He also needs every Heisman Trophy "Weekend" off (to be on the stage)

It's midnight on the East Coast - nothing much (NFL) is happening now Tomorrow is another day

"But, the point isn't money and wealth (just thought I throw it in there)... It is hope and perception amongst the forlorn populace (in a western sense that is)." The "fax" machine defeated the Soviet bloc as surely as anything else did and almost got "Red China". The have-nots that CAN be aware they are not deprived by their position in life but by their governments slowly make progress. "Big order to fill... Hearts and minds... Where did I hear that before?" You don't have to win their hearts and minds - just give them a reason outside of abject socialism/slavery to better themselves - it happens all the time. People will always look out for themselves and their families first and then their prosperity goes to others. It's fundamental human behavior. Hell, the American Revolution took fifteen years until the Constitutional Convention. Then, American (real) independence was a damn close thing until after the War of 1812. The whole "Republic" thing wasn't settles for another 53 years and even then foreign governments were meddling in our affairs. The idea that the US can build something in Iraq/Pan-Asia in five years or less is sheer lunacy - the native people on the ground will decide and prosperity is the way. Stupid - single minded insurgents only live on chaos - they are humanity's cockroaches and deserve their fate As bad as our "illegal;" immigrant problem is - what drives it ? Basically a totally corrupt Mexican government based on a pyramid of 99% of the populace ruled by 1% - so don't pick on the US there - except for 40+ years of US elected government that has allowed the situation to continue and worsen. From A Work of Fiction: Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Stover "Jedi do not not fight for peace. That's only a slogan and is misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilzation, because only civilization creates peace." Mace Windu

http://www.defenddemocracy.org/in_the_medi...m?doc_id=360464 "Asymmetrical warfare would be less effective if suicide-bombing women and children, decapitating aid workers and using civilians as shields evoked widespread public outrage and revulsion, if it brought shame and disrespect upon those who committed such acts and on the causes they claim to champion. But, on the contrary, the trend has been to legitimize the tactics used against the West and indulge those employing them. Mass murdering civilians, torching churches and even mosques do not spark major protests anywhere. Nor has there been serious action in response from the United Nations, the international courts and prominent human rights organizations." and then consider "All this is happening at a time when there is a very real possibility of chemical, biological or even nuclear weapons coming into the possession of militants who believe, as al-Qaeda in Iraq commander Abu Musab al-Zarqawi put it, that “Killing the infidels is our religion, slaughtering them is our religion, until they convert to Islam or pay us tribute."

Raiders #1 for Culpepper

San Diego radio is reporting a 5-year, $40 Mil deal being proffered at 12:01 AM. Brees alledgedly asked the owner, Mr. Spanos to interecede with AJ Smith, and the owner declined.

Hell, he was installed to stop Big "TED" way back when - so let's just bring him too !

The locks are 24.4 metres wide - barely 80 feet wide

Exhibit # 1 - Clements 22 http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showt...67entry618667

It means that someone on this forum will say "Should the Bills sign Kerry Collins?"

Mission Valley "scuttlebutt" - San Diego was eliminated with one game to play. Adams wanted Rivers to start the "meaningless" game against the (already) Divison champ Broncos. Marty S. wanted Brees to continue (?) Brees gets hurt (badly) and Rivers looks like crap against the horsies after getting very liitle regular season playing time because the Chargers were in so many close games (alright - not Lance Alworth Day). SNAFU all around

Cut deadline is 10 PM (EST) and FA starts at 12:01 AM (pending) Read about it tomorrow -

http://www.footballfoundation.com/news.php?id=754 One of the three Buffalo Bills' "strike" QB's 13 for 33- 155 yards, 2 picks, 0 TD's in 2 games

San Diego has made Drew Brees an offer - just not a "Franchise Player" offer. His medical status is to be determined - by any interested team - there are varied reports about his recovery out here. The Chargers painted themselves into an almost "Flutie-RJ corner" when they drafted Rivers while still holding the (up to then) disappointing Brees. Rivers probably hurt himself most by his hold-out allowing Brees to "blossom" and giving the Chargers an improbable choice (to be resolved in the future)

Please review the MLBB, NHL & NBA situations of the past - when there was "plenty of time" to get a deal done Only the NBA ducked the bullet Have we so quickly forgotten 1987 ? From "Relentless" March 21, 1987 "Jack Donlan, the chief negotiatot for the Management Council, predicted trouble if the NFLPA insisted on a unfettered free agency in the upcoming collective bargaining talks. The CBA was due to expire August 31st." Have we forgotten Willie Totten ?

Maybe - IN your neighborhood

So - cities won't have to bid anymore on the SB ? Just respond to the NFL's blackmail ? Let's see - carrot or stick ?

Seeing as the SB is only already scheduled up to ONLY 2010 - how did they jump ahead to 2015 ? http://www.superbowl.com/features/futuresites
