  1. Thanks , I learn something new everyday https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1980/01/29/macarthur-given-500000/3ad863a3-8caa-4792-b038-d91bb3f804b4/?utm_term=.2b33946c0429 I was stationed in the Philippines ,15 month tour , MacArthur is a national hero there.
  2. Mills got into it with Jerry , now Miller and Poyer. The right side of the line is toughening up this year.
  3. Competition ? QB Shea Patterson Ready to Be Michigan's Savior After Escaping Ole Miss Wreckage His teammates see it. The fans in Ann Arbor, Michigan, do, too. Hell, anyone who follows college football knows this is the deal with the most important transfer of the 2018 college football season. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2788225-qb-shea-patterson-ready-to-be-michigans-savior-after-escaping-ole-miss-wreckage?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_medium=referral
  4. I think McD learned the hard way putting Peterman in at the wrong time. He will not make that mistake with a high draft pick as Allen, I hope.
  5. No surprise Truman fired MacArthur in 1951 over Korea.
  6. No , so they can be bipartisan to bridge democrats and republicans (don't hit me too hard) ?
  7. Canadian man legally lists gender as female to get cheaper car insurance: report A man, identified only as “David” who lives in Alberta, told CBC News that he was given a quote of $4,500 Canadian Dollars for the insurance of a Chevrolet Cruze he wanted to buy. The insurers told him his yearly bill would be around $1,100 less if he was a woman. To take advantage of the lower rates and “beat the system”, David had to legally change his gender on a birth certificate. To do so, he had to acquire a note from the doctor acknowledging his identification as a woman before he could proceed with the change. “It was pretty simple,” David told the outlet about the process of legally changing his gender. “I just basically asked for it and told them that I identify as a woman, or I’d like to identify as a woman, and he wrote me the letter I wanted.” http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/07/30/canadian-man-legally-lists-gender-as-female-to-get-cheaper-car-insurance-report.html ?
  8. Independents have to get their act together
  9. Thanks, I still have a dummy phone , fold that little sucker in half. ?
  10. Joe B said Vlad was looking good at LG so far.
  11. NFL Network's Michael Silver reported Sunday that the contract holdup between Gang Green and Darnold's camp isn't based around "offsets or money payouts," per sources close to the negotiation Instead, the snag centers around forfeiture language, which is standard in most NFL contracts and a parameter the Jets include in all their deals with players. Essentially, forfeiture language allows the team to recoup money if a player is injured while engaging in certain activities outside of football, with Silver offering "skiing" and "mountain climbing" as examples. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000942921/article/sam-darnold-deal-holdup-hinges-on-forfeiture-language
  12. Roquan Smith deal holdup related to new helmet rule The Bears and Smith are at odds over the financial protections in the contract should the linebacker be suspended for such a hit. Suspensions allow teams to void guaranteed money in contracts. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000942843/article/roquan-smith-deal-holdup-related-to-new-helmet-rule
  13. I would think O'Leary is a lock . Gives Logan reps to develop, another TE with potential and good size.
  14. I prefer incentives over guarantees. In return take good care of injured players after they were forced to retire.
  15. I hope Poyer , McCoy and Zay wake up and focus on football. These off field disasters can destroy good careers .
  16. Amazing detail , was surprised how red the US was considering how the popular vote went.
  17. New York to kick Spectrum cable out of state for 'failures to serve New Yorkers' ALBANY, New York (WABC) -- New York announced Friday that Charter Communications, Inc., doing business as Spectrum, is no longer permitted to serve customers in the state. Regulators said that Spectrum, the largest cable provider in New York, failed to comply with several conditions mandated when the state approved Charter's 2016 merger with Time Warner Cable, Inc. Spectrum reportedly failed to meet deadlines, attempted to skirt obligations to serve rural communities and used unsafe practices in the field. As a result, the New York State Public Service Commission revoked the approval of the merger. The cable provider is required to continue operations for 60 more days without interruptions in service, as the state transitions to a successor provider. http://abc7ny.com/business/ny-to-kick-spectrum-out-of-state-revokes-merger-approval/3834286/ Yikes , I have there cable tv , internet and phone , over 100mps
  18. Frank Thomas Croisdale shared a link. 5 hrs An update from Dean (Astro), who is currently traveling: "Will be attending camp August 1, 2, 7, 14 and 15. Looking for tickets for 3, 5, and 12. Will report all on BillsMafia.com and here on (The Original Buffalo Bills Fan Page)and linking to them from Twitter." I know I speak for many when I say that we eagerly await your unparalleled camp breakdowns
  19. Cohen claims Trump knew in advance of 2016 Trump Tower meeting Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, claims that then-candidate Trump knew in advance about the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in which Russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources with knowledge tell CNN. Cohen is willing to make that assertion to special counsel Robert Mueller, the sources said. Cohen's claim would contradict repeated denials by Trump, Donald Trump Jr., their lawyers and other administration officials who have said that the President knew nothing about the Trump Tower meeting until he was approached about it by The New York Times in July 2017. Cohen alleges that he was present, along with several others, when Trump was informed of the Russians' offer by Trump Jr. By Cohen's account, Trump approved going ahead with the meeting with the Russians, according to sources. https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/26/politics/michael-cohen-donald-trump-june-2016-meeting-knowledge/index.html
  20. Thank you for a excellent report NY Nole ? I trust Daboll will get the OL sorted out . This is critical for his QBs to have any chance to develop.
  21. Surprised he was still available at this point. Would be a good pickup. I would think more good players after final cut down so counting on scouting dept.
  22. I'm mainly interested is seeing the OL become viable so that any of our QBs has a chance to develop.
  23. If the Pegulas paid the full cost would they raise prices and PSL to recoup some cost ? If season tickets holders sign on , that's fine.
  24. That's why I don't like guaranteed money in contracts.
  25. Why the name Ed for Ed Force One ? just curious , only saw "after a competition on the band's website" very cool Bruce is a pilot
