Thanks for coming to the rescue Pix! I'm sure we'll all reap the benefits!

Yuck!

I'd think that would work...but when I click on the link you have...I just get taken to the main yahoo.page aoddly. But if I hard copy it in there, it works. It's a bit beyond my limited scope of klnowledge. It is a lovely image ...can someone with a little more tech savvy help?

It still all sounds greek to me! I just kep experimenting... Although I can't your sig... it comes up as an "x"

Ahhh! The dice! I have amy a friend that succumb to the dice! I've never felt the bug...I just play blackjack. I'm a numbers guy...so unless I'm at a shoe...I can do OK. After all, they have to pay for all those lights somehow!

Good analogy as well. Although as many times as I've been to Vegas, I've never come close to winning or losing that much! As an accountant by trade, I know the value of money too well, and only play for fun (more in the few hundred realm...just enough to make it interesting...but not enough to worry about my mortgage payment!) I figure, if I lose I'm just paying for the "good time" with freinds and the free drinks! (I usually break even...but drink for free!)

I'm with ya on that! ...and who knows...a guy down on the roster some could end up being a HR hitter...

It is possibly posturing... But Hester has proven his worth beyond his initial contract. He does deserve more...the arguement is how much more.

nfo, regarding your assessment on teams like NE...I could not agree more. Those kinds of organization can take those cahnces...and reel people in. Heck, the Bulls did it with Rodamn in a similar type of situation. If Jordan and Phil Jackson weren't there, it never would have happened.

I do hear you...we need to get base hits on every pick this year. I'd settle for a few triples, and an out. But that's about it. No argument there on Manningham...I really do not want him. But I'd take him at a certain point in the draft...

I hear ya... But I do think much of it stems from these contracts not being guaranteed. It places all the power with the employer...and I think these disputes are the only way the employee can get some power back. Not that I agree with it...but I think that's just the way it is.

He is a tough nut to crack... He's got load of ptential...but that it beyond the return game. I'm happy to get the kid more loot, he's earned it... But we'll see how it shakes out. I have a feeling Sanders is pining for him, and he just eating it up. Sanders is as bad as his agent. I freakin' dislike that blow-hard. As far as honoring contract, I fully undertand your comments, but it's not a similar comparison. Our jobs are not NFL jobs. NFL jobs are like actors or musicians. They live in a non-reality. I don't hate them for it, I'm personally jealous!

Great topic! I really tend to think higher floor guy overall...but, as with many things, it just depends on the circumstance. There are those guys out there that you go for the higher cieling (like a Randy Moss for instance...or McFadden in this draft). My personal attitude is go for more of a sure thing in the first and then get risky after that. But, sometimes that just isn't the case. FYI - I'd rather chance it on Manningham than Kelly. The knees really concern me. As does character...but something guys do mature out of college.

I suppose you never know...but I have a better feeling about Johnson being on the radar than Rice.

Agreed... I'm personlly hoping for Jordy Nelson to fall to us...

I foolow you thinking... I'm not sure we couldn't get Dixon over Colt...but what the hey! Looks OK to me overall...

Yep...but I don't think any of this is a surprise to any of us...there's been talk of Urlacher, Harris and Hester floating around for a while. But, man, I tell you...I've never like Deion Sanders (other than a player), and this just solidifies it.

Excellent! That totally works! Thanks for the updating! Your efforts are not going unappreciated!

Any reason you locked it? I'd actually love to see it updated if possible.

She married a McCaskey...her judgment should be in some question...

With the 29th overall pick from the Indianapolis Colts, the San Francisco 49'ers...after much input from a certian HoF linebacker...have selcted Don Connor, OLB, Penn State. The worst franchise known to man, The Green Bay Pockers are up next! Run by one of the most stand-up guys in an odd twist of events, Pix.

The owners are on the phone...pick to come in any moment now...

BIG BOARD (JA) 1. Jake Long - He is a bonafide stud 2. Chris Long - I just can't pass on this guy...we're not in dire need, but Ogun ain't getting any younger. 3. Matt Ryan - It's all a crap shoot anyway, and this guy looks to have some amazing skills... 4. Glenn Dorsey - I think with the Tommie issues with contract and injury, it can't hurt to stud-up at DT 5. Darren McFadden - I'm scared...there's too much character issue, but he's just too good. 6. Vernon Gholston - Again, I'm hesitant on a DE, but this guy is just too talented. 7. Rashard Mendenhall - Top ten...bingo! 8. Ryan Clady - OK, I will say it was honestly tough to but Mendenhall above him, but I'm more sold on Mendenhall if you haven't noticed 9. Leodis McKlevin - Seems like a good CB - maybe we play with Peanut going to S? 10. Devin THomas - Man, again I'm a bit hesitant...but he does seem darn good. 11. Jeff Otah - I just like him ever so better than WIlliams 12. Chris WIlliams - seems like the real deal...I'm just not fully sold 13. Brandon Albert - looks good 14. Keith Rivers - Maybe we bolster up the LB crew... 15. D Rodgers-Cromartie - Too many names! But he's good....
