  1. Wow, that journal. Regardless of the facts of this situation, that may be the most heartbreaking thing I've ever started to read. Could not get far.
  2. Don't know, but it's been almost 10 months. The easy excuse would be for the police to say results aren't back, but they haven't as far as I've seen.
  3. Me either, but there seems to be some varying interpretations. If this goes to court, I am sure that age difference question will be a big one.
  4. It all comes down to the rape kit results. Just crazy that it's been almost a year and the police won't give the alleged victim the results.
  5. This says differently. 3 years is the magic number, but I'm sure that will be part of the legal arguments.
  6. Lots of lawyers like that guy in every legal field. Some can back it up, some can't.
  7. Yeah it will be close. The one video I watched with an expert in this sort of stuff said it's less than 3 years older = misdemeanor more than 3 = felony
  8. She was 17. If the rape kit has his DNA, he's going to get charged with a felony. The police, however, will not release the result of the potential victim's rape kit to her. WTF? Those results will eventually be released and then we'll see. Not a great look for the Bills. May explain the draft day slide. Don't know if the video has been posted (have not been through the whole thread), but it was an open secret on campus. SDSU not looking great either.
  9. Not much, but here's the rest.... ------------------------------------------------ Questions that remain: Last year, Ryan Fitzpatrick started the season on fire but faded late. His 23 interceptions can't be overlooked, but I know he played the second half of the season with a cracked rib. Combined with merely adequate blocking and a lack of options outside of Stevie Johnson at wide receiver, Fitzpatrick was a guy trying to force things. That's a long way of saying I think he can bounce back. My question is whether he has enough protection and weapons. The backfield is fine, assuming Fred Jackson is healthy and the team finds ways to get C.J. Spiller enough touches. But Johnson is the one guy in this group of wide receivers I feel can consistently separate, and when teams roll coverages his way, others must step up. Donald Jones? David Nelson? Rookie T.J. Graham? The blocking must also get better, otherwise I wonder if this season will be a less-than-fair audit of Fitzpatrick. Next year's help, now: Keenan Allen, WR, Cal With great run-after-catch ability, Allen isn't a total burner, but the former safety knows how to work in space and has exceptional hands. He is an ideal target to complement Johnson on the outside.
  10. My wife just said Brett Favre has a small unit. Made my night!
  11. I would be very happy with Sidbury, one of the three tight ends, or Meredith. At least we seem to have alot of options coming up!
  12. Thanks Tennesee for starting the run on TE's. Not that the Bills will draft a decent one anyhow...
  13. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3804004 Favre may not be back with the Jets. Doesn't sound like he's well-liked by anyone on the team. Basically he did not associate with anyone else on the team, had his own "special" room that he always hung out in, his preparation for games was lacking, etc. Why does he keep coming back? He obviously does not want to do the work to help his team win in the long run anymore.
  14. per ESPN news. A vote was just taken and a new contract is ratified. Salary cap will be higher than expected so some teams may keep their free agents.
  15. Many other Yankees fans are saying he's overpaid. I was just proving he's not in comparison to the market that has been set. You have said all along that he is an excellent player, so it's not directed at you. I am pointing out to the other Yankees fans that obviously don't pay attention to other players that there are good ones outside of the Bronx. If you don't like the Jeter comparison, we can always compare him to Bernie Williams. P.S. I am comparing stats, not position anyhow, so I don't see why a SS and CF can't be compared. There are great players at every position nowadays so the comparisons hold up.
  16. The fact of the matter is Beltran is the premier 5 tool player in the game today and he's only 27. He's the first player in MLB history to have 4 straight seasons of 100 runs, 100 rbi, 20 hr, and 30 sb. I will compare him to Jeter if you Yankees fans want, but I'm sure you won't want to. And Jeter makes more money and is older. And yes, Jeter has won rings, but it wasn't Beltran's fault he's been in KC all these years. Put Jeter in KC and see how many rings he wins Beltran certainly did all he could for Houston in his 1st (yes 1st) postseason. Houston wouldn't even have sniffed the WS without him. To pay alot for that type of player does not bother me in the least, especially considering many players who don't have all the 5 tools are paid more (Giambi, Jeter, Ramirez, Sosa, etc) . This is a great signing for the Mets and considering they probably aren't done, will propel them to a great season now that they have a GM that knows what he's doing. Remember, he's the same GM who fleeced the Yankees for Javier Vazquez....
  17. Actually, I would equate the Yankees and the Redskins. The Yankees spend more money than anyone else and still don't win, both owners are jerks, and they both like over-the-hill and overpriced players. Sounds like more of a match to me.
  18. Yeah, they already use all the diapers they can find on ARod...He probably would throw a fit if all the diapers weren't for him anymore
  19. Yankees fans are just upset and can't vent their frustration in the right place. Blame gluttonous George boys! Until the Yankees go back to developing their team like they did when they won their rings instead of overpaying for every steroid freak and/or aging "superstar" they will never win the World Series again. They may make the playoffs, but are doomed to be exposed in embarrassing fashion just like the last 4 years. No heart (ARod, Giambi, Vazquez, etc, etc) will never equal the quality team players they had in Brosius, Oneill, younger Tino, etc. Sorry guys, but get used to the disappointment!
  20. Reasons why they won't win this year (again). My #1 reasons is still age of the team and the fact that they no longer build their team from within. But hey, that's just my opinion... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/stor...yson&id=1960725 http://msn.foxsports.com/story/3292648
  21. I wonder why this was posted at all. It was the biggest foregone conclusion in history. The thing that Yankees fans need to worry about is the fact that they probably have the oldest team in professional sports history. They are bound to break down any time. They will then be on the hook for major, unmovable contracts. Also they have seen what steroids can do to their players. Giambi is worthless now and how long before all the roids Sheffield took catch up with him?
  22. No sure if this has been posted, but we passed Washington yesterday and ended up #2 in the league in Defense. We actually outgained Pitt by 5 yards, but it sure didn't feel that way...Must have been the short field they had all day
  23. Since it was on National tv, I will talk about the score if I want. It's called ESPN...get it :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:
  24. They're both 6-5 for chrissakes. Should not be 35-6 by any stretch of the imagination. SU football is so embarrassing now. Why can't they realize that they need to do something different???? Coaching is the first thing to change, and yet, they haven't tried it. Give me a break!
