  1. Cut deadline is 10 PM (EST) and FA starts at 12:01 AM (pending) Read about it tomorrow -
  2. 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
  3. 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)
  4. 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 ?
  5. Maybe - IN your neighborhood
  6. So - cities won't have to bid anymore on the SB ? Just respond to the NFL's blackmail ? Let's see - carrot or stick ?
  7. 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
  8. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/2...-1m5pandas.html
  9. You cheating on me ?
  10. My first paying job was at the corner drug store which had a phone booth inside the store - rotary and the local call was a nickel http://buffalonews.com/editorial/20060305/1030418.asp
  11. Pat L. was the last player to "score" the closing night at the Aud. The audience is still waiting for #11 to appear instead
  12. Cunningham will serve his sentence at a low security facility in Taft, CA. http://reason.org/commentaries/segal_20051130.shtml Here's some more psychiatric mumbo-jumbo - about a crook http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2006/03/05...45_503_4_06.txt
  13. The NHL is a sham - much like the NBA - you either enforce the rules or not If you want an evening of "just" entertainment - than it works
  14. I feel like I am watching another great American sports institution just fall apart. First - Baseball - Millionaires go on strike Second - Basketball - Ultra Millionaires go on strike (after ignoring the basic rules of the game) Third - Hockey - barely millionaires And now - The NFL - the epitome of revenue sharing and fairness plus parity - is going to try very hard to kill the Golden Goose Greed - One of the 7 Deadly I hear someone fiddling ?
  15. It just keeps getting worse The Bills are spiralling like a maple seed twirler. Is anyone at the wheel ?? Now I know how Raider fans must feel
  16. The Chargers are roughly $20 Mil under the cap and have made Brees a contract offer - but will not designate him as a Franchise player. His rehab is progressing - but no one is coming out to say he will be the same. There is no definitive reason to label Rivers as a bust - he simply hasn't played enough. The Chargers said today they were not intrested in Ty Law or Charles Woodson. Their secondary remains suspect despite investing in it heavily via the draft.
  17. Don't skip "The Harp" !
  18. The "custom" helmet by Ms. Lori makes me look taller The were rave reviews for the headgear at the 2005 tilt in Mission Valley even from the San Diego faithful who had longer memories than 2002.
  19. The Corsica is being replaced soon - the front seat is well "broken" in Damn fine American vehicle - gave its' 10 years of service (to me) The car will live on - gone to "Operation Homefront" shortly http://www.operationhomefront.net/sandiego/ Living (basically) next to Camp Pendleton and seeing what the fine young Marine & Navy families (younger than my daughter- now) don't have http://www.homefrontsandiego.org/aboutus.htm
  20. You think anyone would notice - if there wasn't a airhead with a video camera present ? Verrrry Interesssssting !
  21. Next Up : American Presidents (pick one) Speak Out On Marital Fidelity
  22. Before hockey "men" wore helmets Gordie Howe was mentioned - deserved honor And then there was this guy - Brad Park http://www.nhlalumni.com/slam/hockey/nhlal...ews/020614.html Tim Horton was old when the Sabres got him - but he still never flinched The old guys only fought when necessary - not on a whim
  23. Haunt second hand book shops - for a hard to find (now) - E-bay maybe ? "A Spin of the Wheel" (i don't remember the author) I wish I had bought the 30 odd copies at a clearence store ($1 a piece) so many years ago. Every copy I had - was loaned - and gone Great story of the birth of the Sabres and the timeline involved
  24. Here's the problem with that statement - It is NOT the fact the Americans won't do that work - they won't do the work for the labor rate that the immigrants will do it for - thereby undercutting the local labor market. If you can find work at $5 a day in some unamed foreign land south of Texas - you are considered well off - but there are too many workers and a corrupt, incompetent government, south of Arizona that doesn't give two goat turds about its' populace that doesn't have enough money to bribe them. So, to keep the natives moving - show them the promised land and give them a road map there - oh - and by the way - send some Yankee $$ back to an unamed land south of New Mexico. Billions ($$$$) flow back from immigrant workers who undercut the local labor market to an unamed land south of California and that is enough to keep the corrupt politicians afloat. So - the REAL culprit is a American policy that 1. Doesn't know how to build a fence 2. Doesn't prosecute American employers who hire (and exploit) illegal workers 3. Kisses ass of corrupt amigos from an unamed land that doesn't border Iowa If you follow the local drift - public indignation is starting to rise - but it's too late. This is a case of "Bush Bad" but add Clinton, Bush Sr., Carter, Reagan and any assorted politico for the last 50 years It must be a problem now - because Diane Feinstein (CA) just introduced a bill to make it illegal to tunnel into the United States. Katie - Bar The Door !
  25. So, when a "neighbor" starts doing auto repairs in his yard - you're cool with that ? There was a immigrant (no habla) who moved in next to my sister - and who then opened an auto shop in his garage (his house) - this a nice, residential neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. After months of going through the enorcement motions, the operation was finally shut down by the fire marshall for 6 (six) tanks of explosive gases (acetelyne) in the garage - less than 30 feet from by sister's house. There have to be rules unless you are surrounded by acreage
