the bills will want to see where they are in contract talks if they are close they might turn down any offer. signing nate gives us 3 very very solid starts in our D for coverage (mcgee, nate, t Vince). it also lets us cut milloy and draft a young guy and/or sign a cover SS in FA. cutting milloy, reneg/cutting moulds + williams and renegotiating london (along with cutting turds like wire, posey, etc) will allow us to sign bently at 6 bucks per and an LT as well. so you might look at nate and think he worth a certain contract based on how he played against teh raiders, but he may well be worth that to our team

the point is new england sees the value of big men and drafts accordingly. they let woody go because they had a replacement and felt he was expensive. we let jonas go because we thought he was expensive, but had no replacement. by not drafting any linemen day one besides mike will since we put ourselves in a position of needing big guys and having to pay too much for them. the iggles also had a habbit of taking big men every year, they did ok

i'd rather keep moulds at this point, but if ditching him got us bently, i'd do it.

this is a frickin good and salient point that is from what, last season or the last 2 seasons?

my personal fav draft has williams or d'brick there for us at 8. while ngata looks solid, i think there will be a few guys just below him available for us in the 2nd, and we will have a shot at another decent DT in the 3rd, or more importantly a solid OL prospect or 2, or one and a safety in the 3rd. I expect us to get 4 new starters (or VERY high on the rotation at DT) on our lines (2 each) in day one of the draft and FA. if we can nab an LT like backus (moving gandy to LG) and bentley in FA, we can keep williams if he is cheap or just cut him and spend all of our picks on D. i'd like williams watson Safety OL/MLB in day one if we get our OL in FA. this, along with decent coaching and JP coming into his own could set up a VERY solid core for our team

wow 1gap, you are a horrible analyst. if you even START to look at other college programs you will see them AT BEST being a bit behind miami in terms of the quality and quantity of 1st round picks. if you inlcude 2nd and 3rd round picks you'd be even further behind. it's just funny how you defend your wrong position by pointing to the players taken and just making up stuff (nice call on bubba franks by the way! favre can't count on him, cripes). ray lewis, shockey and vilma having down years and being dissapointments? i'd ask you to watch the pro bowl today, but i can tell you don't follow football. i like reading people's opinions of what teams should do or what young guys coming up are good, but your post is so horrible i want to put needles in my face and dunk my head in lemon juice.

ok but i don't think trading clements for a pick is better than keeping him at 5 per. if that de is there i'll be happy, but i do think we need to keep clements and get some more DTs higher in the draft, tho i like your safety ideas. we only want to lose 1 at most, not 2 starters in our secondary. keep clements, lose milloy, keep vince but have him play a true FS is better

i know, thanks for that link by the way, I did read it. this medicine is available WITHOUT prescription. the law mandating pharmacies carry drugs "in accordance with the usual needs of the community" does not enumerate a list of drugs that do or don't have to be carried. so do they have to carry something that CAN be perscribed that is available WITHOUT perscription? how often is this pill really perscribed anyhow? do women often have unprotected sex and then run to the doctor and get a perscription and THEN go to walmart? considering they'd be able to get it without perscription at the hospital, or would get their perscription at planned parenthood and then just buy the pill there, why would they go to walmart anyhow? you should be able to see that it can easily be argued that walmart would not be expected to carry the above pill. these things ARE GREY, that's why these laws lead to so much controversy. as far as your assertion that i don't want walmart to carry this pill, I really don't care. why would you assume i did? and i've stated before, walmart doesn't make "moral" decisions based on its own morality, but on the percieved morality of its customers. they don't carry things that they think will cause their core consumer group to disassociate themselves from walmart. they don't carry certain items that would sell because they might cause a stir, but the do carry others (violent video games for example) that people might object to on the same "moral" grounds as other items that are not stocked. it is just the result of their cost benefit analysis, all business do this. anyhow, the only "moral" argument you might make is that walmart can do what it wants with its own business, although one might say that walmart is already in bed with the government so they did the deal with the devil and thusly must pay the price.

wha?!?!? you mean removing regulations can be a good thing?!!? what about your hand waving about what history has shown us and the like?

lefty talk radio COULD be a huge hit if it punchy and dared people to listen (like limbaugh who gets some big ratings from people who hate him). the thing is its roots are in public broadcast radio which is boring and keeps people away in droves. i don't think any of those people mentioned above will hold an audience very well

my argument isn't that any of this is legal or not (although walmart's position on this might change the court's mind), but that it is silly to say that if the government doesn't force pharmacies to carry drugs, no one will carry them. the government don't force anyone to carry illegal narcotics, but they are still sold on a regular basis. could this be because of supply and demand? no, no of course not. that's just another weak argument.

yes yes, this is of course what will happen. there is no possibility of freedom of choice for drug vendors. if they are given any say in what they themselves carry then they would never carry drugs that consumers desire. after all, they are only after a profit and wouldn't EVER take advantage of a market segment not covered by their competitors because that would help them make a prof, er, uh. hmmm i was about to type that i might have found a hole in your logic, but your argument is more like tiny logic island floating in a giant see of emotive reactoinary ignorance. do you have the slightest idea of how business is run, or how competition works?

