Yeah, and someone who correctly handled the Chicago Bears and Detroit lions QB situations over the last 10 years is probably uniquely qualified to help him

I wish the war room was on PPV for the draft...I know you cant do it for obvious reasons, but this is quality reality TV

Family Guy, 24, Daily Show, Apprentice, Around the Horn, PTI. The Office...thats probably about it on a regular basis...though I need to watch more of "How I Met your Mother". Saw one episode, and was extremely funny.

The gov't doesnt do ANYTHING efficiently. The JSF might be a giant a$$ kicking machine...but it aint cheap, and Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, General Dynamics and others make a killing off the governments inefficiency. In addition, the majority of the military uses old technology. This is by choice. They are afraid of anything modern. They want what they know works. Tried and True technology. The navy is about 20 years behind modern technology because it still works and is still 100 times better than anything anyone else has. Now they pay a fortune to maintain these old aging ships, but thats another story...

Kinda like saying, its not the kids that are the problem, its the parents. Some breeds are more prone to this kind of behavior (did not click on link..but im guessing what happens), but I have known very well behaved pit bulls. Its all about the owner.

Why do people think these contracts are so heavily backloaded? History of Salary Cap 2002 71mil 2003 75 mil 2004 81 mil 2005 85 mil 2006 102 mil In 5 years, the salary cap has gone up from 71 mil to 102 mil, a gain of over 40 percent. Lets assume the cap grows at 5% a year. 2007 107 mil 2008 112 mil 2009 118 mil Now, I havent seen anything as to the magnitude of a signing bonus, but im going to assume 2mil. That means, as a percentage of the salary cap 2006 Cap 102 mil / hit 1.1 mil 1.0% 2007 Cap 107 mil / hit 2.4 mil 2.2% 2008 Cap 112 mil / hit 2.8 mil 2.5% 2009 Cap 118 mil / hit 2.9 mil 2.5% This is NOT a backloaded contract. The pct of the cap hit is about the same years 2-4. First year is always low because you pay the guy the minimum and give him a signing bonus. This is SOP and not a backloaded contract. 2.5% of the cap for a guy like denney is probably reasonable.

Uh..um...yes and...uh...NO!

Belinda?

No.

I disagree. The first year almost always has a low cap number. This is because if you are paying a guy a 5 million dollar signing bonus, there is no need to pay him more than the minimum the first year, he is already getting 5M! Dont confuse Cap number with the amount ralph pays these guys. What is encouraging here is that salaries dont escalate much from year, and there is no baloon payment on the end. Also interesting is Royals contract peaks in the middle. Not sure what this means (if anything) except to say that the money is more "guarenteed" than the standard increasing every year contract, and also makes the contract more cap-friendly in the long run. These look to be some pretty sound contract numbers for these guys. Not sure who is taking care of the cap over at OBD, but early returns look positive.

And detroit has!

The formula is not released, but the #1 criteria is and has always been the net loss of players. Lose 2, gain 2...you get jack. We only got the 7th because JJ and PW earned bigger contracts than KH and Bennie.

Bad Link. Try here http://www.buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=3681

Trust me. WE WILL NOT SEE A 3RD ROUND PICK. The BEST we will see is a 6th rounder.

Just a 7th. If we are lucky a 6th...nothing more than that. Dont get your hopes up. BOOK IT.

Yeah, and there is no way Aaron Rogers falls either...

If we could have 10,000 of these peace clowns taken hostage in Iraq, think of how many insurgents that would tie up guarding them.

Problem with 911 on cell phones is that they dont provide an exact location. When you call from a cell phone they can get your GPS location, but if you are in a multi-story building you're SOL. Also, they might be able to locate your neighborhood, but cant get a whole lot more specific in some cases... This is why I am not yet ready to get rid of my landline (or switch to vonage).

He wont...listen to his press conference on the 21st. He said "what I dont want is a rookie QB coming in here who is supposed to be the savior" No worries...he aint gunna take a qb

Every team should be interested. I dont get this. Seems like a decent guy, had a horrible situation in GB with a contract that pays him less than he is worth. He decided he would play out his contract anyway, risking injury...he got hurt. He has the sense to dump his agent and start over. They guy clearly has talent, all he wants now is some money. Give the guy a decent incentive contract, give green bay moulds and/or a 2nd day pick and pick the guy up...cant hurt.

Tough call here. If we can get him for a 4th, I'd do it... I would consider a 3rd, but it would have to come with a contract extension and some hard thinking.

I like the thinking, so I'll try not to critisize too much! BUT... a) I think #8 for denvers 2 1sts is a pretty fair deal and on the table as is...no need to add EM. b) Doubtful bunkly will be there at #22. He is showing up top 10 right now in many mocks. c) 1st round is historically VERY high for a Center. Maybe he is worth it, I dont know much about him, but I am guessing its pretty likely he will be there for our pick in the 2nd. Its a tough call. Depends on who is there at #22. If we can pull some sort of miracle out of the hat and get Bunkley or Chad Jackson, after moving down, I'll be thrilled. I cant remeber who said it, but someone suggested Moulds and a 3rd/4th to Green Bay for Walker. I think that makes sense for both teams.

Okay, what was the first thing YOU thought of?..and what does that say about you! You know you have been spending too much time on TBD too long when you see the headline "Pope holds first meeting with Cardinals" and the first thing you think of is "dang, we lost him too?!" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060323/ap_on_...tican_cardinals

I suppose kicking your daughter out of the house is not an option.... Think about it 1) Cheaper Car insurance 2) Establishes herself as an "independant" thus lessening your need to pay college costs 3) More free time Tempting? Still not an option? Dang...sorry! Seriously though...I have no idea if this is legal or not, but I'd try calling some other companies and get quotes and tell them the complete situation. See if the tune changes with other companies.

Sorry if this is a repost, but it looks like a few things are evident 1) He thinks Nall can compete for a starting job. 2) He wants competition at QB but does not want a young "saviour" rookie coming in. 3) Specifically stated that Safety needs to be addressed and that we "need to see how the draft comes down" Kinda interesting if you ask me. I think with these comments, Young, Leinert and Cutler are out of the picture come draft day. Also, Huff is a strong possiblity.
