Can you say bandwagon....once the Pats are 1-4 and the Red Sux are playing golf, they will be rooting for the Celts.

Baltimore Ravens

Thanks...now everyone in my office knows I am a fool

Interesting, I do not work for a Union, but if my company asks me to work when I scheduled vacation, they reimburse me for any cancellation expense involved. So what is it that you got that I don't?

I doubt the Yanks will sign Pedro....injury prone. I bet you that Pedro will throw at at least one Yankee during the upcoming series between the two teams. Assuming the Yanks, Twins, Red Sox and A's make the playoffs, I would think that Minnesota or Oakland could easily knock off the Red Sox.

I think Butlers men looked at TN plenty....remember guys like Peerless Price and Shawn Bryson came from TN.

Right on! I think that decision also shaped the personnel we have. I think we drafted and signed FAs to fit the GW defense.

I am wrong! I guess they changed the PS rules.

MLB asked that the Devil Rays to leave on Friday. The players hid behind the Player Association. I am compassionate, but they should have looked into getting out earlier.

Haddad and Sape do not qualify I believe.

I am surprised that Sobieski got cut, but then again it is not like we kept a far inferior player (even Pucillo is not that much worse than Sobieski). The key is to watch what other teams do for depth. If they add cuts from the Bills than you have to imagine they have some talent.

Based on your logic, he would have been a keeper...came from TN, a big time program.

There are several issues in entering the Chinese market. 1. Microsoft cannot get a premier price for their product in China. Prices are controlled by the government. The lower margins create a gray market for product, as product can be bought in China and then sold elsewhere. Additionally, since Hong Kong is now part of China, it allows greater access to Chinese goods. 2. The aforementioned copyright laws. Or lack thereof. The problem is that the government does not enfore the laws, and until China is part of the WTO, the are not held to international copyright laws. 3. Though there are 1.25 billion chinese, there are far less people who have computers. The market size for software to be used in China is probably 500 million, definitely important to their growth strategy, but I believe the Indian market is larger for such technology.

Cutting guys you drafted, not matter what the round is to some extent a failure to identify a "diamond in the rough". Any round 3 or higher pick cut within the first 4 yrs is a pure failure. Every GM should be able to find quality starters and backups in the first 3 rounds of the draft.

The team gets fined...,,probably only 100K or so

What surprises me is how many draft picks from the last 2 yrs got cut. I think that this is an indication that TD might not be a great eye for talent in the draft.

Rich I would make the tailgate, but I cannot get tickets as of yet for the Ravens game. As far as the season opener, I am not the one with vacation plans....

The only reason McGahee does not get cut is because he is a #1 pick coming off surgery. Had it been an undrafted FA with those numbers, he would have been cut. Let's not fool ourselves, McGahee is not a #1 RB yet.

1. Buffalo for the Season Opener? 2. Sell the tickets on eBay 3. DC is nice

Unless there is money in the card...send me an e-card. Then again I am not big into b-days, anniversaries or other 1-day events.

Thanks,....have not seen that yet so I am cool

I am impressed with MM so far...but I need to see him in a true game where he needs to make a critical decision (punt/FG or go for it).

How do you know if someone has ignored you?

But Her Face = Butterface

There are usually 1-2 sports bars in any town that shows all the games. The probably is not getting to see the game anymore, it is now watching it with a pro Bills crowd. I have to say from experience, watching a game at a Bills bar (from the list) is much more exciting than just watching it at the local pub.
