"I'll be a better teammate, a better person, a better man in life. I'm looking forward to this opportunity."
Yeah, right. What a classy guy. It isn't all about ego with him...

This is more pointless sentimentality than addressing the salary cap implications of many of the prior posts - and i can understand the opinion that dropping Moulds is necessary with his salary implications, but i definitely feel worse getting rid of him as opposed to Bruce and Thurman. Those guys were egomaniacs who had clearly lost a step, Moulds will contribute more than they did on other teams. And I think Moulds cared more about the Bills than those guys did- certainly Bruce just wanted money and attention. None of us know exactly what happened with his Mularkey dispute. So best of luck to Moulds, a sentiment I rarely feel when a Buffalo player goes elsewhere. Usually I hope that ex-Bills quickly tear an ACL after they leave town...

What American shows AREN'T popular in the UK is a better question....
Right now we have: Smallville, The OC, Americas Next Top Model,American Idol, One Tree Hill, Friends, Thrid Rock, Futurama, Family Guy, Simpsons, ER, The Apprentice, CSI, West Wing, Will and Grace, 24, Despeerate Housewives, Invasion, Alias, Charmed, Shipwrecked, Knight Rider, Roseanne, The A Team, Planets Funnist Animals, COPS, Malcolm in the Middle: Nip/Tuck, Law and Order, Brat Camp, Punkd, Meet the Barkers, Pimp my Ride, Wife Swap, Cheers, Wonder Years, Bold and the Beautiful, Quantum Leap... you get the idea
We get most if the same TV here as you do there. It is the wonder of Cable/Sattelite... But even on regular TV we get a ton of US shows as well as British stuff...
well, how do they rate in popularity as compared to japanese game shows? and 'meet the barkers' is on there? that's just sad.

ESPN didn't give any love to the NHL even when it had the broadcast rights. During the months of Feb-Mar, you'd still routinely get NBA, NCAA hoops and even spring training highlights before you got NHL coverage on SportsCenter. I hope the league does well on NBC. I watched yesterday's coverage and it was promising.
ahhhh, spring training. i love how ESPN makes baseball out to be a 12 month season. god i hate baseball...

would be great if AD was able to continue there.
New series (maybe just miniseries?) on showtime called "Sleeper Cell" about infiltrating muslim terrorist cell in LA seems pretty good.

from this article:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10271314/
Meantime, the island's two presumptive holy men — Locke and Eko — finally hunkered down. Locke played the Dharma orientation film for Michael and Eko.
The film unsettled Eko, who later revealed to Locke what was hidden inside the Bible found in the tail-enders' Dharma station: some of the film's missing footage of Dr. Marvin Candle.
Demonstrating that he could run enigmatic circles around Locke, Eko prefaced this revelation by recounting the biblical tale of Josiah (the Judaic king who purged the Jerusalem temple of idols and repaired it), drawing a parallel between Josiah's rediscovery of God's laws and his own discovery of the Bible.
When Locke marveled at the coincidence of it all, Eko replied, "Don't mistake coincidence for fate."
The Josiah thing is admittedly puzzling, and how fortunate there's six weeks to hash it all out. For one thing, Josiah later fatally led his forces into Megiddo, the valley where Armageddon supposedly will take place. There's Kate's black horse, which also has apocalyptic overtones. Add that to last week's curious moment with Locke filling "Gilgamesh" into his crossword puzzle, responding to the clue, "Enkidu's friend." Is Locke Gilgamesh? Is Eko Enkidu? (Totally confused?) Nothing like a Christmas-vacation research project.

He is just doing his job.....
Your comparisons don't make sense...It is like saying a home builder should
not make the big money and it should be the carpenter because he is the
one who is doing the actual framing.....Company CEOs should not be the
highest paid, it should be the s/w programer who actually writes the software...
He is doing what he is supposed to do....be the agent.....I don't think he has
done anything wrong....May be you are jealous of his riches.
Also calling him narcissistic poison seems stupid...Just last summer the same
guy saved a kid from drowing in a pool in florida....
I am not defending this guy....He has done things to provoke something inside
his players...Some players have listened to him and ignored his advice...Others
have adhered to it and paid the penalty.....But for TO, I think it is neither....
TO plays the game all by himself.....
Lots of Agents hold their players from coming to camp....This guy gets the
players to camp and then fights a battle....
Why can't a narcissist know CPR? In the end the incident gained him some adulation and fed his ego.
You are right, he was just being an agent for TO and doing his job. Agents are slimebags in general. He just epitomizes the profession.
