Outside of the police blotter...

I've heard the same thing. Neither Harris nor Devo made any attempt at being good students or good citizens. I also think Jimmy needed to make scholarship room for Riley/Johnson/Southerland, but I'm not sure on the details with scholarships and how many can be offered/used. Agreed! What makes you think Joseph sucks? Athletic, rangey, decent shooter; seems like the kind of player UConn and Nova have had in droves recently. I'm not too optimistic about Riley and Jones but right now they look like 9/10 on the depth chart. Like I said earlier, Cuse has known commodities in Jackson, Rautins, and Onuaku. If Triche, Jardine and maybe most importantly Wesley Johnson can step up this team might be dangerous. From all reports, the sky is the limit for Johnson. Super athlete with a polished game. I'm looking forward to watching this group. It was difficult to root for 8-mile and the 6'3" power forward last year.

Your kidding right? While they were above average college players, neither is half the player Flynn is, which is obvious because he's the only one pulling a paycheck right now. I think the team has the potential for a deep tourney run if Triche and Jardine step up. Rick Jackson, Arinze Onuaku, Wesley Johnson, Andy Rautins, James Southerland, Kris Joseph, Deshonte Riley, Mookie Jones along with the aforementioned guards has the potential to be the deepest squad Boeheim has ever had.

This as well: Here's the word on about Mike Williams from a source that can confirm nor deny this: Saturday night after the Cincinnati loss, Coach Marrone indicated that he wanted all the players to stay on campus that evening. Well allegedly, Williams went out with some friends to the Turning Stone casino(35 minute drive from Syracuse). Apparently, while out at the casino, his "entourage" was in a minor traffic accident, and that it had appeared that a few people in that vehicle had been drinking. When Coach Marrone got word of what happened, he was apparently incensed & planned to suspend Williams for a second time this year for breaking team rules. (His 1st suspension was for the Akron game a couple of weeks ago, allegedly for failing to show up for class. He was also kicked out of school in June 2008 for academic fraud after getting caught cheating twice.) And when told of his possible suspension, Williams allegedly told Coach Marrone to "F" off & said that he quit. If that's true, then he gets whatever he deserves. Moron.

Lest we not forget USC's Mike Williams, the other loser with that moniker.

No but this level of desertion on his behalf is nearly unprecedented by a sure fire draft pick. He could have left the team for personal reasons without "leaving the program". You have to think the kid is just not in a good place mentally. If he had put any thought into this decision, it could have went a hundred different ways. You have to wonder who his support system is. We all have family & friends we use to help with tough times and difficult decisions. Where was his? It's very hard to understand.

He's a senior, his eligibility has expired. He's declaring for the draft. He only had to play football another month before he would have been a first day pick, now you have to wonder if he'll get drafted at all. It makes you wonder what the hell is going on in the kids life.

Reasons not cited. Anyone have a clue?

Time Warner charges ~ $20 buck a month per. It's killing me. One for the living room, one for the basement, one for my brother, one for the bar. I have two housemates, so the TV time is a premium. Working 75 hours a week, you'd think I could get the 5 or 6 hours I'd like to watch TV to myself but my housemates are among the biggest couch potatoes there are. Luckily I get rent from them every month.

That article is 3 years old. Here is a decent and up to date site. It may not change your point, but the Sabres have spent money recently, with the players you've named above as the best examples.

What do you do with Lalime? Send him down to Portland while paying him his NHL salary (although it won't count against the cap)? Buy him out at 2/3 his deal, spreading the cap hit over the next 2 years? Making a trade for Marty isn't as simple as do the Sabres want to get him.

You do realize they are almost against the cap ceiling?

I think Jay-Z has carried the rap scene with some accord. His flow may not be to the level of Tupac and Biggie but the way he's evolved over the years has been intriguing. I like the live stuff and using of actual instruments he's been doing lately. Very tastey!

I just picked up my 4th HD DVR for my house which runs my Time Warner Cable bill up to $150 a month minus road runner. Looking for some input from posters who have other services. Here are my needs: Sabres games, HD channels, multiple HD DVR's.

Why, yes, yes she was.

Did you end up watching the game? I'm sure Pelican's would have had the game on if you requested it, or possibly without requesting it. Not sure if I'd want my wife going to a Halloween Party at a bar without me, I guess you know who she's going home with. Hopefully she didn't enjoy any dick in a box costumes.

An additional year under contract, but at this point it's all moot. "Saving" him for next year, when he's arguably the best D man on the team, would obviously be stupid. He's already contributing to W's, sending him down may actually add a few L's to the team's record.

Can someone explain to me why it looks like she put on 75 lbs in some of those photos? A couple of them she looks okay, the rest, she's a cow.

Yeah, his. Did I mention I think bikes have no place in the middle of the road?

Had he been moving that fast I would have waited for the tool to pass through the intersection, but I passed him going 15 mph decelerating into my turn like he was standing still. I'd be shocked if he was going 3 mph. He was just an arrogant ass who thinks everyone should cater to his little bicycle rules.

My truck weighs > 3000 lbs, him + bike < 200 lbs. Sounds like he needed to yeild. On the rare occasion I come to an intersection (on a bike), I always stop a make sure no vehicle coming from any direction has any chance of coming near me.

Living in the community that I do, with access to the canal path and sidewalks (yeah I ride on them) abundandt, I don't ever ride in the street. Since we have a lot of Lance wannabees bkiing around it impacts me as well. I was coming to an intersection where I was making a right, a biker was slowing down to cross the intersection. He was on the shoulder of the road and I had reached the intersection 2-3 seconds prior to him. So I proceed to make my right hand turn, fully aware he was there, slowing down and not yet to the point where we would have intersected. He starts flailing and bitching like I cut him off, even though I was through the intersection before he had one tire in it. Am I at fault?

Has anyone in this thread actually watched Merrimen play the last couple of seasons? He's a shell of his former self. Whether it's the roids or the injuries, he's no better than Ashlee Palmer at this point.
