Good for you !

You echo my thoughts. As usual, I think TD will spring a surprise pick on all of us. The vast majority will be left gaping and the logic will be apparent in a few months time .... I thus cannot make any predictions but kind of think that a deal with some team (not Cards) is already done.

On second thoughts, all those Aussie females in bikinis in the stands ... yummm. Maybe the MCG may make my top pick instead of Wimbledon.

And ganesh, probably no one here will get it - Your choice is a close second to my choice for Wimbledon. But this time, I want to cricket match to not be fixed as the last World Cup was....

And we both use avs forum too... Finally I find someone with similar tastes, unfortunately it is a male

Tennis - Wimbledon finals, center (centre) court

Ya, but I am just going with the basic premise that TD can't draft starters after Rd 2. Not that I agree with that premise in a vacuum.

On a +ve note, I remember SDS was one of the first saying that Henry would never get us to the promised land as he was not a good blocker and could not break the long one. Most on this board (including me) laughed at that analysis as that year Henry was playing like a warrior and was a savior for an otherwise dismal year. ONly after the emergence of WH did I see the light. By the way, SDS, the word knucklehead in your note was not responsible for jogging my memory

I got an idea - how about we trade all picks from round 3 through seven and get one 1st round pick and one additional second round pick ? Heck, just get one 1st rounder in return so we have two starters from two rounds. Sound good ?

Which brings us to the obvious conclusion that TH would have been better off publically supporting TD and getting a great deal for the Bills and himself. By showing himself to be a self-serving idiot, he hurts both efforts.

I agree with you & TH needs to understand that. But that is not what TH is saying to the press - he is basically accusing TD of undermining his own interests.

If TH is so sure he is a 'great back', he should have no problem with playing out his contract with the Cards and being confident that his play will make them want him to sign a lucrative long term contract after that. Sounds to me like he is very insecure in his own abilities and wants to get as much guaranteed money as he can before he actualy has to play and earn it.

Ganesh, By now it should have been obvious to TH that a starting job in the NFL is not his for the taking. He can go public for asking for a trade (which he did a few weeks back), but accusing TD of 'taking his own sweet time' did cross the line. TD can do whatever he wants as he owns TH for this season. TH's a** is TD's and TD can ask him to kiss his for as long as he wants.

Precisely the origins of my disgust. If your job and my workplace is tough on employees, why pamper TH ? When I have to deal with looking over my shoulder every week to see if the axeman cometh, why does this pu**y feel entitled to a less than generous trade by TD ?

I do hope he gets fined for everyday he misses practice. I also hope the salary he is supposed to make this year gets used up in fines before the first day of regular season (may not happen). But man, I want this moron to literally pay for going public with his discontent.

I am throughly disgusted by TH's attitude. I admired him when he played through injury and was the consummate warrior. But last year, a better player replaced him. Is he forgetting that he gets a paycheck to play for the Bills ? The reason for my thorough and utter dismay is that everyday in the real world, people work hard to do well at their jobs. They get paid to do it. However, if an obviously better prospect shows up for a company the company will go for the better employee. It is as simple as that. But while we are employed, who among us says "I have a contract for a year, but you are going to replace me next year so I will be sitting at home everyday". What kinda bullcr*p is this from TH ? I don't normally get so emotional on this board but this is the kind of thing that frustrates the heck out of me. While 99% of the country works honestly and hard, this player thinks he is to be held to higher standards and given sympathy for whining and crying about not getting the starter position ? Sorry guys, but I have zero empathy or sympathy with such scumbags. TD did the right thing by agreeing to him seeking a trade and trying for it. But, for now, TD is TH's boss and TH is paid through next year. TD can take his own fre*king sweet or sour time to demand the best return on his investment. TH can do nothing about it except cry to the media. He not only an idiot but is stupid. GMs around the league will downgrade his value due to his attitude. And is he remains on the roster this year, next offseason will be 2 years that he would not have seen real playing time. When he is out on the street, I bet his petty paycheck for being #2 will wake him up to the realities of life.

Sorry guys, I posted before reading this thread. My Firefox was pointing to the IP which I deleted and linked to the full URL. Now it works fine. Thanx

I am using Firefox as my browser and cannot get the TBD website to load for the past 2 days. Before it was fine. Anyone have the same problems or any suggestions ?

RNJ, My thoughts exactly. I said last week that if this deal with Arizona gets done, I am willing to bet TD gets a pick out of them instead of giving it to them. TD is def. in the driver's seat here (isn't he always ?)

I am less worried about the distance than accuracy. If we knew Christie is still money at 40 yards and less, I say sign him up. Lindell's lack of accuracy will kill us in this upcoming season as I expect a bunch of close games.

Didn't realize an IQ can be a negative number. JUST KIDDING !

Funny it took so much time for someone to point it out. Actually my wife does (really) but when I saw Denise on the cover, I could not help opening and 'reading'.

And this just a couple of months after an article in redbook about how her marriage is so great and how caring Charlie is and how she is a changed person. Not taking sides at all, but these Hollywood marriages are a joke. Why they produce kids, who have a low probability of growing up with their biological parents, is beyond me.

Yeah yeah I know. I have learnt my lesson after so many of you cracked my knuckles.

Scr*w that ! I would GET a 6th rounder & Shelton for Henry. Else we just hang on to TH for a year. What is he going to do ? Pout and play bad so his value in the market tanks ? He will be fired up albeit for selfish reasons (who cares as long as he produces right ?) Contrary to popular opinion on this board, I think TD hold the upper hand in this negotiation.
