GMs don't make mistakes? Then how do they get fired? Also, I didn't know that hiring in the NFL was a meritocracy. People on this board who would know better probably will never be discovered. That is life: the best talents are often never discovered.

Apparently the Vikings wanted him anyway.

Didn't he like completely suck? I heard he only rushed for like 12,000 yards or something? Pa-thetic. Obvious, all those teams were right about his knee...

Please.... come back in three years and then decide if this was a good pick. Just because team's passed him by does not mean he's not worth it. Need we list the players who dropped from the top ten during the draft and then had great careers?

I thought they had two third rounders including one towards the top of the round.

George Seifert will replace Gregg Williams as coach of the Bills...

I am looking for a new fan club since my Bradford Banta Bonaza Brigade had to disband.

OROY: JP Losman. Oh wait, he's not a rookie? But people keep on saying that the Bills are making a mistake starting a "rookie" QB.

I figured it might be, but having just been through the whole college, first job thing... it's amazing how many people are not aware that you do not ask for salary info until after an offer is made. It's not obvious to everyone.

Are you trying to have him not get an offer?

He's still visiting the Bills in my heart.

Either Clements performs awesomely in his contract year and we reap the benefit this year but he flies the coop next year or he plays all right and we can afford him. Either possibility seems like a win for the Bills.

Hmm.. I should have probably calculated that percentage before I put it up there. Let me do the math... All right, if we are talking 1 billion, then... 0.003%

Give the rich more money? Don't you mean dropping the estate tax is just taking less money from the rich? Or is all property owned by the government? Are we just leasing it or something?

Don't worry, I am working hard to build my fortune. I am almost 0.5% there!

I have changed my mind: we should keep Clements. Worry about next year later. If we are trading him, we would be trading him for a draft pick who probably won't really contribute until the end of this year or the beginning of next year. I am tired of waiting for the playoffs. I want them now.

That's a rather bold prediction. You are just explaining why the cable companies make it the case, not really demonstrating that it is impossibe to change. Congress could easily use its regulatory power to force the A La Carte option. Yes, people would pay per more per their channel if this was availible but some people pay $30 for a expanded cable when they only want one or two extra channels. A lot of these folks would be willing to fork over 5 or 6 dollars for ESPN rather than foot the bill for the whole expanded service. Just like although buying Word and Excel seperately is more expensive per program, many people rather buy the program they want than foot the bill for the entire office suite.

Loseman?

You know.. when I think about it.. the crap you just pulled is sort of like the following: Person A: "People shouldn't hunt cats" Person B: "What, you're implying that it's okay to hunt dogs?"

I think that could go without saying...

This is a special kind of evil and why we need the death penalty. I mean, how can you look at a little girl and want to do this?

Or at least go back to that color scheme...

Wait, is this the Pope election thread?

I asked her if she would leave Iowa. She said it would cost $200 more + expenses. I am impressed. She's quite the entrepreneur.
