The other thing you are forgetting is that there WILL be competition for his services. Sure if its one team, they may say "4th round or forget it" to force our hands. But if oakland is saying that we simply ask phily, and they might say fine, we will give you a third rounder for him, and the bidding escalates from there. Our hands are NOT tied here. He is under contract with us. If some other team (philly) would rather draft a guy like Ronnie Brown with their first round pick...rather than have travis, so be it. There arent alot of good backs in this draft. Carnell williams and Cedrick Benson. Thats about it.

Bottom line is that we are 2-5. We need to go 7-2 or 8-1 the rest of the way to have ANY chance at the playoffs (and even then might not make it). We still play NE, NYJ and Sea. Its not that I wasnt happy we won today, its that it doesnt really matter. I still watch and want them to win, but with the superbowl seemingly out of reach at this point, how excited can you get about maybe having an 8-8 season?

That avatar really really needs to go tater

While this is possible if the EV is tied, the only way its possible is if the senate goes democratic. In a tie, the newly elected house selects the president (bush since republicans will regain control). The senate then selects the VP between cheney and edwards. They will select cheney unless something strange happens and republicans lose the senate. I have no idea what happens if the senate is 50/50. Do they wait until the house selects the VP then have the VP cast the deciding vote?

Travis is a damn good back, and I wish we could keep him. But it appears as if mcgahee fits in better here. If travis does go, i wish him all the luck in the world (unless they are playing us or he goes to mia/ne)

I'd take 80 yards and a W than 497 and a L

Atlanta actually is a good possibility. They seem to like our bills over there. Arizona maybe if their pick isnt too high. Philadelphia? Jacksonville if they give up on Taylor. Indy if James is gone. Oakland and perhaps even cleveland. Lots of possibilities there....Philly looks like our best bet at a #1. They will have a late first round pick, and need a RB. Good spot for travis actually.

Yeah, that race is interesting, but at least i feel like whoever wins they will do a competent job. My guys are putting each other on pictures with hitler and mailing them out to the populus (no joke). Its horrible.

I dont get it.... On a side note, I am a conservative. But Mark Warner has done a decent job with the state of VA IMO. Would I support him on a national level? That depends on who he is running against, but I would not just rule him out like many of us have with kerry. I think Gov Warner is the kind of candidate that wins on a national level. Moderate candidates do quite well once they get through their primary (which is the hard part).

Funny, living in portsmouth VA (possibly the worst choice of congressional candidates known to man) , i have not recieved a single call.

Ya know...I think we are more likely to get a republican in 08 than we are on tuesday. Possible 08 GOP candidates Guliani McCain Powell Schwartzzeneger (if constitution ammended, i hope it isn't) Pataki That is a powerful group of guys. Guliani and Pataki Can bring in NY (plus the normal conservative base). Swartz can reign in CA. McCain is a beast and I think its his to lose if he wants it. Powell is the best all around candidate, but I doubt he wants it. Others possible: Sen Allen, Condeleeza Rice & Tom Ridge. Contrast that with the Democrats Hillary & the same bunch of duds we had in this election. Best candidate IMO is Gov. Mark Warner of Virginia. Other reasonable candidates: Harold Ford Jr, Gov. Rendell and Barack Obama (though he needs to prove himself a little more) All in all, the GOP has a better crop of upcoming presidential candidates.

Drew did very little to help us win this game despite the score. McGahee and McGee really steped up. Drew did a good job today Not Losing the game today. Which is sometimes all you can ask for.

Sure his stuff is right wing, that doesnt make it any more or less wrong. You KNOW he is right wing and can filter out the propaganda from the news, and its very easy to do with drudge

For what its worth, I told a good friend of mine (who is undecided) about the bin laden tape. He has been leaning bush because of judicial appointees, but little else. When I told him about the tape, he responded with the attitude of "It makes me feel better that they hate bush, he must be doing something right". I know that is a very small sample, but I wanted to share my experience with this issue.

This looks like a pretty bad electoral map to me. It only uses the latest poll. Try realclearpolitics or even better (IMO) http://geekmedia.org/tradesports/ which is a market average.

I dont know why people keep trying to discredit drudge. What has he done to get this kind of rep? He publishes a story and then links to REAL news stories. He has been on top of virtually everything in the past week, and he gets news hours (sometimes days) ahead of other outlets. I just dont understand the general distrust of drudge.

Come on guys, act like you won one before. Oh wait...you havent!

Tony Gonzalez.

Umm...they have to say they approved the message....umm...dont know what else

Nope. No appology. quite differenct actually. A campaign ad. Good plan john. Political suicide on this one.

Yet, iraq posed no threat of terrorism, and did not have weapons of mass destruction (whatever 380 tons of highly dangerous explosives is...), and sadam did not need to be taken out of power. It was the wrong war at the wrong time. We should have let sadam have those 380 tons of weapons at his disposal. You guys are amazing.

Okay, believe what you want to believe. I saw this being reported on both foxnews and msnbc already. It will break hard tomorrow i am sure. NBC was evidently THERE when troops arrived and these weapons were already gone. We'll jsut let this play out since neither of us really has enough info to have a logical debate on this topic. But it does look like kerry jumped the gun to make this a high profile issue today.

Yeah, its always easy to be a monday morning quarterback. Unless well...you're drew bledsoe.

Could it be at all that the republicans put the first black supreme court justice on the bench or that Bush has 3 african americans in his cabinet? Or perhaps that people like sharpton and jesse jackson are acutally HURTING their cause? Perhaps?
