I will NOT have my analogy making skills brought into question.

If we get Fitzpatrick, we'd have a QB from Harvard, a QB from Stanford, a RB for Cal Berkeley, and a head coach from Yale. We'd at least be the most book smart team!

Well here's a fair analogy to the situation. You have 1,000 dollars in cash. Instead of taking it inside your house and sticking it in a lockbox/under your mattress/etc. you duct tape it to the outside of your front door, for everybody in the neighborhood to see. You wake up the next morning and 50 dollars out of the 1,000 is gone. Is the person who took the 50 bucks in the wrong? Yes. But do you REALLY have the right to complain? No.

It takes literally one minute to create a secure network. If somebody leaves themself with an unsecure connection, it means one of two things. 1) They're stupid. 2) They don't mind people using it.

If they didn't want people hijacking their conneciton, they should have secured it.

Yeah, Babe Ruth was an obese drunk and he hit 714 home runs. THAT is special.

WWJD What Would Jeff Do?

Ha! I love this guy!

Ok, fair enough. My real gripe isn't them taking Whitner. I just want to know how the hell they ever landed on McCargo.

Keep in mind, this is the same country where a burglar can sue a homeowner if he slips on the ice outside their door after robbing them. Honestly, this doesn't surprise me at all.

Maybe it's a contrived apology, but at least he's better than the likes of Clemens, McGwire, and Bonds who still vehemently deny using even though everybody knows they did.

Here's the part I don't get. Clearly, our plan was to get a safety and a defensive tackle. Most mock drafts at that point had Whitner in the 25-30 range. We ended up trading up for the 26th pick. So why didn't we draft Ngata (the front office apparently liked Mccargo, but they obviously knew Ngata was better, nonetheless) and then trade up to 26 with the Bears if Whitner was still available. If Whitner had been taken, we could have just waited until the second round and taken the next safety on the draft board. We could have very realistically gotten Ngata AND Whitner. Is my logic flawed here?

I've always been partial to the flats, myself. They tend to have more quality meat on them, IMO. But a good 50/50 ratio is always the way to go. All flats would be boring.

Yeah, I'll just take the wings and fries.

This thread is crazy. All your thetan levels must be off the charts right now!

Can I do a write-in vote for Copeland Bryan?

Damn, you should write menus. I'm tempted to hop in my car and drive back to Buffalo.

Don't knock the man. There's nothing wrong with drinking some coke. But yes, Duff's is better than Anchorbar. I think of Anchorbar as more of a tourist attraction that has pretty good wings.

You must be quite the football expert to feel qualified to make a statement like that. So educated me, oh expert, how is it that you know Trent Edwards is incapable of EVER making the playoffs as the Bills' starting quarterback. Just a hunch?

I don't know if I've read one post by you that doesn't accuse somebody else of being ignorant about something.

Well he's a tight end and we were looking for a wide receiver. I don't really understand how you could consider that "dropping the ball".

Well it's certainly good to know that we have a poster who is inside the head of RW and knows exaclty what motivates him to do things.

The thought of it makes me drool.

He wasn't inducted for what he did for the Bills, he was inducted for what he did for the NFL (and most importantly for small market franchises). Do you really think he was put in the HOF as an honor for his success in Buffalo? Of course not. He's in the HOF because he was a pioneer of the AFL, the merger would probably not have happened without him, and he is an important and well respected (outside of Buffalo apparently) figure in the league. It's the Pro Football Hall of Fame, not the Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame. You can't look at the scenario through the eyes of a fan. By the way, 95% of other owners would have moved the team by now, so you should be a little bit more grateful. Success or no success, Ralph Wilson IS the Buffalo Bills. I would shake his hand and congratulate him if I could.
