when i say trade, yes, i mean a sign and trade much like we did with peerless. the reason i don't think this is risky is because he's a 25 year old pro bowl qb. how can there not be a market for him? if we got the 23rd pick for peerless, then brees should warrant a top 15 selection.
if they can't for whatever reason get something in return for him, then I would have no idea what to do. that would be a really tough spot for them.
I can only say this: If SD is stupid enough to want to trade Brees, I hope the Bills are smart enough to pick him up.

First and foremost I am a Christian. If one can argue in favor of this they are not. If they don't agree I'll pass on that debate and let you ask your own pastor and see what he or she tells you.
I guess we should have known this was coming since we put the same person who organized and directed death squads in Central America (The same ones that killed the three Catholic nuns).
"What to do about the deepening quagmire of Iraq? The Pentagon's latest approach is being called "the Salvador option"--and the fact that it is being discussed at all is a measure of just how worried Donald Rumsfeld really is. "What everyone agrees is that we can't just go on as we are," one senior military officer told NEWSWEEK. "We have to find a way to take the offensive against the insurgents. Right now, we are playing defense. And we are losing." Last November's operation in Fallujah, most analysts agree, succeeded less in breaking "the back" of the insurgency--as Marine Gen. John Sattler optimistically declared at the time--than in spreading it out."
It goes on to say --
"Now, NEWSWEEK has learned, the Pentagon is intensively debating an option that dates back to a still-secret strategy in the Reagan administration's battle against the leftist guerrilla insurgency in El Salvador in the early 1980s. Then, faced with a losing war against Salvadoran rebels, the U.S. government funded or supported "nationalist" forces that allegedly included so-called death squads directed to hunt down and kill rebel leaders and sympathizers. Eventually the insurgency was quelled, and many U.S. conservatives consider the policy to have been a success--despite the deaths of innocent civilians and the subsequent Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages scandal. (Among the current administration officials who dealt with Central America back then is John Negroponte, who is today the U.S. ambassador to Iraq. Under Reagan, he was ambassador to Honduras.)
Following that model, one Pentagon proposal would send Special Forces teams to advise, support and possibly train Iraqi squads, most likely hand-picked Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and Shiite militiamen, to target Sunni insurgents and their sympathizers, even across the border into Syria, according to military insiders familiar with the discussions. It remains unclear, however, whether this would be a policy of assassination or so-called "snatch" operations, in which the targets are sent to secret facilities for interrogation. The current thinking is that while U.S. Special Forces would lead operations in, say, Syria, activities inside Iraq itself would be carried out by Iraqi paramilitaries, officials tell NEWSWEEK. "
My son died in Iraq in November and he had told me that things there were detrioriating so rapidly that he and his unit had considered the war all but lost. I guess this is a sign that things really are getting desperate over there if has to come to this.
This President is destroying everytihng Reagan, his father and all the came before him accomplished for my party. What a sad day this that we must become what we despise, what we ourselves are fighitng -- murderers.
Good, it takes a rat to kill a rat. And furthermore:
I think we OUGHT to use Shiites and Kurds to wipe out the Sunni resistance.
It's THOSE people that stand in the way of a democratic Iraq. Note that the overwhelming majority of suicide bombers and resistance people come from Sunni-controlled areas. Maybe we should let the Shiites repay the debt of half a century to the Sunnis. Let em run rampant in Sunni neighborhoods.
Note that El Salvador is a MUCH better place today by using such a bloody strategy. Iraq can be too.

Going back ten years (1994 - 2004 inclusive) the Bills had 105 draft picks, 14 of which were offensive linemen:
04/McFarland, T, #7
03/Sobieski, G, #5
02/Williams, T, #1 and Pucillo, G, #7
01/Jennings, T, #3 and Sullivan, G, #5 (2nd of two 3rd rnd picks)
00/none
99/none
98/Hicks, T, #3, and Allotoy, G, #7
97/Nails. G, #4, and Spriggs, T, #6
96/Zeigler, C, #6
95/Brown, G, #1 and Nutten, G, #7
94/Loucheiy, G, #3 (2nd of two 3rd rnd picks)
I wonder how the Bill's compare to other clubs about drafting OL, and if some tend to use higher picks.
Of course, many variables exist - needs, FA, etc.
I can't believe they let Nutten go.

There is NO justice in football.
Yet another year of seeing our divisional rivals succeed while we fail. Will it ever change?

Very good for stress relief.

In Prague, where i tried it, they take a powdered version of it, add some sugar to the mix and burn it on a spoon, not unlike 'cooking up' heroine. When the mixture reaches melting point you mix it in a glass of water... The effects of this type of Absinthe are ridiculous. I was sick for days and saw things I never want to see again.
That's the shizzle *I* want...
MWAHAHAHA!!

I despise left-coast loonies. If it wasn't for all the freaks I'da moved out there years ago.
