You are having a field day!

Sorry for the mixup there kid. The media reported things and maybe people became objective. But there is no reason to believe that there was a reason for it. Example. The media reported that police had found their man when the Olympic Park Bombings happened in Atlanta in 1996. It turned out to be false and Richard Jewell (or whatever) sued and won money from media organizations. You could see they were dancing around the issue here. Fact: They didn't declare AH to be a prime suspect but the media camped out at his house from day one and never left. Figure it out! This is what I'm talking about. This is nuts. This makes no sense NoSaint.

I should have said I felt like I was reading some pollyannaish posts. The guy was guilty and to sit here and type in some lame excuses about how he could possibly be in the wrong place at the wrong time or something like that or the gun could have fired by accident is somehow just stupid to me. I guess I wanted more about how he was guilty rather than how he could be innocent. \ Come on man, it was clear he was the prime suspect. Just like OJ.

I haven't been on TSW in awhile, but I did come here to read some of the responses on the AH crime situation. Not to bash anyone, but I'm surprised about the lack of clarity on this subject. This case is so simple, it's mind blowing to read some of the comments that I've read. I've read the entire thread and it took me awhile to read, but I'm stunned with what I've read. I don't know if it's because some of the posters are young, but the lack of critical thinking is alarming. I have access to ESPN at work in the hallways and I was getting updates as I was walking by the TVs. Here's what I thought as the case progressed: It was clear from the beginning that AH was guilty. It was clear that the police focused on him from the beginning and it was clear that he was the prime suspect. In the early going, published reports said he wasn't a suspect, but it's clear from the actions of the police department, that he was the prime suspect from the very beginning. In fact, they knew he was guilty the first time they talked to him. They just had to finish the case and get all the facts lined up for the DA. I think some of the things that I've read about him being suspended for the year from the NFL, or that this could go to training camp were unbelievable I also think the Pats knew they were going to release him long before they did. Most NFL security people have law enforcement backgrounds, so they were on this the whole time. I know it's easy to post with hindsight being 20/20, but this guy had a history and from police action, it's crystal clear they had their guy.

I haven't been around very often, but this thread did catch my attention. I didn't know who this kid was until I watched the video. After reading the first four pages of this thread and watching the video, I think Matt Scott will go in the late second or late third round and I think the original poster is right about the arm strength. The ball sizzles out of his hand. It's smoking. However, he does need alot of work and he did make some bad throws and at least three balls were tipped at the line of scrimmage. I see a second rounder if the right team is looking for a player like him. Philadelphia is the perfect place for him. Let's not kid each other, arm strength weighs the most with draft scouts and NFL teams. They won't say it, but it's true. Matt Scott needs works and lots of it. He didn't get that many starts in the NCAA, but he has the physical talent to play in the NFL at a high level. But, like Cam Newton, you can have all the physical skill and not be a great NFL QB. Newton was a big disappointment in his second year. Jaws pointed out what Newton didn't do, like make routine plays. And his reading of a defense was horrible. He's going to have to learn how to play the pro game or he's going to be like Vince Young.

I didn't say they didn't have a right to hoard it. I said it's counter-productive. An addiction to low wages is what got us in this mess. This constitution says the gov't's job is to provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare. It doesn't say protect multi-national corp. at all cost. PS: What did Ronald Regan hate more than anything (other than communism) ? Answer: Big Corporations. Regan was a champion of the small businessman, not large corporations.

The rich guys are hoarding money. No two ways about it. You have to let the little guy make a buck, because if he can't make it, then you have the welfare state that GOPers complain so much about. You can't have it both ways. The rich guys have to make less money for this thing to function right. I was self employed for 10 years and I never thought this thing (low wages) was going to work. You can't make money when the average guy is broke and busted.

No I don't. Explain this to me. You sound like T. Boone Pickens. He said the same thing. It didn't work out with wind power. What kind of energy are you talking about. Coal? I'm thinking it's not true. I'm thinking we should have listened to Jimmy Carter, who was ahead of his time by putting solar panels on the white house. Then RR comes in and removes them.

I would tend to agree with creating new industries. it's out of his realm. Especially in new energy. But Romney said the same thing. He wanted to get us energy independent in 10 years. That's not going to happen, because our beloved multi-national oil companies are not going to let it happent. Nice way to run for the president, though. I think enough has been done with the president's track record for creating any kind of new jobs or industries. All presidents. Especially another beloved slob, Bill Clinton - who was one of the greatest job destroyers known to man.

