Question for you: would you trade him for, say, 2 guys who have each produced similarly as Williams? Or will you keep him no matter what since he was your 1st pick? I ask b/c the guy who has him in my league has a pretty bad team (he's about to go to 1-4), and has some holes to fill. And I really just need another RB to complete my team, but have some good extra WRs. I'm stuck in the same predicament. Part of me hopes he blows up later in the year like he did last year but it's obvious their offense will struggle most of the year. Just seems like his trade value isn't very high and I doubt you could get much in return.

Don't kid yourself.

Bouncing around the thought of giving you an intervention Jim.

What a waste of a draft pick on Deangelo Williams. Guy is killing me.

Biggest disappointment in the film was the free pass on Obama. Sure he went after Dodd and others in Congress but Obama deserves his fair share.

Trick 'R Treat was a 3/5. Capitalism: A Love Story was a 4/5.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 08:09 AM) Even if its just a cashier, the employer still has a a financial interest in the employee. You don't in your neighbor. Just another example that capitalism is a morally bankrupt concept.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 07:22 AM) I don't care of they get financial gain from it, that part is fine with me. The only thing that bothers me is that the subject of the insurance should get to know, and approve, of it. If that doesn't happen, THAT is when it bad. I'm not ok with it. Why can't I get a policy on my neighbor, hoping that he dies? What gives these corporations a right to do this?

Some more info on them.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 04:21 PM) Yeah, they're just investing a company asset. It costs them money if they lose a senior employee with decades of experience. Saw the movie yesterday. They were providing examples of companies taking out policies on non-management employees. The one example was a cake decorator at a Walmart store. Executive management is one thing but when you're trying to make money on people like that I think something is wrong with the system. And to make matters worse these are called Dead Pheasant policies.

Quit assuming your health care will cover anything important.

Most certainly.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Oct 10, 2009 -> 01:03 AM) Thanks! What's a jib? Origin The jib of a sailing ship is a triangular sail set between the foretopmast head and the jib boom. Some ships had more than one jib sail. Each country had its own style of sail and so the nationality of a sailing ship, and a sailor's consequent opinion of it, could be determined from the jib. The phrase became used in an idiomatic way during the 19th century. Sir Walter Scott used to it in St. Ronan's Well, 1824: "If she disliked what the sailor calls the cut of their jib." There may be an allusion between the triangular shape of noses and jibs in the figurative use of this phrase, but this isn't authenticated.

Pants, I like the cut of your jib.

Boring lectures are your strong suit.
