[stan follows his dog's footprints and finds himself facing Big Gay Al's Big Gay Water Park] Big Gay Al: Hi little fella, how are you doing today? Stan: Fine, how are you? Big Gay Al: I'm super, thanks for asking. Stan: My gay dog ran away, and I was wondering if maybe he came here. Big Gay Al: Well, let's see. Come on in. Hmm. [they enter the big gay water park] Stan: D'you have lots of gay dogs here? Big Gay Al: We have all sorts of gay animals here at Big Gay Al's Big Gay Water Park. Over here we have a gay QB impersonating a gay lion on a water slide while his somewhat masculinely featured supermodel beard... I mean wife... looks on. Tom Brady: "Rooaar"

The fact that if the lockout kills the entire season we could draft third overall next year and not have to suffer through watching another woeful season to do it. (meant to be funny, not negative... it didn't work... despite recognizing this I posted it anyway... guess I'm a douche ) Aside from that, I expect another developmental year, so IMO if players show significant development in the first half of the season it's all gravy.

Are you making fun of the fact that the font on his computer would have to be REALLY LARGE for him to read it because he is SO OLD!!! Tsk, tsk... for shame.

And he paid in wampum.

Not disputing the urban meaning of whip, just that it's not obviously in the context of the tweet. Could be two different trains of thought run together, I suppose, otherwise it'd be odd to assume Hairston was working out to get a raise on an as yet to be negotiated contract in order to compete salary-wise with a former teammate with a likewise yet to be negotiated contract (though I suppose the difference between a 2nd and 4th rounder would be substantial). I'd personally rather believe he wants to kick his former teammate's ass for bragging rights.

What will it take for certain players to "breakout" A season!!!

I think you had it... until the car part, that is. Jenkins was his teammate at Clemson, and is a d-lineman drafted by Washington... I think he's bustin his balls that he's going to whip him come game time (probably a reference to the Bills-Skins Toronto game).

...and your team is going to the Stanley Cup Finals every year, too. Yeah, we know about you Torontonians.

I agree, and IMO the message in both of the statements is "Donte knows what we're prepared to offer, and he can take it or leave it, and no amount of social media posturing will change that."

... just touchdowns, according to Stevie J.

Aside from the fact that he didn't reiterate his previous statement verbatim, I'd say the meaning behind both of these statements is the same.

If my ILB has to run 40 yards to get to the ball carrier, then he's lining up behind my safeties and I need to talk to my D coordinator.

Thanks. That was very illuminating. My point was there is no position on the field called franchise QB. I didn't hear "With the 74th selection in the 2011 draft New England selects Ryan Mallet, franchise QB out of Arkansas." It is an assessment, not a position. And apparently it was not an assessment that Nix or Gailey made. With all of the reaching for QBs in this draft, the ones they liked and that met their criteria best were obviously gone. Drafting a guy that's not what you're looking for just because he's there and ignoring another player you have similarly rated that also fills a need would have been throwing a pick away. Rating a player is not purely on talent alone, busts happen because of work ethic, intelligence/decision making (or lack-thereof) and off-field issues. If the player didn't have the talent to begin with he wouldn't be a bust. These are all issues that have been raised with Mallet, and if he doesn't fit your system (can you see Bledsoe ever fitting what Gailey is doing/has done with his offenses) you don't take him.

Don't know if anyone else noticed this, but I also feel that Mallet may have been a bit of a pawn in the Belicheat game. Watching NFL Network with NE having back to back picks and suddenly Lombardi breaks the news that Mallet will soon be a Pat*. Pats* use first of two picks on Stevan Ridley then wait what seems like a long time before taking Mallet, a pick that was announced on TV probably 10 minutes ealier, at least. My gut feeling at that moment was that they would have rather traded out of that spot than take Mallet, and that announcing the imminent selection was an attempt to drum up a yet another trade for them. Or maybe I'm just a conspiracy theorist...

That's an insane clip. I was laughing my ass off at watching him throw a guy 8 feet in the air and 12 feet in distance. It's like a human shot put!!

1) Is (if?) you're going to be pretentious and "fix" someone's screen name, try spelling it correctly... DELUSIONAL 2) Franchise QB is not a pick, it's an assessment. If you make the assessment that someone is a franchise QB, you've also likely committed 3+ years to finding this out. NE has a franchise QB in Brady and can develop a QB behind him. Buffalo has a stop-gap in Fitz, and when they do draft a QB with an eye toward the future they need to develop him. If they take a flier on Mallet this year, they are not drafting a QB next year, which may be a better draft from a value standpoint. This year the QB value is all messed up due to the fact there has been no free agency and teams with QB needs are drafting QBs WAY TOO HIGH with respect to ability. 3) Are you really that upset that the Bills are trying to improve a defense that gave up 200+ yard on the ground in half of their games last year?

Only reason it's Galt and not Taggart is purely due to league eligibility... damn good ol' boys club.

That's Leroy. Levi is the Brown lying flat on his back because he's never learned that Lucy always pulls the damn ball away before he kicks it.

I've got your Crest Whitening Strips right here, little man!!! OR Though he never gave a specific reason why, Mark Kelso never much cared for the "midget tossing for distance" halftime shows at Rich Stadium.

It's hard to take a side in this one, kinda like trying to pick a rooting interest in a death match between Saddam Hussein and Satan. So many things to hate about both teams. In the end, I was rooting against the Jets (I could never really root for the Pats*) because they represent everything that is wrong about self absorbed atheletes, IMO. Bunch of self aggrandizing, never won a thing, look at me-look at me jerk-offs led by a caricature of a head coach... If they win the SB, this will be (self) promoted as THE model to follow for the foreseeable future, and will be glorified in many ways instead of reviled. At least the Pats* are usually relatively quiet in their smugness... now if only ESPN, former players ( YOU, Bruschi and Harrison!!), and their fans would follow suit.

Thought I saw a member of the press talking to himself in the corner during the post-game... one man's paranoid schizophrenic is another man's prophet, I guess... though I could have sworn it was Sully and not JW.

"The gloves are off, God." "God has taken my bird and my bush." "God is a mean kid with a magnifying glass." "Smite me, O mighty smiter!" Now, I'm not much for blaspheming, but that last one made me laugh. ... Morgan Freeman dammit!! I knew that film was gonna come back and take an even bigger bite out of Buffalo's ass!

He was as exquisite as a fine caviar...

Anyways, their oughtsta-could bee a law bout posters bashin oer's bad grammar irregardless of they're owen shortcomins.

Personally, I'd rather see BPA in 1st and take a chance that one of the QBs in a deep class will be there in 2nd or 3rd if a QB isn't BPA, especially if one doesn't separate himself from the pack. Regardless of Bama, those arguing for Mallet should take a look at the abysmal second half of the Georgia game minus the last drive. As for Bama, he gave them the points... those were some pretty ugly picks to throw when your team is up by 13. Unlike the broadcast team who thought he was trying to throw the ball out of bounds at the end, I think he was trying to hit his back. He's got the balls to throw and a good arm, but his accuracy needs work. For those saying we can't go through another season with Fitz, unless Brohm steps up I think we do just that (unless whoever we draft progresses really quickly). No sense throwing a rookie to the wolves before he's ready when you have a QB with second string talent but a good (albeit, crazily huge) head for the game to set the perfect bar for when to put your "future" into the game. Let him learn how to "think" NFL football behind Fitz for a while, and put him at the point that he gives you a better chance to win.
