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.

Maybe try a little champagne, candlelight, some Barry White music....

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.

Happy B-Day, enjoy!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We've been doing that with the Bills since the day Kelly retired.

For those of us suffering from playoff hockey withdrawal... Enjoy...

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.

Ask the British how much worse it can get... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8011321.stm 50% Tax Rates and significantly reduced deductions....Reykjavik on the Thames just got much worse....

The Jets may be interested in Pettigrew? http://www.nypost.com/seven/04212009/sport...n_te_165431.htm Personally, I don't think he gets past Philly at 21, if we want him, we may just have to buck up at 11 (or prefer to deal down to the late teens).

And if he grew up? Seems like the man ate some humble pie and is better for it, per the article. A 7th rounder is not much more than a lottery ticket anyway.

He was one of the top recruits in terms of ability, if he got his life together and has his head screwed on straight, you get get 1st round talent out of a 7th rounder. Willie Williams Article Thoughts?

Its funny...the gov't took the Buffet contract, that was intended to be between GS and Buffet and used it as the template. They changed very little. Now Buffet is a private investor, a governmental investor would require vastly different terms/conditions/reps/warranties etc. However, given the speed the gov't moved at to sign up banks, they figured they'd just use best the best available document and not create one themselves that contained the appropriate conditions. There really is no conspiracy here, just using an inappropriate document to govern the transaction.

Going into an uncapped year? No way the train is over, in fact, its only accelerating. Wait till every game is pay-per-view.

How do you know that he did not want to be here? He wanted to get paid, yes, but I'm sure if Buffalo paid him, he would have wanted to be here just fine.

What money should you pay one of the top LT's in the NFL? Cause in 2-3 years $11 mill will look like a bargain.

My guess is that Peters will be 1st team All-Pro this year and we will, again, look cheap and foolish.

Legalize & regulate marijuana. 50% of the problem is solved. Decriminalize penalties for users of other drugs with less than a certain amount. Use remaining ATF budget (freed from marijuana enforcement) to secure border against harder drugs. Make it impossible for an illegal in this country to obtain a firearm of any kind legally. Increase prison penalties for anyone caught selling illegal or unregistered firearms. How am I doin?

Darcy is a fine head scout. I love Ruff. Darcy is a constrained by Quinn, who really runs that show. Same would be with another GM.

Cut Kelsey and give his $$ to Peters in addition to our offer. Problem solved, b/c no guaranteed contracts in the NFL. Then take Ayers with #11. Instant Upgrade.

Those were the examples the original poster gave. And last I looked, the Twins and A's have made the playoffs since 1999.

Even small market teams buck up for the big star...re: Justin Morneau or Joe Mauer with Minn; Eric Chavez and Miguel Tejada a few years ago for the A's.
