cliff notes version... "The bottomline looks like to me that Youbouty is far more likely to be our #2 CB anyway than any rookie we could get in the 1st round would be."

In a runaway at the ballot box...tbone, njsue & bf. For some reason they excelled at making themselves easy targets. In the runner up category...I'd nominate ICE & SL. If people only realized that it was just a message board, they would've appreciated the contributions of these two. Repeat after me...IT'S ONLY A MESSAGE BOARD, IT'S ONLY A MESSAGE BOARD...

This is a great one and if I may add... The lotto addicts who get their tickets and then continue to tie up the cashier by checking that all of the tickets you gave them are correct. :w00t:

The good news is that Tim Anderson did so well on this test that the Bills pissed away a 3rd round pick on him. So much for the validity of that test. Krumrie is a joke!

Paula Abdul...You say you don't drink or do drugs, but how do you explain your AI behavior TO...assclown People who don't know how to navigate 4 way stops aka "the wavers" Yankee fans People who don't know when something has jumped the shark. A great example is the Tedy Bruschi crap. Give it a rest and come up with something original. People who work in customer service positions, but don't know the first thing about customer service(or don't care). People who go on vacation and feel that they can do whatever they want because DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS IS COSTING ME. Yeah...dickhead, the same amount as everyone else here. People who insist on running into an elevator without first letting others out. I hate rude f***ers. Meryl Streep...I can't believe there would be a worse way to torture me, than to make me sit through one of her movies. All politicians Ralph Wilson...STFU. I'm sick of your incoherent ramblings. Bad parents. You really should have thought twice about having kids. Preservationists...You just don't know the difference between a historic bldg. and a bldg. that is just OLD. Being built a 100 years ago doesn't mean that it is worthy of saving. Mike Shoop & Jeremy White My neighbor who puts his house on the market once a year to see if he can find someone who will pay his ridiculous asking price and then when it doesn't happen, take the house off the market. Either stay or move, but cut the crap. I'm done for now!

Where are you hearing this?

Maybe Brown's agent heard how they gave Kelsay more then he was asking for and decided to try that same ploy. :flirt:

Go Niagara. They are in the "play in" game!!!!

Where did you hear this nonsense?

Agreed.

Okay...Help me out. What's the comparison between WM and Bruce? Yes they were both problem children, but on the field there was no comparison. Even early on(first 3 years of his career) Bruce was a dominant player, where WM has never risen above mediocre.

I couldn't care less what WM said as a Bill or what he says as a Raven. The only thing that matters is that he was a very mediocre RB for the Bills who seemed to get worse not better in his 3 years on the field. Nobody really knows what was going on behind the scenes, but it was clear that he wore out his welcome at OBD. In that regard, two 3rd's and a 7th is a job well done by Marv. Good riddance.

The amount of money being handed to high draft picks is a joke. Why is so much being turned over to unproven commodities when many proven players who have been in the NFL for 5+ years will never approach those same amounts. Look at the amount of money thrown at Mike Williams. In todays Buffalo News, I read that Donte Whitner is due a 8+ million dollar bonus. This insanity has to stop. Pay the proven players the money they deserve and let the rookies show what they've got before dumping the wheelbarrows of cash in their laps. I'm not saying they should be signed for the league minimum upon being drafted, but the huge contracts they are being signed to is way out of wack.

I have to get back on the AI bandwagon. I watched all the tryout shows, none of the Hollywood week shows and about 5 minutes since then. No Taylor Hicks type singers = boring competition. I have to make a point to watch it next Tuesday.

I've said this from the very beginning when Howard moved to mornings at WGR. Last time I looked it was the "Howard Simon Show". More Howard and ONLY turn on Jeremy's mike when he is doing 20/20 sports updates.

How do you know that his replacement(FA or draft) will not be better. After all, the guy did not set the world on fire last year. We are talking about finding a replacement fot WM not LaDanian Tomlinson or Larry Johnson.

The first part of this quote from Ozzie also made me laugh... "This is a runner who can make people miss [tackles] and has the explosion and speed to take it the distance,"

I was talking about the board in general, but if you want to take it personally, go right ahead.

Amen.

I'm sick of Briggs trade proposals(and usually bad ones at that). Where has it been stated that Chicago is actively shopping him. All that was said, is that Briggs is unhappy that they tagged him. Whoop de friggin do! He's not the first player to be UNFAIRLY slapped with the tag and he won't be the last. PS Note to all these geniuses. If you don't like being tagged, complain to your union leadership who keep agreeing to it as part of a new CBA.

What are the Bears going to do with WM? The reason they probably traded Jones is that they feel Benson is ready to handle the job full-time.

I didn't say I wasn't happy. I said I was skeptical. I'm GLAD that they seem to be addressing the OL and with the length of contract they gave these guys, I would hope that they are more of a solution than past years acquisitions. All I know is that they gave a lot of money to 2 guys whose names don't seem a lot different from Bennie Anderson, Mike Gandy, Chris Villarrial, Tutan Reyes, etc...

Why should I be anything but skeptical? Just because we threw millions of dollars at them means they will be good?

While the $$$ spent makes me want to believe that there will be a significant improvement in the OL play, I will reserve judgement until the season starts.
