  1. They use to say the NFL is a copy cat league- I think the Bills defense will take cues from the Giants defense while our offense will take cues from San Fran and New England.
  2. I always find right-wingers charge of Libs being emotional funny since right-wingers live on fear and anger.

  4. Really Like the Limey and Kiss kiss bang bang I don't think any of these are obscure as such but I find most young people haven't seen North by Northwest or Three days of the Condor and Memento, Ninth Gate, Malice, and "Lock Stock and two smoking barrels" are movies that probably didn't enjoy great box office success but a lot of people enjoy.
  5. If the only survivors were Israelites than the whole world is populated with Israelites in which case Israel is filled with my relatives sucking on the U.S. foreign aid tit and behaving badly.
  6. dunce!!! you do not have two humorous bones in your body, you have two humerus bones in your body and while you are not funny you are funny looking.
  7. I wouldn't worry about the draft picks as much as the 19-20mil a year contract- while I think it's possible to find around 7-8 million (Kelsay, Spencer, Edwards,) without damaging the team too much I don't think you can find 20 mil without cutting to the bone. The other things I remind people of is that DB's supporting cast in Buffalo is at least a small step down from NO and can DB play at a high level in all the possible Ralph weather conditions?
  8. The oil find in ND will be an economic boon for a while- Oil workers will need house built and for a while there will an increase in construction, and the infrastructure improvements that go with it- there will also be a need for increased public and private services- but if ND does not entice or develop other industry at the same time as this boon then there is a bust waiting on the other end- in 15-20 years the oil industry in ND becomes mature and only needs about 25% of the work force to maintain operations as they needed for it's development, as the oil workers leave it has a domino effect in construction then services. As jobs leave then property prices decrease and so does the tax base- you are now in a downward cycle-not inevitable but without proper planning a good possibility ie resource curse (paradox of plenty).
  9. A king has his reign ...and then he dies...it's inevitable.
  10. I'd say that there are a greater number of conservatives on PPP and that the conservatives here post with greater regularity but it is now a bit more balanced than 6 months to a year ago- it's not surprisingly it's a mostly male bastion but also an older crowd (when I was in my twenties I'd say about 80% of my peers followed the NFL pretty closely now I'd say of my nephews generation less than half care very much). As for the rest, this is not a place where you are going to get much traction with a nuanced argument, better to pick a side and blast away- fence straddlers (Adam) are more likely to take fire from both sides rather than be lauded as the voice of reason. Lastly it's amusing how your relative place in a group colors how you label yourself before I stumbled onto PPP I'd have said I'm a centrist maybe slightly right of center because in my work (Education/Human Services) that where I fell, but after PPP I know I'm a true far left Marxist Maoist commie pinko lib.
  11. Christians were great when they were around, then they got snatched away in the rapture just like Harold Camping said they would, of course there were so few actual disciples of Jesus no one noticed their disappearance.
  12. I think the Bills keep 9 Hairston Levitre, Wood, Urbik or Reinhart but not both, Pears Glenn, Jasper, Asper, Sanders Practice squad- David Snow, James Carmon, Keith Williams
  13. I think we have enough talent at WR that someone will emerge but if some said you have to go all in to win this year and there is no tomorrow I'd try to get and sign Mike Wallace.
  14. Base defense Platoon 1 M.Williams, Dareus, K. Williams, Anderson Platoon 2 K. Moore , K Heard, J Gilbert, Merriman Carrington will come in as both DT and LDE LBs Morrison/Bradham Sheppard Barnett CBs Gilmore, A. Williams Safeties Wilson and Byrd Giant's style same Dlines LBs Scott, Barnett, Merriman CBs Gilmore, A.Williams, S Wilson, Byrd Variation 1 2 LBs Barnett, Merriman 3 CBs Gilmore, Williams, McGee 2 Ss Wilson Byrd variation 2 1 LB Merriman 4 CBs Williams, Gilmore, McGee, McKelvin, Brooks/Rogers 1 S Searcy
  15. He will play H-Back which is kinda a hybrid between fullback and TE - and what I think is crazy is a fullback position where the guy just blocks and is absolutely no threat as either a runner or pass catcher- I'll sacrifice a little blocking for a guy who can either split out or run routes out of the backfield.
  16. He'll be an H-back
  17. So you think foreigners should participate in the American political process- what a unpatriotic fool you are, I'm sure you can't wait for the Chinese to figure it out, you don't have to spend trillions to compete with the American military just spend a couple hundred million buying American politicians. Wow I knew Alaskan's were less educated, had high rates of drug use and high rates of rapes and other sex crimes but I didn't know they were unpatriotic as well- you learn something new on PPP everyday.
  18. I assume that he's giving up his ability to participate in the U.S. political process in which case I call it a win-In fact I hope they throw a parade and get a couple thousand guys just like him to leave.
  19. I think the the Bills have good competition at every position- but I'd say NFL quality 4-3 LBs is the area of greatest unknown, which is understandable in a 3-4 to 4-3 change over, I think the Bills are very happy with Barnett and Sheppard but there's going to be a big fight over the other OLB position.
  20. If Glenn has to be your LT then he has bust potential but at the very worse he backs up LT, LG, RG, RT at a very high level and only because Hairston, Levitre, Urbik, and Pears are playing lights out. Does Gilmore have bust potential? yeah but only because all CBs have bust potential it's probably the hardest position to play because so much is out of your control- but my take is that the Bills defensive line is probably going to help Gilmore feel pretty comfortable and be pretty successful in his Rookie year.
  21. The Bills have added a lot of top tier athletes to the team- some are proven football players and others are not but putting football aside who are the Bills best athletes- this is my top 5 ranking-note I'm using pre-injury out of college Merriman 1. Mario Williams DE 6,6 295lbs forty time as low as 4.66 40,1/2 VJ bench 35 2. Fendi Onobun TE 6,6 255lbs forty time 4.48 11,1 BJ 20yd shuttle of 4.15 3. Shawn Merriman DE 6,4 270lbs forty time 4.64 40 VJ 4. Mark Anderson DE 6,4 255lbs forty time 4.61 42 VJ 5. Dorrin Dickerson FB 6,2 226lbs forty time 4.40 43,1/2 VJ Honorable mention Jarron Gilbert, Marcell Dareus, Michael Jasper, Cordy Glenn, and Ryan Fitzpatrick (49 Wonderlic mental super athlete) anyone I missed? do you have a better ranking?
  22. Don't know about 5-2-3-1 but the giants play a 4-3-4 that can turn into a 5-1-5 they use Mathias Kiwanuka 6,5 267 at LB/DE and play Jacquian Williams 6,2 223 a small fast LB who can drop like a safety. The Bills could probably do something similar with Merriman and Scott/Searcy if they wanted to.
  23. Uncle Eugene still dead? Don't cry Lyle Lovett wrote this beautiful song about your family http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWtaKSzSJEU&feature=related
  24. Well I guess it's over now - maybe the opposition should just concede now to avoid further embarrassment- Walker is the Borg and resistance is futile so says the PPP right-wing hive mind- but you know some crazy Lib types might speculate that because their crazy lib outrage is anti-Walker rather than pro- any particular Democratic candidate that the notoriously lazy Lib types might not care which candidate comes out of the Democratic primary saving all their America destroying energy for June's election.
  25. Ron Paul- more rouge than Palin could ever dream of being- anyone who both the left and the right try marginalize can't be all bad.
