  1. 2017-27th 2017-3rd round 2018-first round in exchange for this years 10th overall.
  2. from 27th to 10th is a big move... we better get a couple number ones and number twos for this.
  3. Looks like we will need to fine another Williams.
  4. Did the breeder resemble this guy?
  5. I am a trained marksman. In a prone position at 100 yards using a match rifle and matching match ammo with a .22LR would be a challenge to hit a shoe but definitely doable. Double that distance using a stock rifle and stock ammo you are nuts. Even with match grade ammo and rifle to hit an object that small taking into account wind and elevation changes is very difficult. Also, I thought his shooting the rifle into the air and not seeing any recoil was just awful to watch. Just the concussion of the round going off would kick up dust around him.
  6. Hawaii in May USA Shooting National Championship (Fort Benning GA) in June Freshman move in at Ohio State in August
  7. No... I understand inflation. Do you understand the laws of supply and demand and how inducing labor price controls on businesses contribute to inflation?
  8. That is absolutely not true. The price of gas was once $4 per gallon. Now its just above $2. Its all about supply and demand and the cost of producing the product.
  9. It artificially increases the costs. The costs of everything in turn will go up over time. It doesn't work.
  10. Businesses often operate an a razor thin margin in order to stay competitive. What you will get is layoffs, fewer hours for remaining employees and increased prices. And im some cases businesses will just leave or close for good. Federal minimum wage is a small business killer.
  11. I had it when I was a kid. Made a sandwich out of it.... thinly sliced with some mustard. Very good.
  12. Lets say you increase wages for the lowest earning employees from $10 to $15. Lets look at a Mcdonalds restaurant: Now, the team leaders who were making $14 per hour are making less... to even that out they need to increase them to $18 per hour. Now the shift supervisor earning $16 per hour are making less... they need to increase their wages to $20 per hour. Then the Assistant manager making $18 per hour are underpaid... they need to be increased to $22 per hour. The Manager who was making $20 per hour needs to be increased to $24. So if there are 12 employes earning minimum, 4 team leaders, 3 supervisors, and one assistant and 1 manager before the rate increase the 40 hour workweek payroll was 10,480. After the increase the payroll is now 15,920. McDonalds will have to cut expenses or increase prices. The same theory is applied to every single business model. As prices are inevitably increased so are living expenses like food, utilities and rent. Increasing the minimum wage without thought to the true cost and skill required to perform a job is idiotic.
  13. Looking back at the drafting of quarterbacks before and after 2000 where Brady was taken... how many are still starters the league: 1999: NAME POS SCHOOL ROUND PK(OVR) TEAM Tim Couch QB Kentucky 1 1(1) Cleveland Donovan McNabb QB Syracuse 1 2(2) Philadelphia Akili Smith QB Oregon 1 3(3) Cincinnati Daunte Culpepper QB UCF 1 11(11) Minnesota Cade McNown QB UCLA 1 12(12) Chicago Shaun King QB Tulane 2 19(50) Tampa Bay Brock Huard QB Washington 3 16(77) Seattle Joe Germaine QB Ohio State 4 6(101) Los Angeles Aaron Brooks QB Virginia 4 36(131) Green Bay Kevin Daft QB UC Davis 5 18(151) Tennessee 2000: NAME POS SCHOOL ROUND PK(OVR) TEAM Chad Pennington QB Marshall 1 18(18) NY Jets Giovanni Carmazzi QB Hofstra 3 3(65) San Francisco Chris Redman QB Louisville 3 13(75) Baltimore Tee Martin QB Tennessee 5 34(163) Pittsburgh Marc Bulger QB West Virginia 6 2(168) New Orleans Spergon Wynn QB Texas State University 6 17(183) Cleveland Tom Brady QB Michigan 6 33(199) New England 2001: NAME POS SCHOOL ROUND PK(OVR) TEAM Michael Vick QB Virginia Tech 1 1(1) Atlanta Drew Brees QB Purdue 2 1(32) Los Angeles Quincy Carter QB Georgia 2 22(53) Dallas Marques Tuiasosopo QB Washington 2 28(59) Oakland Chris Weinke QB Florida State 4 11(106) Carolina Sage Rosenfels QB Iowa State 4 14(109) Washington Jesse Palmer QB Florida 4 30(125) NY Giants Mike McMahon QB Rutgers 5 18(149) Detroit A.J. Feeley QB Oregon 5 24(155) Philadelphia Josh Booty QB LSU 6 9(172) Seattle Other than Brees there are none. So to say that his longevity is because of the rules about quarterbacks is false.
  14. Good way to get shot by a concealed carry permit holder.
