Is this site on a colocated server?

You are right it's all about load. I would still recommend splitting your OS and Data onto seperate RAID channels. That is sound advice regardless of load. It lays the ground work for growth and it significantly increases performance.

We run our database servers with three channel cards. 15k Hot-pluggable drives. 1st channel is for the OS -- it's at RAID 0. 2nd Channel is for Transaction Logs -- it's also at RAID 0. 3rd Channel is for the data and it's a RAID 5. At a minimum you need the OS and Data on seperate channels. Keep in mind if you drop transaction logs, you are going to feel it regardless of which channel you drop to. Which is why we dedicate a channel to tlogs. We drop every hour. If you want to run the Data on a RAID 10 -- you absolutely can. We have never needed it. You will get a better performance increase from dedicating a hardware RAID channel to your data and setting it to a RAID 5 and stuffing as many disks as you can in the channel. RAID 5 performance increases significantly with each extra drive added. Hardware RAID channel being the operative word. Software RAID has no place on a database server... any server for that matter.

+1 I am really looking forward to this season. I have not been able to say that for quite a while.

I have had Sunday Ticket for 10+ seasons. This season will be no different. When we passed on Mike Sherman to hire Dick--I pretty much just DVR'ed the games and would skip watch them later. Living in the Green Bay market I saw Dick's body of work in Chicago pretty much first hand--I knew we were screwed. This season I will be back to my old self watching them live in their entirety. We finally have a solid front office and by all appearances they are being allowed to run it the way they see fit. I like the plan--I like the execution. We will see how it all comes out in the end.

Christ. Someone jab a fork in my head. Please.

Moorman has been the face of our franchise for several years now IMO

I think you are taking your expertise (or lack there of) a little too seriously. Good thing Buddy actually has real world experience.

You have got to be kidding me. If I see TO go half ass on another route, not extending for a ball, that type of crap--one more time I might snap. He is a true POS.

I thought everyone else was packing too. My bad.

I agree. Lynch is a beast. Give him something to run behind.

Dead serious

He is listed on the Raiders 2009 & 2010 rosters. http://www.raiders.com/team/roster.html This is history repeating itself. Daryle Lamonica anyone? I have always liked JP. I especially liked the way he moved into the city and was front and center. I think he could have made a big stink when he was in Buffalo--but he chose to take the high road. I respect that quite a bit.

This Wisconsinite agrees with you.

I have always preferred the Throwbacks with the standing buffalo.

Doug Flutie, Warren Moon, Jeff Garcia, etc.

Stroud is. Williams would be a 5

I am not so sure. That 2003 Redskins D that Edwards coordinated did not fare so well. 24th overall, allowed 4.4 yds per rush. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2003/opp.htm

It gets really old doesn't it?

I see that vandals (Eagle fan) have been busy on his Wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Vick

I concur with this statement whole heartedly.

As I reading Felser's article this morning I could not help but notice Jim Mora Jr.'s name. I have not heard a peep about him since Seattle fired him. Think he might make the jump to Buffalo with DeHaven? I think my preference at this point is Bates or Sanders for DC--but Mora might make a lot of sense too.

Sure GB wants to retain him, but he does not want to play OLB either. My bet is that he ends up landing in Minnesota.

You don't think before you type do you? Or maybe you do. The only facts you pointed out are age related. The rest is speculation. Bad speculation at that. If your opinion is that a 70 year old cannot do the job of a 45 year old--you are either gravely misinformed or ignorant. I know many men in their 70's who are still working, and making more money than they ever have in their lives. Men who know what they are doing and never have knee jerk reactions. Personally after being in my current career for over 20 years-- I can tell you that I am much more than I was. I have made mistakes, like everyone has. The difference is now I have much more of a focused approach -- it is because I know what works and does not work. When I was younger I killed every task with hours -- now I kill them with a precise and streamlined approach. Experience. Read Buddy's interview from Mobile--he does not sound like he is over his head to me. Save your 'Homer' remarks for people who actually give a **** about your opinion.
