  1. Anyone who does not work out ends up as an "F." If Pennington was even remotely decent, the Bills would not have cut him after 7 games or another NFL team would have picked him up. Teams do find useful players in the 7th round, especially special teamers. We have not done that in the 7th round in the two drafts you mentioned.
  2. Three years ago ('06): 1 (8) - Donte Whitner, S - B 1 (26) - John McCargo, DT - D- 3 (70) - Ashton Youboty, CB - C 4 (105) - Ko Simpson, S - D 5 (134) - Kyle Williams, DT - B+ 5 (143) - Brad Butler, OL - A- 6 (178) - Keith Ellison, LB - B 7 (216) - Terrance Pennington, OT - F 7 (248) - Aaron Merz, G - F Two years ago ('07) 1 (12) - Marshawn Lynch, RB - A- 2 (34) - Paul Posluszny, LB - C 3 (92) - Trent Edwards, QB - B- 4 (111) - Dwayne Wright, RB - F 6 (184) - John Wendling, S - B- 7 (222) - Derek Schouman, TE - C- 7 (239) - C.J. Ah You, DE - F
  3. Not gonna argue, more time to play 18 before the game in the nice weather.
  4. Has anyone watched this guy play? Is he good? He seems to be decent by virtue of SEA's franchise tag and the 81 tackles in 12 games, but I was hoping for a bit more of a first-hand view.
  5. I know we really didn't get much from the draft regarding LBs. After taking Curry, SEA took the tag off of LeRoy Hill, their starting WLB. Since we have a need, is this a guy we should look at? I ask because I have never seen him play. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AjGT...p&type=lgns EDIT: Sorry Mods, I missed the otehr thread, please delete.
  6. I love the "won't please the fans" or "not the sexiest pick" in regards to OL....we've all been screaming for OL for years.
  7. Because Texas players make crappy pros.
  8. Who are the 4 idiots who voted against this?
  9. Finally!! Now take Britton in Round 2! No DBs until the 6th...if at all. Big guys, big guys, big guys....
  10. Steamer?
  11. It will be Ayers and Pettigrew at 28. I actually would not be suprised if there was a bit of discussion between the Bills and Eagles over 21, Bills saying we'll take 28 if you agree not to grab Pettigrew at 21, Eagles say...OK, because staying at 21 gives them a better at RB Moreno or Wells.
  12. I completely agree. I read another interesting piece concerning how a state like MD may clear quicker than others because of their laws regarding tax liens. This piece explains the process a bit, I have to say I'm a bit intrigued.
  13. I think Cuomo was trying to score some cheap political points against Lewis and ended up digging up a big fish.. The summary... Lewis claimed Paulson threatened his job if he did not go through with the Merrill deal. Paulson told Cuomo that Bernanke made him threaten Lewis' job. Lewis, thoroughly disregarding his fiduciary duty to shareholders, go ahead with the Merrill deal, furtehr killing BoA stock price. Cuomo sends angry letter to regulators (attached below). Paulson recants statement that Bernanke authorized the threat. I think we may have a problem here....get ready to spend some TARP money on criminal lawyers. http://www.scribd.com/doc/14564832/BofAmergLetter Marc Rich says Switzerland is wonderful for about a decade.
  14. IMHO, Inflation = an increase in the amount of physical money and credit chasing the same amount of goods and services. The Fed can print all of the cash they want, doesn't matter when credit (consumer, business etc.) is being destroyed at 2xs the rate. Also, there is very little of the "chasing" going on right now, no velocity of money. Deflation is the order of the day and will be for quite some time. I don't think we will see an inflationary problem for a long time.
  15. Maybe try a little champagne, candlelight, some Barry White music....
  16. Sorry Martin, ain't no recovery coming next year. Don't have to worry at all about inflation. This chart tells me that there won't be a recovery til...oh about 2012 or 2013. See we got this stuff called Option ARMs, thatw ere real big from 2004 through 2007, they had low initial payments and then reset after 5 years into much higher payments. People figured they could just sell or refi their house before the payments reset. Problem is that houses are not selling and refis require appraisals. Ooops.
  17. Happy B-Day, enjoy!
  18. I agree it will be Ayers/Pettigrew in the 1st; with Mack/Unger/Robinson/Levitre at 42, based on whoever is left. LB or LT in the 3rd.
  19. I used Craigslist to sell three apartments in Hoboken and NYC. Obviously no broker's fee for any. My experience has been very positive, although I'm not seeking "erotic services," from someone who will come to a random hotel room.
  20. Yep. And good luck getting any attorney to EVER take a position with ANY administration where he may have to interpret existing statutes without the benefit of much past precedent. Criminal prosecution? I would lose a lot of respect for Obama if he pursued this route.
  21. We were spoiled and didn't even know it. It may not have been much fun at the time, but 10-6 and a home playoff game (even if we lose), would have all of us dancing in the streets.
  22. We've been doing that with the Bills since the day Kelly retired.
  23. For those of us suffering from playoff hockey withdrawal... Enjoy...
  24. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/features/...articleid=32563 I'd be happy with Oher and Pettigrew. Love to be able to get a 3rd 1st and grab Ayers as well, however.
