Whaley: The Pittsburgh Model and no Big-Name FAs
Fingon replied to Thurman#1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Do you want to know why we won't sign any big name free agents? Its because I guarantee that if C.J. Spiller is a star, the Bills will re-sign him, and that is how you build good teams. Consistently good teams don't even let their stars get to FA. -

Actually, while that case gets a bad rep, it was the right decision. McDonald's brews their coffee at extremely high temperatures, and the lady was burned far more than if a normal cup of coffee had spilled on her. -
Had a bone-in rib eye for lunch today. Put a dry rub on it, and seared it on the grill for a couple minutes on each side. Was a perfect rare/medium rare.

F. Adams wants 4 mill a year
Fingon replied to clearwater cadet's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I get the feeling that the coaching staff and front office believe enough in Meredith/Bell that they are willing to let one of them start this year. If they don't work out, then they will spend a high pick on a tackle next year. I'd rather they try and develop the young tackles, rather than bringing in a washed up LT for a year or two. -

It was me, and it showed that high drivers were just as able to avoid collisions as sober people, but they slowed down to do it. Driving while stoned is still far more dangerous than sober, however.

Poll - Where does Lebron end up?

I hope he stays in Cleveland. -
Absinthe doesn't make you hallucinate, that is a myth. It does make you a far more lucid drunk, however. Its reputation for a hallucinogenic is probably because cheap absinthe had a lot of dangerous chemicals added to it to make its color more vibrant.

Two Bills items in a row: Hardy ahead as No. 2 WR? 8:07AM ET James Hardy | Bills Top Email The Buffalo Bills have a problem of sorting out their RB depth chart this offseason (and picking a QB, and figuring out what to do on the O-line, and trying to fit their current defensive personnel into the new 3-4 scheme, et cetera ad nauseum), and they're facing a similar situation with the WRs. The No. 1 wideout is obviously Lee Evans, but after that, there's nothing set in stone yet. According to Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com, James Hardy has been in the No. 2 spot during some of the offseason practices. Hardy has been a bit out of shape, ESPN.com's Tim Graham observed on June 25, but it's likely a result of recovery from sports hernia surgery. Allen Wilson of the Buffalo News noted on May 29 that the team could sure use a breakout season by Hardy [Editor's note: among many other things], and Hardy thinks his time spent with Terrell Owens last season may yield some positive benefits. "I learned how to practice every day, how to go all out every rep," Hardy said. "I learned how to watch film. He came to my house; I went to his house often. He showed me how to break film down, what to look at as far as defenders, how to read defenses and how to have a certain communication with the quarterback on certain routes that you want to run." Fantasy owners should use caution with whomever wins the Bills' No. 2 job, however. Vito Chirco writes that because of Buffalo's uncertain quarterback situation, whichever player starts behind Evans won't have any fantasy value. With all this talk of No. 2, perhaps we're forgetting that the Bills drafted a very nice tertiary option for the passing game at ninth overall in C.J. Spiller. The versatile back could provoke defenses to alter their game plans, even in spite of the Bills' weaknesses in other areas of the offense: John Clayton Spiller will have an impact "I'm thinking it's reasonable for him to get about 40 or 50 catches. His run-after-the-catch ability should be exceptional. Defenses might have to put a cornerback on him because he should burn most linebackers. The problem facing the Bills is that they don't have enough weapons. Opposing teams will double-team Evans. Once defenses find ways of stopping Spiller, too, then the Bills' offense could grind to a halt." Troy could be odd man out 8:03AM ET Troy Smith | Ravens | Interested: Saints?, Bills? Top Email UPDATE: Matt Jergensen of NFLGridironGab.com writes that when it comes to the Ravens' QB situation following the signing of Marc Bulger, "All signs would seemingly point to Troy Smith being shown the door." Jergensen cites Smith's potential discontent with being the team's No. 3 quarterback as the primary reason. However, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli pointed out Friday that Smith might be more accepting of the new role than some might think (see below). --- The Baltimore Sun's Peter Schmuck writes Saturday that, following Baltimore's addition of veteran QB Bulger, it would be better for all involved if the team traded Smith to the Bills, where he might have a chance to win the starting job. In April, Smith finally signed his RFA tender, but the buzz then was that he could still be traded. At Ravens minicamp in May, Smith addressed his future in saying, "my time will come," according to the Baltimore Sun. He followed that up by saying, "I love it here," although we're pretty sure he'd love it somewhere else where he actually got to play. All of the Troy trade chatter becomes all the more relevant now following the Ravens' signing of Bulger to be their primary backup to Joe Flacco. As ESPN AFC North blogger James Walker wrote following news of the signing, Smith was unhappy as the No. 2, so it stands to reason he'll be even more perturbed at being the No. 3, emergency QB. This doesn't necessarily mean he'll be traded, but he certainly became much more expendable. We've argued before that Smith would be a good fit for Chan Gailey's scheme in Buffalo if the coach decides to run some version of the spread offense, but as of yet we haven't heard anything concrete on a possible trade between the Ravens and Bills involving Troy. Moreover, Gailey has stated that while he won't officially name a starter at QB until sometime during the preseason, he expects to have a pecking order, and it's unclear whether he's open to adding a fifth man to that rotation. One last long-shot option, however, could be the New Orleans Saints, as we wrote earlier. Mark Brunell is likely on his way to the Jets, and the Saints are believed to be close to signing free agent Patrick Ramsey as the veteran backup to Drew Brees. However, the team may want to consider Smith if he is indeed available. ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli writes that Smith might opt to keep quiet and just stick with the Ravens for now: Len Pasquarelli Smith might want to stay put "Even with the addition of Bulger, the Ravens aren't likely to release either of their other backups, Troy Smith or John Beck, before camp opens. Each youngster is scheduled to make just $1.101 million in 2010. And although Smith very publicly asked for a trade through his then-agent earlier this spring, he isn't going to reiterate that request. With new agent Neil Cornrich, the three-year veteran and 2006 Heisman Trophy winner is now content in Baltimore, even after Bulger's acquisition fattened the depth chart. The former Ohio State star is only 25 years old. Although he's appeared in just 14 games (two starts) in three seasons, he is aware of the benefits of being with a solid franchise, and knows that it sometimes takes a few years for a quarterback to get his shot."

NY to raise tobacco tax's

I didn't post speculation. That is exactly what will happen if marijuana is made legal. -

Fingon replied to Jim in Anchorage's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
That's complete bull ****. Prohibitions is driving prices up, and if you don't believe it you know nothing about economics. When it is legal it will be a lot cheaper. There will be vast fields of corporate owned pot, and the price will go down far below the price of tobacco. Marijuana is a weed, it can be grown anywhere, and it can be grown cheaply. You will still have expensive designer strains, just as you can buy very fine tobacco, but the overall cost will decrease immensely. -

Why the hell do you use a Mac then? They're the least functional of the 3, and are for the computer illiterate. You have far more control over Windows and Linux. It sounds like you need to learn a little bit more about computers. Someone who is knowledgeable can build something in a few hours that is far faster, and cheaper than any Mac.
