Gotta laugh at all these people still believing Russ has no say in the football team. Hypothetical scenario...Whaley and the coaching staff are sent packing at the end of the year, and the Bills are looking to replace them. Can anyone, with a straight face, claim that Russ wouldn't be an active part of the search for their replacement? If you really think that, Russ has a car for you to buy.
This might be a bit too radical even for me, but what about stompin' Jimmy Johnson? (shields self)
From what I recall reading, he's the guy Belichick goes to in the off-season to talk football with.
