Awfully small sample size in this study isn't it? This thread was started on a study with exactly opposite results, man science is confusing... If only I still had those 8 iq points....

What's the official word on compensation?

It looked like he already tweaked it and went down. It just happened to be right in front of the d, I could be wrong (it has been know to happen). I think Keller and Harris are arguably their 2 most important players. Harris is the qb of that d and with the decline of scott prob their best defensive player. Keller is a safety blanket for either qb and a Bills killer. Now Santonio has NO ONE to take coverage away from him, as well as negating the underneath stuff. Jets fans better hope neither of these are serious but the silence on Harris generally isn't a good thing.

Yep I will agree. Thigpen was/is clearly not the answer. He was 3rd string on the dolphins! Just because he had 1/2 of a good year with Chan (sound familiar?) everyone was happy he was signed. Young was a great move imo even if it isn't working out as it was actual effort. I wish they had taken a flier on Dennis Dixon as he has been intriguing to many (myself included) since he had a great last year in college before blowing his knee out. I like this move. It isn't desperation as much as necessity. On top of that they got him for a song. I don't care how much his salary is the Bills are sitting pretty right now in that regard. Hate to say this but I agree 100%. Even the wait and see Fitz homers have to be a little apprehensive. Other than his 1/2 a season last year he has done little to give confidence to the fan base/organization. I understand why people still back him and have hope for him but mine is waning. He just doesn't seem to have the necessary skills. The brain? most definitely. The moxie? sure. The accuracy, arm strength? not to sure about that. The decision making? really not sure about that. Fitz has never had the flash/continued success that even a vy has had in this league. I feel strongly the Bills will be all in on a first round qb next year. Good thing there appears to be a lot of depth in the draft!

Yes a million times yes! This is the drum I have been banging since the news broke. Really Dos Santos/Mir was the last good ppv that was solid from top down. It seems that the strategy is: top fighters are such a draw they have weak undercards. Except pumping out a ppv every 3 weeks has made it so every championship fight is a main event. Barao/Faber is a co-main event at best as is maynard/henderson. They could have combined the 2 and had a much better show imo. Of course they would have made less money but that's not my concern

Sorry it's over but that's the norm (which doesn't make it suck any less). I would have recommended letting go myself and having fun. If she is a keeper your paths will cross again (sometimes you may have to "make" that happen). Meanwhile your in your 20's!!! Go buck wild! Live it up as much as you can and when you find your keeper it'll all work itself out. Mean time have fun trying to find ms. Right(now)

I thought he was scheduled for machida at 152? Did it switch to Belford or as a hypothetical? I think sonnen should be happy that bones didn't take the fight. Publicly he can pump up the next fight by inferring bones ducked him (which may or may not be true) also if sonnen got run by jones quickly his career would have been over. Losing to those 2 would have made him a lame duck in the 2 divisions he is best suited for. I just don't like Dana playing it that way. I don't know if his tone has shifted but when this first happened it was a pretty fierce flogging. The poster above me (phone won't let me multi quote) had a great idea. This event could have happened still, the UFC just couldn't have charged 54.95 for it (have you seen how bad the last 2-3 have been) without a uproar. Advertisers I'm sure could have been pulled together and huge numbers done with a "free ppv" would have been great for the sport. On a complete aside this has quite the funny wwe/wwf Vince McMahon vs. stone cold feel to it lol.

Sonnen jones wouldn't be a bad fight but I don't see why bones had to fight him especially with only 3 days of prep. For the legend he is trying to build it wasn't a risk worth taking imo. I'm fully with bones on this one and again can't believe white threw him under the bus (although bones did cost him a bunch of money lol)

Roid ragin!

No no no please don't buy Dana whites load of bs. Dana has been putting out substandard ppvs almost all year. Instead of charging fans 54.95 every 3 weeks he could space it and offer a better product. One that wouldn't require canceling an entire event bc of the loss of the main event. There were so many solutions that didn't involve scapegoating bones. He could have offered the ppv at a discount - nit paying the top 2 fighters certainly lowered the production cost. Or let the show go on. I am disgusted that Dana white did this and shocked that so many are buying this load of bs. He prepared to fight Henderson and 8 days before the fight (3 of training) that couldn't happen. Everyone is mad at bones but white won't mention the fighters that ducked jones choosing instead to ruin the rep of his second biggest star. Sonnen does not deserve the fight. Bones doesn't deserve the negative press/blame.

He instantly becomes my vote for what bills player ends up on the jets roster.

Yep and my radio apps won't get the feed!

Maybe if Revis didn't demand so much $ they could have signed some playmakers.

I agree with almost everything you posted except I don't think the AFC West will be that weak this year. I think the Chiefs are going to be a surprise team this year. The Chargers and Broncos will be decent and the Raiders are a wild card but tough none the less.

This has been refuted time and again but here is the link anyway. Gronk had the documented back problem in college not Troup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torell_Troup#College_career

Hey they're at the olive bar in wegmans so it works for me. They are my favorite thing at the olive bar "pepper shooters" is the name for them. It's criminal that they cost 7.99 a pound though. Wait can we be the drive home show on wgr now?

Go back under your bridge please. Green olives are better in general but black olives are better on a pizza. That said bacon and banana pepper is about the most gut wrenching and simultaneously best pizza ever. Pineapple is terrible on a pizza but great when fresh cut or in those little fruit cups. Joe W should have a bunch of warning points by now. Schopp and the Bulldog are annoying but its the middle of August which has to be the worst time to be involved in sports journalism (especially when there isn't Brett Favre to jam down our throats). John Wawrow thanks for doing what you do. Don't get chased away like so many others who's opines/facts/news/ posts I enjoy and respect. Lastly (and again), Joe W go back under your bridge please. JW explained the scheduling conflict and why it went down the way it did - sorry it doesn't fit your conspiracy theory but let it go man. For all the good the internet has brought to the world trolling/internet tough guys almost make it not worth it. Damn you Al Gore!

I disagree with this. I think the term franchise quarteback really means a qb you can build your team around which is why it is thrown around so loosely. I think many people confuse it with being an elite qb (analysts specifically). I also think a sb win is not a necessity to be considered either elite or a franchise qb. Winning a sb takes a lot more than a qb (however having an elite one certainly does help.

The car was soon fully submerged, Dernbach said. Another man just off the ferry jumped in the water, smashed open a window with a hammer or some other tool and helped the driver out. Two dogs escaped as well, she said. Some top notch reporting there lol Read more here: http://www.adn.com/2012/08/23/2597925/man-guided-by-gps-drives-off-ferry.html#storylink=cpy

Yep I was going to say Montana too. The west coast offense revolutionized the game. That was the major shift imo from running to passing as Walsh used the short passes as his running game.

maybe they feel like they are struggling because they finally are facing a real d-line in practice?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx5veEyHPr0 This is a short interview that is a pretty interesting take on your point. While playing Alzado thought they were a good idea, however when he got older he realized the error of his way. I'd lean no to legalizing steroids. Cheaters can continue to get caught and suspended.

http://news.yahoo.com/breivik-report-forces-norway-police-chief-quit-204149117.html Basically an independent report came out saying the police could have done more to prevent this attack so the chief resigned. I don't mind the independent reports happening but feel the findings should be kept private. This was one man's fault and one man only. The report should be a teaching tool of what to do if this happens again not a declaration of police incompetence.

fwiw I have been impressed with Heard. Thought he played very well last year and would like to see him get a shot. Unfortunately I think that means carrington (whom I also like) is gone. Moore at this point seems to be a lock and I would be shocked if Johnson or Edwards were cut.

Yep awesome man thanks!
