  1. There were cheers when Dockery and Walker were signed. Now they are the "prime" examples of how the Bills have to overpay to acquire free agents. If the Bills do sign Clabo, he better perform at an all-pro level. Anything less and the bitching on this board will be how the Bills overspent to acquire him, proving yet again how Ralph's "cheap" and the FO is out of touch with today's NFL.
  2. In case you missed it: We sign a free agent: "We overpaid. No one else wanted him. I saw him play once and I thought he sucked. I swear I'm done with this team!" Or is it more likely you mean "player(s) you wanted" when you say " make some splashes in free agency"?
  3. Jasper was the 42nd pick in the 7th round. Just a wild guess, but if BB and/or Rex wanted him, they would have drafted him, even in the 7th round.
  4. Actually, moving training camp onto Canadian soil may be a great idea, along with all pre-season "home" games. Then they can move the regular season and playoff home games back to the Ralph where they belong.
  5. Seems like the mindset of the Aggies has begun to change. They have realized the current Big 12-2 deal is not doing them any favors. Winds of Change Blowing Again? If we are to believe his "sources": Clemson? Clemson?!!! Ugh. Just what the SEC needs, another limp wristed "Tiger".
  6. I guess the $cam Newton investigation isn't done after all. 'Ole Cheez-It thought he was going to be able to pressure the NCAA in to declaring the investigation was over, but instead, got his azz handed to him. My link
  7. Bama vs. the Hokies once again. My link
  8. You are. From the article itself: Willing to spend money on free agents and current players = cheap. What kind of fugged up logic is that?

  10. Don't be so quick to discount. That "technicality" holds a lot of power, and it's the reason the disgruntled followers of numerous schools are beginning to wish their school would tell the NCAA to go !@#$ itself. From a football standpoint, just imagine if all the schools in the Big 10(+2) and the SEC pulled out of the NCAA. The fallout would be nasty. And since the NCAA has no control over the BCS, the bowls would not be impacted. Hence, why there is a growing sentiment of distrust regarding the NCAA.
  11. That's right. Nope. Feel free in finding the law that states schools and universities MUST participate in the NCAA. Good luck in finding it. Did you know every school in the SEC, except for Kentucky, has a hockey team? Don't believe me? Try this link: Linky Further, did you know these hockey teams do NOT participate in the NCAA? The association controlling these teams is the ACHA
  12. Not always. Actually, that's a capitalists dream. Make millions while paying out pittance. Are you serious? That is the new America. The workforce has little to no "rights". Super models get paid millions because they are hot AND society deems that a premium.
  13. When the student athlete decided which school he would attend. As long as the university they are attending chooses to follow the NCAA regarding athletics, then yes. Otherwise, no. There are numerous athletic associations regarding college athletics. The NCAA just happens to be the largest and most well known.
  14. Linky While the site itself is geared towards women, there is work from home opportunities and suggestions(for men and women) posted on her site. These are legit opportunities as she has been featured on GMA numerous times.
  15. I stand corrected. I thought I read the Pryor 3 day out of state test drive took place while he was still being recruited.
  16. Exactly. Atlanta Sports Market
  17. Looks like they have been sold. Moving to Winnipeg. My link Hockey in Atlanta is like the NFL in LA. Just give it up already.
  18. This ... ... is contradicted by this ... I wish when I went and bought a car, my invoice bill would say 0 (zero). Or that I could take a 3 day test drive ... out of state.
  19. And one hell of a cast.
  20. The University of Central Florida (UCF) plays in Conference USA. The University of South Florida (USF) plays in the Big East.
  21. Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" If it wasn't for the video, this tune would have been just another flavor of the month pop song that came and went.
  22. Fixed it. New team will be the Toronto Bison. Doubt it? Is this fate tipping its hand? Bison Steve Christie signed by a Toronto team
  23. I distinctly remember a thread started by a "TSW expert" last year who was pissed off by the "media experts" predicting the Bills would be terrible. The thread was their way of holding those "media experts" accountable for how wrong they were going to be. I am going to assume to you know who was right and who was wrong when the season ended.
  24. Agreed. IMHO, any deal that would move the Bills (or any NFL team for that matter) to Toronto would include a clause for a new stadium. The Rogers Centre is just too small for the NFL in both overall seating capacity and the number of luxury boxes. It's also over 20 years old. As for the guy who said they would support the team if it was "theirs": the Argos are averaging less than 30K per game. If that's what the NFL can expect, I do not see the NFL being in a big hurry to put a team there. The LA market can put more people in the seats.
  25. Big whoop. I love how hockey fans spout this fact as some sort of real accomplishment. The NHL has 15 teams in each conference. 8 of those teams make the playoffs every year. That's more than 50%. Over half of the league makes the playoffs. The NHL plays 82 games a year, and its not uncommon to see teams with 40 and below in the win column make the playoffs. Just last year, both Montreal and Boston made the playoffs winning only 39 games. And Dick Jauron was a well respected coach in the NFL. How many NFL experts/broadcasters thought Ralph was senile when spoke out against the last CBA? Again, let me know when they get there. To steal a Nix comment, don't tell me about the labor, show me the baby.
