This guy chooses to ignore the good and accentuate the bad. Apart from Janikowski, the Raiders are far and away the standard for dysfunctional. The Bills have made some poor decisions, probably more than their fair share. But the Bills aren't even in the same solar system as the Raiders when it come to dysfunctional.

Including my own two? Hmmm....that depends on who's reading this......

Or a delusion by Hurley in some mental institution.

Flora Purim. She could sing the phone book and it would sound gorgeous.

I agree with you on the bonuses. They are the very definition of "obscene". When my business isn't making money, I don't take a paycheck.

...which has what to do with the meaningless $5k tax credit for hiring employees in a tanking economy full of layoffs and company shutdowns? Get the banks to start making small business loans again after the giant bailout. Oh wait, the government is powerless there, too.

....But wait..... The $5k tax credit on hiring new employees will save us! I'm going to hire 6 or 7 new employees to offset the lack of business just to help boost his numbers.

Maybe not.... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4909494

He would have a sizable chip on his shoulder for the Dolphins, but that's about the only real upside I see.

Whatever, indeed. Pinch loves playing his role. As long as he races hard AND clean, admits when he's wrong and stops whining, he's good to go.

Apart from that irritating thing he does with his lips, now we have another thing to rag on him about.

Pinch can be a giant rectal itch from time to time. Great driver but his maturity hasn't quite caught up with his age.

HB to youse guise.

Not to mention that primo $5k tax break on hiring new employees during this economic toilet-flush. What a useless incentive THAT is.

I coined that name for him along with my wife . His face looks all "pinched", especially when he's all in a snit about whatever he gets in snits about. Great driver, but a real jerk at times.

Hope Junior gets a decent set of wheels, passes 5 cars and spins out Pinch (Kyle Bush) on the last lap to win!!!

Whoa.....most excellent choice! Billy Cobham, Bill Bruford, Alan White (Yes) & Lenny White (Return to Forever). Bill Ward: The Sabs....very underrated.

Oh, I'm in agreement with the article as far as the $5k tax credit for hiring. Hiring another person is NOT going to increase my business so it would be absurd for me to hire someone. Companies are laying off and shutting their doors because business is so bad. Why would I hire another person without the business to support their salary? If you assume that things will start getting better, then small business loans would at least serve as a bridge to allow businesses to stay in business and keep people employed until things get better. If I stay in business, then I spend money with other companies on goods and services, keeping them in business, and I keep people employed, which allows them to spend money - also going to other businesses helping to keep them going. Ultimately, it is the decision of the banking institutions as to whether they provide loans to businesses or not. The government doesn't have any way to force that to happen.

I think we are too, just debating the "chicken or the egg" question. Without small business loans, more people will get laid off and more businesses shut down which means more people out of work and a lot less "someones" buying any products or services.

As do I.

Point taken. But.... If loans to small businesses resume, that will at least jump start the business sector. My primary concern is staying in business. My secondary concern is the uncertainty with regs & taxes.

Small business loans are what feeds business and the economy. Small businesses need loans in order to purchase products and pay for services in order to do business. Without that, a lot of small companies are severely impacted in the way they do business. No business means layoffs or company shutdowns. Both of those impact the consumer's ability to spend money on anything and everything. If you don't have a job or are worried you won't have a job, you don't spend or cut way back. If consumers can't spend or severely curtail their spending, that impacts all other businesses, housing market, etc., vertically and horizontally. That in turn, keeps the economy where it is right now....in the tank.

They're going to unveil their first ICBM, whereupon 500 Iranian Soldiers will throw it as far as they can towards Israel.

If there is a God, Nix and Gailey will be looking in every direction but Campbell's.

I would definitely take a shot at Stallworth....depending on the asking price.
