Rubes

Sure, I'd like to see them trade down, too. What I don't want to see is all of the whining that goes on here when they don't, because nobody else wanted to trade up with them.

Happy birthday. Anything special planned?

That's my interpretation, too.

Not that I know of. It's probably much longer than that, my memory isn't so great anymore.

Must have been broken. No drivers needed. I've been using a three-button scroll wheel mouse with my machines for at least 5-6 years now.

Seriously? You still think that a Mac can't use a multi-button mouse?

I went to our campus bookstore on Saturday afternoon and they just got their shipment in. I wasn't planning on buying the 1st gen iPad but after playing with it I couldn't resist. The screen is beautiful, and I'm amazed at how fast I can type on that keyboard. I love being able to flip it on and instantly get e-mail and surf the web from the couch. Total luxury item, but it is nice.

Continue your crusade, by all means.

It just boggles the mind how many times we've crapped the bed on our first round picks this past decade. 2000: Erik Flowers 2001: Nate Clements 2002: Mike Williams 2003: Willis McGahee 2004: Lee Evans, JP Losman 2005: None 2006: Donte Whitner, John McCargo 2007: Marshawn Lynch 2008: Leodis McKelvin 2009: Aaron Maybin, Eric Wood Think about that: out of the last 12 first-round draft picks, only 3 are starters on our team (and two of those are the last two years). Unreal.

There has never been any actual or rumored discussion on this from OBD. Only wishful thinking on the part of us fans.

A bit harsh, but I'll back you on that.

GO BIG RED

We would be lucky to get a 5th for him. Everyone knows he's average at best, and he doesn't fit our system, so it's not like he's in high demand.

OLB and NT are still a big concern, as is their ability as a whole to adjust to a new defense. But I like the way it is headed. If we can find a decent NT, I'll feel a lot better.

+1

For three years, $10 million.

"Interesting" is not the word I would have used.

If we have a decent guy to man the middle, I'm kind of excited to see what he can do as a DE.

Whew.

I'm still trying to figure that one out.

^^^ That.

All I know is that my brother-in-law, a Bears fan, was pitying me once we hired Jauron. It was only a matter of time before that blew up in our faces. I haven't heard nearly such bad things about Gailey. Although, it's not like he's being touted as a savior, either.

Sounds like he fits our system perfectly!

That was pure LOL.

I do, occasionally. But then, I'm not allowed to talk about it.
