  1. It drives me crazy when people enter a thread to post about how dumb it is. What was it about the topic that made you think "Gosh I really hate StarWars, I hate it so much I'm going to spend my time reading the post and replying!" It's people like you that call up CNN and spend $1.99 a call to vote "undecided."

    This is nothing - did you see the thread about how it was such a huge relief that the show "Joey" wasn't a letdown? Some threads are just askin' for it...

  2. I took the liberty of boldfacing the most hilarious line...

    'ZONA DUMPS ON DONAHOE

     

     

     

    As a follow-up to our story from earlier on Tuesday regarding some harsh opinions as to Bills G.M. Tom Donahoe, we're now hearing that the Arizona Cardinals are unhappy with the manner in which Donahoe has handled the potential trade of tailback Travis Henry.

     

     

     

    Per a league source, Donahoe "totally screwed up the deal." Apparently, Arizona was offering tackle L.J. Shelton and a flip-flop of second-round picks. During those discussions, Donahoe "was swearing up and down that he had offers from . . . Philadelphia and Tampa Bay . . . for straight third-round picks."

     

     

     

    So "the Cardinals called [Donahoe's] bluff and both the Bucs and Eagles took [running backs] in the draft."

     

     

     

    Per the source, Donahoe "lost all credibility with [the Cardinals] when he pulled that crap. He never once said he didn't like [shelton], he just said he had better offers."

     

     

     

    Since the draft, Donahoe has suggested that the Bills never wanted Shelton.

     

     

     

    As a result, the Cardinals were chuckling when Donahoe was left holding the bag, and the source says that we can now add one more organization "to the list of teams that know [Donahoe] is full of sh-t."

  3. First off, what is a Cardinals fan?

     

    Second, Clement is a pure right tackle. Actually, that's not true - he's more likely a guard who has played right tackle (sound familiar?) He cannot, I repeat, CANNOT play left tackle. If I had to guess, I wouldn't be surprised if he's wearing a Jets uni when the season starts.

  4. All of us local to the Albany region already know this kid's story, but I dont have to tell you that.  I was hoping the Bills would pick him up...if he's a McNally disciple, he might kick around for awhile.

    What have you all heard about him? All I know is that they wanted him, but I don't know much about him...

  5. I think we need a better replacement for the sarcasm smiley.

     

    This draft was all about drafting for need.  It was damning to see the team ranking son ESPN - Defense #2 Offense #25.  Thus, 5 players drafted on the scoring side of the ball.

    Whoops. Sorry man, thought you were throwing your hat into the ring with DeeRay-JoeSixPack-ICE... too much cynicism on this Board. Glad we're in agreement!

  6. First of all, Clayton looks like the fuggin' Tweetie Bird.

     

    Second of all, what this proves is that RBs have no value. Look at the Vikings' situation. They're gonna eventually lose Michael Bennett and probably Ontario Smith and get nothing in return. Same with the Colts and Edge, and the 'Hawks and Alexander. RBs are overvalued.

     

    You know who the real idiot is here? It's Al fuggin Davis. He paid Lamont Jordan $25 mil when he could've gotten a quality back for peanuts in this draft. Layoff TD. I'd rather have a proven back with a chip on his shoulder in his contract year backing up McGahee then some untested rook anyhow.

  7. I disagree, GG. My first reaction to yesterday's picks was the same as yours, however, upon reflection I do think ALL of our picks were about filling needs. Yesterdays picks filled a key NEED on offense - we NEEDED to bolster our 3rd down efficiency on offense. We NEEDED to shore up the middle of our offense, esp. with a young QB - he needs options in front of his eyes right when he drops back, and it's been YEARS since we've had a quality slot receiver or tight end. And, as I said yesterday, if you want a playmaking slot receiver who runs a 4.3 40 and has produced at a big-time program, you need to grab him on Day 1. Same with a super-athletic tight end from the same quality program. These WERE needs, and we took them when we had to.

     

    Today's picks were also about NEEDS - but again, you can fill up the trenches on Day 2.
