I usually do not say this in critiquing other folks draft, but you are screwed! LOL! You should not have taken Payton that early. With the #5 you could have picked up ports, alexander, james, or SOMEBODY. Qb's are a dime a dozen (in fantasy value terms).
So you sacrifced a huge value drafting slot for a low value position. Mif mistake. Is this your first fantasy draft?

send me a PM please - thanx!

Drew didn't look like the "Munster Character" depicted in the cartoon last night. I am very happy with how they are using drew thus far - though Mularky had better keep that remote control handy, just in case.

I tried to NOT respond to this, and your other idiotic post. My failure to resist is an admitted lack of discipline. Oh well, nobody is perfect.
You sir, are an utter jerk-off. stevestojan heads like you and your scummy ilk are compromising the safety of my friends, family and community.
Do you know that two persons were arrested today for conspiracy to blow up subway stations, a police station, and other places in NYC? Do you care (other than to defend those who would do so)?
While these naked, diseased psychotics are draining police resources, people are plotting to kill us.
I believe in the right to protest, and have participated in demonstrations. That said, this is NOT the time to drain NYC of the people it needs to protect us. There are douchebags following police officers with camcorders in order to film police officers being "rude" to nude nuts. I guess this makes you happy, but to me, it makes you an enemy to the safety of our country, and again, a douchebag. A weak, silly, idealistic douche.
One last thing...In the 80s, there were Gay S&M bars in NYC. They had fitting names such as "Ramrods" and "The Meat Rack."
In one of these places, there were stockades, into which men locked themselves with their pants down. Can you imagine the rest? At the time, Gay activists blamed AIDS on Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr. Sound right to you?
These nude protestors are of a similar ilk, and they will sicken American voters. This, ever so sadly, is a huge base of the democrat party to which I am sure you cling. Truth be told, your stalwart, "Ketchup Kerry" is a billionaire.
I merely offer the above as proof that you are a mislead, weak, mean, mentally unsound, non-caring fool.
You are also a loser, and a scumbag.
nice to meet you too .
I understand your elloquantly stated point. However, lets look at this from the other point of view - when the RNC announced that they would hold their convention in NYC - they were criticized because they were bringing a huge political event that would be a magnet for controversy. It is simply unamerican and unrealistic to think that a major political event can take place, in controvertial and polorized times, and not bring dissent, glamor, spin, and - yes, danger. So your blame of just the activists is clouded by your warped political outlook. When they chose the venue they knew what they were getting into.
P.S. your depiction of the gay rights movement is about 20 years outdated.

Ummm.....If I remember my training...You cannot impede the public....I agree you cannot pepper spray a non-violent individual...But you can be arrested for impeding public progress. If you turn resistive..you can be pepper sprayed or worse. I don't know what some of you people think...Protesting is fine...but escalating to violence will be met with a swift reponse. If you think it's easy being a police officer try being one at one time....Your job is to protect the public, but protesters make it difficult to distinguish between the right for free speech and public safety. ...Peaceful protests are fine...It's when they start throwing things or not listening to the officers orders things get ugly.
right, you can deploy certain tactics to deal with non-compliant people. However, there is an escalating line of tactics that police must employ. Police can not act without restraint in any way they like. Under some logic posted in this thread the police would be justified in shooting a person engaged in NONVIOLENt civildisobediance.
However, I know they can NEVER deliberatly run over people with a police van - a mortorcycle - arrest people for standing on a sidewalk for using a cell phone - place them into cages BEFORE they do anything - etc, etc.
Again, read the report above, this is what I am talking about.

Civil Disobedience is still disobedience. Their rights stop where other people's rights START. As far as I'm concerned, those people blocking traffic were putting people's lives at risk. What if emergency services personell needed to get through there to get someone to the hospital or respond to a 911 call?
If you want to protest or pray or whatever, do so peacefully and non disruptively.
If not, you get what you get.
Wrong, you are giving license to police to do whatever they want - this is dead wrong. They, as state actors, must act in a Constitutional way. IF ANYONE breaks a law, they have to act in a certain way. For example, if you are caught speeding, they are not allowed to come up to your window and pepper spray you in the face. Similarly, if folks are committing civil disobeince, the police are allowed to take any action WITHIN their powers. Using thier vehicle's as weapons and intimidation deveices are not within thier powers.
Read - or skim - the report I listed above. It will give a better understanding of what is happening in AMerica. This goes WAY beyond civil disobedience - which is a marginal tactic. This goes to the very notion of your right to dissent. Read it.

oh, i didn;t see it last week - but it is funny.
I love Deon Sanders in that!
Also, the name of the reporter, "Harry Sphinter!"

