Actually, American oil companies are running scared because they finally realize they've had their heads in the sand for years. I've done extensive consulting for a group that represents the American petrolium industry. The stuff I wish I could tell you. There's a reason hydrogen-based fuel is the choice of the current administration, and it ain't only because it's a promising technology.

All real renewable energy initiatives went out the window when Bush was elected. Yes, he's supporting hydrogen fueled cars. But he cancelled many other viable methods of propulsion to do that. And why is he supporting hydrogen as a fuel? Here's a hint: there's only one efficient way to get hydrogen, and that is to extract it from water using .... you guessed it ... large amounts of petrolium products! Nah, but GW's connections to oil had nothing to do with that.

Not possible. Donahoe would have taken Shelton before he was ready to settle for that crap.

Actually, women can play Augusta. They just can't be primary members. Which is still a crock of sh-- IMHO, but it's a private club and I support fully the right of a private club to choose it's membership. I wrote a letter to Martha Burke asking her if she'd support my desire to become a member of The Rochester Athletic Club for Women. I didn't get a response. B word.

I love golf. Masters week is one of the best sports weeks of the year, IMHO. It is for me, at least. The tradition is amazing. Seeing Jack & Arnie play is wonderful. Anyway, I hate the dumbass IN THE HOLE!!!! thing. I also hate YOU THE MAN! Ok, maybe they were fine for one year, but year after year and tournament after tournament? Are these people morons?

Papal Infallability is one of the 4 main reasons I'm no longer a Catholic.

I can't imagine that would be good. And upscale plate? $15? I think the chef is missing the point.

I'd jump for joy if the Pats weren't such a powerhouse in our division. However, they are world champs, and I don't see that changing too much. They've still got the RB and QB to make them go.

So you're complaining allready about something that hasn't happened yet? Let's get real.

Sure there's such a thing as a good working relationship. But there's also tons of evidence of corruption, waste, and stupid union rules that make it difficult for companies to compete. For example, the last place I worked, I couldn't move a small table & 3 chairs 10 feet to have a meeting without calling facilities to do it. Why? The union that the facilities maintenance crews belonged to forced my former place of buisness to include that in their renewed contract. They were afriad that they would become useless. So my former place of work not only had to deal with the inefficiency that this caused, they had to set up a system by which I had to request stupid services like this, and wait for 3 days for the stuff to be moved. Yeah, that makes quite a bit of sense. That's the kind of stupidity that helps me form my opinion. Of course, some unions are good. Teacher's unions for example. And please don't use the NFL as an example of what that majority of unions are like. These players are MILLIONAIRES, not your average joe. I am a smart guy. Who thinks the days of corruption and ineficciency should be behind us.

Unless I'm mistaken, only the top 53 players count towards the team's offical cap number. That could account for the difference.

I have a few suggestions for you. 1. Read some Ayn Rand. 2. Take some basic economics classes. 3. Quit your union.

Oh my God! Are you actually trying to tell me that how much it costs to make an item doesn't influence its price? Please tell me you are joking.

And I had a killer craving, too! As it turns out, I'm the only project manager (and client contact) out of 4 to be in the office today. No friggin' lunch for me. Someone ordered chinese for me. It doesn't compare.

Very true. Props to Mularkey as well. The fact is despite not making the playoffs, this team has made solid, steady progress every year. I like that.

We signed some depth on OL, possibly a starter. We also are being recognized for having a great ST coach, and great STs! Just thinking about how much this probably pisses of Martz makes me happy. And thanks and props to Modrak and Donahoe for finding great players to give April for STs.

Yeah, he was actually in a number of High School plays where he was the lead. He can sing quite well and he's a good dancer!

Travis Henry is NOT older. Actually, he's a few months younger. Get your story straight. Travis Henry is by far a more accomplished RB. He has TWO 1300 yard seasons behind him - one with a broken leg. Yes, he's better. By far. I know it's en vouge to trash Travis, and that's fine. But do it with facts, not lies. Another thing you've got to realize is there is a percieved value for a RB. Two 1300 yard seasons speaks volumes, as does his willingness to play injured.

Well, I didn't want to mention this here, but I actually know the guy. He's not only huge, he's brilliant. He was in all AP classes in high school and breezed through them. He had the choice of academic or football scholarships coming out of high school, but chose football because he enjoyed the challenge. He's really an interesting guy. Even with his accent.

I hear he'll be working out for the Bills on April 1.

Add that to the list of reasons I dislike many unions as they exist today. Here's a better link: Linky linky

Try writing a cover letter or resume like that and then talk to me.

OK - The broncos just traded a guy who has rushed for 1200 yards ONCE for a DL starter and another player. And Droughns will serve as a backup to Suggs. BACKUP. Henry is easily worth a starting OL - who happens to be in Arizona's doghouse and a pick. I sure am glad Donahoe isn't a spaz and pull the trigger on a player for player trade that didn't give enough value for the Bills. Henry is better than Droughns, and therefor the Bills will get more for him. Patience is a virtue, in both GMs and fans. Our GM has it, now it's time for more fans to get it.

I think you're being a bit silly listing those players. I agree with TD finding talent for less money, though. And that's the way it should be. This isn't a charity or pity party. "But Marcellus was such a great quote we should have kept him!"

I'm surprised he still has metal on that axe he's grinding.
