I see. We're supposed to believe the lesser confession of the two versions. And the statement of Mr. Saxon is inadmissible in this court of law.... Resolved before the court of Don Quixote, then, that if someone fondles and dry-humps your sister and then says it was just good-natured wrestling, you'll be perfectly content to conclude it never happened.
You are assuming that she is telling the truth. That simply is not right. You have to look at it objectively. Is her statement any more truthful due to the fact that she is a female? It is one persons statement versus another. If a soon to be millionaire was accused of 'dry-humping' my sister, and his statement was that he simply mooned my sister, then it is still one persons statement versus another. We do live in a world where people try to extort people with more money and power.
BTW --- way to go in not even bothering to look up the story before you post your high opinions of it; and I fully expect you'll now entrench yourself in defending that blah blah blah PM wasn't found guilty by any court. He wasn't. UT took care of that for him and mouthbreathers like yourself only care about Wikipedia Reality. I find it proper for you to now go
yourself.... but only after you do your English homework.First of all: Why do you find it necessary to get personal? Second of all: I did look up the story. In fact I offered three sources to you in a previous post. One source was from the exact source that you received your article from. In one article, the newspaper spoke of the accusation as a "mooning" and in the other, a "genital to face" type of altercation. So, I turn the tables back on you. Way to look at my previous post about looking up information before accusing me of not looking up the information. English homework? You're going to have to explain that one.

He's gonna be traded for draft picks.
Back it up with something substantial ... otherwise you simply come off as a moron.

Now that I read that HER story and HIS story are completely separate versions of the event, I find it proper for you to now refer to the incident as the "alleged testicle/ass on face incident" ... as his story has him simply mooning her, and no evidence to contradict the fact.
-
Yours and PM's definition of "mooning" is pretty liberal. Also convenient how the famous person gets to frame how things happened and the mere plebian doesn't matter.
In the version that isn't sanitized, he put his ass and his testicles on a trainer's face during an exam where she was bent over checking for an injury. Hence the infamous "teabag" which has been corroborated by the teammates who were there. A pressed ham, you know... that can be shrugged off as a stunt.
What he did was an unlitigated lesser-degree sexual assault.
And also, bear in mind that he chose to muckrake the incident in his book. It could have remained a UT locker-room lore, as the woman involved got a settlement from the U, I believe, and moved and wanted to never hear of it again. When the book came out, you can imagine what happened at her job, to all of the people who looked at her differently....
But what am I thinking of? You know it all.
Can you please give us some links to credible websites that talk about this alleged "testicle/ass on trainers face" part. I have read an article by USA Today, The Smoking Gun, and Espn.go.com all report it as a mooning or a 'baring of the buttocks.' I am simply wondering what source you received the "testicle/ass on trainers face" part.
You mean the part in the book where he described her as having a vulgar or crude mouth, yet his actions were still unacceptable?

It's all in how you sell it
1) Weather - non factor. This nevers stops players from going to Green Bay, NE, or New York. It's the way football is supposed to be played. If a guy doen't want to come here because of the weather, you don't want him.
NE and NY are both beautiful places which feature big beautiful cities, and fancy loft apartments and houses. Both are near by to famous clubs ... etc. Basically it is where an NFL player in their 20's-30's with a lot of money wants to be. Buffalo on the other hand ... all we have is the weather. GB is similar to us, but not NE or NY.
Yes, and we were 9-7, before we were 5-11, a few seasons ago.2) The team is coming off a 7-9 season. Lost to the Super Bowl champs by a point on the road. Lost to NE and SD by a combined 5 points. Good young core yet there is an opportunity to earn a spot. Marv and Dick are class acts.3) This makes no sense. Didn't they pay Clements last year? I thought they overpaid for Royal, Reed, Price, etc. What about Bledsoe, Milloy, Vincent, Spikes, Adams? This logic is old and tiresome. Plus if paying the going price for talent was the answer, then the Pats won't have 3 rings.Franchise tags do not count for overpaying, since it is only for one year. Bledsoe, Milloy, Vincent, Spikes, and Adams were all a part of the Tom Donahoe era, and since Marv announced the cash to cap philosophy, agents will be probably be directing players in the opposite direction.
-
For 95% of the FAs, I would imagine that Buffalo is a pretty good spot for them.
Pass it around the circle ...

