  1. it amazes me how a player can sign a contract then say that they want to renegotiate becuase they exceeded expectations (T.O.). If a player has 5 touchdowns and the year before he had 10 did he not live up to expectations and give money back to the team? Ofcourse not. A contract is drawn up on the basis that the player will give 100% and catch as many passes or run for as many yards as possible.

     

    What good is a contract if players are constantly asking to re-negotiate. Maybe all future contacts should have tiers. But that could cause problems too. A player is one td away from the next level in his contract to make another 100 g and he doesnt get the ball thrown to him for example.

     

    I dont have any ideas and think this will continue in the nfl and it will hit home next summer when Willis is holding out and Drew Rosenidiot is saying that Willis exceeded expectations and deserves more money.

  2. Im sure many of you watched the game last night. Bledsoe was his normal self- olding the ball, missing short throws to his running backs and getting sacked. But his "understudy" Drew Henson is just as bad. I remember there was talk on this board that the Bills should have gone after Henson. Glad they didnt. I think he will be a back up his entire career.

     

    But this is the Cowpokes problem and it couldnt happen to a better team and a better coach. Now Drew is the Tuna's headache.

  3. Was the "kid" Josh Reed? He seems to have a lot of things bounce off his hands.

    I was thinking the same thing. It really makes me wonder how a player can fall so far in his confidence level. Coming out of LSU he was awesome- going over the middle, running after the catch and now he is shell of his former self.

     

    How long do the coaches wait for him to bounce back to the player they drafted? Also Aiken has been on this team for a few years now yet we draft wideout the past two seasons. Whats his story?

  4. Boller is in the perfect situation and needs to perform this year. He has a good D, a good in Lewis, a good te in Heap (if healthy) and some decent wideouts. They dafted Clayton and picked up Mason. If he stuggles this year he has no excuse.

     

    I think Buffalo's team is similar in many ways -except the te position. But to say that Boller is better than JP at this point is crazy. The jury is still out on both of em.

  5. Well think about it for a minute.  If Davis couldn't help the BROWNS, how much could he help the Pats?  It's not like Crennel is a moron or anything.

    Thats how thin or desperate the Pats are at wideout. They cut then resigned Troy Brown (34 years old), David Givins was their top wr last season and only had 56 catches and lastly the signed Tim Dwight as a free agent. Not a real scary wide reciver group if you ask me.

  6. I was just married last summer and my reception was at the Buffalo Marriott. I was shocked at some of the cash we recived in the cards. We payed approx 55 a plate which included the booze and some couples gave only 50 dollars. That didnt even cover one of them.

     

    I look at it this way. If you are taking your wife or girlfriend out for a nice evening of dinner, drinks and maybe dancing it will cost you atleast $150. I would never go less than $100 (and Ive been to some cheap weddings before).

     

    Hope this helps.

  7. Not sure how many on this board are involved in fantasy football leagues. I have been in the same one (12 teams) for the past 4 or 5 years. Just wondering if anyone had any good cheat sheets or player rankings that they new about on the web.

     

    Cant see buying a book at the store for 6 or 7 bucks if its out there somewhere on a website. Thanks in advance.

  8. Ive had DTV for about 4 years and just recently signed up for the NFL Package. But I didnt sign up for the extra nfl which I think is an additional $99. With that you get HD games and a screen with 8 games on at once.

     

    Which brings me to my beef with DTV. I have a big scrreen with pip and in order for your pip to work (have two games on at once) you need two seperate dtv receivers. So you need to purchase another box and also pay an additional 4.99 a month for the extra receiver. That to me is ridiculous. Has anyone else run into this?
