stuckincincy Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 What does me not paying for the Bengals stadium have anything to do with 2+ million being the going rate for a good kicker? Think global - see the big picture - don't be captious.
Ramius Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Think global - see the big picture - don't be captious. Lets see... 1. Teams like to have good kickers 2. The going rate for a good kicker is 2+ million. 3. The Bengals have a good kicker who was set to be a FA. 4. Instead of letting him hit the market, the Bengals franchise tag him, paying him 2.5 million, ensuring themselves they will retain their good kicker and not lose him. 5. Other teams this season and previously have franchised kickers to keep them around. Thats the big picture. I'm not sure where your crazy old man rantings about taxpayers paying money for the Bengals stadium fits in this discussion about kickers and the franchise tag - although i'm surprised that you haven't blamed the franchise tag on liberals yet.

What does this have to do with the 10% prepared food tax on the creme filled donut you eat every morning?

Not a bad retort. I'm pulling that 3M grant I gave to the FSU Chemistry department last year, though. I'll tell 'em you inspired me.

Beerball Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 Do you still drive that Blazer? rut-ro
Ramius Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Do you still drive that Blazer? nope, never drove a blazer.
stuckincincy Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 rut-ro I still have my '98 S-10 as my daily driver...bodywork...it's a bit rough. Not much rust to speak of - beer bumps. '98 Blazer, S-10 folks? Have a problem? I can help.
DrDawkinstein Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 although i'm surprised that you haven't blamed the franchise tag on liberals yet. HAHA, regardless of the context, one of the funnier things ive seen posted here in a while
stuckincincy Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 nope, never drove a blazer. Thought you did. Oh well.
VABills Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Thought you did. Oh well. What does that have to do with donuts?
Ramius Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Thought you did. Oh well. Close. 2000 S-10. Not too unlike yours.
H2o Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 We went from talking about some guy's garbage mock to people's vehicles You guys are hillarious.
SuperKillerRobots Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 They spent their franchise tag on kicker Graham...an astounding 2.5 M. And in the one-sided deal of the century - Brown no longer pays rent on the stadium. As of this January, Hamilton County is obligated to start paying him for the privilege of remaining in town. Voters...eh? This guy makes any Buffalo sports team owner look like freakin' Santa Claus.
lets_go_bills Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Hell, if Curry is there at pick 5 I say trade UP for him.
