Finale wrap up:

I see you guys are once again leaving out Cody Kessler. It's all good though, I'm going to have lots of threads to go back to and say "I told you so" in the coming years. Big arms are overrated, accuracy and decision making are key. I put him as my "best value" pick as I think he'll be a 2nd or 3rd round pick next year and have him 3rd behind Cook and Goff as my best prospects. Most overrated? I go with Jones and Hackenberg. Everyone knows about Hackenberg, but I think Jones is overrated too. The guy had one great game out of 3. He did not play well against Alabama and against Oregon he was just OK. Considering all 3 of those teams were trying to stop the unstoppable Elliot who racked up over 200 yards in each of those games, his numbers should have been more impressive IMO. The guy plays 3 games, only 1 of the a great game, and all of the sudden he's a first round pick? I don't buy it, not yet at least.

That's a very interesting point that I have never really considered. Makes perfect sense.

I agree with every thing you said in this post. The fact of the matter is, that if you went back about 2000 when X-Men came out and superhero movies really started to take off, there has been an average of roughly one good one per year. 2000 - X-Men 2001 - None 2002 - Spider-Man 2003 - None - X2 was just OK IMO 2004 - Hellboy 2005 - Batman Begins 2006 - V for Vendetta, XMen Last Stand 2007 - None 2008 - Iron Man, The Dark Knight 2009 - Watchmen 2010 - Kick-Ass 2011 - Thor, Captain America 2012 - The Avengers, Dark Knight Rises 2013 - Iron Man 3 2014 - Guardians of the Galaxy 2015 - Maybe Ant-Man, haven't seen it yet. That's right around 1 per year. The rest of them were either terrible or just m'eh.

That's insane.

Superhero movies have Jumped the Shark. They were cool when there was about one coming out per year. But now it's like 6 of them a year, reboots of franchises that are less than 10 years old, repetitive story lines, horrific acting, and the same formula...spend entire budget on special effects and marketing, screw a storyline and good actors.

That's amazing, I've got the same combination on my luggage.

Takes two to tango my friend. If they offered anything, I'm sure Whaley would consider it very seriously.

Those are good balls.

It's not legal to drive under the influence of it anywhere. So it would still compound it.

holy crap, that's bad, really bad.

I don't care if they are on national TV ever. I prefer our own broadcasts, just sucks for you out of town fans without an NHL package though. But it is weird though how we were on so much last season in an obvious tanking position and are on less than half the number of times with an exciting, young, much improved (hopefully) squad with one of the best US born rookies in a long while (Kane?).

I like that.

I think it should be for TDs and Wins only. It should also be allowed to be played anywhere the majority of the fans are Bills fans watching the game. Stadium, Local Bars, Bills Backers Bars, whatever. At your own house (with less than 20 people there) should not be acceptable (unless it's a SB then all is fair game). It's a fun song especially in a party type atmosphere when the Bills are winning. I always thought it was a little late to wait until after the Extra Point, but it does fill some of the down time between that and a kick-off. I think it's also lame for FGs as those are failed drives IMO.

That article is out of date, that is what he thought he had and he tried to play through it. It was later discovered to be a sports hernia. http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/jadeveon-clowney-sports-hernia-junior-season-south-carolina-062714 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000361948/article/jadeveon-clowney-played-through-hernia-injury-in-13 Yeah but if you just take into account the first two healthy seasons that is not the case. Mario had only 11 sacks in his first 2 college seasons, Clowney had 21. I'm not going to refute any comment on his work ethic though, as I agree it has raised questions all throughout his career. When you are such a dominant physical specimen in HS and even CFB, you may not have to be the hardest working guy to be successful. That changes at the NFL level though.

He had a sports hernia his entire final season at SC. That's pretty tough to play with I would imagine. This is patently false. He was a dominant force his sophomore season with 13 sacks and 23 tackles for loss. His size and speed combo was something that had NEVER been seen before. At 6'6 265 he ran a 4.53 40 WITH a sports hernia injury lingering. He was also the #1 player coming out of HS and was performing like it his Freshman and Sophomore seasons. Anyone who follows CFB and NFL Prospects knew of him long before that one hit.

Only one who voted Raiders so far. This is my sleeper team of the year.

Bo Jackson, Christian Okoye, John Randle, Prime Time.

I gave him an A with the Bills and B with the Sabres. He held on to Darcy too long and this LaFontaine train wreck was a bit embarrassing for the organization. However, Murray looks to be a fantastic hire and every owner is going to have growing pains. Let's not forget the job that Kim is doing as well though as a co-owner. The non-sports entertainment side of the Sabres has improved greatly since she took over that aspect.

I don't know about that, but he sure doesn't look anything like Velcoro's boy.

Revis just revealed this week or maybe last that he actually had microfracture surgery on his knee as well when he was out. He said he finally felt 100% in like week 6 or 7 LAST SEASON. His injury was in October of 2012. It's a long recovery process and a painful one, but you can come back from it. You are probably more thinking of older athletes and taller athletes (NBA's Greg Oden for example) where it is much more difficult to come back from. Certainly not an easy road, but if he works the rehab the right way, he can come back full speed.

Were they intentionally playing the Where the Streets Have No Name horribly? It sounded terrible, but Desire sounded just fine.

This article is from May. No way EJ is getting cut. Ain't happening. Exactly.

Oh my, what is this, the 45th threat started about Josh Freeman? The guy was a flash in the pan, no one wants him, get over it, he's done.

I'm with you, but apparently as this board and his movies would indicate, we are in the vast minority. I haven't ever seen him do anything that I thought was remotely funny in stand up or in a movie. To each their own I guess.
