  1. Which is what I have been saying all along. Guns will never ever be made illegal in this country. It is simply impossible. There are not enough people that would be crazy (and stupid) enough to push it through the various levels. The funniest thing about all of this is that Obama has become the president that has done the most for gun and ammo sales. By scaring all of these people into thinking their guns will be taken away he has sparked a craze. (nice economy booster) see here: Gun sales have surged in recent months in the wake of the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn. Owners of gun stores have told several media outlets that they’re running out of ammunition and weapons as gun enthusiasts nervous about a potential crackdown on gun ownership are stocking up. Eight of the top 10 days for gun background checks since 1998 have occurred since the Dec. 14 massacre, according to FBI data. or here: Four years ago the gun lobby predicted Obama would be the “most anti-gun president in American history.” Yet it is hard to find a single aspect of the gun world that isn’t thriving. “The driver is President Obama. He is the best thing that ever happened to the firearm industry,” said Jim Barrett, an industry analyst at C.L. King & Associates Inc. in New York. I have to give the guy credit. He has fooled (almost) everyone!
  2. Not at all. This was monopoliztion and price gouging at its finest. nfl2k was a serious threat to the franchise. It was cheap, fun, and had the nfl license. EA got an exclusive which put nfl2k out of business and then raised the prices on the games. The worst part of that is they then began abusing customers. Each year the game added 1 tiny alteration but remained the same game. When it moved to the next gen systems the games were barely playable for the first years. It was far from legal business practice. It was even farther from ethical business practice. No wonder EA has won worst company 2 years running. .(link) Consumerist ran down all the reasons why EA deserves, once again, the title of "Worst Company in America." In a nut shell, it claims the game maker is unapologetic about products that are substandard, over-priced and under-supported EASPT2-400059523-7
  3. at 2000 it looks like there is a prize that will hatch snake eggs. If you go in the premium items it looks like the snake rock. That said I have no idea either. It supposedly runs until May 9th so there may be time.
  4. Can't link bc I'm on my phone but check out Wilson's wiki page. It wasn't college ball he was a pro prospect. If memory serves it was in the Rockies organization.
  5. You do realize that Matt Scott had nowhere near the collegiate career of either of these 2 right? Kaepernick : As a sophomore Kaepernick became just the fifth player in NCAA history to pass for 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 or more yards in a single season. He finished the 2009 season with 2,052 passing yards and 1,183 rushing yards. He became the first player in NCAA history to record back-to-back 2,000/1,000 yard seasons. Kaepernick is the only quarterback in the history of Division I FBS college football to have passed for over 10,000 yards and rushed for over 4,000 yards in a collegiate career. Kaepernick is also the only Division 1 FBS QB to have passed for over 2,000 yards and rushed for over 1,000 yards in a single season three times in a career (consecutively). Wilson: Wilson broke Andre Woodson's all-time NCAA record of 325 consecutive pass attempts without an interception against Gardner-Webb. The 379-pass streak ended in a game against Wake Forest on October 3. The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) named him the first-team All-ACC quarterback. It was the first time in the conference's history that a freshman quarterback was named to the first team. during the 2011 season, in which he set the single season FBS record for passing efficiency (191.8) and led the team to a Big Ten title and the 2012 Rose Bowl.[2] Wilson received the Big Ten Quarterback of the Year award and was named a consensus first-team All-Big Ten and third-team All-American by Yahoo! Sports Now for your boy Scott: Scott was the starting quarterback entering the 2009 season. He got the Wildcats off to a 2-0 start in the 2009 season, however in the third game of the season against Iowa he was pulled in favor of backup Nick Foles. Scott played poorly against Iowa completing only four passes and throwing an interception for a total of 50 yards During the 2011 season Scott redshirted while Foles would start every game. Foles played close to every snap and a backup quarterback was rarely used. So the other two were multiple year starters with lengthy track records of success and Scott had one year of production. I don't even hate Scott I just think that him being a mobile mid round projected qb in no way makes him the same prospect as Wilson or Kaepernick. I wasn't being dismissive of him either just pointing out that your argument against Nassib fits Scott very well.
