  1. Turned 42 back in January. I've been on a pretty regular walking regimen for about a year. A lap around my neighborhood is .75 miles. A couple weeks ago, I thought I'd run it once around. I made it without stopping and felt pretty damn good about myself. Dreams of 5K races and 1/2 marathons were running through my mind.

     

    Then I woke up then next morning. And the next 14 mornings after that. My left leg felt like it was stabbed repeatedly with a dull butter knife, then stomped on for good measure.

     

    I don't anticipate ever running again. Ever.

    You sound a lot like a guy that doesn't know what he's talking about. There are experts just like yourself in the City of Oakland that waited with baited breath for Jamarcus Russel to start. Be careful what you wish for, sir. It is entirely possible that EJ will not work out. Do I want this to happen?.....no freakin way Bro. I was all over EJ to be drafted by us. BUT.....if he looks like a fish out of H2O in preseason he needs to ride the pine. Make no mistake about it, Kolb is a good QB and I'm damn happy we picked him up.

    You have the most natural ability to be a dick. Just saying.

  3. There are some sections of Waterville Road/Route 10 that are curvy, and if you are going fast, and especially if you're on something, are impossible to navigate safely.

     

    The Pats should have known all of this. If they didn't, shame on them.

    Shame on them if they knew this guy was a troublemaker who COULD get into trouble? The NFL is full of those. It's not like the Patriots knew AH a) ever killed anyone or b) ever was going to kill anyone.

     

    If people are going to call the Patriots a "bad organization" for drafting Aaron Hernandez, then those people should be prepared to add many/if not every team to the same list.

     

    I agree there is no mystical "Patriot Way" that keeps players in check. However, I also acknowledge that I remember very few Patriots making news for either running their mouths or getting into trouble. I can think of many teams whose players have gotten into more trouble and have had more bad press ... including the Bills.

  4. I understand having a low opinion on Kolb but I don't get Jackson. Any time I saw him play he was more a runner than passer and not a good one.

    Oh, don't confuse me with thinking that Jackson is a high quality QB (I can see where you would think I think that, though). I just shiver when I think of Kolb taking the field. I just think that Jackson is a better QB than Kolb and I'd feel more secure with Jackson backing up Manuel.

  5. Actually the bolded part is the only reason I could see for having him at all. Insurance policy in case they did not get a QB they wanted in the draft, Once they secured Manuel they no longer had a need for TJax.

    My only reservation is that if they wanted a veteran backup, why keep Kolb and not Jackson? In addition to sucking, Kolb is also fragile. I want EJ Manuel to start immediately. Even if Jackson was still on the roster, I'd want Manuel to start. I'd just feel better having Jackson a) mentoring him and b) backing him up.

     

    I see zero good coming from Kolb being on the roster.

  6. I think it was a disagreement between Buddy and Chan...jmo. Having said that, I don't think he's a good QB.

    I don't think he's a great QB, but there's no reason to believe he wasn't the best QB on the roster last year ... and quite possibly would have been this year, too. He's better than Kolb. I believe that with 100% certainty.

    Maybe the point is to allow people to hide their head in the sand, and let fans pretend it's "family entertainment", I don't know.

     

    Drug use in football is rampant. PED's, painkillers, and "post-game relaxants" are used and abused at both the college and pro-level. Hernandez is not an aberration in this matter.

    Aaron Hernandez murdered someone, execution-style. That's not the same as Brett Favre getting hooked on Vicodin.

  8. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly 'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?" And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench.
