  1. Have any AIG folks as your clients in times past?
  2. Most all Offensive (and Defensive) coordinators are cowards, consulting historical charts and doing things like prevent defenses and ignoring what actions got them the lead in the first place. I applaud the HC that that the nuts to take their duties away from them.
  3. Perhaps he wants to comment as to why something like 40% of the murders in America are perpetrated by that 2% or so of Americans who are black and male and between the ages of something like 16 to 40 years old. As long as he's being racist...
  4. Nah...FWIW, JP's experience gives a better shot of sticking a shiv into MIA's and NE*'s playoff hopes or at least, playoff seedings . Hamden gets few 1st team reps - those 2 clubs scratching for position would eat him alive. Bust him into small pieces. Bills shouldn't end the season with their tails between their legs...
  5. Yes...too early. Being a so tall receiver, he has a way to go to see if he becomes a Harold Carmichael or a Richard Caster. Or a Teyo Johnson.
  6. So true...and not just in football.
  7. The writer is a stringer for the Cincy Enquirer. He pens a retrospective column from time to time in their Sunday edition on page 2 of the sports section. Dave Foley, Mark Pike - nice NFL players for Bflo...

  8. Considering the imperious wording of your question, call it the "generation gap", and leave it at that...
  9. NO at 7 -7 is mathematically still in the running for a wild card AFAIK...don't know about how they fare with tie-breakers, though.
  10. I worked in auto...1978 - 1991. Foreign makers makers manufacturing in the U.S. paid U.S. taxes on profits, but their home nations exempted them from home country taxation. Contrast Ford and GM's situation. Ford of Germany, GM's German Opel division are large, successful, long-standing operations. They paid taxes to whatever European company they operated in. Then, our Federal government also taxed them on those profits. Double taxation for the U.S. companies... In the early '80's, Toyota built a pick-up truck bed plant in Van Nuys, CA. They would import their small P-U sans bed, to get around the so-called "Chicken Law" tariffs (old trade battle - foreign nations put a tariff on US poultry, US retaliated with a tariff on imported trucks). The Toyota cab-chassis skirted the law; the bed was installed after arriving at US ports - simple task. That law still exists - Daimler-Chrysler produces their Sprinter delivery vehicle in Europe. Then they disassemble much of it and ship it to one of the Southern US states where it is re-assembled.
  11. Seems like less hoopla about a 0 win season than when MIA was in that boat last season.
  12. Lucky so far...3 BUF fumbles, none lost.
  13. A fake punt on your own 37 with 5 minutes gone and down by 7. Priceless...
  14. I'd add that the roster limitations demanded and won by the player's union has some effect. I've never understood the "only 45 active" on game day thing, except in terms of the players wanting to restrict spots and therefore driving salaries up. They are certainly not like most unions, that welcome increased membership.
  15. Well, I posted this topic, that link for informative reasons. Not as a platform for attacks...
  16. 7 Myths about Detroit's Big 3 Mark Phelan, Gannett News Service 12/13/08 "No. 2: Their union workers are lazy and overpaid Reality: Chrysler tied Toyota as the most productive automaker in North America this year, according to the Harbour Report on manufacturing, which measures the amount of work done per employee. Eight of the 10 most productive vehicle assembly plants in North America belong to Chrysler, Ford or GM. The oft-cited $70-an-hour wage and benefit figure for UAW workers inaccurately adds benefits that millions of retirees get to the pay of current workers, but divides the total only by current employees. That's like assuming you get your parents' retirement and Social Security benefits in addition to your own income. Hourly pay for assembly line workers tops out around $28; benefits add about $14. New hires at the Big Three get $14 an hour. There's no pension or health care when they retire, but benefits raise their total hourly compensation to $29 while they're working. UAW wages are now comparable with Toyota workers, according to a Detroit Free Press analysis."... http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2008121...30340/1055/NEWS
  17. But some of those teams get plenty of exposure, week after week. I keep track of what's shown here in Cincinnati - I'm pretty sure other cities similar. Here in Cincy so far, we have been treated to 10 PGH games 10 DAL games 7 WAS games 9 PHI games 5 NYG games. True, the AFC North and NFC East squared off this season, but for years, Fox or its' local affiliate, have fed a heavy dose of NFC East ball. Also GB - for several years, 10+ games was the norm. Totals through this coming Monday: AFC North - 35 games The rest of the AFC - 26 games NFC East - 31 games The rest of the NFC - 32 games The game counts are per team - e.g. if DAL vs. WAS is shown, that counts as 2 NFC East games...1 game for DAL, 1 game for WAS. I don't have NFL Network, so I don't track those games. NE* has indeed waned - amazingly - only 3 games so far. NYJ chimes in with 4 games. So far, 1 Bills game. And STL, MIA, KC are still no-shows.
  18. Eh..Bills are still one of the lightweights in the IR derby...two starters max. http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/injuries/pup
  19. I read in my paper that 68 of 119 Div. 1 teams, or whatever they are called these days, go to bowl games. An exclusive club... Cha-ching!
  20. What's a wing-nut? One of those satanic lefties that have done and that want to continue to make laws about any aspect of ones' behavior?
