According to Beane he wouldn't even have Haskins on his board -- because the board is set up by ranking as impacted by need.

Man, I wish I read that more on this forum!

I hate the song God Bless America. I'd like to see it banned everywhere.

The presence of the phrase "hear me out" in a thread on this forum typically results in my doing the opposite.

I'm the opposite. This draft holds a ton of intrigue and I think Beane will be bobbing and weaving all over the place. Gone are the boring days of the Buddy Nix "we pick in the slot we're in" drafts.

I'm sorry, Jack, but you missed a golden opportunity with the thread title. The catch line of the commercials was "Snap Into A Slim Jim!"

After last week's Winterfell reunion/setup episode things should really pick up this week. Can't wait for the Jaime/Dany/Bran scene.

...and typically that player matches up with a need. It's a humorous topic. People are looking for black and white, when the analysis is nothing but gray. And oh yeah -- GMs lie. A lot.

Yep, this is pretty much me as well.

It's not that you respond...it's that you respond with continuing idiocy, digging in your heels with a position that is ridiculous. Fact: nobody said it was "likely" or "easy" for the Bills to win 12 games Fact: you called a poster who said "12 wins is achievable" crazy Fact: when it was pointed out that calling someone "crazy" isn't cool, you doubled down on your position rather than engaging in reasonable conversation Fact: you've contradicted yourself numerous times since then Really, just give it up. You're not good at this.

This is truth. It's why they basically give it away to their subscribers as well (if you work a little bit for it). I've been a DTV guy for 25 (crap, I'm old) years. I still like it but I'd be happy to switch over to Google TV or something else eventually. When DTV does lose the Ticket, or it becomes available in a reliable way over another platform that doesn't require a DTV subscription, I'll likely switch.

I've found this board brings out the absolutely worst form of stubbornness in some people.

I would very much like to see KC crash and burn.

Is there a ST holder out there who would be willing to assist me with getting some single game tickets? If so PM please.

If I go to a road game this year it will be Nashville. Have to wait for a few other things to sort out before I know for certain.

You're really not making very skilled arguments. 12 teams make the playoffs each year. You're admitting with your numbers above that at least one-third of playoff teams win 12 or more games each season (4.6, to be precise). Usually at least two per conference. In 2011 half of the playoff teams won that much. If we look at the Bills and think they're a potential playoff team, tell me why again it's "crazy" to suggest they might win 12 games? I'll hang up and listen.

The road to recovery for BBFS sufferers is a long one, my friend...

The always isn't the physical dish part -- it's the consistently reliable product part. Until NFL streaming isn't a "pirate" activity subject to interruptions in service and a lot of other hiccups (like not being able to record), people will want Sunday Ticket.

Some people just want to sit down, turn on the TV, and know where the game is without having to scramble around the internet and then "hope" the feed doesn't cut out. Even more so if they have guests over. There will always be a market for services "like this."

I think my expectation of somewhere between 8 and 12 wins was stated very clearly in an earlier post.

I'm done here. Some things just aren't worth the effort.

And who, exactly, did that? The post that got you all hot and bothered said "12-4 is achievable."

Yeah, umm, I think you just don't get it. Calling someone "crazy" for something that isn't at all "crazy" isn't the way to go about this. And by the way, I'm interested in your rationale for 6-10 when the Bills had that record last year with a rookie QB, a less talented team, and harder schedule. If we're talking about crazy....

This is cool. No idea whether or not it helps a team prepare for the regular season, but it's fun for the fans.
