  1. http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story/_/id/10990605/sean-lee-dallas-cowboys-injured-otas Tough break. Given his history of injuries and the 10M signing bonus he just received, may want to consider other career options when/if he recovers.
  2. I'm thinking either gridlocked or do nothing has to be worked into this....
  3. Where in the article does it say anything about her being an addict?Looks like you did not read the article or my response accurately. At no place in the article was the girl crying for help. She DID NOT HAVE AN ALCOHOL PROBLEM as a sophomore. She struggled with school. The school did its job, she was graduating and going on to college. I'll grant you that getting into the Pharmacy business is not a great career choice for an addict, but there is no mention of prior substance problem (neither alcohol or otherwise) in the article. Unless you are making the jump that drinking at the prom is an indication of addiction.
  4. Congrats! Please share your secret about getting your son to leave home the same year he graduated college!!
  5. Was at the game. At half time, put my head down in my lap, looked up at my brother and said, only half kiddingly "this could be our finest hour" My eyes got a little wet reading your rehash of Van's game call.
  6. Take time to grieve. When the time is right, pick up another. Consider a rescue dog.
  7. The article states she "...had struggled with school as a sophomore...", not alcohol. It went on to say that she had made it through and was planning on going to college to become a pharmacy technician. Sounds like the school gave her the help she needed, not only to make it through HS but to put her on the path to a future. Schools' job is to promote learning, too often they are also expected to play a roll in parenting. This certainly is not something the school should be blamed for. Tragic result regardless.
  8. I never knew Gill Byrd was his father. Interesting that he played 10 years and never made the pro bowl until his last two. Guessing JB made more last year than his father made in his entire career!
  9. Flash forward a couple years, there was an interview with Kelly talking about playing for Oakland but snickering and saying that Buffalo still owned the rights to him. Then Al Davis is asked about his chances of acquiring him to which he responds that Ralph Wilson still hasn't forgiven him for Daryl Lamonica.
  10. Not only that, it was spelled incorrectly!
  11. Manziel, Fuller. Think Mack will be slightly above average, worthy of a second or third round pick, not a top 5.
  12. Hope you're right and I'm wrong. Will gladly change my mind on the pick/trade if it works out like the Bennett trade, which I was as upset about as this trade.
  13. Thought I was the only one that felt like this. Wanted Aaron Donald at 9 (even if Watkins was still on the board.)
  14. ? 7 good years and a 4th (or maybe 3rd) is not great return on a 7th round pick? Take it any day!
  15. We'll be facing Revis Island twice next year. Stevie seemed to have his number when he was with the Jets. He'll be here at least until week 6.
  16. Scott Chandler, Lee Smith, Tony Moeaki, Chris Gagg, Mike Caussin, Brandon Kaufmann. Having spent 1st and 6ths on WR, unlikely the Bills will address tight end. This assumes reports of Kaufmann at 245 are accurate, otherwise he stays at WR and he is unhappy.
  17. 1 - Aaron Donald, DT, Pitt 2 - Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama 3 - Gabe Jackson, G, Miss State 4 - Trevor Reilly, OLB, Utah 5 - Brandon Thomas G/T, Clemson 6 - Mike Williams, WR via trade w/ TB 7 - Tom Hornsey, P, Memphis
  18. No chance anyone would take a player from the MAC #1...oh wait. Not since 2013 anyways.
  19. I hope the TPC ruins the Saturday ratings for the draft and they move it up next year. This has gone on way too long...
  20. Couldn't or wouldn't? Maybe the league didn't want to be accused of discriminating against whatever affliction he has that forces him to make this kind of public display
  21. I think the odds of Donald at 9 just went up
  22. In case anyone is wondering, the Cousineau pick eventually ended up being Jim Kelly.
  23. Not sure where this ranks him but:"...Jenkins ran a 4.56-second 40-yard dash while working out for the New York Jets..." per the link below http://www.thenewstr...tml?sp=/99/512/ Read more here: http://www.thenewstr.../#storylink=cpy
  24. He was my pick as this year's bust in another thread several weeks ago. Hope I'm wrong.
  25. This is the first thing I thought when reading the story in the morning paper (yes, I still get it delivered)
