Given that those are the things that hold your lower leg to your upper leg I'd imagine that it'd be pretty evident if they were significantly damaged. Sorta like we didn't need an MRI to know that McGahee's entire knee was toast, just to know the extent of the toasting.

And God shall smite the wicked and scoff at the hubris of man.

Confirmed Seabags sighting at the Marriot in Amherst. Enjoy.

Speaking of vindictive. If you want to screw with PArker or just to yell at his receptionist here's his company contact info. FYI, it's different than what you get if you google it. This is off the NFLPA website directory. Maximum Sports Management 6435 West Jefferson Blvd. #197 Fort Wayne IN, 46804 Phone:(260) 672-9480 Fax: (888) 419-1555 May I suggest some interesting faxes?

I looked for a couple minutes but I couldn't figure it out. Who is Crowell's agent?

Clip Smith?

Exactly, so go win and none of this matters at all. But even beyond that. Money talks and 95% of the players are whores. If you pay more, you get them regardless of any other factor. Teams with bad reps don't get bargains, but they get good free agents.

FFIW - Being the most productive player on the 2007 Bills defense is equivalent to being the most effective screen door on a Polish submarine

I dunno about you but I don't want to be the guy to tell a 6'6 330lb dude with a 6 Wonderlic that he can't have his case of Mallomars because his daddy won't let him go play. I'm betting that Jason throws a mean MR fueled tantrum...

Was I unclear?

Because as always the players are innocent little pawns and Mr Burns...errr...RW is sitting up in his booth quietly repeating his mantra "Dance my puppets. Dance" [/sarcasm]

I'd love to have a guy named Rufus. Need some of that.

As much as St. Joe's sucks and I hate your screen name, you are correct.

He still gets paid on IR, the union won't care.

There hasn't been a FO more harsh, miserly, or vindictive than the Pats* and it doesn't seem to have hurt them. They will cut anyone and everyone as soon as they are no longer of use. For example, Troy Brown, thanks for saving our arse this year and playing CB part time. We know that killed your offensive numbers and it's a contract year, but you know we're going to pass on re-signing you. Have a nice day. Deion Branch? uhm no thanks, we know you were a Super Bowl MVP for us but we just don't really feel like giving you any more money. You can go ahead and sit and then we'll deal you away for a draft pick. Thanks for stopping by. Asante Samuel? You know we like you and all and everyone else thinks the rest of our CBs are crap we just can't justify giving you that kind of money, after all, you dropped a pick in the Super Bowl. Give us a call sometime, we'll do lunch. Joe Andruzzi? We know you anchored our line during multiple Super Bowl runs, but we think you're a little old, and frankly expensive, buh-bye. Willie McGinest? You've been the soul of our team for a decade. We forgot that contractually we are not allowed to have a soul, go ahead and play in Cleveland. Damien Woody? too expensive, bye. Lawyer Milloy? You were a warrior for us and we know you'll probably go to Buffalo. We're willing to bank that you haven't got more than one season in the tank and we can replace you with a cheaper player. Pack it up. Drew Bledsoe? You probably saved our team from oblivion. You certainly put us back on the map. But Hell, Buffalo will give us a #1 for you. How can we pass? Confidentially, we weren't all that upset when you nearly died from a sheared aorta you suffered while playing for us. That time your finger was wrecked and you still played? Classic, We'll send it to you on DVD. Tebucky Jones? Great season, but you must've missed the memo that we don't pay safeties. Eugene Wilson? Talk to Tebucky Jones. Winning solves all ills.

Connor's arms are an inch long and he sucks in coverage. Not the right fit for us. Ideally we'd still have a 3-4 and he and Pox could both play ILB but Connor's not an NFL OLB He's also a Drew Rosenhaus client. Anyone up for some more of that?

Boo this man! Facts have no place on a message board! [/sarcasm] All I know is Crowell hasn't played at all all preseason because his knee was wonky. Does it suck that he's done, yes it does. But I'd rather have a healthy player rather than one who is gimping around all year (see also Takeo Spikes) There doesn't have to be a Machiavellian explanation for everything. FFIW, our defense sucked with Crowell last year. Worst case scenario it still sucks. My guess though is because our DTs have improved that there is more room for a player like Ellison to fly to the ball and we will be pleasantly surprised. At Will Ellison won't have a TE over him and will be free to roam. Assuming that Stroud et al can keep the line off of him he and Poz will flow to the ball. I'm not jumping off the house over this.

keeps em on their toes It's out new super secret startegy to defeat the Pats* spying. Terminate anyone who has been on video ever and replace them with previoulsy unknown Europeans, or Martians if possible.

I guess not.

Anyone else see the video of Rudi's interview afterwards. Tatum better hide or he's gonna catch a beating.

Either we win by a lot or we win by a hell of a lot! Wooooooooooo! [/RicFlair]

Did Colt Brennan take lenDale White in rd 1? Wow. Lol

If it's PPR Brian Westbrook is your man.

2.5 million for a veteran back-up WR was expensive about 5 years ago. 150 catches, 2197 yards, 14.6 ypc, 13 TDs, 4 fumbles, 58 games played 228 catches, 2687 yards, 11.8 YPC, 8 TDs, 2 fumbles, 88 games played The first guy is names Bernard Berrian and he makes 7 million dollars a year with bonuses that could kick in an additional 13 million. The second guy is Josh Reed who makes 2.5 million with no appreciable bonuses. Is Bernard Berrian 4.5 million dollars plus better than Josh Reed?

That's a really good point. God forbid we share a by-line.
