I'd or whatever novelty they have announcing the pick run (in full out Price is Right dash) to the podium to pick this guy.

"Crockett Gillmore". That's an awesome name. My pick: Lamin Barrow, LSU linebacker. He will be a late round pick by somebody but I think he could develop into a solid backer.

I think plenty of men in the Dolphins organization lost their jobs this morning with the release of this report. The Dolphins as a corporation lost control of said organization and people get fired for that. While Incognito and Martin are surely discarded, I wouldn't be surprised to see the entire coaching staff, Philbin included, cut, at this juncture. No matter the timing, the NFL will demand action.

That diner scene with Art, Steve the Pirate, Picker and Wynn Duffy is some of the best tv I've seen. Easily one of the top 5 scenes of the series. As a viewer you really had no idea how that was going to go down.

This is like picking between your wife of a year and her attractive friend who happens to cook and bake pretty good.

Even at 48 pages, this thread isn't even close to rivaling the classic Mario Williams or George Seifert threads. The hysteria (that I admit gladly partaking in) around Mario Williams was a lot of fun. George hanging out at the airport (or is he?) was hilarious. This Pettine event is just missing something.

What is up with these coaching hires? Don't these teams do *any* research?

No Browns fan here but I think Jim Fassel would be an excellent selection for them.

I saw the rifle in a news article. It's an AR platform with some fairly expensive optics. Couple grand. I'd weep openly if I left that in some random rental car. As a gun owner, I've never understood how folks "forget" where their guns are located.

I'd pay Carpenter. Known quantity and one less hole to fill on the roster.

I want to know why the NFL isn't clamping down on Ed Hochuli's illegal gun show every Sunday. Pretty sure he doesn't have permits for those.

I'd kill to have that much hair at his age. I don't know why the NFL wouldn't be celebrating that.

What a bland year for coaching hires. Caldwell and Whisenhunt? Blander than a roomful of khakis saving the world from color.

Justified is one of my faves. Have watched every episode, every season. This premier was a bit off. Felt rushed and a little erratic. The casting for the "Canadians" and Darly Crowe was very odd. I don't think Dave Foley and Will Sasso make for convincing Canadian mobsters and while Michael Rappaport is a fine actor, he can't pull off a southern accent. He should probably just stop trying. The episode was a pleasant reminder about the underrated hotness of Alicia Witt, however.

This would be a good poll question. Arizona Cardinals.

Worst move of the offseason. Guess I'm glad they got *that* out of the way.

I think we can do better at the TE position. Scott Chandler is a good TE but if the opportunity arises for the Bills to get a *great* TE, they should not pass that up.

Crossman and Chandler. The Bills need to invest real money in the TE position. The Bills need a Special Teams coach that has shown proven success in defending the returns.

Sigh. My point: NFL teams can put whomever they want on a wall. War vets. Deceased players. Fans that make up fictional men. The Bills can put Thad Lewis on the Wall this Sunday if they want to. The football stats are completely meaningless and perhaps irrelevant. It doesn't matter how many touchdowns or yards Fred Jackson has. If Ralph or the team wants him on *their* Wall, he's on said Wall.

It blows my mind that Kitna entered the league in 1997 as Warren Moon's backup and played in NFL Europe. Holy Awesome 90s. Where's the Zubaz? And Kitna's on a sideline this Sunday again with players who probably didn't even know the NFL had teams in Europe. Crazy stuff.

No comparison, but illustration of a point, my friend. Those gentlemen are on the Wall for other reasons besides what you'll find in the NFL stats. Walls of Fame league wide are filled with players who weren't year in and year out Pro Bowlers, Hall of Famers or even elite football talents. Brian Piccolo really didn't do much on a football field but he's immortilized in Chicago. Don Fleming played in only 38 games for the Browns but had his jersey number retired upon his death. Jerome Brown went to the Pro Bowl only twice and yet had his jersey retired in Philadelphia.

I think some folks are confusing the Bills Wall of Fame with THE Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. To be a member of the Wall of Fame, the HOF numbers are not a requirement. We have the 12th Man and Bob Kalsu on ours, for example. They were put on the Wall not for playing stats but incredible intangibles or contributions to the team. While there are many other examples, the Bears (Brian Piccolo) and the Cardinals (Pat Tillman) also come to mind of teams putting players on the Wall of Fame that didn't have the "stats".

Absolutely yes.

This one is easy. Bring back the 90s uniforms and the red helmets. The Bills and the NFL made the decision to change uniforms in late 2000, to be unveiled in 2002. The die was cast. Hire Dick Enberg for play by play. Whatever it costs.

Don't worry about the Seahawks. They won't win a Super Bowl with Carroll there. Ever. The football gods are not fond of Carroll's willful destruction of USC football and then cutting out and accepting no responsibility for it. Retribution will be coaching teams *this close* but never being rewarded with the prize. Carroll's Seahawk teams will be the 1990s Dolphins.