now now i didn't say you advocated state control of all bussiness. you advocate facism when it suits your own personal politics. you've said as much with your dismissive remarks about any stakeholders (the management, the board, by extension shareholders and employees on all levels).

well, another swing and another miss, keep trying you'll grow up someday! "You might want to expand your understanding of fascism a little bit." nonsense. i defined fascism above, it is private ownership of capital/business with government fiat dictating its use. this is EXACTLY what drug stocking laws are. while you might equate the nazi regime with fascism in the muddy soup of all things economic in your brain, they aren't the same thing. you see, the same way that socialism is a concept that exists independently of the former soviet government (or even current sweden), fascism is a concept that exists independant of the little talking points you might think of when the name comes up. your whole tirade about nazis was very elightning, but a total non sequitor. if you really think corporations/business = bad and government intevention "for the little guy" = good, then you'll have no doubt already booked your flight to cuba to live in corporation free government intervention rich paradise. when are you off?

the stones are too damn old to be a rock and roll band.

i don't think that is a fair comparison wrt jp and kelly jp played houston, tampa, new orleans, atlanta, carolina, kc, miami, new england, and san diego kelly played the jets twice, new england, miami (home), a couple minutes of kc (where he was sacked and knocked out) cincy, raiders and snippets of tampa, NO the bottom line is jp was put infront of some tough passrushing teams and while he really sucked at the start, he was scrambling and making plays the whole time afterwards. ben rothless isn't as good as advertised, he can't hold carson palmer's jock

didn't moon go to 8 straight pro bowls? that's just nuts

do you really have this poor of an understanding of business? walmart won't carry items that they think might cause them a negative business impact. they have to consider lobby groups or concerned parent shoppers who might create a problem over an item (some books and CDs for example) against the potential losses in profits or market share to competitors who will carry that item. your statement: "I have no desire to protect the ability of the Wal Mart Board of Directors to serve as a philosophical and moral tribunal deciding which medications are ethically pure enough to be dispensed." just stinks of self importance. laws requiring pharmacies to carry certain (and if pushed to their logical end ANY item) force private business to itmes they might not otherwise want to (for any number of reasons). NOT FORCING walmart to carry an item IS NOT PROTECTING walmart, it is simply not fascism (which is private ownership with government fiat overriding owner's control). and what does your desire have to do with it? I desire ABC to broadcast bills games in prime time every week, should they? your other commets about permiting walmart and their moral concious show that you are more than happy to have fascism if it suits your own politics. not exacly liberal, are you?

it is grey. you have it wrong, pharmacies are not required to carry drugs "people would expect" because people can expect anything. they have to carry drugs that meet some subjective criteria of being needed or "expected". that is in and of itself grey. if the pharmacy does not feel they will sell enough of the drug to warrant holding it, they MIGHT be able to avoid carrying it. if they don't like the drug itself (they feel it is unsafe or that another type of drug is a better alternative), they might stock it, or might not stock much of it. then you have drugs like that contraceptive or viagra. they are drugs that are not required to save anyone's life or to maintain them day to day, they are "lifestyle drugs" which is a very fast growing and profitable sector. so one judge or advocacy group might feel that a certain drug should be required, while another might not. grey

pharmacists being required to carry drugs is a VERY grey area. i don't think they have to stock rubbers so i doubt they'd have to stock the morning after pill. there are TONS more prisoners in the US, as well as the abortions mentioned above. i don't know if i read this in freakenomics or somewhere else, but the aborted fetuses would have been members of demographic groups most likely to be criminals

as a bills fan in toronto, that'd be pretty kewl. a big event and it'd be a home game for the bills

seachickens for sure. i hate pitts and their ghey fans, and i hate fake ass cowher and his fake rants. that douche has never once stood up to a player, he lets them do whatever they want, but pokes his assy chin all over the camera to make himself look tough f the stillers, f cowher, go hawks

posey is as good as gone campbell might get cut mike williams, london fletcher, and eric moulds are all going to have contract adjustments/get cut. we need to replace milloy and vincnet in the next couple years, perhaps ditching milloy and getting a guy in FA who can play at the same level (wow, didn't new england do that before we dropped a ton on milloy?) might be an idea. vincent is too expensive to cut right now, and if we can swap clements for a 1st rounder we might want him at corner

tko had a HUGE role in our coverages. we lost the best coverage front 7 player in the nfl last year, that hurt all of our coverage

your buddy's story leaves the door open for cutler to be kidd or murray, in other words he can be the one superstar or a hanger on. if he is the hanger on, who on vandy is a star? mayock from NFL network (who i think does a good job in ranking guys and showing you why he has them ranked that way) has cutler at number 1, perhaps 2 after a not great senior bowl. i hope he is a very good looking qb on draft day, if 3 qbs, 2 rbs ( memphis guy and bushy), and hawk are the top 6 picks then we get one of williams, fergesun or ngata.
