  1. Mike Silver's career is a "LOL"

     

    What I'm trying to say is writing for Yahoo Sports is exactly similar to writing for the Bleacher Report!

     

    But on his bio page he has a picture of himself standing behind Deuce McAllister during Hurricane Katrina clean up in New Orleans! Clearly the guy is big time. [Thumbs down, farting sounds.]

  2. We are planning on getting tickets together this year (I am in New Jersey) and we already know we won't get to all of the games but it's still worth supporting our team! Plus when they make the playoffs we will be there like we were back in the 90's!

     

    You know, that's another great point. When we finally do get back (knock wood), right of first refusal for playoff tickets will be super sweet.

  3. Just bumping this thread for the NC guys in particular. My wife and I live in Durham, NC and are considering season tickets to get back up to WNY for probably 2-3 games, and then sell the rest. Our aim wouldn't be to make a profit, but it would be nice to defray SOME of our travel costs in the long run.

     

    So when you NC guys go up, do you drive or fly? No direct flights from RDU to BUF or ROC is kind of a pain, especially since we'd be traveling with our little boy. Any other thoughts on your experience as season ticket holders in NC?

  4. What's interesting is that a "focus on education" hasn't seemed to hurt the perception of Andrew Luck. He made it clear he wanted to stay at Stanford (most Ivy-like school west of the mississippi) and finish his degree in architectural engineering or whatever, but he's still considered the slam dunk #1 pick. Maybe it's different for QBs?

  5. I don't know much about the guy, but as heralded as he was coming out of high school, I'm surprised he got no serious looks by any college programs. As we learn every March, there are plenty of small schools that show up with some pretty good talent.

     

    Maybe it's something like, if a guy is super smart, recruiters and scouts just assume he won't have the heart for sports. Kind of like that really smart football player who came out of Florida State a few years ago. Dude was a Rhodes Scholar who wanted to take that year at Oxford, and then enter the draft. Even though he had all kinds of talent, his focus on education was viewed as a negative.
