May Day 10

^^^^ Thats a good idea. I could live with that for now. (the opening kickoff idea)

I like the college OT and it would work in the NFL if each team started at the 50 . With that said, they need to allow for another possession to 'match'. The fact that any tie game can be decided on a combination between a coin toss and a questionable penalty should scream change.

I know it has been said before. But if the team is so desparate to collect any revenue stream possible, why the %$&* is the stadium named Ralph Wilson Stadium? Oh I forgot. Buffalo is the only place in the world that cant get a corporate sponsor for naming rights. (even though the scope/exposure of the league is National

It would truly suck. I would either be done with the NFL... or I would choose another team it would be the Browns.

Id be a fan of the move. Pretty much solidifies a DL at the 11th pick and decreases the likelihood of trading down. But can Schoumann or Fine do just as well as Scheffler?

its an arms race in the AFC East. I would love for the Bills to do a little more here.

http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d...mp;confirm=true here is a blurb I found from last year.

I thought about going, but an article talked me out of it. You should wait in line the night before. They hand out wristbands/or tickets at some point. It is general admission, so you shouldnt leave the line even when you get your wristband. I think I am better off going to the Bills' draft party or watch it on TV. If you go, good luck and have fun.

I live near Philly. A Verizon installer was over Friday and saw all the Buffalo stuff everywhere. He proceeded to tell me how the Owens thing was starting up already and said that 'the way he said 81 was his number' was selfish and he already had a bad attitude. I tried to tell him the real situation, or how a hall of famer, especially in a merchandising age, should probably expect to have his number. Who knows, maybe Brandon told him it would be so when they agreed to terms. I know he has brought a lot on himself, but you can really see a lot of the pre judging that goes on and the media spin on this guy. Then you get a guy who isnt that far from that tree and he is treated like a god for all humans (Favre)

after giving it a weekend of thought, my initial reaction to the numbers given in the report is not right. I think the Bills need to sign this guy.

just to echo. Buffalo nightlife isnt a place for a young famous person to go out and be seen. Im not sure if that is TO's thing or not.

Im in 241, last row.

I did, last week though. My friends and I are in the rockpile at that great price, and it is so worth it for us all to have fun on gamedays. Win or lose. I make the drive from Philly for games and made 6 last season. However, I wasnt too pumped about this coming season and was planning on attending 2 games maybe. Now I cant wait for the schedule to come out so I can plan a bunch of trips next fall.

Maybe Fine can get some favorable coverage as well. Hopefully they will get the OK from TO before they throw to him though

This is just great. The kind of big move the Bills need to make. I cant wait for the season now.

I just heard the Pasquarelli interview about it. He sounds extremely bitter about Buffalo and bitter about TO. Past the point of sounding objective at all.

they dont play dallas this season unfortunately.

im in the minority, but signing TO would be the best thing the FO coulds possibly do. The 'good guy' 'character guy' act has done nothing for me or the Bills. Inject some piss and vinegar into this team. I am all for this. Maybe we will get one or 2 good years out of him, which gives us a much better chance of watching playoff football. Maybe the environment here would be good for TO and he could settle down with the Bills, who knows? I want T.O. in a Bills uniform.

I knew someone would be a sucker.

There better be something else.... something much more else..... But really. If this is their answer to the backup QB (history shows they likely will be asked to win a few games), this is the cheapest way to fill that role.

You just cant make this stuff up. I thought a marketing/PR guy like Russ Brandon would be really good at paperwork. You fill your front office with goons, your franchise becomes a joke.

in this case I would take Oher or Raji

my friend and i were having these same thoughts a month ago. we stopped ourselves and backed off from the wishful thinking. it will hurt less

thats one of the great things about the article. you could change a couple words here and there, and you could convince someone the thing was written 40 days ago, not 40 years ago. for me, someone who wasnt alive yet, it was fascinating to see that snapshot of that time period.

http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vau...018/1/index.htm This article just oozes awesomeness. It is about the Buffalo sports landscape from January 1969. It starts out about the Knoxes, covers the city's pursuit of an MLB team, and then talks at length about how Ralph Wilson is threatening to take the Bills and move them to Seattle. And OJ may have given Ralph the leverage he needed! really though, if you have time and you are a Buffalo sports fan, this is a must read.