Rumors that get more credence when Jimbo was disinvited to be a candidate for congress in WNY and instead they ran the guy who was basically Mark Foley's pimp? The man who would've been running as a 'family man' candidate wrt Hunter would have been shown to be a hypocrite in about 12 hours (8, if an involved party sprung for coffee at the BN). I bet the intern who did the initial vetting on him walked around with a facial expression combining
:lol: for two months. Who knows about any open arrangement Jim & his wife have, but....As for Peyton, google his name with "teabag." 'Nuff said.
Look below ...
Yeah, thats pretty much what I was going to reply with. 10 years ago he pulled a stupid stunt. Big deal.
-
Lets hear it for Andre!!!
I saw this last week or so ... Reed did very poorly unfortunately. Both Joe's beat him in the foot race.
-
You would think completely wrong. Everyone in Indy has a Peyton Manning story. Everyone.
I have seen the man in action.. It is Jim Kellyesque...
Aren't rumors hilarious?
What is their to tell. He is married. He hits on every chick in Indy. He has gone home with 3 girls that I know and it wasnt for tea and cookies. Want explicit details. He had sex. According to one of my friends he was almost forceful but whatever... Who knows.Every person that goes out in Indy has seen the guy in action.
I am not saying he is a bad guy. I am saying he cheats on his wife as often as he can.
He is a great QB. He is good for the community. But he is a manwhore.
Riiight.

Everyone knew the bills weren't going to keep nate after this season. Too much money! So you franchise him and then you trade him. Maybe for a 1st or 2nd round pick last year or this year?
Keeping him meant nothing. No playoffs, no winning season, and he sucked the 1st half.
So why didn't they get something of value?
It seems that trades in the NFL are harder to come by, then mothers giving up their children for adoption at birth.
-
Assume the position my friend!
Once again, you need to learn the difference between admitting that you're not perfect and being submissive.
Recap of convo:
S: You were an ass to Cablelady yesterday
D: Im not perfect

Thanks for smartass answer Mr. Nice Guy!
How is it basic football knowledge(as you term it)- when in your post you mention that in most games CB'S play their side.
Doesn't using the word most leave open the chance the some teams do matchup cb's depending on their game plan?
For example Denver has tried to use Champ Bailey on Tony Gonzalez within the flow of the game if possible.
The way in which Roy Williams torched the Bills does make questioning how they game planned their coverage a legitimate question.
(Be it by providing more safety help or by at least considering using Nate on him if possible)
It's truly a wonder why a nice guy like you would ever get banned.
Sorry, I didn't mean to bite your head off. It is simply a sore subject still hung over from the actual Detroit game, where people could not seem to get their head around the fact that CB's play their sides. Especially in a cover 2-scheme.
-
that's a weak response.
Are you serious? Its called a joke.
Just have to say that at one point Asante Samuel was a rough-around-the-edges 4th round rookie with little playing time and a laughable option for the Pats. Things do change.Also, last year was an off-year for McGee. New system, tough breaks. I think he'll be better (though never better than Clements as a CB) this year.
A. Samuels always showed really good promise. His first year, he picked off 2 passes. Then from his 2nd year on, he batted down at least 11 balls each season. Please don't compare Youboty and Samuels ... although I hope he somehow morphs into a Samuels type of player.
-
Yes, I was very impressed with how kind you were to Cablelady yesterday, when you kept implying that her and her friends were stupid.
I'm not perfect, my friend.

