  1. I have zero doubt that they needed many takes to get that done. To snap the ball to a rec in the bed of a moving truck just once is staggering.
  2. I just find his accuracy amazing. I would never have thought it was possible.
  3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THklo6MDTMU I have no way of evaluating his LS skills. This as a cool set of tricks stands on it's own.
  4. It will be regularly at $5 per gal. We waste to much money on pointless things.

  6. I gave up on him before he was drafted. What you are seeing with Andre Smith for the Bungals is what you will see with Cody. Fat and Lazy.
  7. My prediction is Cody will amount to almsot nothing. It is not a 2nd round thing. If you can hit on the first round you can do the same in the 2nd.

  9. I said elsewhere that about 10 picks later Smith is perfect. If Ozzie trades back again into that area go for it.
  10. Yeah but I do not think he is a 1st round talent.
  11. Like I said I think Baldwin is like Bouldin. The problem with the ravens was they have to many people like that. I think he should be a good WR but it continues the same problem. Young is perfect.
  12. He is pretty good. I like Deunta Williams more. He can also be had in the 3rd round. That makes him a monster value pick.
  13. I am not impressed with Pouncey. He has shown he is not the greatest of OC's. We don't need a guard which is where he should excel. Stefen Wisniewski is the stud OC with Kristofer O’Dowd a strong #2. They both can be had in the 3rd so that is how I would think. I agree with your assesment with Jones. If he is there fix your WR corps for a change. If he is not there I think pass rush or CB are a must. There are endless pass rushers to be had in this draft. Harris, Williams, or Smith will be at 26. I like all of them.
  14. The ones I like: Julio Jones I have seen 1 or 2 mocks with him making it to Bmore. I doubt he is there though. True beast. Torrey Smith I like him but not at 26. Starting about 10 picks later he is a great pick. Titus Young This kid will be great but only starting as a 2nd rounder. Leonard Hankerson in the 2nd he would be a solid pick. He can stretch the field some. Jerrel Jernigan I see as a high 3rd. He works the middle very well. He doesn't go down easily. He is pretty fast too. Terrance Toliver As a late pick I love his frame. Not easy to get down. Cecil Shorts He is Div 3. He looks like a stud among scrubs. He has staggering stats but again Div 3. Ronald Johnson Disappointing results at USC. Has the tool though. As a late pick and some time learning could be a steal. Edmund Gates He is a speed demon. He is faster than everyone he was playing with in school. Can he break through a jam. Denarius Moore He is pretty fast and big. DeAndre Brown Late sleeper. I like what he can do. Derrell Johnson-Koulianos Could be a solid late round sleeper. Guys I like but I don't think fit the holes the Ravens have. Tandon Doss I am not sure how fast he is. He reminds me of Randal El. Jonathan Baldwin I like him but he is a Quan clone. He would be perfect in about 2 yrs. Greg Little Very much like Baldwin. Austin Pettis Another one like Baldwin. Dwayne Harris A bigger Mason.
  15. I was blown away during the post season to see that pick. The one and only pick used the whole season.
  16. I actually wrote about him months ago. The bench test only proved what I already knew. He is strong as a bull. He is also fast and powerful.
  17. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/27/oregon-states-paea-breaks-combine-bench-press-record/ This guy will be a stud.
  18. Well the murder rate is actually on the seller side not the buyer side. Of course there are exceptions to that rule but by and large that is the case. If legalized the total cost of buying drugs would probably go down. There would be no more lost drugs via seizures which drives up costs and in turn the price of street drugs. I would see a fairly high tax dropped on them for several reasons. One you do not want them being to cheap. I would expect rehab would be funded exclusively from drug sales. Also the Govt would also look to make revenue above and beyond rehab. You can't have the price being to high either. Then again you create a black market with the violence that goes along with it. I expect to see your first police officer murdered for cigarettes here in MD within 10 yrs. They have so driven up the price on smokes that a flourishing black market has begun bringing in cheap cigs from out of states. The question is when will the price be willing to shoot the cop that catches you with an illegal truck full of smokes. As to the drug gangs. Many of them will legitimize like Joe Kennedy and many other booze runners did. The costs would drive down substantially if drugs were legalized. First the incarceration of millions of users would end. In that it costs about $47000 to house an inmate a yr and there about 504000 ddrug users in prisons (not in jail waiting for trial) it costs abou 23.688 billion to keep them. Then you have the vast number of police and drug enforcment around to catch them. Bmore has about $3000 officers for a small jurisdiction. They need that many to fight a war on drugs. If they were legal the number they need to patrol the streets would be halved at least. The DEA could be wiped away or at least dramatically diminished. In 2009 their budget was about 2.6 billion. If you add all the wasted expense of fighting a pointless war on drugs at the federal and state level it would have to cost us about a half trillion. BTW MD will be building a new prison in Jessup soon. Again I look at the cato institute research from Portugal and it's lower drug usage and I say that welfare, food stamps, social services needs go down. Also their Aids rates went down. So those expenses would reduce. So put together the expense of a drug war infrastructure and the tax revenue from the sales of drugs. Also add in the income tax revenue from people who currently pay no taxes on their funds made and you are seeing huge amounts of cash. Also We pay farmers in this country to til under their crops when harvests are to successful. We can have farmers growing weed, coca, peyote, and other plant forms of drugs. That would also save our forest land that currently is often being turned into hidden farms. That is more money saved and more tax revenue generated.
  19. http://articles.cnn.com/2008-08-18/justice/prison.cellphones_1_cell-phones-prisons-inmates?_s=PM:CRIME They are trying to get permission to put jamming devices in the prisons to stop them. It is currently an FCC violation.
  20. Yeah CO's are in it much of the time. They now sneak in cell phones so prisoners can run their outside business while inside. I look at the Black Gorilla Family here in MD as an example of what is really happening.
  21. Some movies are just to sophisticated for some people.
