard that you will find at nearly all professional soccer stadiums (I've always found it interesting that there are virtually no domes, but that's for another conversation) are right around 120Y x 75Y. Here's a site that details the minimum and maximum sizes set forth by FIFA and the requirements for a field hosting an International Game http://www.soccer-fans-info.com/soccer-field-layout.html

Laron Landry will be a Bill; I'd almost guarantee it. And as much as I hated him for the hit on FJax last year, I'd welcome him with open arms.
I'd rather him play for my team than against my team twice a year.

Maybe they are rounding the corner?... Polishing stinkfests into gems... Oh wait, that is the Isles they were playing... Never mind... ;-)
The Islanders have a solid squad this year actually.

Maybe the family has a swimming pool?
Their real smart down there.
I love irony.

This is pretty appropriate for this thread

Very strange question, but why doesn't he have any chest hair?
Any area that's getting tattooed needs to be shaved, similar to surgery. Very strange that was what you noticed and questioned...

Neither can I. I think expectations have been raised by the past two draft classes.
Specifically the great talents of Newton, Kaepernick, Luck, RG3 and Wilson.
But not all of those guys gave indication of just how impressive they would be in the NFL.
In fact, I think RG3 may be the only one who didn't have significant detractors.
Newton, for example, had a very inaccurate throwing session at his individual workout, raising concerns he was too inaccurate to be a good NFL QB. His stock rose into the first round and eventually to #1 gradually in the postseason.
Luck was considered the safest and most polished prospect, but his arm strength was questioned by some.
Luck, Kaepernick and Russell Wilson all seemed to gain a great deal of arm strength upon entering the NFL. Depending on where you read, the NFL ball is longer and slightly narrower than the NCAA ball, but one thing seems sure, it does seem to be more passer friendly.
Which brings me to this class. Has Matt Barkley really shown that he isn't a top QB prospect? What if he comes to the NFL and gains those same extra mph on his fastball? I mean, a year ago he would have been a top 5 draft pick in a great QB draft and I think in the last 20 years he may have been the first pick in 10 of those drafts based on his film. I think had the last two drafts not produced so much ready-for-primetime talent this draft would be viewed differently. There are some decent prospects.
Really good post. You raise some intriguing points. My feeling on this class of QB's is an odd one. I have a feeling that everyone is underestimating this class. It's just a gut feeling with no basis or facts to support it. I could very well be terribly wrong, and that's fine, but I can't shake this feeling that people will be surprised how this QB class shakes out.

Wouldn't he actually have to have looked for the ball on occasion to make this point have any validity?

Dang, that sucks. I guess Vegas isn't drinking the Kool-Aid, that the answer to knocking off the Pats on the way to the Super Bowl trophy was right down the road in hiring the whole Syracuse staff.
Go figure!
So Vegas doesn't think we are going to the Super Bowl next year with the first year of the new regime? Shocker!

Filet of any size would be a nice change of pace from the **** sandwiches we have had for the last 13 years. Bring it on!
Come on now, we are at least getting McRibs out of them.

FYI, the link only appeared for me after I quoted your post.
And why would they use so many damn shades of red? It's impossible to tell the difference between the shades of red in areas without a team close by.

Speaking as strictly a TV watcher I like Toronto games. They are automatically televised.
I hope this year they wise up and make it a December game because they generally are blacked out when played at the Ralph.
Kinda like they did this year??

A sack of potatoes has value
Do you think we could trade Mario for a sack of potatoes? Idaho potatoes only though...
-
The hatred for the Toronto series is infantile. It provides much needed revenue and exposure to a gigantic market. If you're not smart enough or too thin skinned to understand that, please just let it go.
Also, petitions are super gay.
Do you want to start up a petition with me to end all petitions?

Who's organizing the protest in front of OBD? I'll supply the tar and feathers, you guys bring the pitchforks and whatever else sounds good to everyone.
-
20 to 30 percent of bills fan come from Canada, could buffalo even survive without if you banned canadians from the Ralph. And didn't the last toronto series bring Mario Williams to toronto, maybe there looking to get another guy..... The op. Is a cry baby
Whoa... who ever talked about banning Canadians from the Ralph???

Grigorkenko is staying put, per Darcy. Pressure is on Ruff to maximize this kid's potential.
Good news! I'm excited to see this kid develop.

And again we have a thread where the OP says his bit the disappears into the sunset. Why don't people come back to defend their position? Isn't that the point of starting threads?

Those that are calling Manti sick need to gather a little perspective. Lance ruined people's lives to shield the truth. Manti just wanted someone to love and let himself believe some pretty incredible things. Naive, yes. Sick, no way.

I just came across this video involving the girl whose pictures were used under a false name. Pretty interesting perspective to the situation.

And people continue bringing up this Catfish show. I've never seen it. But are the fake relationships on there even 10% as complex as this one and do they last 4 years?
Well, the documentary that spawned it ("Catfish" as well) involved a woman around 40 that had over a dozen fake profiles, would send Nev who is in his mid twenties I'm guessing (the creator and subject of the documentary) pictures that her little "sister" would paint, care packages, etc. She also claimed that they were opening a gallery for the girls paintings and that she just moved to a horse farm. The girl that this woman was claiming to be was a relative that she no longer had contact with. As soon and Nev and the crew showed up, this woman claimed that the girl was in rehab for alcohol and wasn't around. The ending is pretty eye-opening.
Most of these cases involve people that have low self esteem and are filling some sort of void in their life. Here's a YouTube vides so you can get a gist of what the documentary is all about since I'm not that good at explaining it.

And the Wiki page for the show:

EDIT: I tried finding a video of the interview at the end of the documentary explaining how they came up with the term "Catfish" but I couldn't find it. If i come across it, I'll definitely post it here.
I'd recommend watching that documentary if you get a chance, it'll really help everyone understand Manti's situation a little bit better.

I was sure this was a Peter Pan link.
That said, yes.

This isn't funny. Bubble guns are gateway guns and need to be controlled. How this girl got a hold of one, not to mention the ammunition, without a background check is a failure of society and government.
As long as she had less than 7 bubbles in the gun it's okay with me.
Are we seriously going to let Levitre walk?

One thing I never see posted is that while Andy was cleaning out his locker he said something along the lines of "my desire to stay in Buffalo is a 10 out of 10." Pretty big statement for him to make to never be brought up in the discussions about him.
I tried searching for the quote but it's not that easy on my phone. I'll do more looking for it once I can get to my computer.