The fate of the Bills rests on a couple of issues, and the status of Nate Clements isn't one of them. There are four things that far outweigh whatever value Clements offers (and it's not negligible - he's quite good).
1.) [by far] - the play of the quarterback. Put simply, if Losman turns out to be good, the Bills will, at the worst, be decent. Very few teams with good QBs and shaky secondaries stink. Very many teams with good CBs and lousy QBs stink.
2.) Coaching. See above.
3.) Offensive line -- this is related to (1), but the point is that teams with good offensive lines and good quarterbacks usually win. It's better to have good CBs than not, but all the same they don't matter as much as QBs and offensive lines.
4.) Defensive line. Defensive lines are more important because they can stop the run and therefore control the tempo of a game. Also, if they're good, they can rush the passer and destroy a team's passing game. A good CB is obviously welcome, but they simply aren't as important in the running game. You don't want bad players back there, but serviceable guys won't kill your chances of winning a division.
Look at the playoff teams this year:
Seattle, which almost made it to the championship game, was playing with four subs in the secondary by the end of the season.
No one on the Bears secondary comes close to Clements, but the Bears had a significantly better defense than the Bills because of their front seven.
Same with the Pats (Samuel, while good, isn't half the specimen that Clements is).
The Chargers didn't win 14 games because of their cornerbacks.
Name me one cornerback on Indy without looking them up.
The Chiefs enlisted Ty Law, who did help them mightily, but that team squeaked into the playoffs at 9-7 and were quickly and brutally dispatched because of truly subpar QB play from the quickly deteriorating Trent Green.
The Jets don't have any cornerbacks whose names you'll recognize.
The Ravens have McAlister, granted, but all the same that team is unique in that it won entirely via defense. Anyway, look at what happened to them at home in their sole playoff game. They couldn't score.
The Cowboys have one very good CB in Newman, who actually performed very well this year. But that team got as far as it did because of their offense and the switch to Tony Romo.
The Eagles secondary is solid, but they don't have franchise CBs who command the sort of money that Clements will.
The Giants have nonentities at cornerback (not that they don't need better ones).
New Orleans' CBs are downright weak, yet if not for inclement weather in Chicago, they may have made it to the Super Bowl.
The Broncos, with the best CB in the league, didn't make the playoffs. Why? They had no capable quarterback, and their o-line has declined. Rashean Mathis is excellent as well, but because Jax doesn't have a credible QB, they tanked it.
Also, the Steelers won the Super Bowl last year with cornerbacks you've never heard of (as did New England the year before).
The Bills haven't had a chance at being great since Kelly and the O-line declined, despite have a consistently strong defense from 1995-2000.
Bottom line: if JP comes through and the offensive line and defensive front seven measurably improve, the Bills stand a good chance of becoming good again.
Well I suppose if Clements leaves, our run defense will automatically get better. Teams will have such an easy time passing on us that they won't even need to run. Imagine a secondary with Toast McGee as our #1, and Youboty (a player with about 9 minutes of playing time) as our #2. Oh boy.
-
Flat out not true. Nate did not give up a touchdown all season. Mcgee was the one who was flat out horrible. When The coaching staff decided to play more man to man and have Nate consistently on teams #1 receiver he was lock down.
Right ... and its amazing how some people seem to think Nate was bad the first 8 games ... yet can not give any proof to back that up.
-
#1 Booger was underacheiving after only 5 games? Baloney
#2 He was traded because Tampa was 1-4 and already out of the playoff hunt and didn't want to pay his contract when they weren't even competing for the postseason
#3 There's no similarity between his and Clements' situations because if you give Nate a 15+million signing bonus he instantly becomes untradeable because that huge bonus would hit your cap all at once the minute you traded him.
#1. Five games? No after about 100 games. Here is an excerpt from an ESPN article:
"Last week, Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden criticized McFarland and the Bucs' other defensive linemen, saying he expected more from them and some in Tampa thought McFarland was underachieving."
#2. True.
#3. Honestly, I do not know much about the cap situation. So if you trade a player, his bonus (over his entire contract) hits you all at once? How exactly was Bailey traded with a monster contract?
-
Yeah in theory, but if he we make him the highest paid CB and he underachieves, why is someone else going to want him?
For the same reason the Buccaneers received a 2nd round draft pick for underachieving Anthony McFarland. Put it this way. If we don't sign him, we get nothing in return. If we do sign him, and then decide to trade him, atleast we will get something in return.
Not on this thread nor any other have I declared myself a football expert. I will say that your posts are among the more entertaining on this board. I'd say that in about 10 years you'll realize how little you know now about many things, but self confidence is a good thing. I think I read somewhere that you are studying to be a lawyer. In that profession, being able to make a point (even when untrue or unsupported by fact) with conviction is a good quality. In that regard I would say you're off to a good start. All of this of course is just my opinion.I would agree with that.

