I do hope that maybe we have found a few long term pieces (Peters and Fowler) to build the OL. Perhaps Gandy works at LG, maybe Pennington can be the answer at RT (he sure has the size, the guyt is bigger than MW, hopefully he plays with a nasty streak). Our problem on the OL would then be reduced to Gs, much easier to acquire than Ts. Perhaps, a draft pick and Steinbach? That would sure solidfy the OL.

Or he can drive to Toronto.

You gotta love her quote...

Thats what I want the life insurance for. My understanding is that if both my wife & I die and my son is the beneficiary, he will receive the life insurance amount, tax-free. The objective would be if something happened to either my wife or I, the house would be paid off, there would be $1 mil to cover everything else. Should I be the one to die, it would double due to my company's insurance policy. If we both died, and we each were covered for $1 mil, there would be $2 mil for my son. So, what type of policy would be best for me?

It depends. Lets see what Peters does at LT. If he looks like the guy for the next decade, then perhaps DT is where we should go. Depending on where we pick, maybe a deal down and taking the best available G (usually not picked till the 20s), while getting an xtra late 1st rd pick (CB anyone?) is the right move. I still think its too early to say.

Ok Chef Jim, then explain it to me. If all I want is $1 mil for the other person, if my wife or I die, and $2 mil to our son if we both die, what should I buy? I don't care all that much about doing anything with the policy (borrowing from it etc.), and I am soon signing up for a policy wherein if either my wife or I die, our existing home mortgage would be paid off. I also have my employer;'s policy (with disability insurance, so that I'd be covered in the event of an illness that causes me to miss a bunch of work time). Thus, my question is what to buy, given my stated objectives.

I never used the casebooks, so I never bought them. I saved the $$$, because those can get expensive. Also, there is rarely, if ever, any analysis in them. If I needed to read a case, I printed it from Westlaw or LEXIS (free for law students). I went to UB Law School. It was a lot of fun, basically an extension of college. That is a comment you will not hear about too many law schools. Many of my friends, who went elsewhere, hated law school. My wife, a lawyer, also had a miserable experience at New York Law. Be careful where you choose to go. Also, UB was MUCH cheaper, I finished paying off my loans 2 years ago. My wife has another 15 years on hers.

Really? I say that because I went to law school, graduated with honors and have been a practicing attorney in NYC for the past 6 years. I can assure you, the casebook is nothing more than a nice paperweight. After my first year of school, I never bought one.

Not in every instance. I can't add my wife to my policy through my employer. I took a separate policy through my job for her, but its max is only 20k. Compared to my $1 mil, it would do very little in the event something happened.

I think downtown started turning around back in 1988, with the construction of Pilot Field. It was the first major development in downtown in years, it was done right and that started the trend that now counts the Loft Apts, HSBC Arena and Chippewa St as successes.

See if your company offers it as a benefit, many do. My life insurance is thru my company.

Casebooks = useless paperweights.

Ding, ding, ding. I think you'll see a lot of changes this offseason.

No, read the article. The guy plans to spend his own money to build this building. He already acquired the land (as part of the Statler purchase accross the street). So that hurdle is over. He plan to privately finance the thing himself. Pretty cool.

This may get done, simply because it is all private money that will build it.

That book was excerpted recently in SI, essentially saying that Wolford changed the game by becoming the first OL to really hit it big after his performance against LT in the Bowl.

That looks awesome!! I hope the local wanna-bes don't fug it up.

Well it worked didn't it? Let JP give free food and beer, maybe it builds a little team chemistry.

No, keep the gloves on, but what about having him up on his tail. It would be a more agressive stance. He kinda looks like he's sitting back right now.

He should be fighting, dukes up ala ND leprechaun. Maybe cross some swords under him?

Kelly invited the entire team to his house after every home game, win or lose, for a party. That team was close. Maybe JP needs to start doing some of these things?

True, but if Peters works out at LT, we have a LT signed for the next 5 years at 3 mil per. Pretty good deal if he's good. We could afford to overspend on a G.

You think Davis over Steinbach? INteresting. Thanks for the tip on Sands, I've never seen him play, but I'll take a look.

Really? Is he that light on his feet? Better pass blocker than run blocker?

Amen. I completely agree and really hope we may have found ourselves a gem in Pennington. Steinbach would look real nice next to Peters in 07.
