  1. That is also what I remember, but I could be wrong. Once again, history being rewritten.

     

    That's 100% true. Of note on the subject, the owners voted like 20-30 mins after the proposal was received, and most acknowledged at the time they had gotten their butts kicked, they just wanted to avoid a stoppage at the time and get back to the table ASAP.

  2. Looking at the receipt, it says that there were 10 guests. Assuming that none of these drinks were shared with anyone else except for the White Russians (3) there were 129 drinks ordered. 12 drinks per guest = :sick:

     

    I think it's a pretty big assumption that they weren't buying rounds for pretty much any girl in sight.

  3. Wow...can you imagine if he did decided to declare for the draft last year and some poor team in the top-5 drafted him? Particularly if the Rams decided to take him over Bradford?!?! What a disaster.

     

    Furthermore, by staying at Washington another year, he likely cost himself about 60-70 million dollars. Poor guy.

     

    If you believe that, you might be the only person.

  4. Good post. I think right now you'd have to put coughlin ahead of rex/smith/mccarthy..of course, 10 yrs from now, who knows. Coughlin took the expansion Jaguars to the AFC championship game twice i think, and won the SB w/the Giants and has over 130 wins...imo, he's definitely within top 5 currently

    I think a lot of people see a couple down years and forgot all the really good years that earned him the chance to weather the storms. Just cause some of the young guns haven't had their trouble yet, doesn't mean they won't. I'll guess one of them will be better than coughlin in the long run but who knows right now.

  5. #1- Belichick

    #2- Reid

    #3- Tomlin

    #4- Peyton

    #5- Coughlin

     

     

     

    Even if he doesn't win a SB, Reid will have HOF worthy numbers as a head coach when it's all said and done. McCarthy won the super bowl this past year, but I wouldn't just go ahead and put him ahead of Reid. IMHO.

     

    I dunno about coughlin but roughly...

     

    McCarthy has a chance to be on that cusp.

     

    Dont like mike smith - pull the Clements fumble and the Hartley missed chip shot and the falcons were only a wild card team. Doesn't have the track record to ignore this.

     

    Rex needs more time- can his loudmouth strategy actually work long-term?

     

    1- belichek, easy

    2- tomlin - anyone argue?

    3- Payton... SB win, built a team from scratch, distractions galore in the city- 2 NFC championship games in a couple years. Needs to do better with balanced consistent game plans.

    4-Reid - can't win the big game? We only know this cause he coaches his teams into the big games EVERY year. He does something right.

    5- I could see coughlin. He's had a couple down years but several good years. Of the Rex/smith/McCarthy.... Which will keep winning, which will trail off... I'm not sure but TC is probably right in the middle of that group.

     

    Well, people are talking about them now. Not very positively, though.

     

    Never won a playoff game, and VERY lucky this year... Above average but not elite.

     

    The Hartley 29 yard miss?

    The Clements pickoff and fumble?

    The no call on that PI to win the ravens game?

     

    Still good but... Not among the best.

  6. I don't see that as being within the rules of how trades are done. What if those players are gone? What if they change their mind and you are stuck with Peterson? If that is how things get conducted on draft day, why don't they just throw darts at a board of names?

     

    Agreed. It's too big a deal to do on a handshake. Like I said- what if vick gets arrested, Peterson hurt, something else? Suddenly one side can back out - no consequence. In fact- at that point following through would likely be penalized as this is illegal to begin with.

  7. Can't Andrew Luck decide he wants to be a multi-millionaire now & join any NFL team he wants?? Is this illegal like the draft is now?? The players crossed the lIne, why can't the college boys ?

     

    If I was a top prospect & decided that playing for the Panthers didn't fit my needs, why couldn't I find the team that was best for my situation all the while getting rich doing so ? I'm one to wonder why the established systems are in place & how to challenge them, live strong.

     

     

    Man - you just through the entire NFL upside down. And to think we were all here to witness it.

