  1. I said near the end of the season, draft 2OL, a running back, LB, safety and at least 1 QB. PU a ufa, draft a QB every year until one hits. It is not a waste, just a crap shoot and you have to keep rolling till a QB comes up. Still draft one this year no matter how weak you think the draft is. P.S. Is Hunley gonna be around in the 2nd?
  2. Yeh, about what I was going to say, confuse the QB, don't give him his first two reads... after that better than even odds the play goes for nadda.
  3. On the Sabres website www.sabrespace.com I am part of Tank Nation known as icehole. Still play hockey... and those three with RJ and OJ were some of my earliest sports memories.
  4. Agreed, I do think if he or any of the other lowely rated QBs are around in the 4th or 5th round then great, but not until they draft a lineman and a linebacker and possibly another TE.
  5. It doesn't take much to be a reporter, some of these guys can't even do it well.
  6. Sounds like he learned about work from Wall Street... Not bad...
  7. Yeh property taxes are higher, but if Clay is raising a family, NY schools are that much better. Services are better unless you are an old person, so the tax argument has two sides. Also sales taxes in FL make up for a lot of the disparity in income and property taxes. Also there are many right offs on Fed from State taxes that he can take advantage of. IMO the reason I am in NY now is because I have kids. When I retire, I will move south to a lower income tax state. Just the way it should work and they can take care of my oldness through medicaid and medicare.
  8. I stand corrected cycling had most head trauma for kids under 14 at 85,000 cases then football at 46,000 baseball at 38,000, basketball, 34,000 soccer at 24 ,000, and hockey at 8,000 cases according to aans.org the association of neurological surgeons. Interesting, though I wonder what the percentage of these injuries vs. overall percentage of participation??
  9. Interesting argument, but those same kids are playing hockey, lax and soccer in droves. All high concussion sports with Soccer considered the worst, high above those of football. The only difference I see is if a kid gets a concussion up North, they have to stay out of the sport for a long time under Drs supervision afterwards, especially after having a second one. Many of those kids move on to another less violent sport.
  10. Wait the military I guess acknowledges PTSD but barely does anything about it and is a long way from effectively diagnosing it and responding to it or any other mental health disease...in an effective consistent manner. Its a rough sport, concussions are part of it, they are still learning more about the brain and while both organizations have their faults, the issue is being addressed with the current knowledge available with the fact that the game is played the way it is. Should more be done, yup. Is there a lot of effort being put in right now to better understand and treat the issue yes, but their is a lot of inconsistencies and disorganization across the board. 10 years from now this effort will look even more pathetic as we learn more, but I don't think you can compare something in its infancy of medical research and treatment to efforts that have had years of progress made. If anything, I blame the military who has been aware of these issues for years and apparently made little progress in treating. That being said the brain is truly a complicated thing and the medical industry has a long way to go figuring out how to fix trauma or miswired circuitry. Dealing with my son's neuro issues has given me a ton of insight and plenty of frustration over how little is known about treating brain injuries.
  11. Big power forward on Fordham, backup center with softhands but build like a linebacker 6'6" gave UMass fits when he was in. Believe he was a senior.
  12. Whole crew of Buffalonians down there, lived there for 21 years and hung out on Sundays at Grevy's in Fallschurch and CJ Nickels in Springfield. Lots of transplants.
  13. Revis was a nice luxury, Bills really need. To lock down a guard and a TE, Clay hopefully, but they need to get their plan Bs and Cs in order
  14. agree with posts saying why, keep him draft one in 2nd or 3rd and unless Powell plays special teams or linebacker forget him. Jackson is a future coach, keep him on team. with Shady he wont have to the work like last year with fragile Spiller being out. And he can teach on the field.
  15. So Suh has reportedly agreed to 60 mil quaranteed, with Miami, 114 mil total not sure years. McCoy signs extension
  16. Western NY is different than upstate, but seriously had someone from Yonkers recently say I lived upstate in Northern Westchester. Growing up in Buffalo I always thought anyone Poughkeepsie and south was part of NYC and really so was Long Island. But hey it is all about perspective. When I lived in VA, I told people I lived in DC because I was just across the bridge. But people on the MD side seldom traveled down south to VA despite being just across the bridge and vice versa.
  17. Ah when in doubt blame Obama or Bush... both have been incompetent boobs...
  18. Agreed Warren Sapp is a pos, hence his recent arrest, still a helluv a football player.
  19. ESPN stating Panthers aren't going to resigning Hardy, also he faces 6 game suspension
  20. Exactly and Carroll admitted as much at the end taking responsibility and hey the rookie made a great play, not only stepping in front but actually catching the bullet... How many other DBs would have dropped that one as they were getting hit. They play DB for a reason, their hands prevented them from being WRs. Heckuv a catch for the rookie... no one could have expected that especially after he had been burned all game long.
  21. Trade??? Revis is pending FA... No need to trade and I think it would awesome! Two shutdown corners and a bunch of young guys to back them up, play Nickle etc.
  22. HA HA ha HA HA.... NEVER LIKED THE GUY... Well spoken but always talking with a chip on his shoulder and his side of the street has never been clean despite his often getting on his high horse....
  23. Sure he does, but that doesn't mean he should. This especially Sherman, There are ways to do it and even though I agree with him too, there are times when the mouth piece should be someone else other than the player. If he feels that strongly about it he should go after the perceived injustice through alternative means and stay above the fray. Let others carry his water and bringing out the facts and making the accusations. Be the guy keeping up the pressure without leaving finger prints. Lynch is a knuckle head that can run. Yes he came from tough circumstances, but he is clearly a sellfish mommas boy that has no consideration for anyone but himself. Sherman just needs to find a way to use others as a mouth piece and take the focus off himself if only to protect himself and keep the agenda of making the league transparent and responsive going. I think a lot of folks would support him even more.
  24. And the Jets let go of their two best corners in Cromartie and Revis. They didn't have patience to wait for Revis knee (over 1 year normally) to heal. Bad GM decision making. Rex wanted him back... but shorted sighted Isik screwed the pooch on that one.
