  1. We'll see how long it takes Denver to find a franchise QB. So far, we are going on 12 years (although I hope Trent steps up this year).
  2. This does not apply to QBs. The Bills have spent 3 1st round picks, 1 2nd round pick and 1 3rd round pick trying to find a franchise QB since Kelly left (One for RJ, One for Bledsoe, One for JP, the 2nd for Todd Collins and the 3rd for Trent). No offense, but I think CHicago made out on this deal, Cutler is the real deal, a true franchise QB.
  3. They both hit drivers.
  4. Kelly and Ralph apparently have a handshake agreement. I think Kelly has spoken to Ralph about this, and Ralph is on board. Ralph just does not want to sell until death. There could even be an unannounced side agreement. As to Kelly's financial backing, I had long assumed Bob Rich was the guy. Rich has been quiet since he lost out on MLB. There could be others in the group as well ($1 bil is a big nut) such as Golisano, Jacobs, Hamister etc. You can have small minority investors who own other teams in other markets, just not the majority guy. I admit, I never considered Trump...thats actually very interesting.
  5. I think she's hot and would love to party with her.
  6. I enjoy playing it a couple times a year. Lots of fun and there are some decent places to play in the tri-state area.
  7. Yes, but depending on your personal situation, many private insurance plans offer cheaper, customizable options.
  8. Waaahhh!! Give the money back! Waaaahhhh!! Clawback!! Waaaahhhhh!! Quit your whining.
  9. Worst baseball movie ever. The best... 1- Bull Durham 2- Major League 3- Bad News Bears 4- Pride of the Yankees 5- The Natural 6- Field of Dreams 7- Eight Men Out
  10. And Senate Republicans dance in the streets as they are poised to take back the Senate after Democrat Tax-a-poloza. Once that happens, nothing will change and NYers will still be massively overtaxed.
  11. I only say "unfortunately" because I do enjoy a good smoke. Plenz...quick question for you...have you had a cigar since you quit the cigarettes? If so, how did that go? If not, any plans to enjoy the occasional cigar?
  12. RObert Ayers not even mentioned at DE. Thats a big mistake as I think he's our pick at 11.
  13. Not if the bond market has anything to say about it, based on today's auction.
  14. Wonder why we did not bring in Goff, he seems like a decent player.
  15. I give the guy credit, if it was me, you'd have to pry the bonus out of my cold, dead hands.
  16. Keep studying. A CFA designation will always get you hired on the street.
  17. Guess we can put to bed the idea that Wall Street is not hiring. Keep pouring on the populist outrage over compensation and noone will be left at firms that took TARP to right that ship. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...&refer=home
  18. The B word of it is they actually received the bonuses and paid income taxes (state and federal on it). Wonder if the return of the bonuses to AIG will require them to pay the gift tax?
  19. Totally wrong. First, the school could actually have questioned her as to whetehr or not she had pills. Per the article they never asked. Second, if they suspected she had the pills (and was lying after questioning), could they not have contacted her parents, had the parents come to the school and dealt with the issue in this manner? Methinks the "strip search" goes far overboard in what constitutes "reasonable."
  20. Sept/Oct Sundays free for golf
  21. Hey Tim Any possibility the Bills sign a guy like Mike Goff to play LG? He would likely take a reasonable deal and would be a solid vet upgrade. Thanks.
  22. I think Mike Goff is still available. He a solid vet at LG, blocked for LT in SD, and could probably be had for a reasonable price. Not a bad deal.
  23. Hope you also agree with the bolded changes above....
  24. Given the TO for one year signing, I'm hoping they go all in. If not, you know TO was just to sell a few tickets.
  25. As a big Duke fan I totally agree with this post and Gordio's assessment. K has backed off a lot of guys since the Magette fiasco and have not recruited the type of athlete that can win one-on-one battles at crunch time...guys like Grant Hill, Roshawn McCloud, Maggette, Jason Williams etc. Outside of Laettner and Brand, Duke has never had great bigs, just shot-blocker/space-eaters. Zoubek is fine for what he provides (provided he stays out of foul trouble), he was great until getting into foul trouble in the first Mich game at the Garden (the only live Duke game I saw all year). Watching on TV gives you a skewed perspective. The UNC games really show how far above Duke UNC is talent-wise. Duke needs more athletes. They will always get a decent big or two and some great shooters and scrappy points (even tho I am not a Paulus fan), the difference is when Duke recruits the true athletes that can dominate, which they can get, same as UNC/Kansas. As for the 3 pointers, just compare and contrast the 2 Wake games, game 1 Duke shoots 4-22 and bombs (despite the bs close final score), game 2 8-23 and Duke rolls by 10. You can't just look at shooting percentages, they do not count how the 3 sets up Duke's halfcourt offense. When Duke is making 3's, the whole offense opens up for the halfcourt game of Henderson and Singler to a point.
