A classic putting-up-a-straw man utterance. You must have been trained at early age by a good propagandist - you don't seem clever enough to get along without coaching. See? I know how to play the game, Comrade. I take it you cannot/will not answer my questions. No surprise there.

Any concern about the Government pushing around the people they represent, or is any government action OK with you? Talking about the concept of government with the consent of the governed, here. Or is that a dead thing in your mind...we must submit?

Where does it say anything about unequal treatment of citizens regarding taxation? Aren't you for equal treatment of all citizens under law, or are you not? Make the case for differing income tax rates based on income...please...I'd love to hear your response. From your Constitutional perspective. And answer this question: Are cigarettes damaging to heath? - and if so, why doesn't the Federal government make them illegal? I await your words.

They are a private business, so I have no opinion as to if they stay or they go - all I want to see happen is the end of politicians crowing about nebulous claims of great local economic benefit for all, wooing easy votes from the large numbers of any large city's subsidized easy-streeters, and sticking the actual taxpayers of a region with taxation and bond obligations for the vicarious benefit of the minority of citizens. The fans. Flame away!

http://www.publicopiniononline.com/ci_11998322 This is being done, because the producers of such were never worth attacking for small revenue compared to the cigarette industry. You are a fool if you think tobacco taxation has anything to do with health. It is all about revenue, and if governments truly cared about health, tobacco would be illegal. The "cost to society" has been disproved time and time again - smokers die younger, generally of quick-acting maladies, and don't cash in on their social security benefits. I've had it. I'm quitting this Wednesday. Time for me to stop paying these taxes, and time for you non-smokers to praise me for coming over to the fold and for you to pay for my increased longevity. Go to work as long as the private sector exists and pay those FICA taxes! The government intrusion, the tobacco cash grab, was pretty much the first step on the slippery slope. Many warned. Today, after a Congress egged on by an orchestrated Administrative branch pogram against AIG - repugnant to the Constitution, the same Administration demands a company to discharge its' CEO and board. That CEO being replaced by an investment banker. Those of you who voted for this junta - get yourself a copy of the Constitution and put it outside your door as a floormat. You have destroyed the Republic. And you were warned...

Before grapes.

If taking Chantix, I recommend visiting a Chuckie Cheese every day, blending in with the Adderall/Ritalin/Divorced Parent-with Court-ordered custody crowd. Soul mates.

Grant, we are sharers in His life, branches of His vine. God bless, and return to us.

He's sure to get at least a couple of chances every game or two or three, to show his stuff, what with all the grinding possessions opposing offenses traditionally subject us to...

Goody.

I'll take #6 - Cincinnati, Rich. Are comp picks to be included?

It would make things tough...the usual way being signing up the lower rounds, and then seeing how much cash is left to sign the #1. Signing the #1 and #11 overall looks to be a tough task.

Hard to think there would ever be another - new - taxpayer-funded NFL stadium in WNY. If there were, I don't think it would matter much as to a location being north, central, or south. There are 10 playing dates - unlike baseball.

Good write-up. Spread widens evaluation gaps NFL DRAFT By Joe Reedy, Cincinnati Enquirer, March 29, 2009 "Evaluating players for the NFL Draft is always tricky for pro teams as offensive schemes come and go in the college game. In the 1970s and '80s, the option and the wishbone were in vogue; in the '90s, it was the run-and-shoot. Now the spread offense - a high-powered attack used by teams such as the UC Bearcats - is the latest style to cause fits for NFL personnel directors. This year's draft class features the greatest number of players who have spent their college careers in the spread."... Full article... http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2009032...0376/1066/SPT02

RIP, Lou.

Let's see...You mock Texas. Now Oklahoma. Methinks you are mean-spirited.

It made no sense to me. Seems to me that with the amounts of money being given to today's draftees, and needing time to consider this or that player, and time enough to work out trades...the last thing that seemed prudent is to do what they did. It's broadcast on ESPN and I guess now on NFL Network. A captive audience, on stations not competing for viewership with non-sports fans. I do recall numerous posters here being very much in favor of the time reductions. It's a sound-bite, Hot Pocket world...

A point worth pondering, when one bites into a $4 hot dog at an NFL stadium...

Best as I can figure, it's an act committed daily by the television media.

"...and charged with two counts of second degree lynching in connection to an assault at a New Year's Eve party in Richland County."... I always though that getting lynched...was kinda final. And certainly above the level of an assault charge...but there was that wrist injury reported by the EMTs.

I'd like to see a nasty, large LB as Lori mentioned. I searched around - the last one they selected in the 1st round was Conlan in...1987. That's quite a stretch. I know you are not an argumentative sort. Nothing in your post history says so - I'm pleased you contribute here, and I am not being condescending.

I'm not missing any point. I merely stated that given the emphasis of the pass game currently prevalent, it is folly not to explore all avenues. That is not to be construed as a desire for a backfield player as a high draft choice, on my part, or on the part of the Bills' organization. I expressed a general observation, and I shan't be drawn into argument about their specific plans. That is their own business. If they are keeping their eyes open, that is all to the good. IMO.