  6. Yup happened to me too. I was going to my last page to find a friend and drop some eggs but he had been moved. It happened right after I added jboyst so I just blamed him
  7. I'm going to bump this just because it is a good read. Sad sad story very reminiscent of Dareus' plight.
  8. Aww man I wanted to be the one to make the WTC joke! Your post went up right before mine!
  9. IIRC the Plaxico was a 2 parter. The Plaxico dance was fine and not what he got the penalty for. He made fun of Santonio Holmes doing the flying Jet and got the penalty when he simulated it crashing. HOLY SH*T!!!!!!!! THE WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBINGS WERE STEVIE'S FAULT!!!!! Get mitchmurraydowntown here stat! He made a joke about plane's crashing!!! It has to be the same thing as the world trade center!
  10. Well seeing as this thread was started in early January with the first post being about trading back and taking him in the first, as well as a thread on the college board started in November where the 3rd post mentions him as a first round pick I don't think it is very sudden. He has been on many people's radar all year. Matt Scott on the other hand. Now there is someone that NOBODY was talking about at the end of the year and until the underwear olympics.
  11. We will have to agree to disagree on the funny part. I liked the tweet but the musket dance where he pretended to get shot and the plaxico dance were hilarious. That Plaxico celebration may be my favorite of all time. I'm sure there are many ELITE receiver's who have dropped passes. How I would search that I have no idea but off the top of my head TO was known to drop the ball regularly. Wait - how about Welker in the superbowl. If he caught that pass the Pats* run the clock and win. Too bad Tommy can't catch the ball too! As for the penalties - I guess I will cede that point. I don't agree with it at all but will never be able to change your mind on it. He was penalized for going to the ground during a celebration and (inconsistently) for his shirt. I don't find it to be disrespectful but honestly it is all in how his teammates took it. If they felt disrespected than it was disrespectful. I just didn't see it that way.
  12. I'm deep in the game and also refuse to spend money. You can really go crazy with it. I believe the total is around 200$ to buy everything! That said I left a few open grassy areas so people can put eggs down. It seems to be the easiest way to do it. Be careful with this game though. It becomes very addicting and I have had more than 1 fight with the wife because I was playing "that stupid simpsons game." someone did this to a buddy of mine and honestly it is hilarious. Dick move for sure but he is a bit of an ocd guy so it pisses him off to no end. I didn't and wouldn't do it to him or anybody but I am laughing at the carnage caused
  13. I have an idea. Look at the draft visits. 3 receivers from Tennesee and another former Volunteer. All of them know the ins and outs of Tyler Bray. I think they liked the tape but were worried about his personality. I'm not a huge fan of Bray but I think he is higher on the Bills list than most. Past history indicates that predraft visits play a huge role in who is drafted.
  14. I wanted to leave this thread alone. People getting bent out of shape bc of a joke was maddening enough and then this guy shows up. Listen the joke that he made was still funny. The bombing unless it was done by Stevie himself has nothing NOTHING to do with his tweet. Boston isn't Foxboro. As for clueless humps (great insult btw I'll admit to chuckling - mostly at you but still...) I would love to know what enlightened area you live in that is clueless hump free. If I were to call over to Boston I would imagine a majority were unaware of his tweet and those that had would be smart enough to know it had nothing to do with yesterday. The last bolded section is entertainment for me as well. Trying to understand your next post made me immediately think of your insult. 1 person on twitter doesn't represent the whole of BIlls or Bills fans. The best is your tying of the Bills woes to twitter and fans responses on their. I'll admit I started out irritated but these posts were so funny I can longer be mad at you. Every village has an idiot and I am glad to have found ours So one person represents the whole group.... hmm interesting... Where is the next Klan meeting? Cat I was going to respond but Rob did well to summarize what I wanted to say. The Plaxico thing? Hilarious! The 15 yards it cost? Well if we had an NFL kicker it probably would have been less remembered. The happy new years? Never have I seen so many people up in arms over a congratulatory wish. The drop against Pitt? Show me an NFL receiver who hasn't dropped a pass. This tweet? I found it funny and not even remotely offensive. So no I don't think he is a "bozo." He is a young multimillionaire who isn't in trouble with the law, doesn't disrespect the team, is a positive role model for kids (no drug allegations, married, never in the news), and plays through whatever injury ails him. All while being the athlete who promotes Buffalo the most. His biggest flaw is *gasp* making jokes.
