Just curious, but why do I keep hearing people in this thread refer to Welker and Amendola as being "clones" and the same height. It makes me think that people haven't seen Amendola play. He looks nothing like Welker on the field. He is a full two inches taller, can line up outside and plays a different type of game. The bottom line, regardless, is that if Amendola stays healthy the Pats have found a great receiver.

Yeah, this guy sounds intelligent. Morons like this should be ignored and left to wallow in their own stupidity.

Exactly my point. I hate to call anyone ignorant because at the end of the day we're all Bills fans, but it amazes me how the people with the most to say and who say it most vehemently seem to know the least about how the world works, especially the business world. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but some (most) people's opinions are just plain wrong.

Personally, I'm fascinated by this. I don't understand all the people who think this makes Nix and the Bills look bad or who are assuming everything he said was true. I run a business in a very competitive industry. I often find myself on the phone with colleagues from across the industry trying to get information, form partnerships etc.. When I have these conversations I usually don't offer 100% truth, yet I tell enough of it to keep the conversation moving. The truth I tell is either something I'm sure everyone already knows or something I want other people to know. My point is what did the rest of the NFL really learn here? Not much. If this was a conversation between Buddy and Russ or Buddy and Doug Marrone, then we'd have a scary situation. My main question...what did Deadspin pay for this? How illegal is the recording or release of it? Can Deadspin or the parties who recorded it be held liable in a civil lawsuit from the NFL/Bills/Tampa? I'm sure Deadspin had their lawyers approve the release, but the NFL is not going to just let people record their GMs and release private conversations publicly. They'll likely look to make an example of the culprits. It really is an interesting situation.

I just saw Scotty Bowman at the airport.

I have to respectfully disagree. I think Andrew Lincoln is a good actor who overacts at times. The actress who plays Andrea, on the other hand, is painful to watch. She's actually killing certain scenes for me. When she talks, I cringe. When she acts tough I laugh. When she took her clothes off...I was o.k. with that.

I remember my first line of coke.

Get over it.

I'm with you. I'll eat pretty much anything unless it's white and gloppy. Hate bleu cheese dip/sauce (love bleu cheese.) Can't stand mayo. However, there's a sandwich place around here. Marco's Italian Deli. They make a chili mayo. It's red so I decided to try it. I would eat it with a spoon if they called it soup.

I just made a comment in another thread that "petitions are super gay." I didn't mean that they prefer same-sex relationships. I just felt that gay describes online petitions perfectly. It's almost a homonym at this point. Gay used to mean happy. Now it has several meanings. South Park had a great episode about this topic and, as usual, they nailed it. And I don't mean that they drove nails into it or had sex with it. The old nature vs. nurture debate. My guess is that it's a little bit of both.

The hatred for the Toronto series is infantile. It provides much needed revenue and exposure to a gigantic market. If you're not smart enough or too thin skinned to understand that, please just let it go. Also, petitions are super gay.

That is the worst professional sports team name I have ever heard.

Exactly. If our skin gets any thinner we'll be Cleveland.

I like your subtle statement that this beaten down Hitler meme is so unfunny that it's on par with changing a person's name to make a joke. Excellent use of satire. Well done.

I didn't read past the topic. Is someone making an argument for Fitz? He's a great guy and all, but anyone who watched him play the last two years knows that he doesn't have enough of the tools. He will either be cut or forced to renegotiate. The bonus served as both a reward if he played well and an escape clause for the team if things turned out the way they did.

It sounds like you're usually on the wrong side of things. Since you're wrong so often then maybe this was a good hire. The Bills should just do the exact opposite of whatever you think.

And the pessimists so badly want to declare this a failure before day one. It's sad. It really is.

Bye.

You, sir, are a bag full of douche.

Nope.

Nah, he decided to go out for a fancy New Years Eve dinner and can't afford two big purchases in the same week.

Yeah, that seems like the most logical option. They don't want this getting out until Bruce Smith, Andre Reed and Darryl Talley are able to fly into town on their unicorns. At that time they will unveil clones of their younger selves who we will sign as free agents.

Thank god.

Anyone watch Louie w/ Louis CK? Talk about life imitating art. Except louie eventually complied.

I may not, and often don't, have any idea what I'm talking about. However, I always thought that pools like these were in the clear as long as there was no house taking a percentage of the fees. I wonder if the portion being donated to charity is what red flagged this?
