Actually, yes. I would have fired Williams after year 2. I would have not let Williams talk me into getting Robinson as a LB. I would have not let Rusty Jones go, or put him in a position where he felt compelled to go. I would made getting a good kicker a higher priority. Other than that, I think he's done a great job. You may see me as an apologist, however you seem to do quite a bit of accusing without much logic behind it.

You do know what negotiations are, don't you? Ever bought a car? Ever negotiated a salary yourself? Has an employer ever offered you a salary without expecting you to negotiate?

Give me a friggin break! Two out of five is a GREAT ratio when retaining young talent. Expecially when it has been shown that Peerless isn't as great as expected. You also forget that he extended Travis, which allowed us to be in a position to trade him this year. You seem to be rewriting history just to fit your argument.

Ya know, it really takes two to tango. We didn't do it with peerless and it was friggin brilliant. Peerless is a POS and would have wanted too much money. Winfield is great, but he was overpaid and our defense had more interceptions WITHOUT him. And you are forgetting that TD actually did offer both Jennings and Williams contracts BEFORE training camp last year. Let's not rewrite history.

?? I don't get it. I'm amazed at the "shoulda drafted XXX player" posts that still go on here.

I'd like to look at the formations we were in when we were run on. My guess is both Pat and Sam were out when we were run on. I think our defense is flexible enough to absorb the loss of Williams, although I think it would hurt a bit. With Sam under contract, we have the option of running more of the 3-4 sets we ran a bit last year with Posey rushing the passer like he did in Houston. We've got the skill at linebacker and safety to do it for sure.

Are you insane? There's only one place to get a garbage plate, and that's the place that invented them. There's only one plate, and that's at Nicks.

Actually, if you want to go our the East/Alexander area is pretty hoppin. It's taken away much of the popularity of the Monroe Ave area.

Oh man, that guy was nuts! I used to love watching that loon.

Let's see. Nick Tahou's is pretty good. There's beer everywhere. I don't know much about rock and roll locally. I know you can probably watch some cheesey hair band at the penny arcade in Charlotte. Lots of acid wash and big hair there, though. Be careful.

I agree. But his name alone will probably push up his asking price, so I'm sure we don't have a chance.

Don't. Not worth it. Any file sharing program is riddled with spyware, viri, and other stuff that makes it not worth it.

When your beer sucks, you have to sell it somehow. Coors Light and Bud Light are both pisswater, and therefore the marketing needs to go overboard.

Can someone explain the appeal of NASCAR? To me it is equivalent of wrestling when it comes to being a "sport". And is sure as hell isn't interesting in the least. Someone tell my why I should be interested in NASCAR. I just don't get it, but am willing to listen.

Right here, baby. He signed a rookie contract that was slotted per position and there is littel wiggle room in that. I challenge you to find an argument as to how rookie contracts could be changed. Go ahead. Give it your best shot.

Dumbest post of the week!

I like soccer for the same reason I don't like hockey.

I had an e-mail exchange with him once. He needs happy pills. He also is an idiot with an IQ of a slug. In our exchange I made him look like an idiot, but he still didn't see it. He really needs psychological help.

We damn well better go to the playoffs. I expect nothing less, and I'm not going to be too patient with Losman, nor make excuses for him. If he's capable of playing better than Drew, which is why he is starting, and last year we were one or two plays away from the playoffs, then we should go to the playoffs. I've had it with missing the playoffs. No excuses. Playoffs or heads roll.

I listened to the whole thing, and didn't hear him throw a barb at JP.

I don't think your list of 10 items is the democratic platform, in the same way that a statement like "SCREW THE POOR!" or "TO HELL WITH THE ENVIRONMENT!" are part of the republican platform. Anyway, banning smoking in bars is one of the best things that has happened to NYS in the past decade. :-)

We'll have to bring someone else in. We need bodies at the very least.

Prevert.

Agreed. LE looked good as a rookie, and WM looked phenominal in his first year. We'll see what happens. He sure should. I'm not sure I like a starter who has only thrown 5 passes in the NFL, but I expect nothing less than the playoffs. Period.
