MARK WARNER...I cant yell any louder...MARK WARNER

Sorry I try as best I can not to play this "liberal vs. conservative" label game. Also, although i read and post in this forum fairly often, I dont really keep up with who says what, and whos opinion is what on what. I have to take every post at face value or I will go crazy. There are much more important things in my life than remembering where everyone here stands on every issue. Since we evidently agree on this issue, I would hope that you could see where I was coming from when i jumped on ya! I just go crazy when i hear rhetoric which is factually incorrect spewed forth like its common knowlege. Both political parties are hurting america. I tend to side with the republican side of things, because I expect more of them. They typically run on morality, fiscal responsibility and accountability, but then they do the opposite. The vast majority of democrats havent run on anything since at least 1996. Since I dont trust republicans anymore to be fiscally responsible, acconutable and moral, I would consider voting for a democrat who claims to be. Unfortunatly this democratic candidate would need to also have some credibility that they would uphold these promises. Hillary, Biden, Daschle...good night. MARK WARNER. End of Story. I WILL vote for mark warner if he runs unless the republican candidate knocks me away... but unfortunatly it will be hillary clinton vs. some crazy right winger and we are back where we started. Its time for a real 3rd party.

Amusing..yet typical "He said there was no change in France's overall policy, which rules out the use of nuclear weapons in a military conflict." yet...he says he woulndt rule them out in response to an attack. Seems contridictory to me

I dont know how you can read into my post and infer than I am pro-spending and pro-big government, but I can clearly see in your post where you infered that the problem was cutting taxes and increasing spending, which is a completly asinine thing to allege because one has nothing to do with the other. It is a common left wing talking point which, as usual, has no basis in reality. But I dont think you and I disagree as much as you would like us to. I agree with you on one half your argument. Spending is out of control. Bush had some extenuating circumstances over the last 5 years, but that does not obsolve him of any responsibility in controlling spending. Its like saying a child molester was abused as a child. It may help to explain why the situation occured, but it does not make what was done acceptable. We are severly overtaxed as a society, even with the recent tax cuts. I would call for even more tax cuts at regular intervals, and monitor federal revenues. Once federal revenues are actually begin to decline with decreasing taxes, keep going. Take some of the money out of politics. Let people keep their own money, and decrease the "need" for goverment handouts. Let people invest. Let companies afford to do business in america again. If the top marginal tax rate in this country was 20%, I think we would be going in the right direction.

Please check to see how federal revenue has changed with regard to the tax rate, then come back here and try to prove your argument. If you cant see how federal revenue could increase with a tax cut, and how that would indicate we are overtaxed as a society...sorry.

Um...the guy couldnt win south dakota as his parties majority leader...Somehow if he cant win south dakota, he probably cant win any state bush took in 04 or 08. If the democrats are SERIOUS about winning this election, they have to go towards Mark Warner of VA.

If I recall correctly, he was even Miamis intirim head coach when wanny got fired, and did pretty darn well. Probably could have/would have gotten the job if saban stayed at LSU

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5256574 So much for that!

Musta been his pilot.

I thought it was the philadelphia bills... Another year, another comparison.

With less than 2 minutes let...dont you take a time out to get your play right?

Losman...Bledsoe...Rob Johnson..Todd Collins... Yep. none of the above.

I cant WAIT to see Cowers press conference

Looks more like Woody Paige's hair.

Minority interview.

He wouldnt? Ya know, this is almost perfect. Losman needs a good mentor, and there is nobody he loves more than brett. Brett loves Sherman. Sherman is a good coach (one of the best available proven coaches). Not that I can see Brett leaving GB, but if he goes anywhere, its whever sherman goes. This unfairly leaves Holcomb out in the cold..but its not the first time for that!

That herm edwards already found a new home?

Minority interview?

Agree. MW was held in the same regard as Debrickshaw Furgeson is right now. Imagnine if we select ferguson and 4 years from now he is Mike Williams. Was it a mistake? Yes. Would Marv be responsible for this mistake? No, not really. Nobody would see it coming. Its a consensus pick. TD gets a pass on the MW pick.

Yeah, he couldnt work with Donavan McNabb...no way he gets along with Losman.

wow, are there any permutation of available coaches and available jobs thats NOT on that webpage?

Well... Obviously yearly salary counts against that years cap. If a player signed a 10 year contract worth 60 million dollars (including a 10 mil bonus), assuming a linear salary distribution (unlikely) his cap would look like this: Year 1: 1mil bonus (10mil/10years) + 5 mil (salary) = 6 mil total cap hit. This continues on until the contrat terminates. Now if a player is cut after year 7, the bonus remaining is escalated. So the remaining 3 mil on his signing bonus is all due in the year he is cut. (there are ways to reduce this and spread it over 2 years, but you wanted the basics). Also, after Week 1, all salaries for the year are guarenteed. (unless you pull a TO...but I wont go there) Thats it in a nutshell. You now know more than 90% of football fans... But You can dig much deeper and learn about incentive pay. Essentially there is likely to be earned bonuses (such as McGahee starting 8 games) and Unlikely to be earned bonuses (Such as Losman throwing for 4000 yards). LTBE incentives count against the cap, unlikely to be earned bonuses dont initially. Also, the reason contract restructurings are typically bad for cap management is because it converts some current salary into a signing bonus, thus increasing the cap number in future years for short term gain. For instance, take player A, he has a 3 year deal worth 36 mil with a 6 mil signing bonus, and again a linear distribution of salary. Year 1 Cap Hit (2 mil bonus + 10 mil salary = 12 mil cap hit) Now after year 1, the team restructures his salary for cap relief in year 2. They do so by taking the 10 mil he is due in salary for year 2, and convert 8 mil of that into a bonus. Year 2 Cap Hit (2 mil bonus + 4 mil bonus (8 mil in new bonus/2 years left on the contract) + 2 mil salary (10 mil original salary-8 mil due to the restucturing). Total Cap hit, 8 mil, a savings of 4 million for the team. BUT...in year 3 watch what happens Year 3 Cap hit (2 mil bonus +4 mil bonus +10 mil salary) = 16 mil total cap hit and the reason Ty Law is no longer on the Patriots. Also note this was assuming a linear salary distribution, a typical NFL contract pays small salaries in year one (due to the large bonus recieved), and escalates as the years go by, thus causing the above affect to be even more pronounced. This is a simple scenario, obviously, the effect can be lessened by getting a player to take a pay cut or increase the length of the contract offer to spread out the new bonus over more years. That said, there are a ZILLION cap rules. There is a reason teams hire respected professionals to do nothing but deal with the cap. You cant expect to nail down excat numbers. Even Clumping Platelets usually cant get it within a couple percent, and he is by far the best I have seen at breaking down the cap numbers. There is also alot of information that we do not know that affects the cap. So I hope that was simple enough to understand. Good luck learning the cap..and when you do, come back and share!

Apparently pretty well!

Working good now. musta been some problem here...

Is anyone getting this game in HD? I live in the norfolk va area and cannot get the game in HD...I get a signal on my HD Fox channel, but no HD.
