what's the latest on that avatar bud?

Past history is not indicative of future results... My bet is that, at least for the upcoming season, this guy is going to be a monster AND well-behaved. He will be out to prove his critics wrong. A contending team would be wise to get him on a short contract filled with behavioral clauses.

You are mistaken, it is named as such because of the AFL/NFL situation before the merger. No one gives a rat's ass about the CFL.

It is a scene from Shallow Hal...

how do you see him when the camera is on the QB?

welcome to the offseason...

don't worry, there aren't many hard ons for Mike Williams around here...

I have had a hell of a time with the fingers these days and typing "the"...

I don't think so.

then click teh little minus sign in the upper right hand corner in teh dark blue area where it says "The Stadium Wall Subforums". That will collapse that area and you won't have ot scroll as much.

playing Miami in early Sept. is never a good idea...

ok, to try and help - I googled "west virginia hot chick"... Up came this site: http://springfield.date.com/girls-dating/westvirginia2.htm scroll down to the bottom. This chick is looking for: "Looking for Mr. Normal - Looking to meet someone normal, who likes doing normal things and is not a wacko."

where did you get the picture?! I could care less what name her momma gave her.

whose the chick in the avatar?

or 5... +/- 60% is usually acceptable error. Unless those added three sacks were his TD passes that game.

I guess Tom won't be receiving a Christmas card from you?

Some people are in the HoF with those exact credentials!

I was being sarcastic.... no one wanted him here, but me and a few others.

I love Seattle too... which should be enough for you to reconsider your pick.

Do you think you could consolidate your thoughts into a single thread instead 10?

P.S. As my new avatar indicates - this whole situation reminds me of Shallow Hal. BillsNation gaze upon Marv as Gweneth Paltrow, yet the rest of the world views him as Rosie O'Donnell... The question is, which group needs the glasses?

It is a question that cannot be answered, but I put Polian 1st and the HoF players he stocked the team with 2nd. In my mind, Levy was always a distant 3rd... I guess I remember all the arguments about us being outcoached back then (arguments that never seem to be made about Gibbs, Parcells, and company). I remember him being shown the door by a disgruntled fan base (again, not something other HoF caliber coaches face). And most importantly, I look at the 40+ positions that have been filled since Marv's departure w/o a single team giving him the clipboard. A HoF coach that no one (in the position of actually hiring a coach) wanted. Even after he begged to coach, no one wanted him. Can you conceive of Joe Gibbs suffering such a fate? Parcells? Walsh? The list goes on... So, while the NFL may have respect for Marv and the way he handles himself - the proof is in the pudding. He was a coach that made it into the HoF, that no one else wanted when he was available... Does that not strike you or anybody else as very, fuggin' weird? I do. If I was so wrong in my assessment, if I was so offbase - why wouldn't another team - any team - take a flyer on him? Polian, despite his kind words, didn't even hire him for Indy. He claims to have "pushed" for him to get back into teh league, just not for his team... That is a vote of confidence for you. There is an awful lot of smoke here. I can listen to teh Bills faithful who tell me he walks on water, or I can take note of the 31 other NFL teams that could give a flip about him. I guess the latter holds more weight to me. But, that is just my opinion.

I know I mentioned the "timeliness" of Marv's quote in another post in this thread, but I also forgot to mention the other reason why this is relevant. This whole "we are going after high character guys" is such utter BS and the fact that Marv mentioned it in his PC just further cements my image of him. As is evidenced by this thread - no one can even define what Marv means by "character", but it sure sounds good. Like a politician who is for education and for civil rights, who isn't going to cheer for that? Who says - "I want complete lowlifes on my team!!!"? GG thinks character means (if Marv is consistant frm past to present) playing hard between the whistles. Does TO not play hard? Did Deion Sanders not play hard? Did Bryan Cox not play hard? Are these the character guys that we are considering or avoiding? Would Steve Smith find a place on this team? He does a lot of celebrating... My point is - this whole "character" thing is equivalent to the CEO announcing the company will pursue "synergy". It's a buzz word that means squat. The Buffalo Bills need football players who have more talent than the other teams and they need better coaches who put those players in positions to take advantage of that talent. It is really that simple. No string of corny cliches have ever beaten a football team...

I have no problems with that, his memories are his memories, but when you write something like that (the passage in question) that is just so easily dismissed then it isn't out of line to call him on it.

The biggest showboat of all was Bruce, who actually played way beyond his usefulness to get a sack record. The ultimate "look at me" pursuit...