  15. I will agree with you about not knowing their thoughts on him going forward. I personally saw a light go on this year that made me pay attention to him more as a sunday prospect than a saturday player. Whether that light is all he has and he has peaked (I don't personally believe this) or if there is still room for continued improvement we won't know that answer until he has played in the league. As for my second point that is exactly what I was alluding to. I think Marrone's inner knowledge of a lot of the top qbs in this class helped him land the job. I just wonder if Nassib was well thought of and a potential target. If nothing else it would have landed Marrone an interview to pick his brain. From there who knows - maybe he blew there socks off. I still think Marrone likes Barkley (pure speculation) but that may be me just transferring my feelings onto him. Some random comments have led me to believe that but at this point it could literally be any qb taken by the Bills and I wouldn't be surprised. What would surprise me is if they made it out of the first round without a qb for the future.
  16. As long as that qb is Matt Scott! amirite? I live right outside of Syracuse and noticed a switch on Nassib that led me to believe he could be very succesful at the next level. I really blew him off until this year. He put up numbers but they were empty numbers. This year that changed. This year he was a LEADER. I know it is passe to say look at this film or look at this film. Watch his (almost) comeback against Northwestern. It was the start of him turning the corner. Watch the Louisville game and watch him throw it all over a (then ranked) top 10 team. I think him being from SU has actually worked against both for pundits and tbders. The Marrone connection only strengthens that love or hate (depending on where you fall on the negative nancy scale). It is nice personally to see pundits falling in line with what I thought I saw though. I actually wondered (pure speculation on my part) if Nix/Bills/et. al. really liked what they saw of Nassib and Marrone coming in was due to this factor. Please don't twist my words into saying that Marrone is here bc Nassib will be, it is just something I thought of in passing. He has intimate knowledge of Nassib as well as coaching against a few of the other top prospects. It may not have helped Marrone's cause in becoming coach but it certainly didn't hurt.
  17. I know Bray has been low on people's list of preferred qbs for the draft but I was struck looking at the predraft visit list. The bills worked out 4 wrs that Bray played with. It would seem they are getting first hand knowledge of just how much his "attitude" will be an issue. I could be reading into nothing here but it stuck out to me to say the least. Bray hasn't received nearly as much attention from the board as nassib, smith, Manuel, or Barkley but he has from obd.
  18. Even if they pass a law restricting it nothing will change. I'm a big believer of the law of diminishing laws. (My made up saying). It states that the more people there are the less laws that are enforced. When you're talking 70k the cops care about fights, underage drinking, etc.. They don't and can't care about adults having open containers.
  19. Well if its a correlation to human body part it is a shoulder muscle that makes up part of the rotator cuff. Not sure at all what it means in regards to cow though. Jboyst?
  20. Game day! Lets go cuse!
  21. Love these too. I don't know what they mean either other than to remind myself how far away I am from being a pro athlete! I'm starting to come around on Manuel. He has the size and athletic ability, he's got the smarts, and he's got just as good a shot as any to be the best qb in this draft.
  22. I love that Stevie's tweet thread got 7 pages today while actual football news gets 10 posts in 3.5 hours!
  23. You need to give up this site. Negative Nancy.
  24. 1st tweet: War is nothing to be played with. I apologize North Korea........but if y'all do bomb 1st... Bomb Foxboro, Mass. Sincerely,#BillsMafia— STVN (@StevieJohnson13) April 3, 2013 2nd obligatory people got their pantie's in a bunch tweet: i know some of yall took it too serious.. but i have Much Respect for The Pats along with Every other NFL Team. Gonna to be a Great #NFL2013— STVN (@StevieJohnson13) April 4, 2013
  25. This isn't a professional. He is a KID! At 22 years old if someone nationally assasinated my character with nothing but lies I'm not letting that slide. Hell at 31 I'm not letting that slide. His accusations were completely baseless and contrary to EVERY other report. Let alone the idea that this could cost him literally millions of dollars. How does it show weakness to stand up for yourself? He is in the middle of the biggest job interview of his life and some guy starts taking pot shots at him without ever meeting him. He should just let that slide. I don't follow your "logic" at all.
