1. The league has fairly decent parity or it has a level of parity that it has happy with and does not feel the need to 'increase' parity. Parity is about the opportunity to be equal, not a guarantee. 2. It's a nice thought, but there's enough holes to drive a death star through. Just to start, if a QB is claimed then he is 'protected', but any QB claimed can't be claimed again? That right there already overlaps and makes one of them irrelevant. Throwing draft picks for lost QBs just makes it more of a 'cluster'. Are you adding picks? Taking them away from other rounds? This starts to create a cluster. What's to stop teams from using this to 'create' draft picks? Get another team to claim your backup QB and get a free 2nd round pick?

Donte needs a chastity belt for his fingers

What's odd? Most players are not going to sign contracts at this time given the CBA negotiations.

why give traffic to a sub par comic that trashes the Bills that no one had heard of?

I don't recall all this clamoring for holmgren. Either way, the decision to keep mangini made sense. In hindsight, Mangini wasn't great, but how could that really be known before they actually worked with him and weren't sure of the circumstances surrounding last season.

If he's such a great human being, he can donate a proportionate amount of his pay to charities that equals the levels he feels that he did not make the plays he is paid to make. Otherwise, it's just bluster.

oooohhhh...kaaay. *backs away slowly*

There's a number on inaccuracies in the post. I'm curious why you're so in favor of the players? Neither side is representing fan interests.

oh, there are numbers to back this assertion up?

Hulu is handcuffed since it is owned by the major interests in TV market. They are continually prevent from providing the type of disruption to the status quo that they is necessary to force a shift. Business models are being legislated in Washinton thanks to the heavy lobbying by the movie industry (and Publishing and Recording industry).

So Danny boy is suing over an article http://mirror.washingtoncitypaper.com/articles/40063/the-cranky-redskins-fans-guide-to-dan-snyder.html He didn't like people saying things he didn't approve: http://mirror.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2011/02/02/snyder-sues.html So he objects to the squigly lines drawing devil horns and a goatee on his image because they're anti-Semetic. Dan Snyder, you see, is very sensitive towards depictions that may be racist and culturally insensitive nature.

I liked when the DOH announced 'criminal' proceedings from Disney headquarters. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110201/10252412910/homeland-security-seizes-spanish-domain-name-that-had-already-been-declared-legal.shtml http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110201/17584712915/will-homeland-security-domain-seizures-lead-to-exodus-us-controlled-domains.shtml It's nice that they're driving the innovation outside of the US to make businesses who can't adapt and try to legislate an outdated business plan warm and fuzzy.

This is a sarcastic joke post? Maybe they should have just run timed sprints and lifted weights?

Not much. Artists don't make very much money off albums. Even acts that would be considered wildly successful can often not repay the label. The labels often take advantage of the artist because the artist makes money from live performances and other areas. Perhaps, the owners should start taking endorsements into question and players with high endorsements should share 50% of them with everyone else.

You really did stop watching football in 2007

I'm sure there's someone out there who thinks that Peyton being mentioned in the same breath as Edwards is funny too. Just because you think it, doesn't make it gold.

The article is formatted well and covers many of the topics on the table, but it has too many assumptions. This type of writing kills the credibility. It ignores outright that a big reason for the decreased spending was the looming lockout itself. It's heavily slanted towards the players for some reason. I'm certainly not sympathetic to the owners, but I'd like to see a more objective article.

Don't mistake Price and Value. Dont'e worth is also greater to the 'free agent market' then it to the Bills. His 'Value' does not justify his 'Price'

Ralph, is that you?

I totally got it! He sent Chan to the Bills so he can find a QB and start building up talent then Cowher will sweep in and win a Superbowl! He is already secretly calling the shots behind the scenes!

The nail and hammer head have met

He's been saying all along that he wasn't coming out. The only people planning for it have been ESPN, SI, etc

While it's not certain, it seems like there is a good chance that this year's draft will be included in a rookie cap.

No, No, No
