Some sort of Captaincy Quickening?

serve it up. nice and hot.

>:-(

He's still on the payroll.

Well, we know who the second compliance buyout needs to be used on...

I just want him to go crazy through 50 games next year to ensure maximum deadline return.

Our language is terrible with its linking of negatives. We can't blame ourselves. We can only blame the English and the Queen.

It is not. Explanation in the McCabe thread.

You are correct about the 3 vs 2 year age thing, but that is different than slide. http://capgeek.com/faq/how-does-an-entry-level-contract-slide

McCabe's contract will not slide. even if he doesn't play a single game. He's already 20, so his contract starts as soon as he signs it. Might as well play in buffalo if the contract starts now anyway.

all 5 of those assumptions could fail, and we could still ice a better roster than we currently have. The team has hit rock bottom. Your assumptions are what is required for this team to be a good team, not a better team.

Exactly. This is only a fill-up 2 days before payday. A Half Tank, if you will.

Article says phone hearing.

It is World Autism Awareness Day. Autism Speaks got them the light the Empire State Building in Blue tonight. That's pretty cool. I've seen what just three months of totally intense intervention has done for my son. While he still has emotional out bursts, he has started to identify the actions that help him calm down. This week, several times when he has exploded into one of his frustration-with-how-the-world-works rages, he has run to his room, grabbed his doggy pillow-pet and squeezed it hard (pressure is a common soothing method for ASD kids, one of Temple Grandin's great gifts to the ASD community). The first time he did it on his own, my wife and I literally just stood there in stunned awe. It's not some magical development, his OT had been working with him on this for weeks. Intervention works. Additionally, while Ollie still can't communicate in what we would recognize as a conversation, on Monday we had a great day. After dinner, I told him we were going swimming. He immediately walked into his room and awaited the installation of his swimsuit. Once we had his coat on, he walked to the back door, walked down the stairs holding my hand (we have a second floor apartment) and got in the car on his own. At the YMCA, he got out, held my hand in the parking lot, and practically ran up the stairs and to the locker room. The whole time he followed my verbal instructions ("Hold the railing", "Hold my hand", "This way", etc.) and I didn't need to carry him once. This is mostly huge because he is pushing 50lbs now, and I am a 6' tall 140 lbs soaking wet. We were not selected to be father/son based on my capacity to carry him around. Again, none of this is a spontaneous development. His Speech Therapist has been working on following verbal instructions for months. Intervention works. Today's designation comes from the UN. Autsim isn't just an American Problem. My wife has begun a business relationship with a woman who runs a global autism charity. MOST of the kids who have ASD on this planet don't have access to the programs that we have here in the US, and especially in the Great State of New York. I can't imagine what would be made of my son, or Swamp's daughter, or any of the other Sabrespacelings with ASD in a region of the world with no real awareness of Autism. I find "Awareness" days often times to be trite and useless. Everyone is aware of cancer. We don't need awareness, we need science. This one is different for me, and not solely because I am immediately affected, I am immediately affect by cancer as well. It's different because the biggest weapon to help these particular kids right now is awareness. Early awareness to help drive interventions like those helping Ollie. Awareness of how these people are helped so kids like Swamp's daughter can get the treatments that work without needing pager numbers and home-made purification labs. So I encourage everyone to read something about Autism today, and more importantly, talk about it with your families, friends, anyone. Help people understand that, while it is still a huge mystery, we have some great tools, we just need to be aware of what they are, and who needs them.

He will also be out 6-8 weeks with post concussion symptoms.

Oh no! Your wagon has capsized!

So,Ovi is Marian Hossa 2.0?

Remember that time that all of the teams anyone here had a rooting interest in lost in the first round. That was a sad time.

That public service brotherhood is awesome. I have several Volunteer Firefighters in my family. They genuinely mourn whenever they hear of a firefighter or police officer passing in the line of duty. Even if that officer is 500 miles away.

Seriously. Essentially you're taking Boston, narrowing the streets, making them even LESS organized and straight, moving the buildings close to the road, and giving everyone 3-4 shots of espresso or glasses of wine prior to hitting the road. Oh, and sprinkle in scooters and motorcycles to fill in any available space between the cars.

I needed to include you for the plausibility of the Illuminati Claim.

Do you and GoDD work for the Bills? Are you only posting here in an attempt to stop the flow of WNY sporting dollars away from the Football Franchise? We're you hired by the Team, or the NFL? CBS? The Illuminati? WHO DO YOU WORK FOR!?!?

Scoring clutch goals to win the game?

Few, possibly none, are saying must. most, possibly all, are saying can. The difference is immense.

I completely agree with this, but I can see the NFL execs saying something along the lines of, "they did it wrong before, we can do better."
