  1. Covington was a good pick. His career was cut short.
  2. Yeah, he flirted with the idea and I think it was kind of a mutual decision in the end from both the teams and him to stay retired.
  3. My understanding is that the current S&C guy is somehow connected to Rusty Jones anyway. A lot of the Bills IR players seem to be put on there for roster purposes - like they could come back but they will be out for so long that it is a waste to keep them on the roster.
  4. It's pretty rare to find beauty and brains in one package, no?
  5. He hadn't had drop problems for awhile now. He and TE had a pretty good thing going for a spell.
  6. The death of parity is more about how rule changes have made having a good QB so important that once you have a good one, you are competitive for 10 years in most cases.
  7. We're out of the playoffs, so we no longer matter.
  8. This is not legal advice. Consider two cheap options: not paying wages, including overtime, most likely violates the Fair Labor Standards Act and a similar state law. Consider getting in touch with your state's department of labor and/or the US DOL: http://www.dol.gov/cgi-bin/compliance_contactus.asp They may be able to help you. Second option is small claims court, which doesn't force you to pay for the lawyer (with such a small amount at stake, you would want to be fighting this over principle if you got a lawyer involved). You don't *need a lawyer* for any claim, but you will most likely fail in other court by yourself. I also assume that your wife isn't eligible for legal aid? If it were me, I would try getting the money back through the labor enforcement first.
  9. Don't listen to him. I was given one and was quite happy with it. By the way you can use regular coffee with the right accessory.
  10. Wesley Snipes in Passenger 57.
  11. My pet peeve is people not moving to the left to let you merge from an on-ramp or who try to cut you off as you come on the highway.
  12. Probably because of what people mean when they flash them.
  13. Being indecisive can be worse. Perhaps these people worry that they are in your blind spot and are trying to escape it.
  14. Yeah, it's more like she needs a face transplant.
  15. I remember when the Bills were good and they couldn't win in Kansas City. Since the Bills have become bad, suddenly they can win in KC. Go fig.
  16. The problem is the race to the bottom among cities. Especially in the 90s, it was about who was willing to waste more public tax money on luring a team from another or to keep their team from moving. If there was some way to stop all municipalities from subsidizing these teams, that would be ideal. It's just like all those states giving away tons in subsidies and tax breaks in order to bring in some factory. I think for the Hyundai plant in Alabama, the cost was something like $150K per job. Hyundai came out like bandits playing one state off of the other in order to get the sweetest goody basket. To be fair to Ralph, I don't know of any other owner in the NFL with a worse NFL stadium than RWS who is not whining and threatening in order to get a new stadium.
  17. More on this story: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2009/de...sh-had-earlier/
  18. CBS didn't pick it, your local affiliate did. Mine chose the Giants and Chargers.
