  1. No one could successfully argue this so it's a great way to end the thread.. IMO :)

    Yeah those people who cannot afford health insurance, a car to get to a decent job, money to put in a retirement fund, a house, and other basic living expenses.

     

    Let the corporations milk the people for what they can. Thats why our system is failing as much as it is. Keep the wealth at the top, create desperation, and competiton at the lower half so people would be willing to jump though a flaming hoop to get that 1 job.

     

    All always be pro-union. I've seen enough stupidity and evil doings from those in the tower and wallstreet to realize it is one of the few ways most of us have at getting our share. I've worked 50 - 80 hour weeks for over half of my professional career to have a few extra bucks. I pay all my bills and I have not been on a vacation in over 5 years. I was given time and half for hours over 40, double time on Sundays, and triple time on holidays. That's fair. After all those hours and decent paychecks I have just enough to put a few bucks away, keep my used cars running, put some money into my home, keep the shelves moderately stocked with food and have a decent Christmas. I can not see how getting people solid benefits and higher wages is a bad thing for anyone.

     

    Too much greed at the top of the ladder, and the people who are fighting for $15, $20, and $30 hr wages with solid benefits deserve every penny !!!!! This contry does not work without people on the bottom so its time to make sure the wealth is shared. If you want to make more then you work harder and work your way up, but basic living in this country should include more then "downgrade to a bicycle and huff it to work" mentality. That thought disgusts me.

     

    Unions have their pros and cons, but I belong to local IAM751 and I thank the higher power every single day that I have them. Without them I wouldn't have call back rights to my high payin job, I wouldn't have 2 weeks vacation and I wouldn't have a pension plan, or health insurance for my family.

     

     

    I guess what disgusts me the most is the way too many candy asses subscribe to the thought process of the wealthy.

  2. The question isn't about the 6 mill he'll make this year if this number is fact (which I stil see little to support it)

     

     

    The question is how much was turned into bonus money and how many years has he been extended ?

     

    6 million this year could be peanuts if its spread out over 4 more years with manageable salary cap hits.

  3. I'm 100% union, especially seeing how ignorant and selfish corporate CEO's, VP's, and other high up white collar personell are.

     

    I watched the Boeing corp layoff 10,000+ workers only to see about 50 million in bonuses be handed out to these corporate big wigs.

     

    Unions are there to make sure us blue collar folk have good work that helps us take care of our families. This country needs a strong return to the union mentality. Otherwise we will see the present labor situation in this country get worse. Less benefits, less pay, just plain less.

  4. Yeah I would love to see them put together another movie. I love a good stoner flick.

    to name a few

     

     

    Monty Python promised to put a reunion together while they were at the Aspen comedy festival a few years ago but it never materialized.

  5. 1.) Jones

    2.) Pace

    3.) Jennings

     

    I would rather have either Jones or Pace over Jennings, but thats is going to cost some cash.

     

    Knowing that 2007 is a non salary cap year it maybe possible to give a big payday year to one of these top OT's in 2007 and salvage the cap hits across the rest of the years to something more palatable

  6. Does Clements want to be extended or is he going to want to test the market ???

     

    Does Clements want to reamin a Bill or does he want his payday ???

     

    You don't have to remind many of us who are well aware of Clements situation. However we do need to addres the OL some this year in FA.

     

    We also need to resign Pat Williams, and address the Jonas Jennings situation

  7. If we bolster the OL and OL depth our present RB's should be able to chip away some yds.

     

    I agree that we should not be using our 2nd rd pick(s) for an RB.

     

    as for Clarett in the 4th or 5th rd, he'd be an instant cancer. Clarett IMO wouldn't accept a back up roll and would probably make alot of unwanted noise IMO.

  8. I think TD has done a solid job. I'm sure he'll bolster the OL through FA and the draft this year, after that it will be about value players and depth.

     

    TD has taken some gambles, but overall were a team heading in the right direction. It now comes down to the QB position IMO. DB never returned to form, and we don't know enough about JP besides the fact he doesn't know how to slide or run out of bounds.

  9. I think its a wise move, thats how the Pats got Brady, Montana was another low rd steal.

     

    However there needs to be a veteran QB prescence somewhere in our rotation. This is why I think we end up keeping Drew for one more season. He knows the system better then anyone and he doesn't save us enough to cut. He pretty much just gives us enough money back to sign a vet to replace him.

  10. Looks like the Madison Square Garden owners are opposing the Jets move into a 1.4 billion dollar stadium in Manhattan. therefore the NFL will move this years draft down the street to a new venue.

     

    The NFL say it will never hold the draft at MSG again

     

    Two league sources confirmed to SI.com that the draft will in all likelihood be held April 23-24 at the nearby Jacob Javits Convention Center, which is adjacent to the site on which the Jets hope to occupy the $1.4 billion West Side stadium starting in 2009.

     

    In moving the draft away from the Garden -- its home since 1995 -- the league is playing hardball with the Dolan family, which is opposing the Jets new stadium because it fears the facility could draw premier events away from its historic venue in mid-town Manhattan.

     

    "They're fighting one of our owners (Jets owner Woody Johnson),'' said a league source. "We've got to move it. It's a matter of who do you side with? We're definitely not going back to the Garden.''

     

     

    there is more to read if you follow the link

  11. a 500k cap hit if we cut Lindell IMO is a very acceptable risk. Lindell cannot be counted on when the game is on the line and the the attempt is more that 35yds out.

     

    But I agree that we more then likely will not try to replace Lindell with a FA K based upon monetary needs, and its why we should be looking at the Nuge and try to find away to parlay our TH cards and other draft picks into a 2nd 2nd rd pick.

     

    If we do draft the Nuge everyone here is going to have to accept that their can be some growing pains with a rookie NFL K just the same. At least there is no doubt that he has the leg.

  12. How does having Damion help?  Shelton is under contract.  Arizona is going to trade him where they get the most for him. 

     

    Personally I would give up a first rounder next year for him, and hell give Travis to them, just to get rid of him.

    233440[/snapback]

     

    1st of all Daimon Shelton is a RB that played for the Bills last season.

     

    2nd of all, L.J. Shelton has consistently been penalized and gives up occasional sacks. I would not trade a #1 for him. However I see no problem about attempting to trade for him with TH.

     

    3rd. You cannot be serious about the giving TH away thing or are you ??? TH is worth something to someone, and that someone could very well be the Bills as a back up.
