...LMAO.....probably about 15 watts......best thing he EVER said was, "I refer to my three ex-wives as the Axis of Evil"......"Omaha"!......

...interesting...was not aware we had one.......

LMAO!!....from the archives of "Frostyisms".........

...somehow I think the ONLY successful football merger we will see in our lifetime is the NFL-AFL in 1970.......NFL has become a $12+ BILLION dollar cash cow and doesn't need to be bothered with these "frivolities"....how many years have MLB and NHL had extensive minor league developmental systems?......and the NFL has??.....perhaps NCAA was thought to be their "developmental league (free of charge).......but the focus of college ball is butts in the seats, happy happy megabucks boosters and mega million dollar bowl payouts versus getting players "pro ready" for the NFL style game......probably dead wrong and too old, but don't see it changing any time soon.....instead, they'll be focusing on the strong potential for labor strife when CBA expires......

...lemme check...I'll be the judge.....

...Guido Cuomo will be on that cash cow quick....thank God we're not in PA......brutal....our company had to get licensed by PA Gaming Commission to do construction work in the casinos.....$12,000 application fee...had to go through TWO NYS Police and PA State Police background checks, fingerprinting, FBI background check and a one hour "face to face" interview with examiners as well as providing personal financial statement, etc.....NYS has nothing like that..any company wanting to enter the sports gambling business in PA has to submit to these rigors......examiners are flying to Europe because companies there want entry into PA sports gaming market.....

...delLago has also applied......

...thanks AGAIN for additional info!...did not know the depth and extent of his backstory....truly grounded..... other major reasons why I like this kid are humility and respect for the game....no RG II1/8 "ME" pressers, no dumbazz fedoras and zoot suits at his pressers (hmmm...who is that?).........no diva like hissy fits as in the Steelers' "Three Musketeers (minus 2 now)".....all football business...........

...prolly meant first half of the season..........

how or why does one pony up $250 mil and we're talking life support two weeks later?. ...Madoff was his advisor??...........

...how or why does one pony up $250 mil and we're talking life support two weeks later?......paging Charles Schwab...SMH............

...did you get the installment plan??.........

...nothing wrong with moving on......McBeane certainly has been busy so far regarding the OL, hopefully with input from the new OL Coach....with FA$$$ still in the cookie jar and 10 picks, think we'll end up in good shape.... ...now they'll have enough for euchre.........

...last season is exactly what I am referring to......the wheels fell off.... ...good point......Richie had his moments, but hard to deny his ability and making those around him better.............loved watching his classic pulls.......and EVERY holding call was bogus...he just happened to "temporarily detain" the opposition....... ...last year?..absolutely....his first year here?...not so IMO..........

LMAO.....prolly should have said studio..........

...GREAT assessment bud......aren't they ALL projects to a certain extent?....as Steve Young (yup, HIM) said, "more collegiate QB's fail versus succeed at the NFL level due to the speed and complexity of the game"...don't see where ANY come with a warranty or money back guarantee.....this kid is the "no guts no glory....no bawls no blue chips" type of moxy we are in dire need of IMO...

...if (uh oh) I remember correctly, when he was signed, much was made about his G/C versatility and I think he did well filling in for Wood......how or why did he go from the penthouse to the outhouse bud?...what did I miss?.......

...cost in 2019 dollars is $842 million......apologize for not seeing the earlier post about 2019 dollars...another senior moment........

...certainly a valid point...at the same time, he certainly is NOT alone in the "major room for improvement" category among his classmates.........logically and realistically, they would ALL need work in their development...some will succeed and others will not...as Steve Young (yup, HIM) said, "more collegiate QB's fail versus succeed at the NFL level due to the speed and complexity of the game"...hard to argue THAT IMO......"THE most NFL QB ready" yips were nothing but speculative hogwash......wasn't the "illustrious Chuckie" quote, "Peterman is THE most NFL ready QB I've seen in years".....as the late great Paul Harvey said, "...you know the REST of the story"....this youngster is on a mission to prove his naysayers wrong and I respect/appreciate that...stay tuned my friend....

....just curious....how does missing on his running ability equate to a precipitous prognostication as a 3rd rounder?.....CERTAINLY respect your opinion, otherwise this place does NOT work as intended......what glaring and far more serious deficiencies in his game did you see versus the other 1st round projections that had him as a 3rd on your board?....

...good call....and look at Poyer's fingers.....

..LOL....just like when we've had 22 Williams on the roster............

....good call...remember it well....Ricky on the loose........ Palm Beach Post sports columnist Dave George Light snow and sleet and eventually a full-on barrage of near whiteout conditions didn’t stop Ricky Williams from rushing for a career-best 228 yards at Buffalo on Dec. 1, 2002. That remains a Miami franchise record, and it came on a day when the temperature was 25 degrees at kickoff with a wind chill of 13. Drew Bledsoe, the Bills’ quarterback at the time, clearly agreed. While Lucas was laboring on a 6-for-11 passing day with two fumbles, Bledsoe threw for 306 yards and three touchdowns. Included in there was a 73-yard touchdown pass from Bledsoe to Peerless Price, the play that put Buffalo ahead to stay in a 38-21 victory.

...isn't he fairing better with the Isles though?......or it it all Trotz' wizardry?.............

.....Asinine 101.......what better indictment of scout staff ineptitude......seems to be a perfect fit for the "definition of insanity"..............
