Cynical

Can't really have it both ways Dick. Either have Trent become more "aggressive" and deal with the mistakes as they happen, or continue to emphasize "playing it safe" and limiting those mistakes.

"It's hard to root for a winner."

The only people that are ignorant are the people who believe that a coaching change will result in the team losing. The following coaches would like to disagree: Smith - Falcons Whisenhut - Cardinals Harbaugh - Ravens Billick - Ravens Switzer - Cowboys Holmgren - Packers Sherman - Packers Dungy - Colts Schottenheimer - Chiefs Sparano - Dolphins Shula - Dolphins BB - Pats* Madden - Raiders Cowher - Steelers Seifert - 49ers Gibbs (1) - Redskins

I agree, especially when they continually back a proven loser of a head coach, and expect nothing more than mediocrity.

I already tried that approach with him. He still doesn't get it. I even brought up coaches like Parcells, Reeves, Shula, and Holmgren (coaches that to the SB with different teams) I mentioned coaches like Gibbs and Cowher (made the SB multiple times with the same team, but different QB) I even mentioned the Ravens and Dilfer. He even came up with an excuse regarding Shanahan (according to him, Shanahan has the ability to get more out of players like Cutler) Like a typical apologist, he has an excuse for every example. I always wondered. How many exceptions to a rule must there be before it becomes obvious the rule is the exception and the exceptions are the rule? 1 winning season out of 8. Which is the exception, and which is the rule?

Those records are accounting records. I am talking about "Articles of Incorporation", notices for shareholder and director meetings, minutes of the shareholders and directors meetings, loan papers, stock certificates issued and to whom, etc ... Yeah, these are boring and somewhat tedious to keep, but can be the difference when the IRS or some lawyer comes snooping around. I use this book: Linky. The writer does a great job of informing you what to record and what to keep. The book even comes with templates for all the documents you will need.

What corporate entity to pick is a pretty broad question with no right or wrong answer. IIRC, from an asset protection/liability standpoint, the C corporation is the best. From a tax and legal POV, the corporation is considered a separate entity, and what ever happens within the corporation, stays in the corporation. From a shareholders POV, any money the C corp is essentially taxed twice. The C corp has to pay quarterly taxes on its profits, and then the shareholders have to pay taxes on the same money IF they take it out as a salary or as dividends. From a record keeping POV, this type can be time consuming, both accounting and corporate records will be required. Big thing to keep in mind, while salaries will be required (and the associated payroll taxes will need to paid), the C corp can choose NOT to distribute dividends to the shareholders. There are no size limitations to a C corp. S-corps are similar to C corps, but with some differences. Both accounting and corporate record keeping will be required to maintain the separation of corporate business from the shareholders. From a tax standpoint, any profits at the end of the year are automatically distributed to the shareholders as dividends (minus any profit money taken out as a salary). Dividends are considered a "passive" income, and are subjected to income tax only. Also, due note, the IRS can decide at any time to stop recognizing the S corp. This should not be a problem as long as you play be the "rules". There are also ownership limitations with this type (how many, etc ..) Shareholders in S and C corps can sell their shares at anytime to anybody. Thus it is quite possible for somebody to want out, and they sell their shares to first person that offers reasonable money. In the end, the rest of the shareholders are stuck dealing with somebody they do not know, and possibly worse, has their own ideas on where the company should go. Both C corps and S corps are "federal" corporations. LLC's are something different. These are state creations, and are not recognized by the IRS for tax purposes. All profits earned by the LLC are distributed to the members as self employment income (unless it's a passive income stream like rental housing). This means all income is subjected to self employment taxes (you get to pay the medicare and SS payments on your 1040). This end of the year sticker shock can be avoided by making quarterly payments to the IRS. Also, I have talked a few lawyers, and most agree this is the easiest corp entity to pierce from a liability standpoint. This mainly due to the less restrictive record keeping requirements, and that has a tendency to expose the members. If you choose this type, treat it like a C / S corp, and maintain the required corporate records.

Good God. I remember reading that as a kid. My great grandparents had a subscription.

How about payphones in general?

1. If you are going to get testy with people because they did not view the material you wanted them to see, it might help if you post a LINK to said material. 2. IIRC, that video was already discussed about during the 2008 season.

Simple. ROLL TIDE ROLL! Best part will be never having to worry again about my favorite team moving.

Anything dealing with "nasty" "Player X is nasty ..." "We need to get nasty up front ..." "Our defense is going to be so sick and nasty ..." "If we got more players like him, our line would be mean and nasty ..."

