Given the complete lack of any sign of intelligence in any post you've ever made, i'll take this as a compliment. You've turned being clueless and wrong into an art form.

Try reading sometime. I'm one of the biggest Schobel supporters on the board. Peters simply wasn't worth the money. You dont want a lard ass, overweight, mentally deficient loser who only tries when he feels like it manning the LT spot for the next 6 years. The biggest mistake wasn't letting him go, it was not having an appropriate replacement. Its funny how you mention Peppers in the vein you do. Peters is basically the LT equivalent of Peppers. A hell of a player when they feel like, but neither one are worth the money being paid to them, because they only show up some of the time. As for Ochocinco, the biggest dropoff was in his catches and YPC. Housh kept the same role he had been doing, being the primary short route possession WR. Why did that happen? Because they had a pathetic excuse for a QB who simply couldn't get the ball to 85. Ochocinco could have caught 90+ passes too had he been targeted with every single short pass like Housh was. But go ahead and pretend that Palmer being hurt had nothing to do with the Bengals downfall in '08 and the drop in offensive #'s were all due to Ochocinco missing camp.

The cold hard facts are that he's never played in a pro style offense, has garbage mechanics (dont give me his "improved release" stuff either. His new release looks stiff and forced. Its not a natural throwing motion), his passes fultter, and he was never required to read a defense in gainesville. His options were throw to the primary WR or run the ball. I don't care about how he was able to pile up gaudy numbers against the likes of florida international and charleston southern. How have Timmy Chang, Colt Brennan, Eric Crouch, etc all faired after putting up astronomical numbers in college?

Ochocinco's down year in 2008 had everything to do with Fitzpatrick under center versus Palmer. The reason he bounced back again was because Palmer spent the entire season under center.

The difference is that Walter Jones and Orlando Pace (much like Bruce) could skip camp and still come in and play at a pro-bowl level. Jason Peters came in and played like a fat retarded slob. Stephen Hawking could have played better at LT than Peters in 2008. At least he could have recognized a blitzing safety instead of standing there picking his ass.

You see, what the coaches do is evaluate a player based on his play, and the circumstances (was the player playing injured?). Unlike message board know-it-alls, the coaches do NOT take into account a players draft spot when evaluating their play. And to the people trashing Whitner, someone please please please explain to me what his draft spot (4 years ago) has anything to do with how the coaches view his abilities as a safety?

I'll have a bit more later (i still think the ending will be Jack and Sawyer sitting on the beach, each having taken over (or have been forced to) the Jacob/MIB roles), but there are a couple of time discrepancies; 1. Richard wanted to go to the "New World" in 1867. By that time, the phrase "new world" would have long since left the lexicon of Europeans. 2. According to the ledger, the Black Rock last left port in 1845, lost at sea, and the ledger was discovered in 1852. How is the Black Rock still around in 1867 then? It was a good episode, but they've got a lot of things to tie up in the final few episodes. I hope, like SDS said, that they dont simply let things like the Dharma initiative, and why the "others" are so important just hang in the wind.

Because winning at any level of football depends on the team, not an individual player. Especially at the NCAA level, where winning is basically a function of the talent differential between teams. But, i guess its Clausen's fault that ND's defense couldn't stop anyone?

If you're into GM stuff, you could always give the TBD simulation league a try. As for madden, i am anxious to see what they come out with this year. Supposedly, (and this was just a rumor), '11 was supposed to be focused on the franchise mode, as well as the normal gameplay tweaks.

Well, the son of Satan had his own thread, so it only follows that the second coming of the son of God would get his own as well.

I've learned that there is an inverse relationship between the amount of enemies you are facing and their strength/intelligence/skill. Facing 50 guys with guns? No problem. Facing 1 guy with a drinking straw? You're in for an ass-whooping.

Got it. Buddy's an idiot for not signing a)a player who failed miserably in a 3-4 scheme last year, b) a WR who wasn't in any type of demand and "Texans would have been better off spending their money elsewhere", and c)a player who admittedly wasn't going anywhere except back to green bay. Next time, try to force others to have put some effort into making you look like an idiot, instead of ruining the fun and making yourself look like one.

That would go great with my Sabres shirt that has "NHL Western Conference" tags on it.

Maybe someone can answer me as to why Lynch's 2 seasons of 1000 yards and a pro-bowl appearance are "no big deal", while Freedy's lone 1000 yard season makes him almost canton worthy?

Please point out the games where tebow "willed his team to win." Was it when they were beating up on Florida international or charleston southern? Or maybe it was when he was drooling on the sidelines at kentucky? Or maybe when he was too busy throwing red zone INTs and getting his ass kicked in the SEC championship? The "will to win" is the biggest bullcrap argument out there.

Why? Does it confuse you on the inside? I think that your obsession with maybin in a thong and the feelings it stirs in your loins makes you hate yourself.

2 quick points: - the buccs will pass on McCoy and suh at #3 by trading down only over Dominik and morris' dead bodies. - you've stumbled on a key TBD paradox: draft picks are absolute gold to the board until they are used to select a player. Then, subsequent player sucks.

If we're talking the pre-injury Cadillac, then hell yes, Spiller is worth the pick. Spiller is a lot more involved in the passing game. The kid had 6-7 games last season of over 300 all-purpose yards. I'd have no problem taking that elite talent, because then we'd actually have someone on our offense that would make opposing defenses worry about.

You get an OT early, let Green start, and see if Green and Meredith can develop. Remember, Meredith was a rook last season. Players tend to make a big jump between years 1 and 2. Both of those guys are young and are perfectly ok manning the backup OT spots. Ideally, the Bills need to grab an OT early, then grab an OG and a G/C prospect in the mid to late rounds.

They should have the video posted to NFL.com soon, but here's a quick recap: -Rod Woodson said we have holes at QB, OT, and on defense, and we've failed to address any of the holes via free agency. -Eisen and Dukes spent a couple of minutes talking about how we have no viable QB on the roster, but Trent Edwards is a problem and we're not going anywhere with him. They said the same speculation, as in "lets see if the Bills make a play for Kolb/Vick" -Charles Davis said we could go QB or OT at #9, but he thinks the OTs worth taking will be gone by #9 and had us taking CJ Spiller. If you missed it, you really didn't miss anything of consequence.

Nothing wrong with taking Spiller at #9. The guy is electric. We don't have too many weapons on this team, and lets be honest, when was the last time we had a player who was a threat to go the distance every time he touched the ball?

Sure, lets trade Kyle Williams, a hell of a player, for a couple of mid round draft picks that each will have about a 10-15% chance of equaling Kyle Williams' success.

You're a bigger man than i am. If we <gulp> draft tebow, i will immediately take up the torch and pitchfork and begin to run him out of town.

Chan can devise an offense where the strength lies in fluttering passes thrown by a glorified H-back?

I can onyl speak from my own experience, but just about all of the Bills fans i actually know and talk to still think Whitner is a good safety. The Whitner "hate" seems to be centered on the interweb message boards.
