Stafford makes more than Peyton?lol
Kastrioti is fine on the Stafford thing. At least Stafford isn't an unredeemable asshole of the highest degree like Suh. Him defending Suh is the hilarious part!
Peyton makes more in commercials anyway

And Stafford's probably a big customer of Papa Johns.

20 mil for Fatsford? There is officially no contract Ozzie could give Joe that would look crazy next to that.

That trickle down economics!
Yeah when considering that, Peyton has to make double since Stafford has to train with pizza anyway. You can't look that good otherwise.
That's true. But Ozzie isn't crazy anyway. I wish the Patriots had him since Belichick doesn't seem to be able to draft defensive backs and Ozzie does.

Correct me if I'm wrong but was Ozzie Bill's GM in the Browns days?

We're not winning the Super Bowl this year, next year, or the year after that. Cam's a bum and we should be looking to trade him.
The pessimistic thing worked for BLarry , let me try it and see what happens
I think he was in the front office, I don't think he became GM till after the Ravens won that SB in 2001. Bill was the head coach in the early 90's so I don't know how much overlap there was.

How many Jack in the Box Hot Mess burgers can you buy with $20 million?
Alright I am getting my profit sharing money from my old job and decided to update the wife's vehicle, 2004 Explorer. It needs some repairs that cost slightly less than what it is worth. We are leaning towards a truck and have narrowed it down to 3 models:
Ford F150- TONS of used stock here. Texas is truly F150 country
RAM 1500- Hard to find the V6 model but they exist and the cool Paul Harvey commercial
Toyota Tundra- harder than the Dodge to find the V6 but dependable
What say you?

Stafford was the last year of that insane Rookie gauge wasn't he?
Nope, Bradford the year after was

Just looked it up, you're right. Ozzie was a front office executive while Bill was the Browns head coach from 91 to 95. Ozzie became GM in 2002.
So many used F150s. Should be able to find a good deal. I really like the full size Toyotas and Nissans
I can say this for my '04 Toyota, I've used it for work and racked up 120000+ miles and have never done anything beyond regular/recommended maintenance on it. I'm due for a new one, but can't justify it until this one breaks down at least once.
The only reason Ben is on the list is because they keep reworking the contract to get under the salary cap, he'll probably be an even bigger hit to the salary cap next season.
Yeah. My wife wants the Platinum Edition. JNC...bastards start at 36 grand used. Looking at some XLT's Texas Edition
I actually like the Tundra but the V6 models are near impossible to find and the V8 gets pretty shitty gas mileage.

If you buy a tundra i'll never let you live it down. I live close enough now to make that a reality!
You've been warned!
My uncle is an oil filed gauger. Maybe 80k miles a year, a lot of it on bad terrain. New truck every year. Switched to Toyota about 5 years ago after being a Ford guy forever. Really good truck for people who actually need trucks

Uhm, what?
Tundra is an urban cowboy mobile and nothing else. Toyota actually had to recommend taking the damn tail gate off before loading an ATV in the bed because it would crack the damn thing! Some truck that is. Ford put a handle and step on theirs.
Ford/Chevy/Dodge own work and for good reason. When i was in the military, our fleet was always comprised from the 'big 3'. These vehicles are beat to hell and back, ill maintained, and always keep coming back for more.
Tacos are nice and pretty much the only option if you need a small truck.
EDIT---
If you aren't going to be doing much heavy towing or anything, I'd recommend a 2013 V6 Ram. The new pentastar/8speed is a really nice and efficient combo. 25mpg highway in a full size truck is pretty impressive
Something tells me that Mech's wife doesn't actually need a truck. I suggest an Escalade.
All I can say is I have a whole side of the family that beat the shit out of their trucks, and it's Toyota, Nissan, and Ford. They won't touch Dodge or Chevy. They aren't Nascar people siding with their favorite driver. They drive what works and it's those three
My Dodge Avenger has the Pentastar V6 in it. lol

does it have an 8speed transmission? No... it does not!

That's cool. As long as you know your family is in the minority. Barely anyone buys Tundra's or Titans and even less buy them for work.
For the full year in 2012
Ford/GM/Dodge sold 1,514,176 Full Size Trucks
Toyota/Nissan sold 123,197 Full Size Trucks
it was close!
Mayhew currently is, probably a nice long extension. Someone, mlive.com?, was speculating that the Lions cap space after the renegotiation would be 20million. Which would be crazy, since its between 3-5million currently.
Support my hometown, get the F150! My dad's was an excellent work truck.

How cute. People in the flyover states arguing about which hickmobile is the best for getting to and from their local McDonald's and welfare office.
Nobody cares, hillbillies.

Let's not pretend that when people say "flyover states" they aren't also talking about most of New York state as well. Buffalo has more in common with Cleveland than New York City.

Christ, isn't there a NASCAR race or some shitty gun show for you to be at? Texas hasn't been relevant since the Alamo, and y'all even fucked that up. Way to be famous for losing, Texas!

Same situation with Eli. They converted part of his salary last season to a bonus (6.5 million IIRC). They will do the same with him again after the draft this season...

Does he actually live in Buffalo? I can't keep track of where everyone in here lives

Not my fault you Neanderthals don't care about the planet. You probably don't even drink free trade coffee.
I live in the greatest state in the country, the Republic of California.

You might as well be living in a 3rd world country. You should come visit sometime. It's like a trip to the future. You will see all kinds of cool shit your poverty town will get in about a decade or so!

Statistics aren't the only reason I consider Stafford elite, but it sure helps. How many 23/24 year old QBs throw for 10,000 yards and 60 TDs along with having probably the strongest arm in the league? Can't think of any in league history.
Stafford will probably renegotiate his contract this year but even if he doesn't I have no problem giving that amount of money to a stud, young QB. As long as Stafford is healthy and leading this Lions team I'll be confident in our success in the future.

Look, you can't insult the characteristics of other states and cities when your team's city has all the same things going for it regardless of where you may actually live. I only grew up in Milwaukee but have lived in Arkansas and now in Texas but I still recognize that insults hurled at Wisconsin are directed at me as well.
