The Yankees have been using purported "stadium debt" to avoid the bulk of their luxury taxes for the last several years.
IT IS A RUSE.

No the point isn't who he was pushing around - the point is the effort and intensity he demonstrated on film in college, which he simply abandoned once he became a pro. It happens - there are some guys who just don't love the game that much and are content to collect a few years of huge paychecks. Hopefully he's invested it well.

I'm no expert. I just remember watching film of both McKinnie and Mike Williams (chest) prior to the draft, and I remember being struck by how Williams (chest) would just punish defenders on running plays - Williams (chest) would play past the whistle, continuing to pin down and beat the hell out of guys twenty yards downfield on running plays. By contrast, McKinnie struck me as somewhat unathletic and stiff, preferring to swallow up passrushers with his arms rather than shift his legs and weight. I remember thinking that wouldn't bode well for his play against speedrushers in the NFL, something that has proven to be true.
For all of you who think McKinnie should've been "the man," consider that he's never, not once, dominated a game against an elite speed rusher. The fact is, as some here have pointed out, neither McKinnie nor Williams (chest) were deserving of a top-five pick.
This thread should be entitled, "How did the Bengals outsmart everyone else and have Levi Jones at the top of their board?"

The original post was right about Moulds - he wants out, no question about it. However the point about Williams is dead-wrong... the guy is an unmotivated loser who squandered a ton of opportunities to prove himself. I mean they gave him every single benefit of the doubt for three years, and he gave back nothing in return. A shame.

That was Pennington.

Cutting Mike Williams (chest) doesn't surprise me, but the TIMING of it is somewhat odd - why now? To me, it's obvious: immediate cap room is needed in order to lock up Nate long-term. Seems to me like a solid tradeoff, provided they don't overpay for Nate. I would expect an announcement within 7-10 days that Nate will be a Bill for the next 6 years.

Sure, maybe I'll get a shot too, since it's an "open competition."
Whatever dude.

Why, Tom, are you gonna dress up as a cake for him?

Anyone know what this entails? I'd appreciate a description. Try to resist the urge to add a sarcastic response, please...

Yes, I will say it again:
This is the Guy I Want Us to Draft.
Assuming DeMario Williams is gone (a safe assumption), I'd rather we take an instant top-five tight end than an eventual top-40 defensive tackle (Ngata).

I disagree with the premise. If we had drafted Big Ben and he, unlike JP, hadn't gotten hurt during preseason 2004, I bet he would've taken over for Bledsoe after the Raiders game and we very likely would have won just as many games, including the Steelers game (against JP?). We would've been in the playoffs in 2004, which totally changes the mindset of the 2005 team.

I'm sure he would love to come here for backup money and be a backup to Willis McGahee instead of going to Philadelphia where he could start for a successful, established team.
Is there ANY crazy idea that doesn't get its own thread on this Board?

I think perhaps there are two prevailing views regarding what a sports message board is supposed to be:
1) a means of ascertaining an objective truth through the collective commentary. Sort of like slowly chipping away at a stone until a beautiful sculpture is revealed, this camp wants each post to be its own unique contribution to the Truth that the thread eventually discovers;
2) an outlet for sports fans who, although passionate about their team, don't have too much free time and thus can't be expected to slog through all 18 pages of a thread entitled "Sherman to be named Bills head coach" before posting their idea about that topic.
I'm guessing you might fall into category 1. I fall into category 2. I apologize in advance if I repost things - if so, please ignore my post (if you don't already as a matter of course). I try not to rehash things already stated, especially when starting a new thread. But I simply can't promise I will take the time every time I post to account for every single idea that has already been offered.
-
Why not let the community "vote on" or "rate" individual posters and/or threads, like some other message boards do? I prefer market self-regulation to leftist rule-making, command-economy interventionism. More efficient, and more friendly.
(sorry if already posted)
(why not just accept peoples' apologies in advance, i.e., "sorry if already posted"?)

Moss v. TO 2x/year
-
Yeah, I don't think that's too bad a list, especially when you add undrafted free agents.
-
If Tennessee takes a QB I have to think it will be Young. McNair and Young are very close personally, McNair wants to play another year or two, and so it's the perfect situation for both players and the team.
-
Perhaps Young, with Mularkey as his OC. Maybe Cutler, with Saban's SEC background. Leinart would surprise me.
-
I agree that it's time to start thinking about London's replacement. If we can land D'Qwell Jackson in the second round (unlikely), it's a great pick.

Milloy and Campbell released.