How are you right? Things have gotten better. In my area, unemployment has dropped by half. It was 15%, now it's 7-8%. I think that's improvement. It's gotten better not worse. Food prices are up. Gas prices are coming down. The stock market went back up. By all accounts things are better. Much better. Jobs are not really better. But our beloved multi-nationals would rather choke themselves rather than create jobs. No one is making excuses for Obama. He's too slow and he hasn't done enough too help the economy. Some of his ideas take too long to,work. New industries don't happen overnight.

1. No one says this? Are you crazy? I hear it everyday. What planet do you live on? I keep hearing that business is better without gov't interference. Layoffs and downsizing will spur economic growth. And yet, just the opposite has happened. We, my friend, are at the point of no return. Unless we turn around the business culture in this country, we will destroy this country. The problem is not gov't. It's your employer. It's Wall Street. 2. It's the message of the Romney types. 47% are takers. And Romney believes that all employees are takers too. It's his mentality. It's the way he thinks. He thinks he should be able to go out and pick dollar bills off trees. Money doesn't grow on trees. It's worked for. Romney doesn't do that. He's a hatchet man. Face facts. What kind of jobs did he create withStaples. Answer: People that will never have a middle class life. Something to be real proud of. 3. Choosing not to demonize Apple is a mistake. And it is by definition "kissing the ass of". I would not have taken that bull **** from Steve Jobs. Yes, he would have gotten a Bobby Knight cussing out from me. I would have just kicked the living **** out of that guy. How long are you going to kiss Steve Jobs' ass? You just don't get it and you never will. The blacks, women, Asians can see the economic unfairness. You choose to ignore it.

Hello it's been awhile for me. I've been away for a while. I don't think most of what the poster said will work. It's really the economic issues that have screwed the GOP. It has nothing to do with blacks, women, mexicans, gays or religion. It's not demographics. Or at least, it is, but it isn't. It's the economic issues that the GOP have screwed up. 1. Stop telling people that less wages and benefits is actually good for them.---- This is the main thrust of right wing bull ****. It's the repeated drumbeat of "you'll be better off if you lose your job and health insurance" because "lean companines" will create more jobs in the future. Just stop with the BS already. It helps Romney types and everyone else loses. 2. Stop telling people that work their whole life, that they're lazy. ----- You know the whole "your a no good bumb, loser etc etc." A mooch, a freeloader, etc., etc. 3. Stop kissing the ass of multi-national corporations. ---- They're leading you astray. If I was Obama and Steve Jobs told me "the jobs are never coming back" I would have gotten one of my secret service agents to beat his F---ing ass! Or I would have punched him in the face myself. Bomb his house. Who in the blank does Steve think buys those smartphones?

I think you made a better comparison. Davis had more speed than Marcus Allen. But comparing him to either one is comparing him to two Hall of Famers and that's saying alot. Fans only do that when a player is playing great. Yes, Jackson doesn't have "draft status" and he's 30, but what difference does it make? The first time I saw Jackson play, I wasn't impressed. Now he's been playing great and I see him move through holes like the great ones.

I'm starting to think that Fred Jackson is looking more and more like Terrell Davis. I haven't watched much of the Bills in recent years but I'm starting to believe that Jackson is that kind of player. What little I've seen of Jackson, he's a great downhill runner with plenty of power. I remember writing on these pages that Lynch stunk and the Bills needed to get rid of him and the Bills didn't have a decent running back on the roster. I rememeber saying that Jackson wasn't a NFL quality player and the Bills needed to draft several running backs in the draft. I'm starting to think, Jackson is the real deal and I didn't see the player that he was. I've probably never been so wrong about a player, as I have been with Fred Jackson. So tell me Bills fans, is this guy Terrell Davis in the making? I'll read your stuff on Friday.

I voted Flutie, Fitz, Edwards. But QBs have different types of balls that they throw. It's always ticked me off when people say Flutie had a weak arm. He didn't. He may not have been able to throw for great distance, but he had a "live" arm. He put very little effort in short and medium range throws. He couldn't throw for raw distance, but he could put zip on the ball. Fitz probably has better raw distance but a little less zip in the ball than Flutie. Edwards had no arm strength at all. No distance, power or speed. As far as other QBs, Bledsoe had the strongest arm, plus he threw a very catchable ball. Kelly had a great arm and could really throw the ball. He got great rotation on the ball and he had a great deep ball. Kelly was, and still is, the best QB the Bills ever had.

My prediction is the Bills make the playoffs and I think 10-6 is not far off. I love the QB, RBs and WRs on this team. Fred Jackson is starting to look like Terrell Davis in spots.

