Just bumping this... a signed Marv Levy football and Joe D's Electric COmpany bracelet are whats available. http://auction.steinersports.com/cgi-bin/n...CategoryDisplay

Huh?? I must be missing something here. Professor?

The good benefits... 1- 401k Match - 4% match on 401k, 2% discretionary (have matched discretionary every year I've been here). 2- Life Insurance - They give us life insurance equal to 6x's our salary, plus an extra $500k if your death is accidental. 3- Education Payments - They pay for my Continuing Legal Education courses and my State Bar Membership 4- Disability - Will pay me 50% of my salary tax free if I go out on long term disability. 5 - Flex Time - We have the ability to take a free flex day every other week, as long as we worked the requisite 8 hours in the preceding 9 work days. Basically I have every other Friday off for free. 6 - Car Service - This is a must in NYC. After 9 PM, free car service home. The bad benefits (more of what I don't have, I never want to call something a "bad" benefit, I may not use it, because someone else may)... 1- Life Insurance - Can't get the same 6x my salary deal on my wife. Only can take 25k on her. 2- Gym membership - I really wish we had this. 3- Corporate Events - At my company it may be a bit of a conflict of interest, but perks such as Yankee Tickets or the ability to use an area country club once a summer would be nice. I never heard the fly your spouse on a business trip thing, thats pretty cool.

LG and NT have been problem areas for our team for years. Since Satan Donahoe let Rueben Brown and Pat Williams leave, saying they were both done. This year, both Rueben and Fat Pat go to the Pro Bowl. And Pat should have made it last year as well. Both guys live in Buffalo (still), are respected locker room guys, are playing at a high level at obvious need positions for us, and yet Satan Donahoe's hubris was so great that he let both go, because they weren't "his" players. If these holes are not filled this offseason, that will have been 4 years for NT and 6 years for LG, that we have been desperately trying to fill these holes. Talk about setting a franchise back...Hey Donahoe... you!!!

I recently ordered The Devil wears Prada. Suprisingly decent.

I couldn't agree with you more. Health insurance for the game's greats doesn't seem like too much to ask. Nor is a reasonable pension to ensure a modest standard of living. $158 or whatever it was is downright insulting.

Just an FYI, Kelly takes all the blame for the loss in XXV. He called all the plays, foolishly tried to air it out aginst the nickel and dime. He readily admits this in one the all time great Bills books, Vic Carucci's The 1990 Buffalo Bills and the Almost Dream Season Carucci's Book If you haven't read it, I suggest you do. Its a very good read.

But MLB is one position where rooks have stepped in, started immediately and made a big impact. Urlacher, Lewis, Vilma, Z. Thomas, Lofa Tatupu are all examples of MLBs that made huge impacts on their teams as rooks. The success rate may be close to RB in terms of immediate impact. If Willis is the pick, I suspect he will be a huge upgrade in run D from Fltecher, but a downgrade in pass D, at least at first. With Simpson and Whitner have a year of experience in the system, I think Willis will be used closer to the line of scrimmage than Fletcher last year.

Holy weapons of mass destruction Batman!!

Hence the reason I am advocating an all out push to sign FA DT Terdell Sands. He's a massive, space eating, lane clogging DT who's young and who could help our run D immediately.

Second to that one. I'll say a prayer.

Patrick Willis

So...lessee....(hopeful acquisition in CAPS, resigns in italics) DE - Schobel, Hargrove 3 Tech DT - Tripplett, McCargo NT - TERDELL SANDS, Kyle Williams DE - Kelsey, Denney SLB - Takeo Spikes MLB - PATRICK WILLIS WLB - Angelo Crowell CB - McGee, Thomas SS - Whitner FS - Simpson CB - Clements, Youboty I can live with this!

Here's the link to the auction, some Bills stuff from Joe D and Marv Levy... Auction Preview I think the NFL needs to do a bit more for former players, like providing medical coverage.

You ought to finish. It would look bad on a resume. BTW - Not every lawyer works 80+ hours a week. Just some of us!! There are many different types of practicing law. You say you wanted to be a litigator, but wanted to spend all your time in court. Well what about becoming a District Attorney? Big court time, good work and experience, law is mostly settled (so not as much research), just a thought. Depending on what type of work interests you, a law degree will only help. Yes, you can say you didn't want to practice, but the experience of law school taught me how to analyize and break down complex problems, applying the rules to the facts. This type of analysis is required in every industry.

Never look back, only forward.

Actually its a very good site for fantasy baseball news. Required daily reading for me during baseball season.

Hey Rock, ever considered doing some type of consulting work? You've obviously been in a business for a long time (not sure what business), but with your medical covered and being paid thru June, now may be a decent time to try something on your own. Just a thought. Best of luck.

Saints, Eagles, Colts, Giants, Packers, Panthers...just to name a few.

LMAO!

IMHO, Its just a little busy for a logo. I kinda follow the K.I.S.S. rule, simple and classic is generally better.

Read the PETA thread.

What was wrong with Grimm? I thought he was a pretty good coach. Was he too into boozin in the south side?

Actually, it is very good. After Seinfeld, he franchised around the city. Here's his site... Soup Nazi
