Prodigy was founded on February 13, 1984, as Trintex, a joint venture between CBS, computer manufacturer IBM, and retailer Sears, Roebuck and Company.
(...I still have a prodigy.net email account, even though it was absorbed by AT&T a long while back)

Freaking awesome.... Let's Go Bills. Gotta think if we have the NFL's leading rusher with our defense we'll be hitting the playoffs this year!

I was looking for but she's just a ditzy blonde comment, Needless to say I was disappointed with your link.

The Dolphins being ranked higher than the Bills is a fallacy. As great as Suh is Dareus might be a hairline less. They don't have anyone that compares to Mario Williams. I mean Wake is good but not at Mario's level. Then who else do they have? Vernon yeah maybe I'm a homer but like Hughes but what they have to compare to Kyle Williams.

If I vote for player for player it's an easy yes but when look at the cap responsibility I'd vote no. Yet it's hard because Tannehill is in a spot now where he either steps up into being the next Eli/Rivers or the next Cutler/Matthew Stafford.
-
Eli Manning is clearly a better player than either two.
I think Eli might be one of the best clutch QBs of the modern era similar to Elway in that sense but to me Elway was the most complete QB ever. Does that make Eli a better QB than his brother? Let the debate begin. Or here's another debate, if the Bills had Warren Moon instead of Kelly in the Super Bowl run teams would they had the same success? Hard to say but part of me says yes as think Thurman Thomas not Kelly was the driver of the K-Gun offense. Also that defense didn't always get the credit it deserved as had we run a safer ball controlled offense I think we could taken at least maybe two of the Super Bowls.
-
Neither of those guys were considered "franchise" but you're right, the Bills didn't even take any 2nd or 3rd round shots at guys.
I wouldn't call Eli Manning a better player than the other two yet why is Eli considered a better?Simple put because of his Super Bowls. Why'd Eli win two Super Bowls? I think because the recently run Giants are a better run "franchise" than the Bengals and/or 49ers.
-
I love the "QB purgatory" line -- which is really where they've been for a long time. Never quite bad enough to get a top prospect. The one year they might have had their guy (Cam Newton) they had to "settle" for Dareus.
That said we could have had Andy Dalton and/or Colin Kaepernick over Aaron Williams. Both have shown they can be average NFL QBs and seems all we need with this defense. Of course the question would be would this defense be as good as it is now without Aaron Williams? Nope but think a Dalton/Kaepernick bring more to the offense then the lost of Williams would contribute to the defense. That said if we had a Dalton or Kaepernick we might not have had the ap space to bring back Hughes and/or add a Harvin/McCoy because of the cap space. Honestly the way the Bills have parlayed this no franchise QB roster is quite good. Will it ever be good enough to win a Super Bowl? Who knows but here's to hoping EJ/Cassel or Tyrod can prove to be another Brad Johnson or Trent Dilfer. If not then we could see Christian Heckenburg the next QB we pony our dreams on next year.

I'm not a Bryce Brown fan but he does offer more than Dixon IMO. I agree that Williams makes Dixon even more expendable because of his ST play, besides Dixon was a FA while we actually traded for Brown. Unless we could trade Brown I would think that just cutting him would take a little shine off of Whaley, nobody likes to admit that they made a mistake. Add in the contracts and if there is any truth to Dixon being considerably more expensive than Brown than I would suspect that it's bye bye Boobie. Also, didn't Roman let Dixon just walk while they were in San Fran? I wonder about that as well, what's up with that??
Roman probably what we saw last year that Boobie will never be a feature back in the NFL (not sure Bryce will be either) and while he does contribute on ST, ST isn't as vital as offense despite what some think here. That said I think Karlos Williams could replace both Boobie and Bryce Brown as he can contribute as RB, on ST and hopefully be the goal line back like he was in college in the NFL.
-
We coulda had Justin Gilbert ! We lose.
if anything could be said good of trading down to get EJ Manuel it means we got McCoy and don't have Tavon Austin.
-
it sure looks like a one sided trade to me too. I just can't figure out why chip traded him for just a 5th. He was solid, reportedly high character,and relatively cheap. So he wanted to play outside and chip wanted him in the slot? Was he going to not show up or refuse to play?doubt it. Seems you would keep him for depth purposes if nothing else. What if the rookie they are going to put in the slot gets hurt? All I can think of is its another personality conflict.
It sounds like it's the Chip Kelly way or the highway. It might work in college but it won't in the NFL long term if he can't start winning and not sure counting on Sam Bradford is going to get him there.

