The Big Cat

It's also called called blaming others. It's not just Indians, I mean Native Americans, I mean Indigenous Americans: it's blacks, gays, it's people with disorders, it's lots of "groups." So I ask again: what will changing your 'name' change? Is it offensive to be called "gay?" Or is it offensive to be lopped in with what it means to be "gay?" And if it's the latter, how long until the new name takes the same effect? So who's being offensive? The ones using the 'name' or the ones defining it?

Not included in the poll which best defines my feeling on the matter: What benefits has a re-branding effort gotten any group? Are we constantly telling everyone to call us something new? Precisely whom is cultivating the "negative" stereotypes associated with a name? What will the name change change?

Where is that?

"Rasheeeeeeeeed WALLACE!"

Am I the only one who's shocked at how big this thread has gotten?

"effector" hmm.

This may be true. It certainly had some very un-Nix qualities about it. But let's not pretend like Nix has had zero influence on Whaley. I think Nix was the right guy to cut the young pup's teeth. Speaking of young pup: Ralph to Russ. Chan to Doug. Buddy to Doug. YOUTH MOVEMENT.

HASH TAG !@#$ING KNEW IT

Next time you're in Chicago, beers on me.

Fred Jackson should be given limited, situational opportunities. CJ should be given the keys to the offense.

^This AND Stevie Johnson won't be making the Pro Bowl if three other wide receivers are named starters day one. Otherwise...

Precisely my setup. We have a smart TV also, and I have my Mac mini hooked up to it with a wireless keyboard/track pad. Hulu plus & some generous friends with Netflix streaming/HBO GO/Watch ESPN and I've got everything I need sans cable.

Habit? With whom has this been the case under Nix aside from Levitre?

Brad Smith is a very very good football player. Any coach would love to have him. But with the youth and weapons on our roster now, he's a luxury for us. I'd love to see what a team like Chicago, who could and would use him, would be willing to trade for his services.

I have a 16GB iPad, and it works just fine for me BECAUSE I don't use it to store my music. I use my iPhone for that, and since I'm never 10 feet from that, the redundancy is unnecessary.

I'm only intervening because I think you misinterpreted whose "wishful thinking" it was--in this case, the NFLN's because Nassib would have fulfilled the Bills narrative they saw fit.

Cool, thanks for the info!

I agree, I just can't imagine that Kolb's new contract is setup that he can be cut four months after he signed and the Bills won't get dinged.

I don't see Mark Anderson going anywhere, either. Rian Lindell--buh bye. Brad Smith--I don't know. Pears--can't afford to lose him. Tavaris Jackson--its his career to resuscitate at this point. We won't go into the season with him and Kolb on the roster. Odds aren't in his favor right now.

[Cough, cough] BYRD [Cough, cough, cough]

And so the alternative would be...?

Never heard this until just now. Not calling you a liar, but if you have a link, that'd be great.
