Dont put words in MY mouth. I never said that Mort said that. Mort DID say that the Bills were ready to go with Losman. That doesnt mean that he is now the starter only that he is "ready" in there minds to compete for the job.

No wait a minute. Mort did NOT say that Losman is the starter next year. What he said was that the Bills are ready to go with Losman. Thats not the same thing in my mind.

I love this move and it is EXACTLY the right thing to do. I bet Drew goes Henrys route and claims that he should be traded to start somewhere else. Isnt worth much, maybe a 4th rounder. Cards interested in Henry, how about a package deal for both Drew and Henry! Drews numbers tell the story and you dont pay a guy 6.5 mil to play mediocre/crappy! Especially with your highly regarded future on the wings. Sorry for the Drew related post but breaking news is authorization for a post.

Thank god for TD!

Gosh, your soooo right. No other team has traded there 1st rounder for a player. hmmmmmmmm. Yes its a high pick, but why dont the fins LOVE the thought of adding a pro-bowl RB AND pick up a 2nd rounder when they need so much?

Fine take the mid/high first rounder and continue to trade down or trade for another player.

I would trade him there and I seriously would throw in our 3rd but really think it may not be such a bad idea to throw in our 2nd. Id love for us to add a stud LT, or another stud WR, though we really dont need another stud WR. Im just trying to add as much supporting cast as possible for you know who. How about giving up Travis and our #2 to get the fins #2 overall. Then trade down once or twice to the mid round 1, get back your 2 and more and then take best available TE or LT or maybe even DE. In one swoop we end up trading Travis and getting back into the 1st for nothing! Heres my move: 1) Travis and our 2nd rounder to the fins for the #2 overall 2) Trade the #2 overall to a team that fesses a mid to high 1st AND a 2nd rounder Why is this not very do-able?

Well that was an interesting diatribe but utterly a waste of valuable post space. I can boil your whole post into 2 statements: 1) If anyone uses the word ignorant with you, you will be ticked off. I am also ignorant (meaning unknowing of the facts). 2) You are simply saying that there is a possibility that we ARE the only life out there, and that we have NOT been visited by anyone. No DUHH, Neither of us knows for sure. Thank you for straightening out the painfully obvious. The discussion was about likelihood, not facts. In all likelihood, there are in deed many planets with intelligent life, in all likely hood there are in deed many of those planets who have the ability to travel between planets and galaxies. AND in all likelihood, there we have in fact been visited by aliens before. Not fact just extremely likely. If you want to maintain a posture that says, no it cant happen, and hasnt (probably done with a stern brow and your arms crossed) hey go ahead. Us "dreamers" will simply disagree. Anyway, to think of us as being out on some remote "island" in the universe is awfully remote as far as possibilities go. I would call us more of a single grain of sand on a beach rather than a single grain of sand on a rock protruding from the ocean in the middle of nowhere. So, using that analogy, isnt more likely that some "body" swept through here once or twice?

I believe its possible. But rather that we end up at 9 and 7 again with a wildcard spot. This year was a fluke where you needed 10 and 6 to get in. As far as who leads the team at QB, I say 9 and 7 is achievable in EITHER case. But that we may want to try to win against NE and win the division. I think the choice would be clear in that case!

Jonas is most likely merely second tier as afr as a FA, absolutely not in the class of Jones/Pace/Glenn/Tra Thomas.

I have the same thoughts. Im taking, Vick and Manning in the SB. Nothing like having 2 starting QB's who were both 1st overall picks!

Uhh Huhh, sure, just ideas never tested, look into the Dugway proving grounds. check this site out: http://www.aliendave.com/Chemtrails.html Obviously mostly garbage but some of this could very well have legs!

If we can just figure out that damn space-time-continum......thing.

Or the secret testing bases in San Fran and Provincetown on Cape Cod

Dude, I wasnt serious. The only serious part is not completely thinking through the potential ramifications of our actions on an untouched planet.

hey, it wasnt me who started this one!

OK, so we start this reaction on another planet. Then say, the oxygen supports combustion of methane, the little probe has a short and creates a spark that then lights off methane which lights off more methane, Mars basically explodes propelling chunks of itself into the Sun and surrounding planets. The sun then explodes and torches off planet after planet or simply burns out. The earth approaches absolute zero or melts, and all life is lost. OOPS, kinda sounds like something my jackass brother would do. Maybe we should send him there instead! Ever heard of the Butterfly effect?

