  1. 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/
  2. Are you always such a vital contributor to your own threads?
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. If the note is correct, Dareus has 70 lbs on the bear.
  6. No, they would be ants with nuts, whereas aunts with nuts would be hermaphrodites.
  7. Just to clarify, five individuals or one individual and an "appendage on the down low" of an MIA musician from the 40s?
  8. 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?
  9. Didn't they draft Janeane Garofalo last year?
  10. Are you guys eskimo brothers?
  11. This guy? I thought he left a few years ago.
  12. I think he was trying to powerwash the sand from his vajayjay.
  13. Damn those scrofulous eagles! Methinks you're missing a "t".
  14. Love the headline about Andre Johnson backing out of Colts deal after seeing Andrew Luck up close.
  15. His bad. Turns out they were offering the most cheddar, not chedda.
  16. 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!
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Franchise tag number for 2014 for DE is $13M+ http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000330088/article/nfl-releases-2014-franchise-transition-tag-numbers
  21. Without crushing Tom Terrific, members of Project-NFL defense have no name. In rendering defeat upon the Pats*, we rejoice in our brethren's name. HIS name is Bernard Pollard. His name is Bernard Pollard. His name is Bernard Pollard.
  22. Bills' Williamses and friends.
  23. Instead, how about they have Dr. Frankenstein attach Peyton's head (maybe even shave the forhead so it doesn't need a custom helmet) to EJ's body so that they don't have to play short-handed. It's a win-win-win. Peyton gets limbs that still work and a neck that doesn't have all the wear from the years of wind shear on his forehead, the Bills still get to make use of a first round draft pick, and EJ keeps his spot on the team (sort of). EJ head on Peyton body can throw teeshirts to the crowd where his tendency to throw things over people's heads will be compensated for by his newly worn out arm.
  24. Do you think the douche with his own name tatooed across his shoulders would be available?
  25. I'd argue that it's nuance. It certainly wasn't a savaging, but it was not well received. The vast majority of the early responses were of the "I call BS" variety directed at the poster, the information presented, and the presence/absence of a credible source. Someone with ~180 posts called him out on his ~150 posts. Classic. However, you're right, no one insulted his family or threatened to paint a twig and berries on his lawn.
