TSN Radio:Bills swap 12 for 16 & Corey Williams?

[ND72]

I love rumors that start with the words There seems to be thinking.

There seems to be thinking around Green Bay that everyone thinks we're going to do something, but generaly we don't.

Good post, motife.

Jonathan Sullivan also had "motivation problems" (i.e. he was lazy).

Alan Branch is the ultra-talented but motivationally-challenged guy in this draft, in the Sullivan, Haynesworth etc. mold. I don't see it with Okoye. But then again, I could be wrong.

All I'm saying is that Corey Williams will never be a Kevin Williams/Richard Seymour/Marcus Stroud/Tommie Harris type guy. Okoye could be.

I'll take a pass on any information provided by "Patty" at chatters. Seriously.

You know what guys? My ass farted tonight and it sounded like it said GB trades 1st and 2nd for Indianapolis's 4th. It must be true.

And yes, it was a very long fart.

Thanks for specifying it was your ass that farted. I would have been confused.

Somehow, I would tend to believe your statement, even with the smiley face at the end.

Okoye is very intelligent though.

Okoye's also a high character guy. Haynesworth and Warren were thugs and Sims was lazy.

Samkon Gado is also a high character guy--with great speed and power. Doesn't always mean the guy can play. Okoye may end up being great, but that's the one position where I don't like taking a guy unless he's super talented and super productive with a can't miss tag. There seems to be more mistakes made on first round DL than any other position. Not only do I not want us to give up Williams to trade up for him, I don't see a single DL in this draft worth trading up for.

Thanks sweetie

i would give my left nut for okoye, and.....

If you did something like that then I couldn't look at you the same. You'd be half the man you used to be.

[BallHawk]

I agree with Harv, DL in the first round are as risky as it gets. With DL there is no such things as a "sure thing," except when Julius Peppers was coming out.

You all remember this man, don't you?

[swede]

AAAAAGH!

The pick that led to Joe Johnson that led to 4-12!

Once the draft is over almost all the "rumors" and made up BS, will end.

February, March, and April is the time of a lot of talk. Doing it here or around the water cooler is fine. There are good ideas that never happen.

When sports writers do it and then hear about a colleague saying something and so on until it becomes "the buzz in league circles" it gets out of hand.

Last year ESPN Insider said the Raiders would trade for Brett Favre. The fool who wrote it did not even look at how little cap room the Raiders had. It wasn't plausible and very poor journalism.

While I have been a fan of football for decades it does not make me an insider. I have moral limitations that prevent me from passing myself off as an inside expert and lying to people about what may happen in the NFL.
I don't have the killer instinct to take advantage of the gullible. "Arrigo" and "Patty" have an odd psychological need for what they do.

I'm glad to see some "Emporer has no clothes" and "ignore the man behind the curtain" type posts are showing up this year regarding "Patty" and "Arrigo". They can't fool all the people all the time.

Being snooty does not make one an expert.


Trumpeting my own horn:
As a personal triumph, I suggested last year(on Packer Chatters) the Packers should draft an OT to get ready for the day that Clifton and Tauscher are no longer around.

"Patty" poo-poohed the idea as Clifton and Tauscher were fine backed up by Kevin Barry. Guard, D-line, WR, were more vital needs. She said I was ignorant of the circumstance and unaware of what I was talking about.

Well Colledge, a Tackle, was drafted, started, gained experience while awaiting moving to OT. Moll, a Tackle, was drafted and filled in while Tauscher went down with an injury.

Thanks "expert"Patty.

Skinbasket keeps a donkey in his house. Thus, his ass farted.

[motife]

p.s. I posted this only because Patty said she was using Sporting News Radio as her source.

Anybody care to come up with a thread where we can catalog there "rumors" and then go back once they have been proven to be incorrect...maybe even come up with some percentages as to how often they get it right. It would be entertaining to say the least.

Everybody loves a good barbecue, right?
