They only have three DTs, with CLE signing Shaun Smith. Adams did a nicer job for them than many folks noticed, but one assumes his playing days are numbered...losing several LB's playing time to injury, and the 4 games missed by Dexter Jackson throughout the season hurt their run defense. Last year's 4th rounder, DT Domata Peko (he of ponytail), did a nice job for them, also.

CIN selects Brandon Mebane, DT California.

My, how property values have risen in the last half-century.... FIRST STEP TAKEN ON A PEARL ST. SITE FOR COUNTY BUILDING Three of Six Property Owners Settle for $770,000; Total Cost Expected To Be $1 Million By Howard White, Buffalo Evening News, November 22, 1963 "The first steps have been taken towards acquiring the the proposed Pearl St. site for a new county office building, designed to tie in as an integral part of the projected downtown redevelopment program. County Atty. Norman A. Stiller disclosed today that three property owners have signed written agreements that they are willing to sell their property for $770,000, considered by him to be unreasonable. Negotiations are in progress with three owners of parcels. Mr. Stiller said he believes the cost of the entire block bounded by Pearl, Church, Franklin, and Niagara Sts. would be around $1 million."...

Update on Ohio's mimimum wage increase.... As expected, prices are rising. There are approximately 300,000 minimum wage workers in the State of Ohio. This law also mandates annual cost-of-living increases, so one may expect a continual price rise every year. Minimum wage up - prices, too "BY ALEXANDER COOLIDGE Cincinnati Enquirer 03/31/07 Eric Franke is weighing his options. In light of Ohio's minimum-wage increase, the co-owner of 18 Subway sandwich shops in the region has two equally unappealing choices: He can raise prices, or he can cut staff. Franke estimates the new Ohio law, which raised the minimum wage from $5.15 to $6.85 an hour, will drive up annual expenses by $5,000 per store. Some restaurants might try to absorb the increase with lower staffing, but that's a slippery slope: Longer waits in line and less-spiffy stores could alienate customers. Yet if Franke increases pay, he'll have to increase prices to compensate. Before the increase, he could offer starting employees $6.25 an hour "and be competitive." While other retailers and service companies say they'll be forced to charge more because of the higher minimum wage, economists say the impact might be most visible to consumers at their favorite casual or fast-food restaurants - places they visit regularly and repeatedly buy the same items. "We adjust prices every couple of years, but it's definitely mandated now with the minimum-wage increase," Franke said."... http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...03310334/-1/all

And that's why I referred to Leonard as RB, not FB. If his college career is any guide, this kid moves the ball. Run, pass, reliably, under varying circumstance.

I was really surprised that CB Hall fell to #18. OT Staley sticking around to #29 is insane. Whatever one's persuasion - value or need, I can't see this fellow slipping so low. I would have picked LB Timmons if Hall didn't fall to Cincy. I won't be surprised if a well-heeled club taps RB Leonard as their #2.

Stop now.

They should be so lucky come Apr. 28th...

OT Staley at #29. Big grin for BAL.

The NYJ amanuensis selects... DE/OLB Anthony Spencer, Purdue.

Sorry...didn't see you on the list.

You should have selected a club.

With a tip of the hat to Tory James, who gave a moribund club a couple of years of decent play, CIN selects Leon Hall, CB Michigan.

"Florida's Joakim Noah, the Most Outstanding Player from Florida's 2006 national title, is the leader, whooping and hollering his way through games while outhustling low-post opponents. "I think my mom wouldn't like me acting like that," Oden said. "She's taught me better than that, to not be showy and flashy." To which Noah responded: "I think my mom is proud of the way I act. My mom was crying last night after we beat UCLA. We're different people, me and (Oden)."." http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...SPT01/704020326

Happy saturated fat B'day's!

Rich, I'll take the NY Jets, in addition to CIN.

"Stop or I'll Scoot"... On the 1/2 hour Discovery Channel show "How It's Made", the Segway was one of the products. Pretty spiffy. They mentioned that the price was around $6,500...so the RPD got a nice discount.

Perhaps they'll find some CB help after the draft. I'd be surprised if the Bills obtained Turner.

It's took bad "Air America" went belly-up. If it had gotten big, lots of fellows like this guy could have dumped their sports gig and hitched onto that.

"We had warned that this game was dangerous," the head of Greece's volleyball federation, Thanassis Beligratis, was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying. I wonder who Mr. Beligratis warned. And if he could have cancelled it.

It is. That's why I have not one, but two, tinfoil hat avatars in my collection.

You need to have your checking account raided because you left a piece of mail with a valid check in an open box.

Did you leave them in your former domicile's - open - post box for pick-up? If so, anyone could have swiped them and viewed them. Perhaps mailing them in a different location could have proved/disproved your theory... The Post Office continually warns folks not to leave things of value like these discs, things like mail with checks in them, etc, in open boxes.

Well, you never know. The 'Skins certainly like to wheel 'n deal.

Good point!
