Speaking of which, even with UCONN winning, the Big East still sucks.
The Big East might suck, but UCONN don't.

Any product that claims to contain HGH or an HGH releaser that you can spray under your tongue is lying to you. The HGH molecule is too big to be absorbed sublingually and there is no effective HGH releaser. What is available is IGF-1 (which is produced by the liver in response to HGH and which accounts for the effects of HGH), which can be absorbed sublingually. Whether there is enough IGF-1 in the dose they recommend to make a difference is unknown, even though most products claim there is.

So Weis explains the insance yards as due to Bills stupidity- not adjusting, but were there any comments on Kyle Williams: nine tackles, two sacks, and three tackles for loss for example weren't forthcoming? How did Weis adjust for a great D effort, albeit solo by running the same play 95% of the tine. Or do we take this as more winners are grinners, winners get to write history and we take all that they say then as truth.
Basically. Despite the insane number of rushing yards, the Chefs only scored 10 points in 4 quarters and should have lost in OT if not for Lindell choking on his 2nd FG attempt. If anything, their DC should have been crowing about keeping the Bills to 10 points.

They make a simple road repair in 6 days and you trace it back to nationalized heath care? Just when I think you've reached the height of stupidity in your cause and effect conclusions you roll out a topper.
I'm sure England, Canada, and France could repair a road in 6 days After all, they too have nationalized health care.

The guy in the article certainly hopes that the last CBA rules are imposed by the judge, but there is nothing in that article than says it will definitely be so.
The 2006 CBA absolutely expired. Only you are challenging this fact. Both sides were free to opt out early. The owners did so. It expired--the NFLPA will confirm this for you.
You can believe what you want to believe. There comes a point where it is pointless.
The 2006 CBA expired after being opted-out-of early. And I also read that the 2006 CBA would be used.
You showed me totals that were far lower than the 59.5% of total revenues that the players were "given" as a result of the the bad CBA. The raise in the cap (if paid by the owner) was maybe 7% more than it was scheduled to be. The deal that the owners had on the table this month was better than that.
Again, forget the percentage since players have never received the entire money available to them since the salary cap was instituted in 1993. I showed that player expenses rose by $571.5M between 2005 and 2006, and only $288M of that could be accounted for by the increase in TV money.

He is inmature but his relationship with Deion Sanders played a part in him being kicked off the OSU team.
Deion kicked Dezbo off his team. Apparently it happened months ago:
-
A player who signed in 05 didn't get a raise. Any player who signed after this got whatever his agent could get from the team owner based on what was available in the cap. The cap is a budget max, not a grocery list. You are now saying every player got an instant raise (you conceded the opposite in the past), yet almost all players who re-sign do so for more money--regardless of the cap. That was true before the 2006 CBA.
Quick--what's 59.5% of 9.2 billion? What's was the total spent on players' salaries? Not even close.
As for the owners now parroting Incognito, no surprise there as they have shaped their argument to show they want a deal that reduces their financial exposure in difficult times. It's a PR strategy--much like D Smith effusively praising (not suspiciously denouncing) the renegotiated TV contracts by the owners in 2009.
Um, no, I didn't say that every player automatically got a raise in 2006. I said that every player received a new contract at some point between 2006-2010, and that those contracts were higher than they otherwise would have been thanks to the 2006 CBA. And I showed you the numbers, not used some pedantic "quick, what's..."
As for the part I quoted from PFT, it was to again show you that everyone else considers the 2006 CBA to have been a bad one (even the owners), that the players knew they got the better of the owners last time, and that they won't take less without a fight. Whereas taking a hard stance last time would have meant a smaller increase for the players, but still an increase.

I see DW as Chan's replacement when he decides he's had enough of Ralph.
Chan isn't a GM. Much less Bill Polian.
I dont care how bad Edwards performs in 2011, he should stay the season. You don't fire a coordinator during preseason or the middle of the season. How'd that work out for us back in 2009?
The difference is that DW is a proven, successful DC. Alex Van Pelt had never been anything more than a QB coach.
-
No, because they're that way they have nationalized health care.
...and? Again, do you think that the US having nationalized health care will magically make all the problems go away? What about other countries with nationalized health care that don't have the same work ethic?
As for America you can thank Rand and Neoliberalism for changing selfishness from a common human moral failing into an exalted virtue.There is selfishness all around. The super rich are just as selfish as those people on welfare who have no incentive to get off of it.

