  1. Tashard Choice is something guys like Kelsay and Fitzpatrick aren't.

     

    He's not complacent.

     

    Choice can be cut at any time. He's got no guaranteed contract. He's not guaranteed to be here next year. He's been cut by several teams because he didn't perform. He's motivated.

     

    These other guys have their contracts. They haven't been benched or cut for being horrible. In fact, they keep starting and playing no matter how horrible they play, no matter if the team wins or loses.

     

    Even Jackson and Spiller can become complacent. At worst, they share carries. It's not like Gailey will ultimately award one of them all the carries and the other one sits indefinetly.

     

    For most of the guys you'd turn to for leadership, there is nothing that *personally* motivates them. They have the money and job security locked up.

     

    It's one of the reasons the Bill up in New England is successful. He's a total *What Have You Done for Me Lately* kind of coach. Players know that if you don't perform, you'll be benched and/or cut, regardless of who you are.

     

    That Sword of Damocles doesn't exist under Gailey.

    "yeah!" say Mooreman, Dwan Edwards and Shawn Merriman.

  2. My cousin, Bryn is a wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Breeze. She was always a great athlete through high school and college. She plays because she loves football, and this is really the only outlet for females to play football. I haven't talked to her much over the past few years, but from chatting with her on Facebook, she loves the LFL and doesn't care about the skimpy uniform; she just wants to play!

     

    I need to talk to her more about it, though. I don't even know if she gets paid or anything. Need to get her defensive teammates to take Angela's head off as revenge for Super Bowl XXVI...

    Breanna Fila?

     

     

     

     

    Yeah - she looks like she is in it for the competitive outlet. :lol:

     

    You know, it's completely legal to marry your first cousin in NY, your sister in Florida, and both in Utah.

     

    Edit:Oops - my bad - I assumed because Breanna is from Buffalo!

     

    Bryn Renda. Maybe she is in it for the competition. You should get her to introduce you to Breanna.

     

    By the way, did anyone notice the quarterback is white? Must be one of Ralph's racist buddies owns the team.

  3. Yet you changed your wording to "ellipsis." I know that this has to do with correct word usage and spelling rather than punctuation; I was just pointing out an error that you had made.

    And your first sentence is not complete; it is actually a clause. And an ellipse really isn't a geometric figure, it's closer to trigonometry. And calling it a curve is disingenuous - it is a line curved so much that its ends meet.

  4. An "ellipse" is different from an "ellipsis"; the former is a geometric curve, and the latter is a form of punctuation, which you used.

    No **** sherlock - you misunderstood - I said elipse is a word, but it's spelled ellipse and has nothing to do with punctuation.

     

    Speaking of Sherlock, did you hear that he and Ralph are racists? They belong to the same Klan.

  5. Weren't the 31 other NFL teams forced to abide by the same rules? I heard we don't have enough flat screens in the weight room.

    What does that have to do with what our players did with their free time during the off season when the new S and C guys weren't able to work with them and hadn't had an off season to work with the players since being hired?

     

    I am the furthest thing from an apologist for this abysmal excuse for a professional football team, but laying their current injuries woes at the feet of S and C guys who have barely had a chance to work with the current players is going a little to far.

  6. In the last 20 years, the "big hit", helmet to helmet hits and shoulder tackles have worked their way into the game to the point where almost no one uses a form tackle anymore. Form tackles don't end up on ESPN - those huge hits do, and that's what kids mimic, and those kids are now college and pro players. Everyone wants to see themselves on ESPN.

     

    Harrison and his ilk are predators - he isn't looking to tackle, or even end up on ESPN - he is looking to put a guy out of the game. You think its a coincidence he keeps doing it to quarterbacks?

     

    The game isn't softer by taking out predatory hits, its just re-emphasizing the types of tackles that were common place for the first 80 years of the sport's existence.
