  1. You'll have to be more specific with the question... This isn't an impossible choice at the end of a disgusting game of "would you rather", is it?
  2. JBJ was in the running to own it, but he couldn't pony up the 30% share and the Royal Tannenbaums pulled out when they found out Ralph Wilson managed to negotiate a clause in the lease with the county stating that using room service to deliver poutine and toques was a violation of the terms of the lease and would result in JBJ's Destination Anywhere being blared through megaphones on an endless loop indefinitely in their beloved city of Tonto.
  3. Are you suggesting that my intentional malapropism may actually be apropos? ...that would explain the skid mark.
  4. Enough, already, with the self-defecating humor!
  5. What's the deal with being mean to the taints of poor persons?
  6. You highlighted the comparison he was making, "in that he was old and expensive", and then took issue with an argument about career trajectory that was not being made... http://www.k12reader.com/subject/reading-skills/context-clues/
  7. Are you always such a vital contributor to your own threads?
  8. I figured that the logical next step for Brady, since he was no longer able to under inflate his balls, would be to find a way to over inflate his hand.
  9. Ignoring the fact that from a passer rating standpoint four of his top five seasons have occurred in the last five years as his front office has let all of his targets but Gronk walk, of course. Man did that leave a sh!tty taste in my mouth to type that.
  10. If the note is correct, Dareus has 70 lbs on the bear.
  11. No, they would be ants with nuts, whereas aunts with nuts would be hermaphrodites.
  12. Just to clarify, five individuals or one individual and an "appendage on the down low" of an MIA musician from the 40s?
  13. 2 questions: Does throwing him a rope presume you'll continue to hold one end of it? If not, can the end of the rope instead be attached to a large non-buoyant object... an anchor, for instance?
  14. Didn't they draft Janeane Garofalo last year?
  15. Are you guys eskimo brothers?
  16. This guy? I thought he left a few years ago.
  17. I think he was trying to powerwash the sand from his vajayjay.
  18. Damn those scrofulous eagles! Methinks you're missing a "t".
  19. Love the headline about Andre Johnson backing out of Colts deal after seeing Andrew Luck up close.
  20. His bad. Turns out they were offering the most cheddar, not chedda.
  21. Wait, what?! They didn't mention in the introductory pressers that McCoy was going to be moved to LB or that Incognito was being moved to S. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!
  22. I'm not sure which is more dispiriting, the everpresent reminder that journalism is a dying quick and painful death or the subsequent inexorable reminder that critical thinking isn't far behind.
  23. http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2015/03/buffalo_bills_reportedly_close_to_new_contract_with_lesean_mccoy.html Nothing goes over my head. My reflexes are too fast. I would catch it.
  24. I would argue that bad coaching can also get inside of a young player's head to the extent that "it" has a hard time overcoming poor instruction. I'm not suggesting that EJ definitely has "it," but there were a few times in the first season when it seemed that a game was on the line and he stopped thinking, and was able to play a more instinctual game. The Pats* game in his first start comes to mind. OT in the Atlanta game comes to mind. There were others. It was mentioned upthread by KD about Rex letting Geno play to see what he had. Unfortunately for Rex, Geno is a brick, and he proved that he is a turnover machine that has a hard time thinking about the reprecussions of blindly pulling the trigger, but I would have loved to see EJ in a similar situation where taking care of the ball was not the first, second, third, and fourth priority that appeared to be drilled into his head. IMO, Marrone completely missed the point of taking chances on offense when you have a defense that can bail you out if you turn the ball over. He should have tried harder to develop a young QB with a defense like that to fall back on, but I suspect in the back of his mind he had one foot out the door the second the prospect of the ownership change entered the picture. Unfortunately, his self-serving approach leaves the franchise in the same spot it was at the beginning of last season, with a playoff caliber roster that is now 1 year older and a big unanswered question at QB.
  25. Franchise tag number for 2014 for DE is $13M+ http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000330088/article/nfl-releases-2014-franchise-transition-tag-numbers
