Fan in Chicago

I agree with your point. Whether or not our starting CBs will be better with the upgrade at DT needs to be seen. It also remains to be seen if the light will go on for Youboty. But we can ill afford to go into the season with little depth at that position. Which round we draft this depth is debatable and depends on the all-mighty value chart.

Waitacottonpickin minute here, boy. Didcha just call 'im a dummy ? And words are not what I hope someone would shove into said ventriloquist's mouth. That said, life is peaceful with him on ignore. Is it that or did he get booted ?

As we are all playing guess-the-invisible-ink game, What RB really meant was - if we happen to draft Kelly & Sweed in the draft, I could care two hoots if Lee walks when his contract is up.

By jove, you are right. I am also getting free money from the gubmint just in time for driving season. Perfect confluence of reasons to burn, baby, burn.

There were no weasel words in Brandon's statements. He said they plan to keep JP, period. Also, I do not anticipate any TE/JP conflagration. Last season, JP quietly accepted the role of backup so it is not in JP's best interest to be the malcontent in his last year of contract. The only debate that may happen is one that will erupt within the fans if Trent doesn't perform well in the first half of the season.

I certainly wouldn't use the word evil but stupid certainly comes to mind. They (read: politicians) just feign ignorance of economics and the inelastic nature of demand for goods such as cigarettes and gas which make them ripe targets for taxation. Certainly sounds great that McCain is attempting to help the revered common man, but this proposal makes no sense. We just don't have enough refining capacity to satisfy the demand surge that will be caused by this price shock.

Interesting read here: http://www.becker-posner-blog.com/ What Mr. Grassley is missing is that land that could be used for non-corn purposes is diverted to grow corn hence constricting the supply of wheat etc. Way to take a narrow view to make a point (weakly). Ofcourse support remains solid considering the agri vote. Or are politicians being just plain stupid ? Either way, we all suffer the consequences.

Just a note - you should not cut and paste full articles like this one as they are copyrighted*. Normally a link suffices. But in this case, it would have been better if you had summarized or just posted the teams and their projected choices. (Sorry to pre-empt Lori's policing duties.) * From TBD's terms of service: "You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by TBD."

If that harmony sounds more like Rush than Celine Dion, I will be okay with that.

Again, the questions you pose are not part of the original post so I will refrain from answering.

The issue is not discounting other people's views. The issue is bringing up JP when the topic was purely about individual expectations from TE. Bringing up JP in a round about way circumvents a basic subject which is not logically open for an expansion in that direction. The OP is no way opened the door for Trent's brilliance or suckiness so why even bother to go in that direction. Doing so implicitly speaks to a few who are obsessed with JP in one way or the other. Calling that out is correct. We all realize that JP is done as starter and that topic is passe. Please let it go. Let us have a clean thread when discussing TE who is now the Bills starter.

I will take those numbers as a stretch goal for TE in his second year. I also want to see improvement in his play under poor weather conditions (gloves or not).

Nice ! One of the most over-rated and incorrectly labelled ("rock") acts.

Is he lifting without gloves ?

Oh, I am sure you will do great choosing that top five pick every year.

Russ, is that you ?

Good work DoD and thanx for the info. And, you don't have to qualify your opinion with so many disclaimers (as long as you don't call yourself the Expert )

IMO, we should only worry about conserving natural resources - both fuel and ecological. The rest will take care of itself.

Welcome. Take at least some things seriously and most importantly, be humble. You will do fine and enjoy being part of this community.

One - hidden during work hours, exposed during play.

Just read this thread. Good choice. I also had it going with a nympho-psycho and it was just not worth the trouble. Another aspect is that if you are so bangable as your latest escapade proves, you do not need this woman. If you were a 40-yr old virgin, it may have been worth it. Finally, how do you know her ta-ta's are natural ? My ex's were not and they felt close to the real thing. Cosmetic surgery has come a long way - a little picker upper will never be recognized by un-trained hands.

Nice bait but I won't bite this time. Meanwhile I will set my sights on the draft.

Thanx. I didn't know that. Oh well we have another 4th rounder which should still be worth the trade IMO.

I wouldn't mind if we threw in our compensatory 4th round pick also. So we will have two 1st rounders and one each in Rd 2-4. That should help stockpile the talent. Depends who we want and don't want in Rd 1.

Something about picking a Flowers in Rd 1 makes me cringe.