Let's see You don't agree with McCoys statements so therefore they are stupid comments. Understood Even if several other ex players and ex coaches as well as other commentators have said the same thing. But yoor opinion is worth more than theirs Therefore all of their statements are stupid as well.
And somehow bringing Tebow to camp proves what exactly?
And your closing argumnet agrees my very premise ... He wants to win games....but his way and with his players. I agree. I don't think any coach wants to lose games. That would be stupid. But has to be his players and his system ....he wants to prove he is the smartest guy in the room.
This comment reminds me of Jimmy Johnson yet I think he has a better eye for talent than Kelly does.
-
I'm in too. I got caught up last night. Overall I'm not as impressed with the comedians as last year. But Norm is almost making it unwatchable. However Rosanne's ribbing of Norm is funny...
I wish she start ribbing on contestants she seems to love everybody.
-
I thought it was a mistake drafting Cordy Glenn over this guy, I'm glad I was wrong.
-
Too much butt kissing last night and then the one girl Norm didn't like they let go through to the next round. I get this was an invitation round so maybe some of the judges knew the people performing personally and didn't want to be too hard on them. The first guy was pretty good but some of the humor was lost on me like Norm I was at lost on the ashy skin joke. One's that stood out for me were the Church comedian and the girl that mentioned her dad was 70 and she's waiting for her inheritance to roll in.

I can't stand this season, I might end up giving up on the week to week thing and just binge watch it later. Talk about a disappointment, I think it comes down to Vince Vaughn as while I like him in funny roles and respected him in Swingers,, I just can't stand him in this show nor in the remake of Psycho.

After a quick Google search, I found an instruction (EJ) manual that seems made for your situation:
"Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

Tahlequah is awesome! I go there at least once a year for a family canoe trip down the Illinois River. Also nearby is a beautiful lake and, IMO, some of the best scenery in Oklahoma (it is a low benchmark, but nice nonetheless). Small college town with a large Native American population - there are plenty of unusual characters there as well. We are already planning our Labor Day weekend there.
How is something that you have to pay for monthly a human right? Is cable TV a human right too?
If you talked to some of my customers you'd think it was.

I dozed off the first time I tried to watch. It kept my interest the second time. One scene had me cracking up pretty good.
Farrell's character to McAdams':
"Just so you know, I support feminism. Mostly by having body-image issues."
I'm glad to read I'm not the only one who's fallen asleep this season. Granted I jumped into S1 and watched them all in less than a week but the first 2 episodes of S2 been snooze fests. I can't say I really like or side with Vaughn or Ferrell's characters yet. McAdams is okay but it just seems like there are too many story lines going on. As S1 was good because it was focused primarily on MM and Woody both in their jobs and partially their home lives. This season just seems to go everywhere with these characters. I'm waiting to see one of them take a dump in the coming weeks and I'll probably not care about missing it. I hope it gets better as thus far I give the season a D.
-
Nope. It's an anthology series. Completely different characters this season. You souks definitely watch season 1 when you get the chance though.
I'm 2.5 episodes into S1 and see why this show got all the pub. McConaughey has been brilliant and Woody is doing well think MM is at a whole other level.
On a side note, Ballers was absolutely unwatchable and the Brink was far from impressive (although I may give that on another episode or two, but Ballers, done already). Ballers is basically trying to replicate Entourage with a sports scene in stead of the Hollywood scene but without characters like Drama, Ari, and Turtle it just is not even coming close.
Yeah I watched Ballers and it's Entourage light, if it wasn't for the TnA I probably won't go back to it.

As a Customer Service Rep a lot also has to do with the position of the head set and honestly they aren't too comfortable to wear or maybe we adjusted it because the call we got just before yours was of someone screaming in our ear so we adjusted our volume so we wouldn't kill our ear drums and didn't have a chance to re calibrate our phone tool. Or prehaps you caught us on a day that we're forced to move to another cube and we failed to re calibrate and maybe now in an area with more co-workers and the caller ends up hearing more background noise. The software may play a part too as back in the day when I started over a decade plus ago we used have our headsets hardwired to a phone now it's all done through software. Toss in I admit I don't take good care of the headset as I usually just toss it in my top draw after my shift is over instead of boxing etc. There are a lot of factors that can lead to poor voice quality heck it might just be the rep you have is soft spoken too which doesn't always make for good voice quality on a headset too.

Yeah. It's one of those things where he's funnier because he's used perfectly and sparingly, and it makes you wish there was more. If there was more though, it would be over saturation. Talk about a Sophie's Choice.
Yeah just don't look at the board where we list the positives and negatives we made at letting you die.

I plan on it.

True Detective begins tonight. I don't think it can be as good as season one (how could it be), but I still think it should be good. I'm hoping my lowered expectations will have a positive effect. It'll be nice to see Vince Vaughn not have to play a Vince Vaughn character for the first time in a long time.
Starts tonight at 9pm ET.
I didn't watch S1 but I could with HBOGo, do I have to watch S1 before diving into S2?

Also some subtle ad placement as one of the things you could buy were "Black and Decker tools" and we all know who owned them....