These are great cartoons from footballguys.com. For a cartoon featuring Drew Bledsoe and Mike Mularky click on "AFC Preview." THough you should click on all of them - there is one that features a great news interview with Ricky Williams!

Report on Erosion of First Amendment
This is a great report on how authorities have spit on the first amendment. They see it as a threat.
-
She was standing in the street - in fact she was in a line of people who were blocking the street praying. The van pulled up to the line, paused, and then ran through the line. PEople were tossed like bowling pins!
And to the bastard that doubted "my account" - :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: - I had nightmares about that scene for months afterwords. I also saw people run over by police motorcycles.
The woman and the others WERE BREAKING THE LAW - civil disobedience like Rev. Matin Luther King, Jr. and Ghandi - however, the police response was not lawfull. There is an escalating level of response that they must follow. AND UNDER NO CICUMSTANCES DOES IT ALLOW FOR BOWLING OVER PEOPLE WITH A AUTOMOBILE! That sounds a bit like something we see in other countries, and that scares me.
And to others who say that the protestors start the violence - :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: - I have been pepper sprayed and tear gassed - I have been arrested for possessing a cell phone! I have had friends who were arrested for standing a corner with a walkie-talkie and had their bail set at $1,000,000! I have seen these things. There will be 250,000 people in NYC protesting - and over 249,000 will be peacefull protesters exercising their right to protest and asking the government to adress their grievances.
I want a country that allows protest - and responses to protests from governments is scary. When did our founding fathers invision a day when dissenting citizens would be placed in pens, and cages that are called "free-speech zones" in our Orwellian world! Even if you disagree with all my politics this MUST disturb you. This is a trend that must stop.
As Ty said in Caddyshack: "this isn't Russia is it? No I didn't think so."

This guy is too funny to be real - he has to be a made up caller. Everytime he calls, every host, bar none, lets out a deep sigh - as though the host is getting ready for the most insane point.
Even if the Bills won the Superbowl he would be pissed!

OHHHH! I read the thread topic quickly and I thought this was the Rickey Williams thread!

First, you all have no idea what you are talking about. I have helped ot organize these protests and I have gone to the protests. I have provided free legal counsel to those who are arrested. I never got paid once! People have lost jobs standing up for thier convictions - though those convictions may be different than your own.
Second, I have witnessed police provacateurs instigate violence. I have seen a police van deliberately run through a line of protestors that included elderly women and clergy members. I have seen deliberate attempts to stomp on our first amendment rights through official policy and police enforcement tactics.
While you whine on this messege board and do NOTHING about your convictions, others are willing to give up their liberty, jobs, reputations, and personal safety for theirs. Many of these "slackers" are veterans of our military, who have risked much for their convictions in the military and will do so on the streets in NYC.
Flame away - but you spite what you should respect! :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:

Miami Wants William to Say "I am Sorry."
I think we all suspected the real reasons for him leaving, but this could be the most selfish player outside the NBA.

I find it amazing that BW3 actually EXISTS in Buffalo... Who the hell would go there when there's tons of other REALLY GOOD wing places around town?
I go there in Minnesota because there aren't very many good wing places, and even fewer that are close to me. But in Buffalo? Puh-lease.
CW
their wings suck @ss! that is true, but all I need in a good sports bar are multiple projection TV's, many other TV's so that every NFL game is showing, and a good selection of brews. That, they got.
-
Go down Elmwood Ave and walk into Casa di Pizza. They have the best wings in town in my opinion (ask for them extra crispy). Also, Elmwood will give many options of things to do.
Anchor Bar is a great "novelty stop" but they certainly do not have the best wings in town.
-
For fantasy football geeks like me, Damon's and Buffalo Wild Wings are great! At least 5 large projection TV's with many other TV's with every game within view from almost every seat.
What do you all think?

Nice! I have a new son who just turned four weeks old today - the stewie character now hits a little too close to home when my son is screaming non-stop. I now wonder what he is REALLY thinking.
-
Stewie is my favorite character. He is a Meglomaniac Ideologue with a serious Oedipal Complex! My favorite quote by him is:
"Damn you, vile woman! You've impeded my work since the day I escaped from your wretched womb."
