Bills to trade Kiko Alonso for LeSean McCoy
truth on hold replied to CNY315's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He had a monster year with Dallas. He went from what many consider the best o-line in football and a playoff team, to a non-playoff team with a weaker oline. And why? Because Philly offered him $8 million more. You bet Im assuming the $2 million more we are paying McCoy gets Murray here, because it's an assumption supported by facts. -

what it does show is that it's not the slam dunk some think around here that McCoy > Murray. IMO Murray is better too. But more importantly, if you put them in the same category, then the combination of Murray + Kiko for the same price > McCoy alone .... that's the real comparison. -
I am responding to your points. In any case I dont see how its possible to view Iran in isolation: how is it inconsequential for US to support illegal Israeli settlements when it costs us billions a year and blowback with crashing planes into our buildings with that as a listed motive? how is it inconsequential for US to support saudi expansion when they are aligned with extremist Sunni elements like Al Qaeda and ISIS? However if one could isolate Iran, Ive already said its better for us to be in a position to monitor their activities, than to have them developed in isolation, especially under a continued sanctions regime that makes them more desperate.

What are our thoughts on Rob Housler?
truth on hold replied to cage's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
seriously why arent they bringing this guy in at least for a look? it seems like clay is looking less likely -
how is someone your ally when they're trying to bait you into fighting their wars? Thats like saying the instigator on the playground making up stories to get the bully to beat up people they dont like is the bully's "friend". theyre not. agree whats done is done, but the point is you have to understand where some of the anti-US rhetoric is coming from ... certainly the US is not immune from harping on the past. no one -- certainly not here -- is advocating giving them nuclear weapons. big difference between a tightly monitored civilian program, and silos and submarines filled with nukes. I have no doubt that Iran would be taken out in an instant if they ever made serious moves in that direction. And an agreement allows us to keep a close eye on things. no agreement means they are free to develop whatever they want in isolation. I also think the Israelis and Saudis must know this ... the real agenda then is to keep the sanctions regime in place indefinitely to starve their economy, thereby reducing their influence in the region. Israeli motive (the extremist side represented by an a$$wipe like netanyahu anyway) is to keep the settlement expansion engine going, and saudis to continue their quest for wahabi'ism to dominate the muslim world. What strikes me as not debatable is subordinating American lives and money to those agendas
-
Us and UK have a well documented history of hostility towards Iran; removing a democratically elected leader and replacing him with a brutal dictator like the shah, and propping up Saddam to invade them are 2 examples. Given that do you think you'd hear some anti-us rhetoric? You can't look at these things in isolation. And more recent and ongoing you have our alleged allies stumping to have us do their dirty work and attack Iran, for motives neither just nor in US interests.
-
why would we want to do the dirty work for those buttwipes the saudi royal family? They're a repressive absolute monarchy and their desire is to dominate the region with their extremist wahabi interpretation of islam. Iran has a far more representative government with greater individual freedoms.

Like the sound of him, has the prototypical size Clay lacks. Clay's lack of size really concerns me he will never develop into the red zone target we need. 4.55/40 has the speed we need too. Good route runner. Reminds of Fleener, but hasnt had the good luck to play with a QB Luck. -
uuhhhh, last time ... I never said there was a conspiracy on the board. What I did say is bias .... yes, those are different characterizations. No matter how much a cuckoo like tom keeps trying to equate them. All I know is I came here looking for an in depth discussion of an unfolding scandal, that threatens to bring down some key democratic senators, and the core group of demo-bashers wants to discuss anything but that. Yeah I find that odd. And seems like the only kooky conspiracy theories being put out are by the repubes, both here and in DC: Watching a GOP conspiracy theory blossom "Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) looked a little silly when he argued Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) may facecriminal charges because he disagrees with the White House on Iranian policy. Yesterday, however, he quickly discovered he had some company among Republicans who were equally eager to appear foolish." And I couldnt agree more with this: "I don’t imagine GOP conspiracy theorists want my advice, but there’s a more obvious way to proceed: if a Democratic senator faces criminal charges and finds himself accused of corruption, then tie him to other Democrats and argue there’s something rotten in the party." http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/watching-gop-conspiracy-theory-blossom

conspiracy? No. You keep introducing that word that nobody's using but, ummmm, you. Bias? Yes. It was your buddy dev null who interjected menendez foreign policy objections, no utterance of outrage over menendez. How else do you explain the other right wing kooks like you and your ad nauseum attacks on demos staying away from this one? It hits all the hot buttons: Democrat senator Ties to party icons like Reid Abuse of entitlement program
-
he'll be fine there, pats sure like loading up on TE's, and other than Gronk have a lot of receiving targets that can hurt you if the defense stops paying attention to them .... chandler fits the bill perfectly
-
think Ive been quite clear I was talking about the right wing kooks on this board .... b-man, tom, chef, billz, dev, etc .... all go bat $%@$ over anything else related to Democrat issues, yet are all curiously mum on a hanging curve ball like this. theyre droning on about wild conspiracies that no one has mentioned, yet this investigation you acknowledge has been going on for years they claim is suddenly in reaction to Menendez's opposition to Obama's foreign policy. Guess all a corrupt demo politician bilking an entitlement program for millions has to do is lick Netanyahu's nuts and all is forgiven around here.

DeMarco Murray - Signed by the Eagles!

Yeah they dumped him on us and got kiko, much better than cutting him outright -
Why dont you Repubes find issues that resonate with American voters, and lay off the "bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran" chorus? Americans tend to think GOP Iran letter was inappropriate By 42% to 28% Americans say it was inappropriate for Republicans to send a letter to Iranian leaders warning them about striking a deal with President Obama https://today.yougov.com/news/2015/03/12/americans-senate-republicans-iran-letter-inappropr/
