  1. I think "Twelve angry men" remake was excellent. Great cast, IMO, George C. Scott was amazing in it.
  2. "The Happening" was really bad.
  3. I agree with you, I think he was not the right man for the job if the job is negotiation. He's a fantastic litigation laywer but he didn't fit with what the situation called.
  4. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/05/16/eighth-circuit-tips-its-hand-judge-nelsons-ruling-is-in-serious-jeopardy/ It's just a matter of jurisdiction. We will see what DeSmith motives are, keep fighting or go back to the negotiation table.
  5. Simple question. I would like to see where people/fans stand in this matter.

  7. I agree there isn't a credible source behind this, but the NHL shutdown is enough precedent to conclude that this might be a possibility, moreso when Bob Batterman is on the NFL lawyers team. Rumbling or not, I see the owners taking this route if the terms of a new CBA are forced to them. I didn't invent the "nuclear option" term. It was first used by the media to describe the antitrust lawsuits the players were going to fill after a possible decertification. I know shutting down a league is not simple nor cheap but I see the owners saying this is enough, the business it's at an all time high but it's probably very close to it's peak of growth. If that is the case, when is enough for the players to get more? it's evident the owners (who know a thing or two about economics) are not happy with the last business model and see no more venues to squeeze a potential large revenue to share with the players. If I were an owner and my accountant is telling me that certain business model is unsustainable, not for the now but for an eventual future, you better believe that I'm listening (no matter how good the business is) If I have to lose now to earn more in the future, I buckle up and take care of my business before it's too late.
  8. Leave the canoli Jimmy.
  9. I never implied owners could shutdown without honoring their obligations. If this is their nuclear option they will study it's merit within the legal frame, they have Bob Betterman as one of their lawyers so I'm guessing this could be more than a rumor. Maybe this is point break for the owners, they're willing to lose some money to gain the leverage the court will never grant them.
  10. I hate that this kid missed his entire rookie year. I still remember Florence tweeting how impressed he was with him, two days into TC, mind you. Until his injury he was taking second string reps behind Kelsay so I assume that the coaches envisioned this kid eventually being able to play that hibrid position where he can play standing up or as a defensive end (like he did in College) After his injury and the signing of Merriman his future position became a little blurry; even though Gailey said they might move him inside, after the draft, I believe he is back to being projected outside and, as you said, LOLB/DE.

  12. This is the owners saying: OK. Dee Smith take the ball and hide in the locker room, when you come back, you won't have the goalposts and turf to play the game.
  13. Yeah, I deleted my account, a waste of time too.
  14. Think again: more

  16. I agree Simon and I think Nix does too. He is still a productive player and he's a good veteran presence in the locker room. I wish he could cut down the penalties but he's an agressive corner, sometimes pays off, sometimes he gets flaged.
  17. No UFDA this year, unfortunately, because of the lockout.
  18. But is he a hard worker? There are red flags about his effort, his game doesn't measure up with his size.
  19. Not impressed with Ayers or Houston.
  20. FWIW, Carpenter looked great playing for the South team in the Senior Bowl. I thought he would go between our 2nd and 3rd pick, suprised he went in the first round no doubt, but I liked the guy.
  21. Very happy we didn't draft this guy.
  22. Having no clear rules to follow, I doubt we see inminent players signs or trades. Maybe Philadelphia will try to move Kolb, the Bengals might try to do the same with Palmer. But, what if that happens and Kolb doesn't want to go to certain team, can he sue the Eagles, claiming it's illegal for them to trade him without a CBA in place. Maybe we see picks being traded but I don't see players transactions in this year draft.
  23. The second movie was like watching a two hour trailer, too damn much.
  24. A clear case of uromysitisis.
  25. I love horror films and Guillermo del Toro is one talented film maker. "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark", I will enjoy it.
