I know I'll regret posting this, but here goes. While causes the ACLU takes up occasionally elicit shocked and horrified reactions (i.e., "how could they support the rights of that monster") the bottom line is we should all be thankful they do what they do. As soon as someone invents the crystal ball that is 100% foolproof in determining anyone's guilt or innocence, we need organizations like this to protect the overzealous from stepping upon the individual freedoms of citizens. Those rights are what supposedly make us "better" than any other industrialized nation.
I agree 100%.

After viewing these damning and truly disgusting pics I can safely say that my opinion of Golden Corral is completely unchanged.
Ditto. Other than the food being disgusting, the clientele make it more of a "try to eat without puking before you leave" than an "all you can eat," restaurant.
Unless, of course, you like seeing obese poor people with no underwear wearing sweatpants with open toe sandals.
!@#$ing gross.

I guess your point is that even if Kolb excels in preseason, we should still start EJ. If we don't, it proves our coaches don't have balls.
I disagree.
Never forget - JaMarcus Russell was a first round draft pick.
I don't think we should hand the job to EJ just because he played well in college and got picked in the 1st round. Just like preseason, that proves nothing. Lots of collegiate stars crash and burn in the NFL.
When Marrone said it was an open competition, I think he was honest and I think he was right. I don't want us to pull an Al Davis and start EJ for 3 years just because we used a high pick on the guy. I wan
EJ to earn the job by beating out Kolb. If he can't beat out Kolb in a fair competition it probably means EJ just isn't NFL material. On top of that, EJ won't earn the respect of his teammates if he's just handed the starting job. They'll rally around him, though, if he earns his starts.
Actually my point is that Kolb has proven, time and time again, that he sucks. Therefore, it would be asinine to believe he will somehow be better this year. And yes ... if the Bills don't start Manuel out of the gate, they either lack balls, smarts or both - in my opinion.
This isn't sitting Eli behind a future HOF QB in Kurt Warner. Or sitting Rodgers behind Favre. It's closer to P. Manning being drafted by a team with no other viable starting QB. Kolb is a backup. Kolb is worse than Fitz ever dreamed of being.
I'd much rather take a chance on the unknown, than to move into a direction of imminent (and historically proven) failure.

How do you guys get the time to listen to all this new music??
Grooveshark or youtube ... I listen with headphones while I'm working.

Chris Knight: "The Trailer Tapes."
sonafa ... here might well be the absolutely most under-rated albums to come out over the past 7 years. dag-um this is good. it's sparse and sad and just about every song is perfect. this album is essentially what Mellencamp always wanted to record, but failed.
the lyrics are mean and angry, jumping out at you over the understated emphasis of a simple acoustic guitar.
i happened upon Knight quite a while ago, and after sampling a few of his albums on itunes, i wound up taking a shot at this one. my god, this is good. it jumps genres, more rustic than country. but it's not folksy. it picks up a hillbilly trail that Steve Earle has well mined.
"Rita's Only Fault," is something right down Earle's alley, or Mike Cooley's, or Isbell's.
couldn't resist but recommend. this is a must have.
jw
Listening to this album right now (5 songs in) ... "Rita's Only Fault," is a great song. I pictured Springsteen whilst listening to it, more so than Earle. All other tunes (so far) I hear a lot more Earle.
He's a very good lyricist/storyteller.
Thanks for the recommendation.

They should have known about him well before they put him in those video games.....
So EA Sports should never put someone who could possibly get into trouble with the law in their video games? The games would have to be 3-on-3 sandlot football games. Where were all the threads saying Aaron Hernandez is going to end up murdering someone? If it was that easy to predict, don't you think there would be a lot less murders?
-
What does it say that the Aaron Hernandez thread will likely hit 100 pages and this one will never see Page 2?
-
They should run together as the Weiner-Spitzer ticket, yah?
I wonder what Boehner would have to say about it.

"It drastically diminishes chances for rehabilitation. And according to some studies, prisoners released directly from supermax confinement have significantly higher recidivism rates."
Yes, because the kinds of people found in maximum security prisons, especially those in solitary confinement, are highly unlikely to commit another crime once out of prison.

