  1. Something similar to this happened at my high school. A few kids thought if they broke in and caused enough damage school would be cancelled. They stole iPods and phones and just threw everything from lockers. I was pissed because I loved my high school. A janitor showed up early and called the assistant principal. The kids that did it (3 or 4 students) were arrested by lunch time and charged with burglary, criminal mischief and kicked out of school (I went to a private school) Most of them were "good" kids too
  2. To counter that: Lovie knows how valuable a good QB is. He is one Rex Grossman from having a super bowl ring. If he though Glennon had any shot of being good, he'd keep him
  3. Greg Gabriel was on the John Murphy show the other night and when asked if the Bills were moving up as McShay reported, Gabriel just laughed and said not if McShay said it, Kiper maybe, not mcshay
  4. Im actually a little surprised by this. I thought he played well enough to be a solid backup in the league. Someone will pick him up I'm sure
  5. Two first rounders for a 34 year old with a bad back? Not a chance
  6. The former GM also knew he needed more than one good player
  7. Hadn't considered that but i doubt other leagues need to do such a ban. He simply wouldn't be approved as an owner
  8. Totally agree that guy is a dick. Just something I was thinking about this morning
  9. i don't disagree at all with this guy being a dick. He is and that is very apparent. He should be in hot water But then I look at events like the whole #cancelcolbert nonsense. The pitchforks were out even before he had a chance to respond. Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty comes to mind too. Again I personally don't also disagree with everyone's reaction to certain issues (Donald Sterling included), my hope is that America doesn't become a single minded nation were only the majority line of thinking or the loudest voice is "right". Disagreement is natural and in some cases should be encouraged. (Not in this case of course) I'm really commenting on society as a whole, not just this situation.
  10. What is most sad to me about a story like this is that an ignorant man has to be tarred and feathered instead of educated. When I step back from this and try to think about the situation a few different ways. One viewpoint is that "Watch what you say and if we don't agree with you, a million people are going to show you how much we hate you." How is that any different than what this man has done? Hate breeds hate I guess My guess is that the Commish will come out, condemn him, suspend and him and fine him a huge sum of money that will be donated to a local charity. Then eventually after many months of shaming, the team will be sold to Magic Johnson in some sort of poetic justice. But what really came of all this in the end? One voice grew louder and drove the bigot out? What does that really say about how far the country has come on issues like racism? Or just unpopular opinions? I guess what the point I'm trying to make is that instead of shoving a pitchfork up somebody's ass when they say something unpopular, we take time to educate rather than simply destroy him/her. For me this goes beyond the many social issues facing our country today (gay marriage, pot, racism, sexism, ect.) and to just unpopular opinions in general. I really hope this country doesn't become a place where if you say the Earth is round, you go to jail. That said, its clear this guy is a bigot. I'm sure society/ the NBA will handle him appropriately and I won't shed a tear for him.
  11. The difference between Mike Williams and Stevie is the number of times they have been stabbed by family members
  12. Hopefully it doesn't spread beyond that.
  13. We have absolutely zero reason to need to get cap savings. None
  14. The original post. Not sure if it was the Ops or AW
  15. Any game Trent Edwards started for starters. If Fred Jackson was out we wouldnt continue to do what we were best at. I always thought under Gailey the team played scared at times, especially on defense. With Marrone at the helm I've never gotten that impression. Sorry i guess I wasn't clear in my other post
  16. And we just kept passing on Clausen! TWICE! He would have helped us bottom out!
  17. One thing I loved from last season was no matter what players were on the field the team was aggressive. For years we saw timid play when a starter was out and that used to make me so angry.
  18. Who though? Certainly not Pryor.
  19. He's practicing at Chuckie Cheese I read
  20. Fair enough, typically those guys don't make it to FA
  21. A guy can't have a nice apartment?
