So Curtis Enis, Rashaan Salaam, and now Cedric Benson. Bears just need to say NO to drafting running backs in the first round. Laughing

Benson and Lynch are both in trouble om two seperate incidences? man , RBs are dumbasses.

ALex Marvez NFL writer was talking about how the '05 Draft might go down as one of the worst at the rate of all the players either screwing up or being bust.

Lynch update...

The Buffalo News wrote:
The aborted meeting Monday afternoon between Marshawn Lynch’s attorney and Erie County prosecutors virtually doomed any hopes for a quick resolution of the Bills running back’s criminal case.

But that doesn’t mean it increased the chances of Lynch going to jail.

While every case is different, jail time for a first-time defendant charged with leaving the scene of an injury accident would be “quite unusual,” Erie County District Attorney Frank J. Clark said Monday.


I can't stand the Erie County DA. He's a publicity whore that loves to sound of his own voice. When he's one TV talking about the case he acts like this is a murder investigation. It's a misdemeanor.

Clark has had some bad press and wants to make sure it doesn't look like he's giving Lynch preferential treatment. In doing so he's gone too far in the other direction.

I almost hit someone in the same area. People don't watch crossing the street in the Chippewa district.

He hit a pedestrian and drove away, and said he didn't realize
"his car had hit someone" as if his car did it without his knowledge
Marshawn should be fine, however

Willie, on the other hand is likely long, long, gone

you should try to contact his lawyer. seriously. you're the type of witness that is tough to find, but has the potential to give very helpful defense evidence. also helps negotating power for defense to be able to say, i have independent witnesses who will say what my client did can happen any day in that area...

Terence Kiel dies. He was thrown from his vehicle after he hit a wall driving home from a party. No word on whether he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol, but he most definitely was not wearing a seat belt, that's one thing we know for sure.

This is significant to me because he was my Pro Bowl safety on my Madden 2005 squad.

Heard a hilaroius story involving Packer head coach Mike Mcarthy. He was getting sick of the Bret Favre media blitz so he took a day off to spend some time at the Boys and Girls Club. He wanted go there to get away from all the media craziness and hang out with the kids and give a lecture on leadership , life goals,... etc Well , after his 10 minute seminar during the QnA , an 11 yr old girl stands up and asks " is Bret Favre coming back?"... followed by " how old is Bret Favre? " , " why did Bret Favre quit?" ,...etc hilarious.

Jason Taylor is a Redskin

http://www.comcast.net/articles/sports-nfl/20080720/Dolphins-Redskins.Trade/

Funny, when the rumors started that the Packers were interested in Taylor, I joked that Tom Brady would pay for Taylor's ticket to Green Bay personally
This is even better ... Pats played the NFC East last season, Brady likely never gets sacked by Taylor again

Giants trade Jeremy Shockey to the Saints for a 2nd and 5th

ok, not exactly .... but they did win the Super Bowl without him

man the Saints suddenly have a LOT of egos to stroke Laughing

taking my old man with me to see the Pats in Seattle. Part birthday gift for him - he loves football - but being a Pats fan its a thrill for me too of course.

figured he'd flip when he found out what I paid for the tickets (and it was the first question out of his mouth Laughing ) - the markup is about 600 percent on the face value of the ticket.

instead, he instructed me to get us on the season ticket waitlist Cool

sometimes dads can be cool...

Hey, someone other than me reads this topic! Awesome!

So what did you give for the tickets? Hard to believe you already
had to resort to a scalper ... I fucking hate when they buy all the
seats, and make the working man suffer Evil or Very Mad

naw, i used stubhub, cheaper than showtime tickets believe it or not. like, 100 a ticket cheaper.

the face value of the tickets is 100 bucks, so do the math Laughing its a once in a lifetime thing - they never come to seattle and when they return i may not be young and relatively unattached - so the time is now. oh, and its 150 to get in the door as a standee. the tickets were 544 a pop.

but if u figure that the seahawks are a hot ticket, and every year there will be a couple hot tickets out of the 8 home games... talk about an investment opportunity. AND... if they make the playoffs... gravy...

Online scalpers are still scalpers in my book

So the season tickets are $540/seat/game?
Something like 8k for the year (2 seats )?

Have fun at the game Razz

no no, they're 100 a ticket for 8 games. and that's just the point. at a markup of that much, you can't help but make some money off of it. sure, you probably have to buy exhibition tickets too, but a couple of premier games and you've covered your outlay, with 6 more games to sell to make a profit...

Well, that's more like it ... $100 a game for season is nice
well, depends on the seats I guess
But if you can recoux some $ on people willing to pay just to get in
it won't matter what the seats are

for the record, I never liked seeing NFL games at the stadiums
I never had low level seats, mind you, but who does?
Couldn't see shit, players looked like fuckin' ants
Drunks to the left, drunks to the right....unless you were part of
the tailgating crowd, you get mighty annoyed
Cold weather, nowhere to duck during the MANY commercial breaks
I guess if you can get into lower half of the seating, it's all right
Other than the parking nightmare ... and the trying to leave nightmare

yeah only the 200 level (lower level but further back) are 325 a pop... the rest are all around 100 a pop. Getting to the top of the wait list is one thing, getting to the point where your tickets are worth 600-800 rather than 200-400 is another. But, for a 1000 investment, we could be sitting on a 2000-3000 return fairly easily. And if they have a run of home playoff games...
