Well in this instance I'm not convinced there is an identifiable "swing judge" but either way I can't argue that it's not perfectly reasonable to argue today didn't go well. As for the mandate being a Republican idea, that has nothing to do with the legal question it just to me is funny given the way political people are acting now.

While today was a brutal and brutal from the very first question, it's absolutely INSANE to put any real stock in where the judge's are going based on their questioning. They use it to play devil's advocate to their own opinion, to communicate with each other, and yes often to just answer a question they too are wondering...but the bottom line is if you listen to SC oral arguments over time you know that it's dangerous to assume anything b/c of them. Also I love how some people in this thread say things like "obviously unconstitutional" and "oh just gave libs the next great idea." Ya...the mandate was a Republican idea first and foremost. And a huge portion of lawmakers passed the bill, and thus thought it would be constitutional. Also, I'd like to point out that if I were a justice and I was dead set to uphold the mandate...the questions I would ask would all center around "what limit" does the commerce clause have if any b/c in writing my opinion I'd be hard pressed not to include SOME dicta in there speaking to that point. So that's one example of how questioning isn't what it may seem. A justice asking a question is not a justice implying they disagree with what they are questioning.

We need to trade this guy before his value is 0 b/c there isn't a spot on this team for him.

Smith won't throw it based on what I've seen so there's only one answer.

Could be wrong but if I recall correctly Thigpen is in the 2nd year of a 3 year deal where he's making fairly substantial money as a back up. I think he's our guy for this year at least. If Fitzy struggles or is hurt the entire project we're building for is screwed.

This topic has turned into the argument for moving down if at all possible this year. Get it done Buddy. Resign Bell, and move down/get more picks and take BPA to add depth and maybe even strike gold.

Taking goal posts down and generally storming field/court is not really something that happens in pro-sports anymore. Although if we did it the national media would just talk about how great Buffalo is and how it's like a college atmosphere for pro-football so it could be worth it. That said, I wouldn't want to be involved.

That's what the insiders call a "flawless offseason."

Suggested steps for Saints franchise: 1) Trade Brees (and anyone else you can) for unGodly amounts of picks to recoup the ability to build 2) In doing so and also w/ coaching frenzy expect to tank, and tank hard revealing New Orleans wont' go to games unless the team is real good 3) Sneak out of garbage heap that is New Orleans and settle in a new cozy stadium in LA 4) Rebuild to a patient and ecstatic fan base that just got a team back, in a town FA's will want to come to 5) Profit from all this. Help Bills stay in WNY along the way.

This is fantastic news for the Bills

Poor Buffalo and its acknowledged inferiority complex.

No higher than 32 until I see it.

Can't bring myself to watch post-Carolla

Also while it seems crazy if nobody offers him anything we should throw pennies at Roscoe and take him back. At some point he has to string a full year together.

Incoming OT at pick 10. Hagen/Jones/Easley battle in camp

We need us some offensive line dog gammit!

Sanchez is about even with Fitz and we'll all realize that by the end of the season. Sanchez a little better than he's been, Fitz much worse.

LOL c'mon man w/ your #s. It doesn't matter. We NEED another receiving option. Put whatever numbers you want by whomever it doesn't matter the point is we'll suck if we don't have another guy that is really wanting the ball @ WR

Man that's what I've been saying is we needed an OT or WR in FA before the draft for exactly this reason. Gun to my head we need a WR more. By any means necessary we MUST have a WR opposite Stevie or the offense will suck this year (I said it). It will flat out suck.

Absolutely you would draft him 1st and pay him that money. Thing is (regarding us anyway) It think I read we have about 13M left this year now? We have to sign our picks (idk how much that costs) so we only have so much cash left. We would have to do some heavy cutting to afford him at 10M + a year

Yup. We could never come out on top of that.

We must acquire this man

Rich get richer this pisses me off. We need Lloyd
