  1. I've got my tix as well. I'll be there in my JK jersey from the induction!!
  2. Absolutely. I meant it more as an indictment of Coach K for not developing a third scoring option this season and Sheldon Williams for not understanding how to avoid foul trouble in now his 4th year of college ball. The Duke system is based on reading the D and getting open looks. There are no set plays, thats why its so difficult to defend. But, you'd think that maybe Coach K could have sprinkled in a few to get a decent scoring chance for Dockery or Nelson, to try and develop their scoring abilities. I know Nelson was hurt earlier, but he's healthy now. Isolate Nelson (the most athletic Duke player) and have him drive and either finish or kick it out to JJ or Melchionni. Duke's title teams always had that guy who could penetrate the D and kick the ball back out. That option has rarely been developed this season. And Sheldon Williams being named All-America last year and probably this year says more about the state of post play in college basketball than anything. He was owned by Hansborough twice (didn't you learn any tricks in 4 years that might be useful against a freshman??) and Killingsworth.
  3. You know, it depends who drafts him and if they have a decent big man. If an NBA team with a decent big man (Minnesota, Spurs, Rockets, Miami) take JJ to make teams pay for double teaming say Garnett, I think Redick will have a decent career. Not All-Star mind you, but certainly 12-15 ppg, 2-3 apg, which would be a very good career. Don't misunderstand me, UNC is a very good team. I'll give credit there. But to tell me that JJ's shooting night was a result of Carolina's D is overestimating your D, by a lot. There was no Jackie Manuel out there this year. Redick had his chances and blew them.
  4. Mine too, tho my horizon is a lot longer than 5 years. I actually want to sail the thing tho; always wanted to cross the Atlantic and do the island-hopping thing in the Greek Islands. I've sailed the Carribean twice from NYC and back to Boston and to Bermuda, as sort of a crewman for hire when I was in college, in the summers. Cool job.
  5. Jumping in here as a Duke fan, its completely ridiculous that JJ played 38 minutes a game for us this year. The guy needs a vacation. Hope you enjoyed going for all those records Coach, cause this is not a title winning team. They are too burnt. I would have loved to see us play UConn about 3 weeks ago, now, we'd simply get blown out if we even make it that far. Carolina played very well, and once Sheldon Williams got in foul trouble (again), the load fell to JJ (again). UNC didn't do anything special on D, JJ had the looks and just missed the shots. Also, Melchionni's inability to hit the corner 3 like he did last season, will absolutely doom us in the tourney. Oh well, back to the drawing board. Congrats to UNC for a great win.
  6. Will Shields of KC comes to mind as a guy who probably would not have been cut.
  7. Interesting. I wonder if any Bills players read this site.
  8. Wow, no wonder the Titans are so far over the cap every year. Too bad for McNair he signed that deal and the Titans basically sucked his last couple of years because of it.
  9. Ummm...what about the teams that already cut a bunch of guys?
  10. What about Bennie Anderson????
  11. Ted Washington next to Ngata would solve all problems.
  12. You mean like THIS year!! I'll be at the Beekman Pub by noon enjoying corned beef & cabbage with a few pints of Guiness in front of me. The only day o the year I completely blow off the afternoon at work and begin drinking very early.
  13. Well, that depends who else is brought in during FA.
  14. How do we only have 2 mil after cutting MW?
  15. Oh no!!!! Now we need 2 DTs!!!!
  16. I have always dealt with Ludtka Sports in Cheektowaga for my jerseys (I have ordered from them 3 times for different baseball teams). They are great. They keep the designs on file, do custom work and are reasonable inexpensive. They also do the custom sizing/letters and have shipped them to me in NYC.

  17. Go to Google and type in "March 20th"
  18. Jones is an ass, but Kraft has a point. If they used the "total" number, they should account for stadium debt in some way. Significantly, Tagliabue has a meeting called for Thursday to work it out. I'll bet if the owners work it out amongst themselves, they'll give Upshaw the 60% and roll from there. Hopefully, they won't kill the golden goose.
  19. And 14 for unexpected anal sex!!
  20. I've got to find a way to use this line sometime!! Terrific!!
  21. Nice article on recent Texas draft busts. I will never advocate taking a Longhorn again. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=cnns...cnnsi&type=lgns
  22. JDG - You make some excellent points, and I can absolutely see where you are coming from. I'm nervous about losing EM, I'm still not sold on Evans being a true #1 or the second coming of Peerless Price. However, what if the choice is, say, Givens at 3 mil and Ted Washington at 2.5? Fills two holes with EM's money. Still leaves us about 7-8 mil to address the OL. Not a bad deal. EM would be more valuable if this team was playoff-calibur, but its far from it.
  23. I surmise that somehow the Bechtel Shovel Corp. will be involved as well.
