  1. I live in the "Lehigh Valley" which includes the Bangor School District where this teacher was previously employed.

     

    This teacher, is the latest in a line of female child predators locally. They just sentenced another female teacher to five years in state prison for having sex with a 17 year old on prom night. The defense tried using the fact that said minor was only a week shy of his 18th birthday and "it only happened once".

     

    I don't know about other states, but judges in Pennsylvania are starting to give equally harsh sentences to female teachers that commit these crimes. They get pretty significant jail time and a Megans Law listing.

  2. Tom Brady best watch it.

     

    He's setting himself up for the last two years of his career in a Bills uniform and forever subjected to the NFL Films shows about NFL legends who finished their career with "other" teams.

     

    And those two years will have record snowfall for nearly all home games. Beginning as early as it possibly could.

     

    Of course those two Bills teams will not only make the Super Bowl but win it, forever casting Brady in a Bills uniform and not in a Patriots uniform.

     

    That'd be pretty ironically awesome.

  3. Oh, yes he is! While I totally agree with those who think he will retire as a Colt, if for some reason that doesn't work out Peyton will play hardball to get everything he wants and more. Remember what happened when Eli was drafted? The same "advisor" is calling this one. His name is Archie.

     

    Mark my words, if Peyton plays he'll end up looking like a prick just like his brother did at the draft.

     

    ...and that's why I think he won't do it. He jeopardizes his future career in broadcasting, television and/or coaching by running off and playing for another team.

     

    If I'm Manning I retire and make more money doing what I was born to do. Commercials and SNL. The man is hilarious.

  4. Colston would be great, but, for some reason, I just can't see New Orleans letting him slip away...Meahem possibly. RM has been "briliant" at times, but inconsistant over his career...good friend of mine is a huge Saints fan...every Sunday evening when I would talk to him, he would have some gripe about Meachem...but we also know he can be terrific at times.

     

    I don't think New Orleans will let him go either unless they run into some serious money issues with resigning Brees and Sedrick Ellis and doing something with Carl Nicks. They also in theory would be in the hunt for big names to help out the defense so they don't have endless amount of money to spend.

  5. I still think Manning retires. He isn't healthy. He's a legend in Indy. How he handles things right now will define his legacy and his career after football. He's aware of that. So is Irsay.

     

    However, should he not retire, I see him delaying the bonus to engineer a trade where both he and the Colts make out on the deal. He goes to where he wants to, and Indy gets some compensation back in return.

     

    Out of the teams listed, I picked the Cardinals. Dome team, excellent WR talent, overall good team that isn't in the AFC nor has to face the old home crowd. I don't think he'll be playing in the AFC at all nor in the NFC East. This guy isn't a mercenary to the highest bidder.

  6. Long snapper, next to backup QB, is the best job in sports.

     

    I'd agree, but if you had your choice... would you rather:

     

    Being Brian Cardinal: the last on the bench in the NBA (good salary and you watch all the games ON the floor);

    The "light hitting, questionable glove, but somewhat speedy" reserve infielder in baseball;

    Long snapper.

  7. Don't forget about Marques Colston. He would look great opposite Stevie in this offense: big, physical WR with sure hands who has been highly productive. I think NO will have a tough time re-signing him with Brees due for a new deal any time now. They also have their all-pro guard Nicks up for a new deal

     

    I also think Colston would be a little bit cheaper then VJax without the baggage. It hasn't exactly been smooth sailing in SD during Jackson's time there. Colston is a former 7th round pick, similar to Stevie, who has busted his ass to become a successful starting NFL WR. He has a great set of hands on him and can go up & over any CB in the league for a ball. Exactly what Nix was talking about when he said they need a WR that "is open even when they're covered"

     

    I'm with you on Colston. I think he's the best of the bunch that's out there. Ironically, if the Bills were in the market for two receivers, I'd try to sign his teammate Meachem too. Given Gailey's love of the spread offense, he'd get plenty of work.

  8. make adjustments with you non NFL roster COME ON !!!

     

    He's got what he's got. I saw some of those game loses more on him than any perceived or real lack of talent.

     

    Even if you have a team of Ravens caliber defense and Packers offense, if you don't adjust your game strategy and play calling, you will lose.

     

    The best coaches in the NFL do not apply a stonecutter mentality to playcalling. They aren't going to run the same set of plays no matter what, in hopes of the 1,000 strike, the stone crumbles. They adjust to what the defense gives them and the players they've got.
