  1. Love it, right now the poll is 55 to 6 in favor of the throwback. You can't get 55/61 people to say that beer is good. What a f*#% up the front office made with the hideous dark blue jerseys.
  2. I could be wrong, but thought that Mitchell played primarily the SAM and Ellison the WILL. When Mitchell blitzed, Scott picked up the TE. We would be looking to upgrade from Ellison at the WILL spot.
  3. I'll throw Ken Griffey Jr. out there, although at this point nothing would suprise me. EDIT: And for young players, I will throw Ryan Howard out there.
  4. Per Rotoworld... Rams release leading tackler Tinoisamoa Rams released LB Pisa Tinoisamoa. This is a case of a good player not fitting his new coach's scheme, but it's still surprising that the Rams would release last year's team leader in tackles. Though the Rams tried Pisa at SAM linebacker last month at minicamp, he didn't have the size to stay there. It's not clear who will start along with James Laurinitis and Will Witherspoon. Chris Draft and Quinton Culberson are the leading contenders. May. 8 - 1:22 pm et Source: stlouisrams.com I'd love to bring him in for a shot.
  5. Whoops, apologies I meant McKinney.
  6. I don't think so.. Jones Wood Hangartner Butler Walker with Levitre/Chambers/Simmons/Bell as backups.
  7. I left the comment pointing it out to him. I tried not be too nasty, but yeah, embarassing.
  8. Or the gov't contracts with an advisor to get the gov't the best price and the advisor sells on behalf of the gov't taking a % of the sale as a fee. In that case, the only way to sell that kind of block is via a dark pool. And no, there is no rascism or light pools. The "dark" only means you can't see price, volume or counetrparty until you have already agreed on the price and volume; without knowing the counterparty. Spend much time on the Street...dude?
  9. Yep. Ding ding ding!! Way to go Kelly!
  10. Simple, unload it in Dark Pools. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_pools_of_liquidity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_liquidity
  11. Post of the year so far!! Bravo sir.
  12. Can't wait till TO and Lee torch this guy and he has to say "Vontae gave up 3 TDs today cause Vontae got toasted."
  13. True, but if he really has top 10 talent and has a fire under his a$$, this could be a great pickup.
  14. Leonard Smith http://cache.gettyimages.com/xc/360473.jpg...84831B75F48EF45 http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...v%3D2%26hl%3Den Neitehr show the back mullet. He had one though. Mitch Ferotte - the super mullet! http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/photo/2008-06/39919305.jpg EDIT: I love Mitch even more after reading this... http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...l%3Den%26sa%3DX
  15. Hadn't thought about that, but it would be brilliant.
  16. To try and at least be fair, working in a local community bank as an assistant manager trainee is very different than trading fixed income at Goldman. (I have no idea what he does, but proffering a guess) Anyone else feel like you were talking to concrete?
  17. But, but, but...you mean, if we have to pay higher taxes, we'll have to cut jobs to stay competitive? Ooops. http://finance.yahoo.com/tech-ticker/artic...set=&ccode=
  18. Did you even READ the link I sent you to...the treatise on Securities Activities of Banks? If so, perhaps you missed the regulatory timeline that begins on page 1-10, detailing the various agency decisions beginning in 1970 that chipped away at GS. By 1999 and the repeal of certain portions of GS, there was no separation anyway. Therefore, your statement that the repeal of GS caused this mess by permitting commerical banks to enter into business activities they were otehrwise prohibited to enter is clearly erroneous.
  19. And Elizabeth Warren is complete simpleton who knows very little about the financial world.
  20. Some type of Viagra drug? http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=Atqh...o&type=lgns EDIT: The drug is HCG. Dead to rights, steroids. HCG is known for being the hormone detected by home pregnancy tests. In men, it is used to treat hypogonadism and infertility because it causes you to produce testosterone, which is necessary for sperm production. HCG is unequivocally used to quickly boost your natural levels back to normal after anabolics deplete them on a typical cycle.
  21. This is your problem right here. You see, none of us actually have anything "memorized." We work in these worlds and understand how they actually operate. So, if someone asks a question, we try to respond with knowledge in our heads. Follow-up questions may involve a bit of research. Memorizing someone else's work is never an issue. It is understanding the various elements, how they interrelate and thinking about the consequences of actions in a logical fashion.
  22. Per ESPN Major League Baseball announced Thursday that Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez has been suspended for 50 games for violating its drug policy. The commissioner's office didn't announce the specific violation by Ramirez, but in a statement Thursday provided by Major League Baseball, Ramirez attributed the violation to medication he had been prescribed by a doctor. "Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was OK to give me," Ramirez said. "Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. "I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons. I want to apologize to [Dodgers owner Frank] McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, [manager Joe] Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. LA is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation." After consultation with the Players' Association and his personal representatives, Ramirez waived his right to challenge the suspension. He will lose about one-third of his $25 million salary.
  23. While I agree wholeheartedly with you, and I am very glad that this worked out for these students, the wisdom of carrying a gun in a backpack to a college drinking party is questionable.
