  1. "Jimmy's under the boards. Jimmy's in the open. Jimmy makes the shot." "Jimmy's got some new moves." "Jimmy and misunderstanding kinda clash." Marc in Montréal
  2. The atmosphere was lousy you're right! You could even hear echo from the PA system. But the biggest question I have : Why keep the roof closed ?? It's a football game and it wasn't even that cold in Toronto ? Heck snow would have been welcomed and would have made the game interesting.
  3. Trestman makes Jauron look like Mick Jagger on Red Bull... Not the guy we want at that point anyway. Marc in Montréal
  4. While I agree, DJ would'nt gain much by doing this as he's probably more into getting as good a record as he can (before being shown the door) than developing and giving reps to youngsters. Marc in Montréal
  5. While I don't think Mike Vick is a Super Bowl caliber QB, he would solve our OL problems right away as he can make something out of nothing, and nothing is a lot of what you get with our current OL.
  6. If I get your post right, this implies that Bills fans are not really good. Would you care to explain why and divulge the criterion you used? Thanks, Marc in Montréal
  7. Most players will not speak their mind because they do not wish to talk about : playbook, playcalling, specific scheme, botched assignments, formation goings to be used next week, who's to blame, if I really want to come back here next year, if I should be the number 5 DB, the weakest link on our next opponent's lineup, etc. So essentially, if you don't want to create a mess, you just talk about things in general and you make sure to include as many clichés as possible, in an attempt to fill the void. Here are Lee Evans' comments: "When it comes down to it, when things aren’t going your way you need to have something, kind of a game-changer, a big play and to take a shot at some point," Evans said. "The one shot that we did take, we just missed it. That was tough, but we should've had a few more of those and we didn’t. And after such a quote, Tim Graham marvels at Lee Evans because he "dared" to comment to the situation. Note to Tim: the answer he just gave you is meaningless and you got nothing out of him. Just like you got nothing out of TO. So if TO doesn't want to talk, just go to Jonathan Scott's locker, he'll be happy to give you a quote and you will be able to render your cute ESPN article to your editor on time and it won't wake you up at night anymore.

  8. We are 1-2 and we faced the Pats at Foxboro and the red-hot Saints. Is it just me or I don't feel the need to open my veins or pull a Thelma and Louise just yet. Personally, I don't care if T.O. catches 10 or no football per week, and I don't care if 90% of Edwards' passes are checkdowns, I just care about our record, not how many ESPN highlights we have. If McKelvin doesn't fumble we are 2-1 and nobody freaks about the style of our offense. Speaking of which, since checkdowns seem to suit Edwards that much, then FINE HAS TO SIT. No matter how good of a blocker he is, he won't make this Oline that much better, might as well have someone who can catch. Depth should be : Nelson, Stupar, Fine. This is what I have to say about Roscoe Parrish: Where is Chris Watson when you need him! Go Bills Marc in Montréal

  12. Salut Olivier, I lived in France (Nantes) for 4 months and it's tough to follow football there. Besides the NBA is far more popular in France than the NFL. I followed soccer there anyway. France doesnt have the best soccer league in Europe, but in North American standards, it's excellent. I watched the Bears-Colts Superbowl in France. It was quite an experience because the commentators were French. Being used to American and French Canadian broadcast, it was almost sureal. I could tell they were not used to the sport as the tone and rythmn of the play-by-play guy was completly off. Tough way to sell the sport thay way. It's the same with soccer here. Watching a game with English or French (or even Spanish) commentators is much more exiting. Marc in Montréal
  13. These jokes are so old hehe. But the average Frenchman is very sensitive when it comes to this issue. Personnaly, I am not offended. I guess it might be because I'm not French but a French speaking Québécois. And god knows most French Québécois don't know much about what happened during WW II anyway. In fact the French Liberation Army fought along Brits and Australians against Germans and Italians all across North Africa. They also participated in D-Day operations and fought in Norway.

  14. I'm just suggesting we have not suffered a Super Bowl loss in over 15 years.
  15. Unless they would issue some sort of warning before the game, I say yes, definitely.

  17. TO = Dangerous remedy I like it. Marc in Montréal
  18. Agree on that. If a teams brings in a giant sound system to re-create atmosphere in noisy stadiums (not sure that we even do that), why can't we practice outside to recreate game-day conditions. Beside it's not even real cold outside these days. Marc in Montréal
  19. Reporter tring to act as if he's his best bud... without much success. http://www.sportsnet.ca/video/?bctid=3180768001
  20. "Yes, Buffalo's Ashton Youboty is a possibility. Buffalo has soured on the former Ohio State star, and the Bills have brought in veteran corner Will James and drafted three cornerbacks (including Akron's Reggie Corner). So he is available." Can Youboty help? He's played in only 14 games in two pro seasons, and has not made much of an impact. He had the dreaded high-ankle sprain last season. In 2006, he had a rough rookie season as his mother died. He is only 23 and was a third-round pick in 2006. There was a feeling at OSU that he left school a year too early. He played for Browns defensive coordinator Mel Tucker at OSU, so Tucker will have a major say in how hard the Browns pursue him. Not speaking directly about Youboty, Savage said: "There is another Daven Holly out there, a guy another team has given up on him and can help us. We just have to find him." http://blog.cleveland.com/sports/2008/05/b...waits_next.html
  21. "he simply isn't mature, and that's a big reason why former Bills DB Troy Vincent broke Losman's leg at training camp in 2004." As read on TBD's front page today. Is it just me or that's a little far fetched ? Is breaking a guy's leg the only way to get you point across ? Besides, wouldnt it be quite a task just to break the leg of NFL players with a criminal record. Now every immature player in the league needs to be seriously injured by a teammate ? Marc in Montréal
  22. Hey whats up with your avatar !!! I like it but don't recall Lee Evans being available in Tecmo Bowl ! Marc in Montréal
  23. Now I know it's probabaly not offensive to most FOX viewers but it just shouldnt be allowed on national TV. Almost makes Howie Long's stuck-in-the-80's hairdo stylish. Marc in Montréal
