What's the context here? I never saw this quote before. Is this about Mario?

the tragedy is that it looks like he killed his cell mate out of self defense...now he was facing murder 1 over it. i can see why you'd give up... RIP, and the the criminal justice system ads one to the body count...

:lol:

i just want to know...is it still there? there has to be a way....what do you do? ice pick and propane torch? thousand pounds of salt? is april the best solution? is it parked in ice? or just 3 inches of slushy water? this thread needs updates. a good thread would be "vote for the TBD member most likely to be the owner of this car." I guess it would have to be ICE.

i can enjoy good whiskey..bourbon for sure...i've enjoyed single malt scotch a lot when i tended bar years ago.....but combing through this thread just makes my head hurt for some reason?

because!!!....REX!!!....OUTRAGE!!!.....FURY!!!

I bet less than 5% of the people who post more than once a month on this site could even tell you who Donnie Henderson is...although, in fairness, the percentage could be close to 10% if you made it multiple choice.

One thing we all can agree on: If there's one thing that separates the contenders from the pretenders in today's NFL it's their choice of who to hire as assistant defensive associate consultant to the head coach.

i'm gonna go back and look at all 8 pages of this now, but i can't imagine it being said and more accurately/succinctly than this. agree with most of this...but i also think injuries really were the last straw. i don't know how many of you guys look at http://www.mangameslost.com/category/nfl/but it really does illustrate that, while we were dinged up in the secondary early last year, we were pretty lucky over all. i said this all last year and that is why i think marrone's 9-7 was such a mirage. this sitye also shows we got crushed this year...so much so i'm surprised there aren';t more threads here calling for pegula to bring rusty jones out of retirement. that is also why i think/hope we're better than 8-8...as long as we don't lose to many starters due to cap issues. i'm also cautiously optimistic that rex is smart enough to put his ego aside and mold things to fit the players better.. goddam it your 100million dollar man should be taking the lead there. i am embarrassed i stuck up for this guy as long as i did this year. team cancer. Rex IS the kind of coach you can work collaboratively with...the last two games especially prove it....many more 4 man rushes. due to the players input. but it sounds like he asked for it all year, and Mario especially was a brat about the whole thing, rather than working WITH coaches to make the best of things.

Kyle does not need to know any of this.

Either that, or it's January. Cheers.

How precious! I'm not the one rushing in to criticize a guy for doing a job he's done plenty well for 30 or 35 years. YOU did that, based on your own wild assumptions about some conversations you weren't even present for. YOU'RE the expert on sportswriting. YOU know exactly what went down in each of those conversations well enough to place blame, and punctuated it with a pompous dissertation on journalistic ethics. But I'M the one who broke your so-called. "irony meter." That's so cute.

go figure. I don't know why any of this is so hard to believe.

that couldn't be attributed to concussions also?

that would be a shame, because what this board needs is more high-and-mighty lectures on journalist ethics. oh, and more gleeful high-fives over conflicting stories that "prove" something or another about some BN writer's competence.

That's a great civics lesson, but (AGAIN) nothing has been "proven false" by anyone! Insofar as any of this is "news" you almost have a point there. But in making it you just eliminated about 80% of sports journalism. And that doesn't even address the more obvious point...that sports is most assuredly not "news" but rather a highly addictive time-wasting form of ENTERTAINMENT(as I have proven to myself yet again today). But really, that Vic Carrucci should be expected to reveal a bibliography of his sources to satisfy your vision of journalistic prudence is also hilarious. You jumped to a conclusion because you have a bias to confirm about sportswriter so or BN or Caruccii or whatever. Good for you. At the end of the day all we have are two entirely plausible conflicting reports. No one knows what happened in that meeting but you are saying his report has been proven false? Ok. I'm reserving my judgment. I know that in the black and white world of adolescent girl gossip, you're not allowed to do that, but then again I guess I don't know the same "facts" as you. You all can go back to your little BN-hating circle jerk now. I hope you get some sort of "release" from it. Heh.

what are these "actual facts?" My point (again) is that we don't know what they are. You guys who talk about sportswriter a like they all have a hidden agenda are the conspiracy theorists. You want facts? Here's one: nothing that has happened necessarily disproves what Carrucci wrote.

i see the point got right by you again. I'M NOT defending it headline 1. But unlike you guys, I'm not pretending to know what actually happened. and i'm not using the fact that 2 stories conflict to come down on 1 side in favor of another. that's for you gossipy girls to do. Carrucci could just as easily (or more likely, I'd say) been given his info by someone who's not under pressure to safe face...the polar opposite of rex/whaley/pegula! it's also possible Rex/Whaley have both bickered/disagreed AND grown close over this year. I'm guessing none of you have ever worked on a coaching staff? It's pretty typical. It's also possible Pegula could have sat them both down and said something like "look guys, I'm extending Doug because I want this to work, but A,B and C have blown up in our faces and you both need to do better." Besides, Pegula's own actions in the past prove that BOTH stories could be true. He extended Darcy right before he fired him! Your comfort is to me, so that is gratifying.

not one person here knows that carrucci made it up or was lied to. but sooooo many kneejerk reactions...and assumptions of guilt. just because pegula denies it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. it also could have been that carrucci's source embellished. there's really no way to know for sure and we probably never will. it's also entirley possible that two different peoiple with knowledge of the conversation had completely different interpretations of what it meant. without a transcript, who could know? but boy oh boy does every little thing spark a shitstorm of squealing and bleating and finger-pointing by some of you guys. it's hilarious. vic carrucci doesn't need me to speak up for him. i haven't wasted a moment this year trying to keep score about whose gossip was proven true and whose wasn't ...but it's comical that so many of you do. but if carrucci does bother to write about this again, he'll probably stand by his source. i just want to know who thinks what here... a. he made it up b. he was "intentionally" lied to so he'd look bad (i'm sure everyone at OBD sits around cooking up plots to embarrass sportswriters...because they don't have enough to do). c. he's so sad about not being "connected" (since, you know, the 90s are just never coming back) that he quoted a janitor or someone like that.

because they overpaid him. i like the guy and want him to justify the expense...but that will be really tough to for him do... agree...i thought he looked pretty rough at first, but he really seemed to improve as the season went on. for whatever reason.

i think the word you're looking for is "sociopath." i have wondered for awhile whether mental illness/CTE issues played a role in his meltdown during the 90s. it's not that hard to believe. i predict his autopsy will show concussion-related brain damage. I don't think everyone with narcissistic/sociopathic tendencies acts out on the urge to kill an ex- who has moved on...but if you bake in some good old concussion-related mental instability... it makes too much sense.

all you amateur media critics crack me the hell up.

This!! I do not get to many games any more because of family/work responsibilities. When I could come (more 95-05 mainly) it was mostly December games. There is nothing better than bundling up and being outside in the winter hanging out with your friends. I mean, geez, is it really that hard to dress for December in Buffalo? Some people talk about it like its the South Pole But when my boys get older you're damn right I'll be back. . And I do not want to take them to a dome. I want them bundled up like Eskimos throwing the football with fires and food cooking on all four sides of them just like we do now. And I want them to get to see the hang-dog expressions of the other team when we get up and the weather gets nasty. No one remembers how much fun that Miami game was when the blizzard rolled in and they just quit? NO DOME.

I love you man!