Interesting. Yet, I imagine that the very same people that claimed Flutie was our answer because "hey he was fun to watch" are the also the guys that say "Drew is all we need". Again ignorance is bliss I guess. AVOID Change, change is a very bad thing. avoiding assimilation into the BORG is futile. We will all think the same, you must be assimilated!

An excellent idea. I could probably get ahold of an incubator and grow my own super QB! Or better yet clone myself

Whne I was in the Coast Guard, we used to have to make announcements, called "pipes". Often we would announce for someone to report somewhere. One time we had Navy guys on our boat doing work. There is a rating or job title for IC (cant remember what it means but its just an acronym for some specialty). Anyways, when you announce for someone to report somewhere, you give there title and then last name and report to ___. Example: I was a QM2 meaning I was a Quartermaster 2nd class. So an announcement might go, "QM2 ____ report to the galley". There are several classes you would start at QM3 go to QM2 then QM1. Anyways, I called down to have an announcement made for "IC3 Cox to report to the Captains office". Kin of funny to hear that one go over the whole ship!

Hey because, were doing a great job f_king up THIS planet. Why not become interstellar mooches and just jump from planet to planet as we crud up the universe?

YEah but those 2 things are good right? Cant water than be converted to oxygen through evaporation? And doesnt magnesium combust WITHOUT oxygen?

That would be cool huh? Seriously, one of the cheesy Star Trek flick talked about the genesis rockets that kick start life on planets. Any reason that we couldnt convert some of those ethane lakes into oxygen through combustion or something else? Wouldnt the atmosphere then "trap" the oxygen? Surely lakes of burning ethane would provide enough heat to warm up the planet. Titan needs oxygen and warmth to be habitable right? Take it easy on me, I dont claim to know to much about Chemistry. I could have broken some of the "rules" in my questions.

We have a fairly good grasp on what WE believe to be true, using OUR earth and our "system" as the foundation to generate those beliefs. We can "see" so very very little of whats out there. Does anyone really believe that our current list of elements is in fact THE ultimate list? that in fact there are NO other elements out there? Hell, we keep finding new ones right here on this earth! As we advance we constantly uncover things that we never knew existed. How can we claim to have THE rules and THE laws when our most basic beliefs and foundations for science keep changing?

For some reason, please dont take this as an attack, I picture you as a person with horse blinders on, happily sitting in ignorance. Im not calling you ignorant, rather Im stating that you are content with notion that anything that seems difficult to be true, must NOT be. For a moment, please release yourself from the confines of everything that you know from your life here on earth. In all the zillions of planets out there, there is not 1 that has life as intelligent as ours? THAT my friend, seems virtually impossible. And on that planet, that single planet in the zillions, to think that their intelligent life has advanced at the same rate as us, starting at the same point as us, so that they are only say a few THOUSAND years ahead of us, is absolutely ridiculous! There is EVERY reason to believe as a previous poster stated, that civilizations have risen, visited us as a primordial soup, left, and died out LONG before we were coherent! Einstein, while immensely popular, is only human, and by being human, is strapped by the rules and laws that WE have found/created. If a race of beings has found a way to travel faster than the speed of light, interstellar travel is than possible and furthermore, plausible. At the time of Jesus, how would we humans have considered a personal computer? space travel? impossible? fiction? cant happen? That was only a few thousand year back. How far could a civilization go in say a MILLION years? 500,000 times as long? Thats a VERY VERY long time to develop technologies! And again, that assumes they have equal intelligence and an equal rate of technology development. The shear number of possible planets, possible planets with life, and possible planets with itteligent life is HUGE. The chances that some of those planets have developed faster than us, started much much earlier than us, and have not been constrained by rules that we claim are absolutes throughout the universe is also HUGE. By the easiest look at this, if we are willing to drop the rules that we THINK are absolute, it is so very very likely that we have been visited that it is an almost certain reality. Furthermore, I see NO reason that an intelligent lifeform that has an intention to find a new planet to live on, would have not simply wiped us out in our infancy, or made us into their slaves. Hostility implies a drive to dominate or destroy, in either case a race that can get here can also accomplish either. It is very likely that whoever has come here has done so to watch, maybe to subtely help when times are rough, or to study us. Or who knows, maybe the beings that come here are simply teen-age interstellar punks that are coming here to f_ck with us! I can picture it now, "hey dude, sweet new tat, lets go rip up a corn field on Earth with that tat design". Anyways, humans have a drive to know things. Yet every single time we think we know something we find evidence that in fact it is NOT true.
