  1. I echo that.
  2. They are hypocrites.
  3. To a degree yes. But also the country is also the state. There is a dept called the State Dept. Hilary Clinton runs it. The US like Russia, UK, and so many others are nation states.
  4. Well then you have proven my point.
  5. Really. Buf C.J. Spiller Not starting quality so far. Mia Daniel Thomas Not a starter. NE Stevan Ridley Not a starter. NYJ LT Not starter anymore. Cincy Bernard Scott Not a starter. Cle Montario Hardesty Not a starter. Jax Deji Karim Not a starter. Tenn Jamie Harper Not a starter. Den Lance Ball not a starter. Oak Taiwan Jones not a starter. SD Mike Tolbert not a starter. Dal Sammy Morris not a starter. NYG Jacobs no longer a starter Philthy Dion Lewis Not a starter. Chi Kahlil Bell not a starter. Det Maurice Morris not a starter. GB James Starks not a starter. Minn Lorenzo Booker not a starter. Atl Jason Snelling not a starter. TB Kregg Lumpkin not a starter. Zona LaRod Stephens-Howling not a starter. SF Kendall Hunter not a starter. Sea Justin Forsett not a starter. StL Carnell Williams not a starter anymore. Some of these young guys could in time prove to be starter quality but right now they aren't. So I have 24 backups that are not starter level so that would be 8 that have starter quality backing up. So that would be almost none of the teams have 2 solid backs. I guess you hadn't heard that the NFL is watered down with expansion and the talent isn't the same as it use to be.
  6. Because we are in a nanny state.
  7. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-cole_nfl_players_gaming_investments_061611 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Rooney Where have you been to not know that NFL personnel cannot have any gambling interests? This has been a long term rule.
  8. Only Direct TV has ticket. They signed an exclusive deal. Set up a Wi-Fi router and you will have it.
  9. Bobby Rainey, RB, Western Kentucky Looks so much like Sproals. Marc Tyler, RB, USC Nice feet for a big man. I am not sure if he can get the hard yds since he never had to lower his sholder in that entire vid.
  10. Robert Turbin, RB, Utah State Not impressed. Ronnie Hillman*, RB, San Diego State Wow. That kid is pretty nice. Again I can't see he and Rice being able to share snaps.
  11. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/15/mayock-vontaze-burfict-is-not-a-first-round-player-at-all/ </h2> Now maybe if he really falls the Ravens could trade back 5-6 spots get this guy anyway and also some more picks.
  12. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/15/new-casino-could-fund-vikings-stadium/ So the NFL hates gambling until it will fund their stadiums. The NFL is so hypocritical.
  13. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/story/2012-02-08/unprecedented-free-agency/53018280/1 I am curious how this will effect FA. Will it push down contract numbers? Maybe the big boys will make all the cash and then lower level guys will be replaced by rookies. Also teams that can carry over a ton of their cap from last yr can clean up and raid the market.
  14. That is not the point you were making before. I am saying he was underdrafted because his attitude sucked. You were saying it was his size. Many teams would take him. The question is when will they take him? It is about risk reward benefit. The later they drafted him the cheaper he was so if he acts like an ass then you can let him sit and not care. There is a reason why the Eagles didn't give him a new deal. They don't trust him with lots of cash.
  15. So how many teams have a starter quality backup at RB?

  17. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/15/are-the-orioles-for-sale/ But don’t get too excited. The rumor also holds that Angelos wants to retain his interest in MASN and the TV rights to the Orioles, selling just the team. Which makes zero sense as TV rights are a tremendous source of income for an owner. Who would want that kind of a deal? It’d be like buying a movie theater but not taking over the concession stand. Like buying a video store and not taking over the adult section.* There’s just no economic coherence to it. But at least this rumor gives Orioles fans a chance to at least pretend that Angelos may be gone soon. And that’s not nothing. So he wants to walk away from the not profitable part of his business. Nice.
  18. He still has the I will try when I want to or Randy Mossitis. He is a spoiled child.
  19. http://www.footballnation.com/content/desean-jackson-big-plays-and-big-attitude/10938/ His attitude is what allowed him to be underdrafted.
  20. No people who are for the failed war on drugs are for a nanny state. People need to have the right to destroy themselves. The govt should not be legislating morality. Prohibition of any kind does not work. It failed on booze. It has failed on drugs. It failed on gambling. It will fail on tobacco when it gets to that time. There will always want what they are told they cannot have. There will always be people willing to provide that thing for a premium and everyone else be damned.

  22. Also There is no Willis anymore. It would be Ray and McClain as the main backup. It would be my plan a yr later. I thought they should have made him Ray's backup this past yr.
  23. Or you eat to much fried food and die of a heart attack. You fail to get a mamogram and die of breast cancer. Spend to much time in the sun and get skin cancer. There seem to be so many neglegence related ways to die. But you can fall asleep while smoking and light your bed on fire. If people want to destroy their lives however they see fit let them. Bee it driving without a seatbelt, riding a motorcycle without a helmet, smoke, or do drugs. I don't care how they see fit to mess up their lives because I do not want to live in a nanny state. I think people in the US should have the freedoms that our founding fathers decided to fought for. That also includes the right to be stupid and useless.

  25. Vick Ballard, RB, Mississippi State I was not impressed at first. After a few plays he got exciting. Cyrus Gray, RB, Texas A&M He reminds me of Barry Sanders. I don't think he and Rice could exist in the same backfield.
