women's golf? yaaaaaaaawn

Time for you to watch that movie again. It's "Mean Machine, Mean Machine". By the way-- those films are all listed-- it's a top 50 listing. Caddyshack only made it to the top twenty (unless you are one of those folks who don't consider it a sport )

stupid? more like worth the embarassment

Affirmed?

The whole game-- it was worth watching for a change.

Riiiiiight. Tell me again how they helped the Predators beat the Storm then.

well that certainly narrows down the choices-- LOL

I meant the write in candidate, not a "Mickey Mouse"-like candidate. You know-- the silent protest against the election where people put in anything as a write in candidate. Perhaps "Beavis" would have been more relevant. uhhhhh..... heh heh .... Shut up, Beavis. Sorry to hear you lost by two votes-- was there a recount? You know how much we like recounts here in Florida.

I heard an analogy on TV this morning that made me laugh. They were talking about the recall of California Gov Davis as being a method of overturning the outcome of the election. The analogy(paraphrased): "This is like the Raiders recalling the loss to Tampa Bay in the Superbowl so they could try again" Yeah-- sure-- like the Raiders would even come close to beating the Bucs if they had to play them again. The Bucs are a better team all-around. Elections-- well-- you could be the best politician in the world and still lose to Mickey Mouse as a write in candidate.

Actually, he said that he never said anything like that-- it was the media who put this so-called quote out there. They are good friends off the court but he does admit that they have disagreements on the court. Kidd is not concerned that the team lacks the right coach-- he is concerned that they don't have the firepower to win a championship. For this reason alone, he wants to move on to play in San Antonio. He wants a ring-- that is why they all play the game and I don't blame him one bit. Who ever said he was freaking Magic Johnson BESIDES you Steve? Magic is a legend of the game, like Jordan/Bird. Kidd has got great skills but until he starts throwing down some championships, no one will ever even start to equate him with those three guys.

Well-- if you want to get completely crazy about it, they could attempt to pay the league minimum for all their players. That minimum is based on years in the NFL and goes up incrementally. Something like 300,000 (rookie) to 500,000 (3 years) to 700,000 (5 years). Not sure if you have to declare a franchise player, but that would mean you must pay someone at least equal to the top five for their position. So maybe you declare the punter your franchise player (which may very well be true with this group of scrubs you have acquired). The point is that no team would bother doing that because they would draw squat and be out business faster than a Jeffrey Daumer sausage stand. I do not know if there is a league minimum you have to pay as a team. The point is you will not suceed in making any profits if you go that route as a team or as a business. It's pointless to even think of doing this-- you just make your team **** near worthless and therefore would lose cash from the purchase price (unless you are Art Modell).

The current salary cap establishes no floor whatsoever. they could pay less but the talent would be non-existent. No pay = no players = no championship

Last year on the way to the stadium to see a Bucs game, Eddie D passed us in a Police car led caravan. He probably just flew in/helicoptered in to Tampa airport (we were on Spruce). Must be nice to have that kind of ca$h. I would like to see him take over the Bucs and perhaps even act with one scant bit of decency in terms of raking the Tampa Bay community over the coals. Anyone see the latest issue with the Sports Authority trying to give ownership of the stadium to Hillsborough county (to avoid property tax)? The Glaziers are trying to piggy back in FREE terrorist/storm disaster insurance costing about $1 MM a year just to let the TSA make this simple move. SO any money they might save by giving the property goes where? You guessed it-- straight into the Glaziers pockets. Man they are the greediest bastards on the planet. How many zillions did they just make off the Superbowl victory? They still need more handouts from the people of Tampa. Screw them TSA-- keep the property, do not offer up the additional insurance, and let the property tax money go to where it truly belongs-- Hillsborough County.

New Jersey will be a tough series. I'm hoping the Bolts have grown enough in this series to make a run at it. The guys they've picked up this year and the young guys we stuck with have really made great strides. Bulin Wall Rules!
