and I can't get enough of snarky replies that don't add crap to the discussion. Thanks for your valuable contribution.

the other hires Dick Jauron.

I can loan you the money. But I'll need that cooler as collateral.

So, that is a couple pieces of evidence, but clearly not the whole story. What is maddening about this whole conversation is that Ralph fires people all the time. ALL THE TIME. Head Coaches, Assistant coaches, Presidents, GMs,... you name it. Yet no one will admit that this guy must be sticking around for a reason. What would that be? Ralph admitted the team hasn't drafted well, and he has fired everyone else in the past 10 years. So while we can make judgments from outside the organization and draw simplistic correlations about Modrak's abilities - Ralph has clearly decided Modrak has not underperformed despite the lack of drafting success. Clearly, if the simplistic correlations told the whole story - he would be gone with everyone else. So, maybe we just don't know the whole story and people will just have to live with that fact for now.

Read much? "Page 2 contributor Patrick Hruby ventured to find out by comparing dollars spent with games won -- the financial and on-field bottom lines to determine "Bang for the Buck." " Maybe you should leave reading comprehension of sports articles to people who understand complex entities like letters and words better than you obviously do?

Dusty Zeigler was his left tackle that day. That offensive line lineup was absurd. Johnson did as well as could be expected against that defense with that supporting cast.

the only small upside of this recession is the death of publicly financed stadiums. In fact, I think the NFL knows this and this is what their extra fund goes to support in the previous CBA and what they want to increase in any new deal. I don't think one red cent should ever come out of a tax-payer's pocket again for anything for the NFL.

Maybe he could just punch himself between the legs and skip the video?

Where is this being reported?

I didn't realize that he was so attractive to that demographic. I guess you learn something new everyday...

Speaking of the 7th round... Apparently there is an NFL by-law that prevents a team from having more than 10% of all the 7th round selections. This is to prevent the league from slipping back into "dynasty mode" as savvy teams would naturally pursue the tried and true strategy of accumulating the most late round picks to select the most marginal players.

be rewarded with those valuable lower drafts picks? Why should the worst teams be forced to settle with high draft picks and unlimited choice? It is so back-asswards. The NFL needs to see the light and start saddling the best teams with the highest draft picks. Let the bad teams gorge themselves on those juicy late round picks. In fact, I would like to see a lottery system where the worst teams draw balls to see who picks at the bottom of the 2nd round. Thoughts?

I think I would rather club baby seals for a living than have to read the non-stop chatter of the trade-down crowd. Hey guess what - if it was such a great, universal idea - every team would do it.

Myth #1) CJ Spiller will be a white OJ Simpson. Spiller has not reached the hall of fame, has not killed anyone that we know of, and is black. Myth BUSTED. Myth #2) Chan Gailey is the greatest living coach today - in any sport. 4-12? Gailey wouldn't crack my top 5! Myth BUSTED. Myth #3) The Bills 5th round pick will turn the franchise around. The Bills have always sucked in the 5th round and it will NEVER get better. Ever. Wang, Harris, Bowens... Solid proof that our 5th round savior will never be drafted. Myth BUSTED. Myth #4) The Bills wouldn't lose a game this season. You "19-0" jackasses sure do look stupid now! Myth BUSTED. Myth #5) The Buffalo Bills will lineup against the NFC in this year's Pro Bowl. Again, this was just BLOWN out of the water. And it wasn't even close. Myth BUSTED. Hey, just tellin it real and keepin it like it is. No bull fairies and no sugar plum feces.

There were enough straw men in his argument to fill a Nebraskan cornfield. But hey, he got to B word some more, so he feels better. I'm sure he's great to have at parties!

If I were running the Bills, I would try to trade away whatever assets I could and load up on those sweet "perfectly good 5th round picks". Everyone knows THAT is the money round.

After reviewing your rich history of questionable contributions here at Two Bills Drive, we will have to wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors...

and there is the point of all this. I don't control the IRC chat room. Although a good solution back in the day, it was a ROYAL PIA because you had to log in every 3 weeks in order to keep the registration active. If not, you lost the room. I got tired of idiots taking the room from us - that I decided to bag it. Plus, there is no way to enforce usernames. Anyone could sign in as me or you or anyone else and no one could stop it. No thanks. With the integrated chat solution, the chatters are registered board members. Logs are kept for 30 days and members are expected to behave according to the terms and conditions of this site. The IRC chatroom will be going away as soon as I find time to remove the link and the page.

Personally, if I were the announcer - I would have ordered a public Code Red on Fitz's ass. Seems fitting for a person who plays a game for our entertainment.

The new version allows for the suppression of the "X has left the room" messages. This should greatly enhance the usability of the room since that was the number 1 complaint IIRC.

yet, it isn't the official chatroom and I've closed down this thread before.

Simply having a wonderful Christmas time... Is the worst.

about 5 years ago when Baltimore City schools were $45M in debt and unable to find a nickel anywhere, it was discovered that the driver for the Superintendent was making $100k/yr... Nope, no blood in that stone.
