He's yet another mediocre coach who under performs consistently. How do these guys continue to get jobs? They have some damn good agents. A quote from the Florida Times Union when the Jags hired him: "Oakland’s run game statistics were woeful last year. The Raiders were last in yards per game (77.5) and rushing touchdowns (four). In Skipper’s six years, the Raiders’ running game finished 21st, second, seventh, 28th, 12th and last. Oakland’s combined six-year run-game ranking was 16th in yards and 12th in yards per attempt."

If your kids are constantly sick from colds, flu, etc., try a bleach bath once a week. They are effective at curbing bacteria that's on the skin, under the nails, etc. Lots of internet guidance on them. Most pediatricians, after your 358th visit to their office, will recommend trying one. Don't use fabric softener on your towels. Bleach your bath towels every other cycle, washcloths every cycle.

Olsen is terrible. He's pretty consistent at being terrible. Hire someone with a proven, successful track record or hire somebody with some promise.

Rivers isn't going to want to play in Buffalo. However, I wouldn't rule out Rivers replacing Palmer in Arizona. CP isn't a starter anymore - and the Cardinals window is open.

The Dolphins. Miami trades RT in the off season and pairs Taylor with Ajayi and that above average offensive line and the "better than the Bills have" WR corps. In a way, it's a bad year for Taylor because while there are a lot of openings, there are also a lot of quarterbacks when you tally up FA, draft and possible trades.

I think there are a lot of QBs and a lot of spots which makes it a buyer's market. I think Arizona, Miami and Minnesota are dark horse openings.

The coaching choices have been inspired. I'm pleasantly surprised.

That quote doesn't make sense to me. Does it make sense to you? Sounds like something Movie Trailer Guy would say.

The original MacGyver or the lame new one? What would MacGyver and Walker be doing? Fighting or defusing a bomb in a 4th grade Home Economics classroom? It's like comparing K.I.T.T. vs. Airwolf.

Has anyone created a Terry Pegula bingo? The McDermott bingo is hilarious.

"We bought teams to keep them in the area and to flourish with them. I let the coaches and the players be out front and be the story." I'm ok with all of that. He owns the business. However, the dysfunctional comments he finds insulting comes from their poor job at communication with the press and fan base. They are getting ripped off by the people in the public relations department. You have owners shooting out press releases, the owners aren't even on the same page with each other, GMs and interim head coaches stumbling, no press secretary, - it has the appearance of chaos. If you want to stop being called a bunch of dysfunctional amateurs, stop selling the perception you are. It's simple. .

Again, a proper media guy or gal would have had Marrone prepared for that obvious question.

Not to mention the "blowup" was nearly 12 years ago.

Trying to make Los Angeles and California football happen will be another nail in the NFL coffin. It was always unstable even when the demographics favored it decades ago. The Rams and the Raiders didn't move around as they did because they simply had too many fans and were making too much money. The league should be looking at consolidation.

I have not met this Scott Berchtold individual.

Best - He makes some downright inspired FA and trade moves. Worst - Cutting Fred Jackson. His leadership has been missed on a team that desperately needed it in 2015 and 2016. It set the wrong tone.

I see Kim phoning in from Aspen excited the Bills are going to hire the NFL's first female head coach in Kris Richards. Terry phoning in from Buffalo speed reading through all the notes Whaley has sent him but he hasn't read, curious why the WR on the team will make a good head coach... Doug phoning in from the darkened front office where he's managed to fool everyone that he's not there and can't take media phone calls... Everyone likes someone different...then you hear Terry quickly speed dialing another extension... "Sorry to bother you Russ, but well Russ..., we can't decide. What do you think?" And then Russ smiles slowly and widely as he stares at Two Bills Drive, open on his laptop, and starts talking.. As the scene starts fading to black, you hear Terry go "That's a great idea, Russ. Let's run with that."

The Ravens approach is probably more or less the standard approach to handling such press conferences in the NFL. That's what makes the Bills approach feel amateur, aloof and unprofessional in comparison.

I see getting over the hump and into the playoffs as an incremental stage in shaping an annually competitive team. Much like the Pittsburgh Pirates who suffered a similar drought, getting into the playoffs was a very big deal. It reset expectations.

Haha. All three are LONG overdue. Plus, with three items, it gives Kim, Terry and Doug all something to "decide" on.

Red helmets. The old end zones. A little less train whistle.

Andy Reid will get his revenge on the Pats this year.

Never hire a coach who was just fired. This is known as the Rex Ryan rule. In doing so, you hire a coach who has not spent time evaluating what went right, what went wrong. That's important to do.

I recall reading that Sears last had a truly profitable year in 1989. Kmart - 1993. The slow bleed of Sears has everything to do with shareholders getting their maximum value before it dies. Bankruptcy made sense a decade ago if they wanted to truly save the company. I'm sure that the Internet has contributed but terrible management and terrible decision making by that management had these companies on the slide long before Wal-Mart turned into the juggernaut and Amazon was even a "thing". The decline of Kmart, Sears, JC Penney's, Nordstrom's and Macy's is putting significant stress on the "traditional" enclosed mall market. Malls are heavily mortgaged properties - and if you have lost an anchor or two, it's hard to pay the mortgage.
