Wow, hard to be impressed with Lawyer Milloy after reading that bull sh--.
"But the other part is (making sure) your family is stable after football is all done. You can't feed your family off of Super Bowl rings."
Is this guy telling me that making 4-5 million dollars a year over 8 years is not enough to make sure your family is 'stable?' You have got to be kidding me. Must be rough to have it so hard. Hope I don't have to see Lawyer at the Salvation Army in a few years.
I don't know, I think in football there's much more reason to try go with the big bucks. Your career is always tenuous due to injury and anyone once they make a certain amount of money wants to make more.

The iPod has a certain amount of buffering or shock protection I believe. At least whatever it has, I have never had a problem with skipping unless you count accidently hitting a button when HOLD isn't on.

Software is becoming less and less of a problem. Obviously there is more PC sotfware but OS X makes development pretty easy and what I want is available. Go to http://versiontracker.com and look at the Mac OS X software and you will see what I mean.
In the sense of building your own Mac, yeah it is much easier to do so on a PC. The G5s are pretty constumizable however.
If you are interested in building a Mac, it isn't impossible. See here: http://www.macopz.com/buildamac/

Bought a GameCube off of my sister when she moved to Japan. It's good if you aren't too serious about playing and just want something to entertain folks for awhile. That's how I use it at least.

I liked Trump's new impression of Mortimer Duke.

I've never understood why people here were scoffing at the idea of getting a #2 pick for Travis. Round 2 picks are no where near sure things (and we as Bills fans should know that by now). So why wouldn't teams start lining up for a deal that would get them a proven runningback that runs like a bull, has a chip on his shoulder and costs dirt cheap.
What are you talking about, we have always done well in the second round. Bucky Brooks still has tremendous upside.

Holy, holy, crap. Now I want to keep him on the team!

While the brunt of the responsibility for this should be borne by the drunk, it's questionable at best that you see no responsibility borne by the vendor. This seems a bit too one sided for any arguments sake. Must be nice that the vendor has none, for their sake, at least in your eyes.
Should Ford have shared any responsibility in making Pinto's that were prone to gas tank contents igniting upon a rear end collision? Should the maker's of the Dalkon (spelling?) Shield be responsible for the damage (and deaths) caused by their product? Or do we simply wish to exist in a "buyer beware" society where anything goes? I would hope not.
Sorry, but product liability (manufacturer/vendor) exists for very moral, ethical and logical reasons. What simply doesn't make sense is the size of the awards. Can the little girl be replaced, clearly not. Life itself is the most valuable component of our existance, yet to make it a lottery jackpot, actually demeans life itself. I would favor reasonable limits (good God I sound like GW) on punitive damages coupled with actual damages, with fair and equitable computation of them base upon life, lost wages, etc.
The problem I see with all this really is the size of the award. That, and my heart goes out to the family of the little girl who's life was tragically taken by that scumbag, who as you said, should be erased from the gene pool.
This is not an issue of product liability in my eyes. It was not like the buyer was unaware that alcohol has the potential to make him drunk. Whatever the law says, all of the consequences were his fault alone morally when he began to drink that first drink. Also, last time I checked, beer producers or vendors never tried to claim that they their products don't get people drunk. Companies aren't or at least shouldn't be liable when the risks of a product are known ahead of time.

Drawn-to-Boys, hahaha, what an appropriate name for this thread.
Is Millbank Canadian or something?

Dude, Travis Brown does not suck. The guy has played pretty well in his limited action at QB. It's those damn injuries holding my man back!

This just in...
Sources tell me that George Seifert is going to be tabbed to replace Gregg Williams in Buffalo.

So when like bad discussions get removed, where do they go? Gone forever?

Sometimes it's just their voice and their cadence that makes me like one broadcasting team over another. I think I like Criqui for that reason, despite the many mistakes he makes.
Lawyer Milloy not impressed with the Steelers

Would I take the money that they make over what I make now? Yes, in a heartbeat, but I cannot say that I once I got there that I would like others of lesser talent making more. If it's so easy not to be a greedy **** why are so many players acting in this way? It's natural to want to keep on improving your station no matter how rich you are.