  8. First date we went to a wine and tapas bar in philly(no way would i use a certificate on a first date)....2nd date i did tell her in advance i had a deal certificate to a new wine bar on south street and we should check it out...best thing about it is they took the certificate that i showed them on my phone and didn't use the number, so my account still shows it as active. We went to lunch last week, just a random place we picked while walking through the time...gonna meet her tomorrow afternoon for lunch, again in her area(south jersey), I have a certificate for a place there but haven't definitely decided on the place. I am gonna call her tonite to confirm details...we'll see, its good til august. I also have one for a brunch at a place out my way, and also 2 passes to a wine trail that i have to use by end of april....that one i have no problem using. Just not sure if using them alot comes off as creepy or cheap, but she has indicated she is frugal...almost to a fault..

     

     

     

    yes she is very hot...way hotter than I deserve!

     

     

     

    I was kind of hoping you would chime in! Thanks!

     

    I'd agree with your instincts- probably not on a first date (although if prefaced, it's not a disaster) and probably not more than every few dates. If it's something she's into then cool, but I would be careful about it coming off as planning a relationship around specials instead of a cool coincidence that lines up with wanting to share time with her. IE still plan dates to share things that really interest you, going to favorite places, and not just what's in groupon the week before.

     

    It seems like your doing this, so no worries. I'd just be wary of using them all the time.

  9. I think him being 42-7 had more to do with the fact that TCU had the #1 rated college defense for 3 straight years. That certainly helps your QB when you're playing with the lead. And his completion percentage isn't that impressive when you take into consideration the gimmick offense TCU ran. There were a ton of screens and dump offs there. It's not like he was making a ton of NFL reads or throws. The guy was more of a game manager in my opinion. And his physical attributes are very average. Physically, he's no better than Fitz and I don't think he has better intangibles either.

     

     

    Shhh he has good stats and I never saw him play. We need him in the second, or were fools.

  10. Alot of the QBs are getting compared to former bills QBs

     

    Ryan Mallett- Drew Bleadsoe

    Christian Ponder- Trent Edwards

    Jake Locker- JP Losman

     

    I have also heard alot of people comparing players like Blaine Gabbert to Rob Johnson and Andy Dalton to Fitzpatrick. I find this interesting. The only QBs avoiding this are Cam and Kaepernick. Maybe we do need something new

     

    I'd guess outside of mallet and locker, most of that is just when discussing the bills specifically. A trent Edwards, comparison means little to the average Seahawks fan for instance.

     

    Also just because one type failed with different players coaches and schemes, doesn't mean they would with this situation. For all we know, Trent with gailey from the start could be great.

  11. Walk across any college campus from a SUNY to Harvard and you'll quickly see those smoking cigarettes are at little risk of becoming a social pariah. It's absolutely amazing how many kids still smoke.

     

     

    Agreed. It's a much larger percentage than you'd ever guess.

     

    But it's much harder to play football at 14 without parental support or knowledge.

  12. The new uniforms will probably debut when we pick our 1st player at the draft.

     

    I think it's sitting to be determined right now. If the CBA is doing ok progress I see the draft area on the calendar. If things are going to be on the shelf longterm, they may wait.

     

    The draft would be great but without players in them for months it would lose some of it's juice. I think if you expect some camps in may/June, free agency starting soon then it happens around the draft.

     

    Also-Have to remember it's the helmet, and pants too though so it'd have to be a seperate event for the whole shebang.

  13. I think you'll see a less dramatic effect. Some rule changes, and I dont doubt the 2023-2028 draft classes will be a little weak. Parents will pull youngsters away from the sport until there are new protections in place. Some of those multi sport athletes like drew brees will end up in baseball or one of the 2-3 others he had a chance to compete at a prolevel in potentially. The average fan will hardly notice, because the key to the NFL isn't that extra fraction of a second, it's the parity. As long as it effects the league and not just a single team, it'll be very hard to hurt the sport.

  14. Did Jauron and crew really bring in 30 prospects? I only remember a few each year, in fact I was just thinking how refreshing it is that Buddy and the boys are bringing in all of the top dogs!

     

    Regardless, I trust Buddy / Chan's due diligence more than Russ / Dick's :D

     

    Turns out every single team in the league brings in 30. Probably making a bigger impact as it's top 5 names this year.