Actually if you read the thread you will realize I saw Simon "circling in" LSI Cadets and I was trying to make light of the situation.
It's interesting that you are interjecting yourself in this thread.
Why? Last time I saw Simon "circle in" it was last year when he was trying to get a "message" through to you.(Which actually he did quite effectively)
If I remember correctly you became submissive very quickly and you actually posted:
"OK then ... think what you want. I generally tend to go out of my way to be kind to people who dislike me, but this is just ridiculous. Think what you want. Have a good day."
After reading your post(if you are a man of your word) I expect you to go out of your way to be kind to me.
Yes, but I in no way, was being submissive to Simon. Telling someone that I will (basically) turn the other cheek, is a far cry from being submissive. I am kind to everyone on this board, including you.
-
Fair enough...my memory is what it is. I remember Nate sucking at various times throughout the past 3-4 years (though not so much this year). I'm not going change my mind on that because you are watching some game film. But I definitely buy the argument that Nate's struggles could have been attributed (at least in part) to a bad defensive scheme.
I love Nate and I think he is a top 5 corner when he is playing well. Who knows if he will continue his 2006 form and be a shut-down corner after he cashes an $18 million bonus check? I'd be happy if we re-signed him, but I won't be too bummed if it's not us that makes him the highest paid CB in the league.
If he does not play up to the level that we know he can, there is a solution ... a trade.
-
You've been reviewing game tapes of 2004 and watching Nate Clements?
2005, and yes ...
I'm with you as I don't have the time (or desire) to watch film. I have never understood a scheme that puts the corners 8+ yards off of the LOS. I just remember Nate taking a lot of bad angles on tackles and generally not being near the WR when he would catch a pass. Maybe it was the scheme that was putting him a spot that prevented him from using his gifts (size, aggressiveness) and forcing him to play a way that highlighted his weaknesses.When I think of Nate in that scheme I think of Andre Johnson burning him brutally for a long TD a year or so back.
That is why myself and my father were simply disgusted at the defensive system of Jerry Gray in 2005. Clements would be so far off of the WR, that he had no way to use his size to disrupt the path of the WR.

Assumming that ralph goes on the cheap, he will promote the assistant gm.
If Ralph dies, who gets the franchise and any word from the potential owner on his like / dislike for the city of buffalo?
This will be a very scary day for Buffalo. I merely hope Golisano steps in.
-
LOL.
I can tell you truthfully that I have never worn tights.
LSI Cadets? Never met him.
I apologize for interrupting the initiation.
P.S. LSI Cadets
the right response to each part of the initiation is:
"Thank you sir may I have another!"
That is quite a butt kissing your giving Simon.
-
Seeing that we need help at MLB, DT, and CB.....
We have McCargo (who has yet to play a full year), and Youbouty (ditto).......both have a year under their belt in the Bills System.
If (When) Fletcher leaves, we need to fill THAT hole.........maybe Patrick Willis (if he's still around)
Youboty has yet to play a full game.

You forgot to mention the fact that those games that Anthony did exceptionally way in was against Indianapolis, Houston, Green Bay and the New York Jets. All of which were horrid run-stopping teams.