Especially red neck hicks running around screaming "War Damn Eagle". Sounds like a bunch of uneducated buffoons who support a second rate collegiate athletic team. "Just Sayin"

If that's what you were "implying", then do not blame my "limited reading comprehension abilities" when the problem is actually your poor writing skills. Feel free to point out in your post where you "implied" Tebow should be used in a "Wild cat". As soon as you learn how to write, it will not be a problem. The Bills had the second, let me repeat that ... SECOND easiest schedule in the NFL last year. I'm sorry, but I'll disagree that "talent" was the main problem last year. The biggest problem last year was coaching. Fine. You can believe what you want regarding system implementation. I choose to believe people like Brian Urlacher. But then again, you are the person who believes Tebow would "revolutionize" the game running a Wild cat type offense at the NFL level. Apparently you did not get the memo. The Wild Cat is nothing more than the single wing option offense, which has been around for decades. What's next? Using the Veer and the Wishbone?

What the hell do you think Tebow is/was? Tebow has been playing the same kind of offense since high school. Yet, according to you: Sam Bradford plays in a spread offense = overrated and bad Tim Tebow plays in spread offense = "set of skills that could revolutionize the game" Oh, the irony ... Actually, it only takes 2-3 years (at least from everything I read, and that includes coaches and players saying it). 1st off season/year - base packages are installed 2nd off season/year - sub-packages are installed 3rd off season/year - for some schemes, the remaining sub packages. However, from year 3 on, it's all about "tweaking/adjusting/modifying" the current systems. In other words, we all saw Jauron's system in it's full glory last year.

And gave up a 4.3 ypc average.

"Because the Razorbacks now have a starting quarterback in Ryan Mallett, a 6-7 University of Michigan transfer that Williams said was timed one day with a radar gun throwing a football 115 miles per hour, there's the thought that the Hogs now have the ability to go deep more often." 115 mph? Really? If true, that kid needs to play MLB. Linky

The 250 limit is not just download. It's ALL bandwidth, upload and download. Side note: how long have you had their service?

My understanding is most major ISPs have/had some kind of cap limits. Comcast came under the most fire because of their customer service regarding the limits. The actual bandwidth limits were never published in their TOS (they just referenced "excessive use"), the limits were not imposed with any consistency (it depended on what node the customer was attached to), and they way Comcast notified the customer was through snail mail. Letters were received as late as the 20th day of the month (but the letter was effective the first day) making any attempt to correct the problem worthless (by the time the customer received the letter, they were already over the limit for that month, thus causing Comcast to suspend the customers account). Even if the customer called tech support after receiving the letter and asked for the bandwidth limit amount, Comcast still would still refuse to reveal it, citing "excessive use" and referencing the TOS. It was only in the past year Comcast published the limits, and they are being imposed with consistency.

Wireless not secured? You might as well had a sign on your front lawn saying "Free Internet Access". First things first: secure your wireless access. Doing something with the router is the simplest and easiest way. What is the make and model of your router? Some of the newer ones have a built in bandwidth monitor of some kind. Unfortunately, the ones that do are not very informative (usually). Check your routers manual to verify if and what may be available to you. Even if you make and model does not have any kind of monitor (or its crappy), check out http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices. See if your make and model are listed and can be updated. If so, you can re-flash the router firmware using dd-wrt software (This assumes you have the technical ability to do so). For most devices, the dd-wrt firmware flash will add a total bandwidth monitor, both incoming and outgoing. However, even with DD-wrt, you still will not be able to monitor per user consumption. There are other options besides using something via the router. However, those options are pretty complex.

DC Tom. Who could forget this: I think he purposefully crashed it in attempt to kill that thread, and be declared the winner.

Yell it? Hell, make a banner, and hang it over the wall. Time to light a fire under this teams azz.

Absolutely. If the Bills had some semblance of a coaching staff besides "The Dick", not only would I be drinking the kool aid, I would be making it by the gallons.

I do not really have an opinion one way or another regarding Walker's statement (or non statement, as the reporters attempted to paraphrase what Walker said/meant), but .... assuming Graham is correct, and Walker is only attempting to temper expectations, then the first question that should pop into one's head is: Why? 1. Are expectations unrealistically high that even the best would struggle to meet them? If so, then the fans need to take a pill, breathe into a paper sack, and stop hyperventilating. 2. Or, are expectations realistic, but he feels he may struggle to reach them? If so, then fans have a reason to be concerned. Someone needs to find out exactly what Walker meant. Good luck if they can.

Question: Didn't the Bills try to resign Greer before he hit free agency? Answer: Yep. Linky I guess Capt. Caveman did not get the memo. The Bills wanted to keep Greer.
