  1. Just think how many Super Bowls the Bills would have won if only some of the people here were GMs. The Giants were rumored to be interested in him. I don't know who. McKelvin was a rated a top 10 pick. Ummmmm...............thanks?
  2. TO hasn't really entered the realm of overtalk yet. It's very close but recently it's died down. Toronto has been waaaaayyyyy over posted. Also add Jason Peters, JP Losman, TE, Beerballs intelligence (oh wait there can never be too many of those) and mock drafts. I think the mods should pin a mock draft thread for people to post their own and let people discuss them there. It would probably stop hundreds of posts between now and the draft. That joke has been over posted too.
  3. Thanks for clarifying that. Nice way of explaining that. BTW, do you know why Polian was fired by Ralph?
  4. The three Bills QB's are cemented into their positions. IMO.
  5. This is at the bottom of the piece; POSTSCRIPT: Some commenters seem bemused by the fact that both toxic dumping and the theft of fish are happening in the same place - wouldn't this make the fish contaminated? In fact, Somalia's coastline is vast, stretching to 3300km. Imagine how easy it would be - without any coastguard or army - to steal fish from Florida and dump nuclear waste on California, and you get the idea. These events are happening in different places - but with the same horrible effect: death for the locals, and stirred-up piracy. There's no contradiction.
  6. Thanks, an awesome rundown of the problem.
  7. I'm surprised to see that right now 80% agree with that. I would have thought a lot more people would be chiming in on the other choice.
  8. If you think Donte Whitner was rated a second round talent in that draft you're insane or as someone else said, clueless. Michael Huff was taken one pick ahead of Whitner and Whitner is the better S. I think the move to FS will make Whitner a lot more effective Here's what our resident expert thinks about Whitner. 'Nuff said. He's not a horse for cryin out loud. I doubt that. The BMW wants too much money. I don't think that's a bad track record at all. Then why should they let him go if they have him as the best player for them before their next pick? Simpson had a great first year. You can't grade a guy based on an injury yet. I think he comes back strong this year.
  9. Personally I'm annoyed by those who say Donte Whitner was a reach. He wouldn't have been around the next time the Bills picked and to me that's not a reach. IMO, taking a guy who should still be there with the next pick is a reach and that's the only way to define it. A players production has a lot to do with it too. In the 2006 draft Michael Huff was taken at #7 and Whitner at #8. Michael Huff Donte Whitner Also in that draft Vince Young and Matt Leinart were taken before Jay Cutler. If Cutler had been the first QB taken people would have called it a reach but in hindsight it wouldn't have been. If a team wants a guy and he's not going to be there on the next pick taking him at their spot is just smart and not a reach. A team cannot always trade back with another team even if it's only for an extra 7th round pick. If the other team has a guy targeted to go at their spot and they are sure he'll be there why would they trade up? JMO
  10. There is no such thing as high unless the player is most likely still going to be there on the next pick. JMO What do you mean "That time of year?" Isn't the intelligence of the posters here tested all year round?
  11. The last thing I'd ever call Beerball is wise, just sayin. I got into an argument with a Jests fan because I call them the NJ Jests. I said they play in NJ they aren't a New York team. His answer was they hold training camp in NY. I said that by that logic it should be the California Cowboys and Wisconsin Rams. Unless the Jests decide to make their TC as great as Buffalo's is it's a very small problem. I doubt they're going to do that. Also, this year is a bad year to do it. I think a lot of people from Syracuse will be showing up at Bills camp because of TO. I'm wondering if the place might overflow.
  12. I'm not so sure that's true. I think if they were this/close to signing him he'd probably say much the same thing. I don't think he'd jinx the negotiations by saying we are very close to an agreement with him. JMO Or a 5) they have reached a monetary agreement and are now just quibbling over guaranteed monies. I think he should be paid as the highest LT in the game. I'm getting the feeling that it's his agents ridiculous way of negotiating that may be slowing the process down. I think a lot of agents would have gotten a deal done by now. It might be that Peters isn't in Buffalo working out right now. It might be the same problem as last year. I think he's taking his agents advice without realizing it really hasn't helped him at all and in fact has greatly hurt his negotiating tactics.
  13. My reaction would be to fall on the floor and go; oh-no.....stop.....please......stop.......ok, i'm sorry..... i'll do anything you want to apologize.
  14. I'm going and robbing her too!!
  15. I bet you would! Hey this guy will see a lot of pictures of super models in prison, when they're taped to his back.
  16. Not at all IMO. On Friday, a federal immigration board rejected an emergency appeal for a stay of Demjanjuk's deportation. His attorney, John Broadley, had argued that deporting him would constitute torture because of his health problems. Broadley has said Demjanjuk suffers from pre-leukemia, kidney problems, spinal problems and "a couple of types of gout." _____________________________________________ Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center found irony in Broadley's argument for his client. "He wants to plead the sense of fairness that he regularly denied all of the victims at Sobibor," Hier said. He called Demjanjuk's comparison of his planned deportation to torture "preposterous coming from a person that served the [Nazi organization] S.S. in a death camp. It is a preposterous argument and insulting to the survivors of the Holocaust." Hier said that 250,000 Jews were killed at the camp and that none of the guards who worked there was blameless. "You were there for one job: kill the Jews," he said. "And that's what they did full-time."[/i] 'Nuff said. He committed heinous war crimes. I don't see any reason to let anyone go on that one. I think we need to know why it was overturned.
  17. Is that true? Link?
  18. So your answer to the previous post about wives giving BJ's makes you post a Then at the end of your post you tell him to "Suck it up!" Dr.Freud, paging Dr. Freud!
  19. The all time low is a 4 by Darren Davis, a running back from Iowa State who scored a 4. He graduated college!! Man, Iowa State takes their football program very seriously. Linkage Former Giants defensive end speaks to CSN students about life Written by NaplesNews.com Wednesday, 05 March 2008 While starting his non-profit Game Plan Foundation, which assists retired NFL players, Leonard Marshall made a startling discovery: Despite making millions of dollars in the league, some of the former players, Marshall found, are functionally illiterate. And people wonder why a lot of NFL players expect things to be handed to them and to be treated like Gods. If a guy can get through high school and college while being functionally illiterate a lot of grade inflation and/or having people do your homework for you is going on. So it's no wonder they feel their crap doesn't stink! A friend of mine went to Geneseo and at a party he looked at a hockey players text book and one chapter was titled; "Recognizing Ideas"
  20. Suck up! I'm guessing 0-16. That way I won't be disappointed.
  21. Ex-boyfriends? Here's an article on what the Pentagon is thinking. Pentagon planners are preparing a variety of options for dealing with Somali pirates, and a United Nations resolution gives them the authority to conduct operations inside Somalia. "The ultimate solution for piracy is on land," said Vice Adm. William Gortney, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the Combined Maritime Forces. "Piracy around the world stems from activity where there is lawlessness, lack of governance, economic instability; things of that nature. And wherever you have that, you're going to have criminal activity at sea," he said at a Monday briefing.
