  1. Carrington went on injured reserve during the 2013 season, the final year of his contract. Like Williams, he signed with another team. Lynch was traded, as has been pointed out.
  2. I've seen threads on worst trades, worst draft picks, etc. But unless I missed it and didn't use the search function properly, I've never seen one on worst player cuts. With roster cut downs looming, this year we might be cutting some very good players. Thought it might be fun to look at previous players cut that went on to have long careers with other teams. Surprisingly, I can't think of many, but two stand out. John Parrella, drafted in the second round 1993, played sparingly that year and cut in 1994. He spent 11 more years in the NFL, mostly starting for San Diego and Oakland. Couple guys named Smith and Hansen may have made him expendable. And of course, the one that really stands out was Gary Anderson, drafted in the sixth round of 1982 but cut before the start of the season in favor of Nick Mike-Meyer. Not sure if Mike-Meyer survived the season with the Bills or not, but he was gone by 1983. Bills struggled with kickers until landing Scott Norwood in 85. Anderson went on to play for 23 years and was the all time leading scorer at the time of his retirement. Anyone think of others?
  3. No mention of Booker Moore either (may he RIP)
  4. You're guy just made two really nice putts to go birdie-eagle and tie for the lead
  5. Rickie Fowler gave a nice interview after shooting 81...Tiger refused to speak to the announcers, though he did speak at press conference. Mentioned he kicked Rickie's butt (Tiger shot 80)
  6. is diplomatic when correcting other's posts
  7. Thank you, thought my memory was failing me and sanders retired with outside baggage...saved me from checking out the www. He did play 10 years, which isn't exactly an early retirement for a running back.
  8. reminds me of a saying...there is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill-behooves any of us to pass judgement on any of the rest of us. Class act indeed by Randy.
  9. At least now Brady has a fallback plan...if his career and marriage go into a downward spiral he can always take a page out of OJ's book and write his own - "If I was going to deflate balls, this is how I would have done it"
  10. my 97 year old father looks 10 years younger than Burt
  11. Here is the thing. The last time the Bills didn't have 2 picks in the top 44 was 2005 (outside of last year 2 in the first 41). That is where the "must find starters with first two picks" mentality stems from. Picks 50 and beyond you can hope for immediate impact but realistically you're thinking depth, development, and special teams outside of the top 50.
  12. Rd 2 - Cameron Erving C/OT Florida State - Immediate Depth at Center and Tackle, eventual replacement for Wood Rd 3 - Laken Tomlinson G Duke - Depth and potential starter at guard Rd 5 - Garrett Grayson QB Colorado St - Accurate, need someone who can hit open receivers if no one on current roster can Rd 6a - Nick O'leary TE Fla St - This is where #2 TE is addressed. Blake Bell from Oklahoma if O'leary is gone Rd 6b - Xavier Williams DT Northern Iowa - Will have time to learn and develop behind veteran line. Sure to get a look from Whaley because of last name. Rd 7 - Tony Washington OLB Oregon - Depth and special teams contributor
  13. 1972 Olympics, forward to 17:40 for his entrance into the stadum, takes about 10 seconds for the announcer to realize it isn't Frank Shorter
  14. None. If his wife can't change it herself, she can do the dishes in the dark
  15. Well, you know, I thought he sounded ok, and um, well, you know, not showing any signs of, you know, all the beatings, and um, concussions, he suffered as a pro.
  16. Finds the good in everyone, even cowboys fans
  17. BringBackFergy has the most ingenious ways of working scripture in to threads
  18. to me it is just a landmark to take a right at on my way to the corner of Glenn and Abbott
  19. Move it back to the 5 yard line 1 or 2 pts, do away with the holder
  20. No Bednarik thread complete without his hit on Gifford RIP
  21. Was hoping Blackmon would fall to us and we would get Russell Wilson in the second. With the exception of Luck and maybe Kalil, the top 7 picks of that draft went pretty bad http://www.drafthistory.com/index.php/years/2012
  22. Good for him. 3 years, 7.5M...seems like the kind of guy that will invest wisely and make it last a lifetime rather than end up broke.
  23. I did do some reading on it and decided against it. The Reckless Blood Tonic may have done some good, or maybe it was the prayers others here have offered, but his blood work came back good today...may be going off hospice and on to palliative care. Hope for the best, be prepared for the worst.
  24. Thanks, definitely easier to find than some others, available at GNC.
