Rubes

I didn't realize there would be room for any sores, what with all the hair there.

We have a winner. I almost spit coffee out my nose.

I thought those Catholic girls start much too late?

Well, I did notice this: Maybe that's why he's quiet?

For those of you interested, a new Apple store is coming... Rochester Apple Store Coming

Cool, very nice. Hope the rest of the way is clear.

Now you're getting the hang of it!

No, but it's my decision not to do it.

Anyone for a Constitutional amendment?

I have no interest watching you get bloodied up and beaten to a pulp, but that doesn't mean you can't do it.

Now that's the kind of stuff we need around here. Thanks. I'm starting to feel pretty good about our line. Still not sure what to make of the C/LT issue, though.

Wow, am I losing my mind or have two threads been merged into one?

I dunno, the impression I got after reading that is that some editor popped his head into Gaughan's office, said "Gaughan, get off your ass and give me four paragraphs on the Bills, I don't care what it is, anything, we need a Bills story" and he vomited that out in about 10 minutes.

Someone here needs to turn that frown upside down!

Turn those clocks ahead tonight... Just the thought of more daylight is awesome.

You thought that was the funniest episode of anything you've ever seen too?

It's really an interesting, unique situation. Brady already accomplished as much as you could ever ask of a QB, everything you would expect from a QB with a huge salary. But he didn't have that huge salary. So basically this next contract could be viewed as a "thanks" for what he did for them while being paid peanuts. But in today's NFL, you're paying for future performance, not past performance, and the kind of contract they would need to give Brady might sabotage their chances in the future.

That's pretty much right on target, I'd say. Problem is, can you realistically expect to field a championship-caliber team with a QB who demands that high of a percentage of your total cap? I would think that the Pats really owe it to Brady to show him the money, but that kind of money can really handcuff the rest of the team. There may be creative ways of structuring contracts to deal with that, but when you're talking that kind of coin, I'm not sure how you can hide it.

It was nice to see he was allowed to die gracefully and peacefully at his home, as we all should. (confirmed on Yahoo.com)

Not that I particularly care about either player, but my eyes nearly popped out at those cap figures. Brady has a cap figure of $10 mill this season and $14 mill next? Holy schnickes. He accounts for more than 10% of the entire team cap, I believe. And Peyton's figure next season is obscene at almost $18 mill. Should be interesting to see what happens with these two over the next couple of years. Also makes me shudder to think what might happen in a few years if McGahee, Evans, and Losman all perform as well as expected... Linky (it's down somewhere in the "Around the League" section)

Fair enough.

No, not to most people at least....

Yes, but back then getting 50 catches in a season was the mark of a really good receiver.

No, but I hear she's a really nice fat person....

That would certainly send a message if it happens.
