    Sure, but historically you don't use a 1st round pick on a QB a year after using a 1st round pick on a QB.

     

    He's 38.

     

     

    They've been linked to the QBs but the belief seems to be waiting until day 2 to bring one in to groom. If you are Brees and they take a QB at 11, you have to wonder what you are doing there.

    Geez, didn't realize he was THAT old.

     

    We really are hitting an end of an era in the NFL. Guys like Big Ben, Bree's, Rivers, Tommy, etc are all going to be gone in a couple years.

    Waaaahhhhhh. did they not know this when they bought there ridiculous outfits?

     

    You know why the roads look the way the look? Because they were designed for cars. Bikes are guests. In general guests need to STFU. Cyclists generally follow few rules and have an excuse for every time they pull some crap like not stopping for stop signs or passing everyone in line at a light because their going up the shoulder they otherwise whine about.

     

    How hard can it possibly be to wheel your Schwinn around a jogger for Pete's sake? This dude had to ring his little bell and do some sort of bottom feeding power trip. Now he is in the paper for getting his ass kicked. Can you imagine if this country was full of guys like this in the lead up to WW2?

     

     

    Happens every day, every where. Then they go home and go on Facebook and complain about guys like you that were trying to get to work on time.

    If the roads were meant for cars, why are bikes considered motor vehicles? That insinuates they are more than guests.

     

    I'm sorry many cyclists don't follow the rules of the road, though. I always stop for signs and red lights. In fact I hate the douchebags that give all of us a bad image. I'm just trying to put my 30 miles in.

     

    Regarding spandex...you don't have to worry wearing it unless you got something to hide!..

    So every shoulder of every road should be smooth enough to accommodate bikers? I'm really getting tired how the super minority is constantly demanding that they be accommodated.

     

    Or as my wife says "go join a gym!"

    Wouldn't you want decent roads for all?

    Here's the thought process with Watson:

     

    - I don't see SF going QB. I think with Solomon Thomas, Jamal Adams, Malik Hooker, and Marshon Lattimore on the board, there's too much elite defensive talent to pass. If they did take a QB, I think it would be Trubisky, because he fits what Shanahan likes to do.

    - Chicago could go Watson, but since they've got Glennon in the fold, it would make the most sense to me that they'd pick the guy with the elite measurables and try to groom him to start

    - Caldwell in Jax probably needs to win quickly, so adding a QB when they already have Bortles is likely a non-starter

    - Tennesse has Mariota

    - Jets are probably another team who's HC needs to win quickly, and having spent picks on Petty and Hackenberg, I figured they'd try to get an elite defensive playmaker at 6. Honestly, if there's a landing spot for Watson in the top 10, this is it IMO.

    - SD would most likely take one of the safeties over a QB

    - Carolina has Cam

    - Cincinnati has Dalton and would probably pass

    - Whaley has typically looked for bigger QBs, so if they chose to take one, it's likely either Kizer :sick: or Mahomes :thumbsup:

    - NO is running out of time with Brees and continues to bleed on defense

    - Cleveland leans toward the local guy with Trubisky

    - Arizona takes the guy with the most upside in Mahomes

     

    Then I couldn't find a landing spot for Watson in any of Philly, Indy, Baltimore, Washington, Tennessee, Tampa Bay, Denver, Detroit, or Miami, and I also couldn't find a team that Houston obviously needed to jump to get Watson. The closest that could potentially qualify would be NYG at 23.

    I can agree with all this. In fact, this makes me wonder if NO would want to grab an heir for Brees. Isn't he 36 this year?

    I can't see the Jets going RB, especially at 6. They know they are rebuilding from the ground floor up, a RB is a "we are a piece or two away" pick.

    My thinking is sort of like what we did when Rexy first showed up- got a journeyman QB in Cassel and got one of the best RBs in the league to help him out. They got McCown now, they might want to help him out.

    I think Kizer has Bears written all over him.

     

    I could see that too. My thinking was (if QBs are even a hot commodity early) Tru goes to them, with the 49ers taking Watson and the Jets taking a running back like Fournette, depending on how they feel with their QB situation. They need someone to replace Forte when he finally hangs it up. This would leave us to choose from Mahomes/Kizer.

     

     

    Of course, all of these teams have picked up journeymen. None of them could take one. This will be a very interesting draft to watch.

    I hope that Kizer gets inflated enough for someone like the Jets or 49ers to snag him. Preferably the Jets, because Kizer is terrible and they will be handicapped with a terrible trio of Petty, Hack, and Kizer. This would let Mahomes to fall to us.

     

    Right now I see Kizer going to the Cards as a replacement for the corpse of Carson Palmer.

    Watched "Space Mutiny". Late 80's sci-fi.

     

    This was a real laugher. Great job by Mike & the bots.

     

    This movie was so cheap that they used footage from Battlestar Galactica.

    Forget McLovin, we have the damn McDermonator as a head coach, and it is beautiful.

     

    @JoeBuscaglia #Bills HC Sean McDermott on going for it on 4th down: My personality is aggressive. If we're going down, we're going down all guns blazing.

    Little OT, but how about our Buffalo-based stores?

     

    Twin Fair

    Hens and Kelly

    AM&As

    Jenss(big in Niagara Falls)

    I never knew that the Rockys at the eastern hills mall used to be a Jenns. Looks like D and B sealed off the second floor when they moved in, so god knows what's left up there.

    Just out of curiosity, I've been looking into the retail history of the region, possibly to get a story together for the news.

     

    A big one I have been focusing on is Ames Department store, which folded in 2002. The reason I seem to be drawn to it is the fact that I recall shopping there at a very early age with my grandmother. I also work at a store that stands where an Ames was.

     

    Anyone remember anything about this place?