Jimmy Carter got a bumb rap. The GOP brainwashed people into believing in "runaway inflation". Even though, 78 million baby boomers were just starting to enter their prime spending years. Inflation is a myth. But, if it did happen in the 70s, the baby boomer's demand for products is the reason for it. If anything, price deflation is a real concern (check current housing prices), not inflation. And it just so happens, that baby boomers are retiring and their spending years are over with and now we have a hyperinflated "credit bubble" that has burst. As far as the drug was is concerned, Carter has this wrong. If we end the war on drugs, the drug problem in America will only get worse. We have proven that we can't handle much of anything. It may work in other countries, but it won't work in the USA.

Donovan hasn't done enough for me to think he deserves the status of Montana, Elway, Farve, Brady, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino. And yet you get that feeling from McNabb, that he's the undisputed king. He has been outplayed on his own team by the Following: Jeff Garcia, Ty (and or) Koy Detmer and now Rex Grossman. His biggest problem is he didn't establish himself as a good enough passing QB in the NFL in his early seasons. He ran the ball way too much (rush attempts) and he only started developing the skill to stay in pocket and find a receiver late in his career. But his biggest flaw is the accuracy which has been lame throughout his career. He's gotten better at not running the ball and bailing out of the pocket too early, but it may be too late in his career.

I think if an NFL team is smart, they should concentrate on drafting offensive players first and then go after defensive players later. I would even say that if I were an NFL GM, I'd look more to free agency for defensive players and I would definitely not take a defensive back high in the draft. I don't care if he's Deion Sanders. It's hard to get value out of a DB. Sanders played for like five teams in his career. Drafting a DB in the first round is crazy. I've watched too many teams invest big money in a DB, only to get burned. Teams should go after interior players first (no DB, WR or TE in the first round)and if a team is going to take a chance on defense, the risks are a lot higher, imho. The NFL draft has taken on a life of it's own and I think a good way for NFL teams to highlight that is to go after offensive players first. It helps with the media and fans. It sets a positive tone going into training camp and it keeps the head coach off the hot seat. Championships are built with defense, but it's hard to build a championship team by getting burned with draft day busts on defense. It's better to go with proven players on defense and get young talent to develop on offense.

I voted for the guy, but I'm seeing a return to the policies of Bill Clinton and George Bush and I'm getting them in my mail box every day. 1. I keep getting credit and loan applications in the mail that say I'm prequalified for a $5000 loan, car loans, home loans, you name it and I'm getting it. 2. We dug ourselves out of a terrible economy in 1991 with an incredible expansion in credit. This was done with credit cards to consumers and junk home loans. Everything on credit. But no real jobs to back it up. Or at least an expansion in service sector jobs, which are low paying. A bubble economy that was bound to implode. Pretending we're rich. 3. The stock market is booming (just like in the Clinton years), but with no real job growth. Again, just a bunch of junk jobs and junk credit and false hope. Giving everything to Wall Street but with no help to mainstreet. Just a false promise of jobs coming in the future while everything keeps going to China. 4. He's giving in to republicans for unemployment benefits with the expansion of tax cuts for the rich. 5. I'm watching Cramer on CNBC the other day and he says high gas prices are "like another tax on the American people" that takes away disposable income. What about the lower wage jobs Cramer? The lowering of the wages on the average american is taking away disposable income, just like high gas prices. Union busting, lowering wages is the same as high gas prices. Get that through your heads, republicans. Republicans always look at how much something cost and they don't try to increase income. Just cut expenses and give more to the big people. Hoarding. That's all it is. Hoarding. 6. I'm sure Obama will come up with more "conservative fiscal policies" that create more for the rich on Wall Street and less for everyone else.

I watched this stuff on MTV on Friday nights in the second season and it is real football. I thought it was a stupid idea the first year and I didn't watch it. But I saw an interview with the CEO on CNBC and he said it was real football so I watched the games this year and I do think they are onto something. Even with the sex appeal stuff, I found myself liking the games. The San Diego QB can really throw the ball. She throws better than some NFL guys.

The Broncos are a complete mess. Worst I've ever seen since 1979. I hope they keep Tebow and at least give him a chance. Elway's more involved with the team now and he supports Tebow, but that may not be enough.

As a long time Broncos fan, this doesn't surprise me. It's been all downhill since they hired him. I'm thinking that getting rid of Jay Cutler and trading Peyton Hillis away was a big mistake. Also, this throws the whole Tim Tebow situation into a very difficult position.

After reading the yahoo message board, it's become clear that many people feel that this was a murder. I can't get past the gun on top of the pillow. It makes no sense. It doesn't pass the smell test.

I think I remember you and several others making this claim and I think it's true, what you say. Plus, the demographics just aren't right in some of the so-called good markets. LA as a sports market sucks. The population is too fragmented and there isn't enough white people. I sold tickets for a number of years and I always thought that chasing the big corporation money was a stupid idea. You chase away real fans with stupid prices.