For perspective on what a trainwreck that team was... i just saw the stat that in 2008 UF had 120 players including walkons, and that roster has accounted for 41 arrests already
thats not to tie anything to hernandez here, just a statistic that i think reflects the type of program he ran.
College football should be played by college students. College students who are smart enough to attend college. College students who have acceptable attendance and grades in courses that are part of a degree program.
There needs to be a place for aspiring NFL athletes to play football without blocking aspiring college graduates from school.
That place needs to be affiliated with the NFL and the aspiring players should be paid. Different topic for a different day, but it makes me sick that this gangsta got a "college education," while someone else - smart enough, but not rich enough - didn't.

What a fantastic story. Thanks for sharing.

A doctor would probably say its not wise but yes you can. They will bleed a little. You can also freeze them using the OTC product for freezing warts.
Knew a guy who used to "choke" them with thread. He'd just tie the thread around the tags and in a day or two, he claimed they just fell off.

I don't trust that Kolb knows his role.
Kolb - in his mind - believes he is a starter in the NFL; not a back-up.
Unfortunately, every chance he's had to prove it, he's failed. Miserably.
Guess who else has always played behind a horrible O-liine ... Ben Roethlisberger. That Super Bowl champion guy.
Don't give me excuses. Give me results.
EJ needs to start from day one. And if Kolb pulls any Flutie crap (dividing the locker room) then he should be cut the first day he pulls it.

Looks like a predictable crowd with 20/20 hindsight has taken to blaming Urban Meyer for enabling Hernandez to become a killer. God I hate people sometimes.
:wallbash: Pathetic. I'm no Urban Meyer fan and I despise all sports programs for Florida, Florida State and Miami - - - but to say Meyer was an enabler is ridiculous.
If Hernandez ended up with a HOF career, Meyer and Florida would have been heroes and miracle workers in the same eyes as those calling them enablers.

The agent has a say for sure, he's just not the guy in control. The team and player have more affect in my opinion
I agree, Bandit. If Byrd wants to be a Bill, he will make it happen. If he wants more money (today's NFL), he can make that happen, too.
Any team allowing any player or agent to hold them hostage deserves what they get.
I'm trusting the Bills Brass to do the right thing.

The entire world is close to this tipping point.
There is madness and evil all around.
Hatred, envy, and fear are powerful emotions.
Helter Skelter.

!@#$ you, shitburger. Not three days ago you were arguing that Zimmerman was criminally negligent, which is entirely disagreeing with what I posted.
"@#$ you, shitburger," is - quite possibly - the funniest sentence I've ever read on this board.

I'm still hanging on to MLB and NFL not being fixed. It would surprise me if pageants were NOT rigged.

Nope; if i was that much of a creep, why would I be hear with a bunch of old dudes who are passionate (more or less) for this snakebitten team!?
Other than Beerball, I have no idea who you could be talking about.

i am not a celtics fan but i think brad stevens, while risky, is a great move. i view this move similarily to how i view marrone in buffalo. seems to be a grat coach with substance over style and gets his players to excel. may not be playoff this year, but will be sooner rather than later
Agreed on both fronts. Substance over style is "where it's at."

actually it is because the point I'm trying to make is don't just throw a kid out there and expect him to perform. that's a good way to kill someone's confidence fast. and brett favre was on the decline. the pack was 4-12 Rodgers first year as a backup so it wasn't like favre was doing so amazing that they couldn't turn to their 1st rounder. but that's not the point. the point is I don't think they need to rush things with EJ. if he's not ready then he's not ready
The Mannings' confidence seems to be okay.
And if any QB loses confidence as he develops, the team who drafted him in the first round made a mistake.
And if EJ isn't ready by the time week 1 comes around, then the Bills made a mistake.
I, personally, think he will be ready. I just hope the coaching staff has the balls to put him in, regardless of how Kolb does in OTAs and preseason. Never forget - Trent Edwards was a Pre-Season Hall of Famer.
