  1. You just reminded me, Doug Flutie was Tim Tebow before we knew who Tim Tebow was . . . I totally agree, this team has been cursed ever since the Music City castration. Anyhow, congrats on the Internship, learn all you can, build your network, and look to do/serve any way you can . . . and see if you can pull off some kind of public exorcism of Wade & the Nashville Nighmare: the day Doug Futie wasn't!
  2. Yep! I called it before the season and was roasted, but I'll say it again: Spiller fast becoming a bigger bust than Maybin!
  3. Once the Bills went down 30-10, I switched my internet feed to the Broncos game--just in time to watch the last 10 minutes. It's like watching a car wreck, you can't turn away from the the phenomenon that is Tim Tebow. I was watching and just laughing at how he turned the Chicago Bears into the Washington Generals, just a bit player for the main act. With no real emotional investment, it was fun to watch. I think I'll become a Broncos fan for the rest of the season; but I will pull for the BIlls when they play on Christmas eve.
  4. Wow, he looks like he's got a chance to make 1st team NFL All-Practice Squad (I think only five make it each year).
  5. No! No! No! I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it. Stay with the top tier schools; big time programs will give you more consistency . . . every one of these guys you mentioned are perfect examples, all draft-day crap shoots, and, well, all have been more crap than shoot. A simple draft formula: Draft big people from big schools (with occasional wow! exceptions).
  6. I think we should take every one of them, they all sound good - especially the defensive guys!
  7. ditto except we're trying to experience the "luxury" part of it
  8. It was a bad call, marginal at best. The official was looking through a defender to make the call: that is a guess more than a certainty. He thought he saw something, the Titan defensive player did a great acting job, and the official bought it. This happens just about every play, it's a guess, and this time it cost us.
  9. "Spiller = Ronnie Harmon" Perfect assessment!, Yep, that's exactly right.
  10. Wow Reddog, kindred spirits . . . Rangers fan; is something going on with the NBA--I haven't heard? hockey is only interesting in person; becoming more disillusioned with college football by the day--the only thing that will save it is a play-off system; but March madness is always fun for a few weeks . . . I would add this about sports: I (and I think "we") always love a compelling and interesting story. For example: Houston yesterday; My HS alma mater is in the PA state semifinals for the first time ever=GO GATORS!;Just read a book called "Remember Why You Play"--about a HS football coach & team in Texas; Not a fan of his, but Tiger Woods in the hunt this weekend; the last half of the NASCAR race last weekend; Love Boise St for their potential to wreck the BCS each year; Underdog stories; Little League WS when a local team is in it; etc.; and always a fan of those teams I have personal connections with like the local HS, my college, people I know, etc.
  11. That is funny Or fill in the blank with just about any other DC than George Edwards in the NFL right now: "I'm not a big fan of Gregg Williams _________ but you won't convince me that the Bills wouldn't have more sacks if he was the DC."
  12. Hmmm? My beef with Spiller is not the playing time he doesn't get. It's what he does with it when he does get it -- which so far, has been next to nothing.
  13. Ah, as said, the Charlie Brown like kick that set up the Jets comeback . . . nothing more to add.
  14. This is a point I've made elsewhere: We need to stop drafting combine freaks from the low-rent districts of college football; that is, places like Richmond, James Madison, Troy State, South Dakota St., Central Florida, etc., and go after major program people. Yes, there will always be exceptions--in both directions (e.g. Arron Maybin on the negative side, Fred Jackson on the positive ledger, etc.)--but big time school & conference players are generally going to be better investments over the long haul. I'll give exhibit A: David Nelson, non-starter at Florida, but able to adapt pretty quickly to the NFL.
  15. And to think, last year I was willing to give up a #1 pick for him. Oh well, if we can get him for next to nothing now, sure.
