  1. I was thinking last week that if this happened, for not taking Kenyatta Walker, we will have gotten Nate Clements, Travis Henry, Brandon Spoon and Kenyatta Walker. :D

    Kenyatta seems to be alot like JJ, he can't play an entire season and he isn't a top LT. His upside could be better then Sheltons if McNally feels he can work with him

    Walker's salary is considerably less then Sheltons but Walker also has 1 less year on his deal.

     

    2005 2500000.00

    2006 827500.00

     

    Shelton looks a little more solid stat wise, but will cost us 3 mil a season and he is older.

  2. If Clements is traded to the Redsucks it will be for much more then just the #9 pick.

     

    In fact it will cost them next years #1 as well, or this years #1, #2, and #3.

     

    Clements will not be let go for anythng less then the bank.

     

    We also have the option of bringing in Ty Law for veteran corner help and he won't be nearly as expensive as people think.

  3. When did Battlestar Gallactica start?  Is it really worth watching?  I saw something the other day about a movie or series (not sure which) called Revelation (NBC?) I think.  Anyone going to watch it.

    BSG is pretty damn cool show. It is so much better and different then the cheesy 70's version.

     

    You can rent the mini-series (from last year) and then tune into SCI-FI for the series which started this year.

     

    I strongly recommend watching it however if you do not watch it from the begginning its easy to be lost.

  4. Reviewing the draft pick value chart's point system, that's about roughly the cost in points for JP.

     

    We gave up last year's 2nd rd pick(#43) that's valued at 470 points, 5th rd pick(#144) that's valued at  34 points, and this year's 1st rd pick that's the #20 overall that's valued at 850 points. That's a value of 1354 points. The #9 pick overall in a draft is worth 1350 points. Am I looking at this the right way? If I am, is this too high or too low for JP? I'm not sure, but I do know that the value in points that Dallas gave up at the #22 pick overall last year was worth 780 points. Looking at it like this I think Dallas made out pretty good. I would have done it if I were them, wouldn't you.

    We didn't give up this years 1st rd pick we swapped this years 1st rd for Dallas's last years 1st rd

     

    so in my calculations the value for the trade was only 504 pts

  5. just had arthroscopic knee surgery (second time in 14 years)

     

    they gave me percocet and it ain't doing anything for me, but killing my gut. i'm no strangerto vicodin, but isn't percocet supposed to be stronger?

    285429[/snapback]

     

     

    percocet and vicodin seem to work differently for different poeple.

     

    Tell your Dr. and he'll probably give you a script for vicodin.

     

    personally I prefer demerol :angry:

  6. If the article in the buffalo News is accurate and the Cardinals have an offer on the table for a straight up trade, and Henry is not holding things up with contract demands, then I think the Bills should pull the trigger.

    283392[/snapback]

     

    But if the Bills do not think highly of Shelton then the deal doesn't benefit the Bills at all.

     

    Why waste the trade, there is still a month to go before the draft and if nothng better surfaces then the Bills might bite.

  7. OK, let's talk about the Dead and their so-called "jazz"....

    Their "jazz" consisted of an actual SIPLIFICATION of simple rock chord progressions wth simplified 9th and 7th partial bar chords...Over this TRASH, Garcia could make a Dorian scale (Pentatonic  plus two notes) work over these fewer and simplified chords and ramble on for hours with their odd facial expressions and tie-dyed shirts.  So.... their audience full of acid-tripped imbeciles swayed and cheered to this endless, soul-less, repetitive trash just as they would also stare at a dendelion for hours on end... AND THEY COULD ALL FEEL LIKE THEY WERE "PART OF SOMETHING"

    Without the drugs both on and in front of the stage, the Dead would be NOTHING

    works for me

  8. I emailed John Clayton and this was is quick reply to me

     

    I'm going off management council numbers. There were at $650,000 on Thursday. They cleared $1.6 million of room Friday morning, so they are at $2.265 million. That's no misprint. They don't have much room.

     

    I emailed him back for some more enlightenment but he probably gets hammered with tons of these types of emails.

     

    It was cool of him to reply as quickly has he did to me.

  9. The 26-year-old Gandy has spent his entire four-year NFL career with the Chicago Bears and has appeared in 32 games, starting 30 over the course of his career.

     

     

    Last season, Gandy played in and started five games at RG and in 2003; he started 14 games at LT. In 2002, the Rockford, IL native played in 13 games, starting 11, and saw action at both guard and tackle.

    The guy is young and just coming into his own. He's affordable and this is the kind of pickups TD is looking at.

     

    His stats aren't earth shattering but he is solid.

  10. Of course Gilmour did extended solos.  But not nearly to the extent that the Dead would.  I like guitar solos and drums solos, but not a whole show filled with them.

    262556[/snapback]

     

    Then you never really listened to the Dead. The Dead averages 2.5 - 3.5 hours of music played per show. They averaged 15 - 20 songs per show. Although there jams we're extended and experimental many of them we're just plain and simply fascinating grooves, rhythms and leads.

     

    Many people hated the Deads music, or just never gave it a chance. But it is all nothing more then "To each there own"

     

    Do people realize how much influence Jerry Garcia had at popularizing Blue Grass music ? Has anyone here listen to the Garcia and Grisman quintet ?? Polar opposite of you'd expect and very highly acclaimed music.

     

    I loved the Dead, I loved Phish, I listen to tons of moe., Galactic, Karl Densons Tiny Universe, Greyboy Allstars. all of these are jam bands that play lots of live shows that follow experimentation in in rhythm, groove, funk and leads.

     

    I also love equally Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Black Zabbath, CSNY, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, the doors, Frank Zappa among.

     

    I just don't understand the blind hatred, or the need to proclaim one band more superior then the other, or to label Dead fans and Phish fans as drugged out losers. I've done my share of partying on the road, I won't deny that. It was all in good fun. I find it hard to believe anyone here who went to see Clampton, Floyd, Zeppelin or any really good band didn't lubricate themselves with something.

  11. You wait and see how/what MW does this year.

     

    Does he show up at all the mini camps, and appear to be following a regimen?

     

    Does he show up on time and in shape for training camps?

     

    Does he fight for the shot to be the Bills LT of the future?

     

    If he does those things and has a great camp, then and only then would

    I approach MW and seek out an extension.

     

    MW will still get a big payday out of it, but we should be able to restrucuter a more cap friendly contract with training camp incentives and workout bonuses.

     

    The bottom line is we don't want to pay MW anymore or extend him until we are feeling alot more comfortable after last years training camp/offseason debacle

  12. LMAO !!!

     

    You just have hatred for something you don't like personally. Nobody ever said you have to like them.

     

    Everyones entitled to an opinion, but millions of people definitly feel quite differently about Grateful Dead and their influence.

     

    "once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right:"

     

    Peace
