  1. Really depends on the scope of the commitment to me. I keep forgetting that we had less than a 1/4 Sammy last year--even when he was out there -- there wasn't the impact or the need for the opponent to game plan to him. That makes the running game success even more amazing.

     

    I am happy for Tyrod ---who seems like a really, really wonderful individual. I just wish we had one or two late game successes against a good team to point to that show me he can win in the clutch.

     

    So the Bills need another receiver, the line needs to show it can zone block, Dennison and Castillo need to adjust play calling to Shady's running style, Culley needs to watch a lot of film with Tyrod and teach him how to pre-snap read a little better and getting his footwork right under pressure and on the run.

     

    It could be worse...but the good news is the coaches think enough of Tyrod to stake their regime start on him.

     

    He left the game vs Miami with the lead and "saved" the season. He played his best game as a Bill in that game. I was hoping he would get another chance to build upon that success. Looks like he will.

     

    Sometimes QBs need to be "developed" and I think he is developing quite nicely.

     

    Lets get a RT and a WR in FA/draft and roll.

  2.  

    To boil it down, Taylor doesn't get it done in crunch time. Forget comparing stats, records, metrics...NFL QBs are judged by what they do in crunch time. I can only remember one game in which Taylor did this.

     

     

    You mean the potential season saving game vs Miami when he left the field in the 4th quarter with the lead after driving his team down the field for the potential winning TD? Too bad Rex's defense could do squat. IF we had Schwartz's defense with Greg Roman's offense the last two years we would have made the playoffs both years.

  3. Iceland is AWESOME! Rekjavik is a very fun party town. The people are friendly and I thought the food was pretty good. Iceland Air runs specials all the time where they will give you a free hotel room if you book a "stopover" flight to mainland Europe. Since I cant stand sitting on a plane for more than 5-6 hours, thats how I always go to Europe. Stopover in Rekjavik each way. Sometimes I have to pay for the hotel myself if the airline is not running a special, but its still a very good deal.

  4. I have stayed at this resort and sat on this very beach. Its a little sand/beach area along the lakefront. Maybe 5 feet wide of sand. Its very shallow along the edge. It seems, from what I read, that the parents were closeby and watching the child waiting for the fireworks show to begin. Its a common place to watch the fireworks.

     

    There was a No Swimming sign posted but nothing about gators when I was there.

     

    The problem may be that the gator may have been too used to people. Not having a natural fear of humans (maybe because the gator was hand fed at some point) meant this gator just waltzed up and saw an easy meal.

     

    I cannot imagine anything more horrific to happen to a family. My prayers go out to them.

  5. If you use baseball as a guide (the only other sport where the bats/balls can be tinkered with to gain an advantage), he should be suspended. Pitchers are suspended all the time for doctoring baseballs, similarly hitters with corked bats. Most suspensions for this sort of thing in baseball is 8-10 games....not much considering the season is 162 games. Now the NFL doesn't want to look soft here and the Pats* are repeat offenders in rule bending, so I think Brady gets 4 games with it being reduced on appeal to 2 games. Just my gut feeling.

  6. The first item you pack for family trips is a fresh bottle of Laphroaig 10 year Cask Strength (my daily go to). When said trip lasts more than 3 nites, you pack a second bottle. Mind you....we will be out to dinner every nite drinking beer, wine etc., and grab a roadie from the hotel bar on the way upstairs. But hotel bars close early and I tend to be nocturnal.

  7. In Austin, we now have bike lanes on nearly every major street...but every morning, driving to work, it is inevitable that I am stuck behind a bike or two that refuses to ride in the bike lane...what's it gonna take? What's it gonna take!!!!

     

    Add one of these to your car. Fire away. They will move.

  8. I know.

     

    What the hell is wrong with us? The internet gives us endless opportunity to see all kinds of beautiful women in whatever mode of undress and/or degradation that we prefer. Yet, the chance of peeking at a blurry snapshot of some random anonymous (fully clothed) regular girl that happens to be known to one of us is irresistable. The male mind is truly a sinister and despicable abomination. And thank god for that!

     

    Cheers. :beer:

     

    Post of the day right there! Well done sir!
