    "Because we don't like you" was always a viable CB, in my opinion, and one I had to be talked out of on several occasions. Then again, I think that whatever reason an alliance has to attack another is "viable" as there is no governing body to tell us what constitutes a "viable CB". Of course, when attacking another entity, you need to be aware of the consequences (both militarily and politically) of your actions and be willing to accept them ... especially when you know that your CB is one that won't fly with the community as a whole. I openly admit that when I disliked an alliance, I tried to find ways to attack them. I also didn't want to let go of what the community would consider an "airtight CB" if I had one, even if the other party wanted to make ammends. My alliance came to expect a war every couple of months, and come Hell or high water I was going to give them one. :P

    Uhhhhhh, an unarmed man? There was a firefight, it was a combat situation, unless I'm missing something here.

    bin Laden himself was apparently unarmed.

    Well written, Xiph. I echo many of those sentiments. I am glad the man is dead and he did indeed deserve to die ... but the open celebration makes me uncomfortable.

    Hoo, what do you think about the possibility of Cam Newton to the Bengals?

    Doubtful. I think they have had their fill of diva-like players and he doesn't really fit what they want to do on offense. New offensive coordinator Jay Gruden is installing the West Coast offense. Gabbert, Ponder, or Dalton are better fits and the latter two might still be there when Cincy picks in the 2nd.

    Redskins needs a QB but after Gabbert and Newton, no one is worth their 10th pick. If those two are gone, I hope they trade down, get additional pick and draft a QB later down the draft.
    If I were Washington, I'd trade back to land a QB. Shanahan likes mobile QBs though, and I could see them reaching for Locker at #10.
    Locker in later draft is fine not worth the 10th pick though. If the Redskins decides to keep the pick I like defensive end Robert Quinn. He has big potential to be a dominant player. Doubt he will still be available by the 10th pick though. They can go with offensive lineman Mike Pouncey. A bit high for the pick but I think he is going to be a solid player for a long long time.

    Oh I agree that he isn't worth the #10 pick. It isn't about who I would pick though, it is about who I think the 'Skins will pick. :P

    I think that Quinn is a better 4-3 DE than a 3-4 OLB. He might be a better natural pass rusher than Bowers even, but you're right ... he should be gone by #10. I think Pouncey is solid, but a little overrated. I think a lot of people think of his brother and assume he is just as good.