My next question... Do you think it can spread here?
Maybe we should socialize like Japan... They do get their health taken care of... Is that a start?
Wait, you think they're that way because of "socialism" and because of their nationalized health care?
:lol: -
What kind of work ethic does Japan have? Is it individually driven? Or is it socially driven? They have to be working for somebody? The group (company, society, etc...) or the individual?
It's socially driven, which in turn makes it individually driven.
-
Sure it is.
Wait and see, EII. As it stands, Barry's re-election chances are slim-to-none. If the Repubs can avoid nominating a septuagenarian and a Barbie-doll to the ticket, they'll have it in the bag, so to speak.
And I prefer to call them by their original name: Baggers.They were never known as "Tea Baggers," EII. The "Tea Party movement" got its name from the 1773 Boston Tea Party, not the Boston Tea Bag...ger. There were no tea bags (I don't know about the act of "tea bagging") back then, having been invented in 1903.
-
Absolutely not true .... though a very different situation work ethic than the U.S.
Clarified it.
-
Even the Baggers are turning on the repubs in Congress. I guess nobody is loyal to a fault anymore.
It is a harsh political climate out there and nobody is geographically blessed...
Tea Partiers were never fully aligned with the Repubs, so it's no big deal. Barry losing the majority of independents and now some Dems? Now that's killer.
-
Wow, Michael Moore is now turning on Barry? Do even his wife and daughters still support him now?
-
Troup and Carrington barely played. Batten didn't survive training camp. Starting or even playing in games will be a personal improvement for all of them, but I don't see how you project overall defensive improvement with 3 guys who we know little about. Moats looked solid.
Batten was looking great in training camp and getting praise from the vets before injuring his shoulder (his return from it won't be an issue). He had no injuries in college. The kid should be a good "addition." Troup and Carrington is a wait-and-see, which is why I think the Bills should go DL in the 1st.
-
Wait, why did Charlie Weis go from being an NFL OC to a college OC again? Is UF giving him more money? Did he want to get away from that Richard Haley?
-
The players did not get "a raise" under the last CBA. Only if their contract was signed or renewed during this period did they possibly end up with more money.
Once again, wrong. I showed you beyond a shadow of a doubt that players immediately got significantly more money after the 2006 CBA was signed and the salary cap, floor, and minimum salaries were raised. And unless you can show even a single player who signed a contract in 2005 that had a length of 6 years or more (which would have made him an UFA in 2011), the players, EVERY player, got more money since contracts signed prior to 2006 expired prior to the 2011 season.
BTW, here is the final word on our 2006 CBA discussion:
With "partners" like these who needs enemies......
League continues to bask in its bad deal from 2006
Posted by Mike Florio on March 23, 2011, 2:22 PM EDT
How badly does the NFL want the players to do what many of them think will be a bad deal?
Badly enough to brag about the bad deal the NFL did in 2006.
After embracing comments from men like Kevin Mawae and Kurt Warner regarding the value to the players of the contract negotiated in 2006, the NFL has now wrapped its arms around the heavily tatted torso of Dolphins lineman Richie Incognito.
At NFLLabor.com (apparently, ProFootballPropaganda.com was taken), the league trumpets comments from Incognito regarding the recently-expired labor contract.
“We kicked their butts in the last negotiation so we’re not going to settle,” Incognito said in quotes given to ESPN.com and copied at NFLLabor.com. “This is our livelihood and as players we’re united. We’re sticking together 100 percent.”

Oh and I agree with you about players being able to afford health insurance. There are 256 practice squad players who would have a harder time paying for it, but there are 1696 players who make at least $325K who can easily afford it.

You guys crack me up.
Chan is not the type to put his friend, Edwards, in a "pull the plug" situation. He is bringing him help, not threatening him. I think Chan believes in him.
The defense will be improved because of the following reason:
1 - Last years rookies will improve (Troup, Carrington, Moats and maybe some help from Batten)
2- We will draft some more help this off season
3 - DW will help a lot
4 - Players will be more familiar with assignments
5 - Edwards will be more experienced too
6 - Last years level was so poor in comparision.
With Wannstedt around, Gailey has the option to quietly demote Edwards without embarrassing him. It's a win-win, assuming Gailey makes Wannstedt the DC should the defense falter under Edwards. But again, I can't see Wannstedt not being the DC, given his success as a DC for so long in the NFL.
-
I stopped being a Jason Peters fan after his charades in 2008, but on the "thuggery" scale, this is at the bottom.
-
As I've said, I believe Wannstedt will be the real DC. But if he isn't, I'd give Edwards 2 games, a la Trent last year.
-
And the Bills would have won it had Lindell connected on the 2nd FG try.
-
The Bills will tout RF as the man until someone else comes along to supplant him. The guy had a decent season after being thrust into the starting role last year, has been a good leader on the field and a model citizen off of it. At present, there IS no better option. That could change if the Bills draft a QB and he turns out to be better. RF could also be a much better player after a full season and off-season in the system as a starter, a better OL (hopefully they find a RT), the young receivers maturing, and hopefully the addition of a TE.
-
Big deal. The world was created in 6 days.
