The link for that story is HERE. Update can be found HERE. Good to see community come together like this.

Well said, AD. By the way, that GREAT quote was first said by General George Patton.

It is interesting that MSNBC.com chose to cut this part from the full AP story: "Under Navy rules, pilots of carrier-based warplanes including F-18 Hornets cannot go longer than 14 days without flying, or their skills areconsidered to have degraded too far and they have to undergo extensive retraining. The Lincoln has been on station off Sumatra since Jan. 1. Daniels [Lt. Cmdr. John M. Daniels, spokesman for the carrier's battle group] said the Navy only had permission from the Indonesian government to fly into its airspace on missions directly supporting the humanitarian operation." That's why...

I've seen what Indonesia did to East Timor when they invaded the small island country. Indonesia was on the verge of being forcefully removed from east Timor by the Aussies, so the took the island's fire trucks, filled their water tanks with jet fuel. Then they drove through the capital city spraying everything they could. Then they started the whole sity on fire as they left. More than a thousand died, and the international media gave it about three days of coverage. It was an atrocity, and I cannot believe we're helping them now.

Without a doubt.

From the Dec. 31 L.A. Times The Wolverines' most unselfish player stands 6 feet 5 and weighs 307 pounds. You'd think it would be difficult to move him. Yet all Coach Lloyd Carr had to do was ask and David Baas went from left guard, where he had started 30 games, to center, where he had started none. "It was a very unselfish move on his part because it forced him out of a position where he was very comfortable and had established himself as a two-time All-Big Ten player, so it says a lot about him that he did it anyway," Carr said. The move was made before the start of conference play, in hopes of improving a struggling run game, which during the nonconference schedule averaged only 106 yards a game. In the last eight games, with Baas at center, the Wolverines have averaged 174.9 yards and that success has helped open a passing attack led by freshman quarterback Chad Henne. The switch also is expected to improve Baas' stock in the eyes of pro scouts. The team that drafts the fifth-year senior — a finalist for the Outland Trophy, awarded to the nation's top interior lineman — will have a player proven capable at two key positions. Asked Thursday how he had responded to Carr's request, Baas said he had been happy to oblige. "That's what my team needed and I moved in there and kept working at it and getting better every single week," he said. "I didn't have any problem with it."

I disagree with those of you who say TD will not go after quality linemen this year. I would argue that he must know that the success of his big ticket investments (McGahee, Losman, Evans, and even Drew) now depend almost soley on a quality line. I do believe the time has come to build a great O-line.

Worth taking a good hard look at (to name a few): TEs: Antonio Gates Jermaine Wiggins Anthony Becht Anthony Becht Freddie Jones Kickers: Jeff Reed Adam Vinatieri And every offensive lineman out there.

OK. Maybe the AFL would have surivived, but it isn't that big of a stretch to think that without Wilson's cash and his undying refusing to give up, the AFL would have gone under before an NFL ever came to be. Besides, it's a damn good reason to vote him in.

No Kent Hall either.

Include the stinkin' Fish in there. No Dolfins anymore if it wasn't for Mr. Wilson.

It is worse than a joke. There would be no NFL today without Ralph Wilson. I cannot think of anyone more deserving.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but it cannot be said enough anyway. Ralph Wilson Jr. once again will not be enshired in the Football Hall of Fame this year. Link Dan Marino, Steve Young and Michael Irvin are among 15 finalists. Hey voters, :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:

I think Teague should be kept around, but in a backup role. The Bills' biggest offseason need, IMO, is depth on the line. My confidence level would jump 200 percent if TD could sign a top-tier center and solid LT (or re-sign Jennings to a fair deal). Do that, and draft another decent lineman, and we will be playing in late January next year.

Take a step up in the camera world. The Nikon D-100 cannot be beat for the price (around a grand). It had F-mounted lenses, so you'll have to buy at least two, but you can get a real nice package for under $1,500 from a number of online camera stores. Ther batteries last forever, the color is outstanding, the file size is huge, and the shutter speed is amazing. I have two and love them both.

Go back and look at each game from this year. Every time Pat Williams OR Sam Adams were out of the game, even for just a quick breather, the other team could suddenly run. Every time! When Jennings went out, big changes were not nearly as noticable... I guess I would like the see the team re0sgin both big guys, but I certainly think Pat is more vital to success next year.

Fair winds and following seas. Kick some ass but stay safe.

We play the Chargers next year. I hope Brees finds gold elsewhere, Rivers is forced to start and we get the early in the season.

Agreed. I think a lot more kicks would be missed in the NFL if the post went up 15 feet. A lot more doinks! That nine-foot width is pretty amazing.

Vinny C. "ranked 6th in the league in PAT attempts converting 55-of-71" He missed 16 PATs? I don't know a thing about Arena Football, so please let me know if this is nornal.

MM should get back to OBD and start working on next year, damn it!

The bottomline is that this thread was started by a Marine who was just trying to pat his comrades on the back.

Congrats to Takeo! I'll wear my #51 to work tomorrow.

I hate loving the Bills.
