Looks like Rudolf will need to look for mentoring elsewhere. Should be a condusIve learning atmosphere for a young QB.

Past performance. Usually the best indicator of future performance.

And I'm with you 100%. God I hope they didn't bungle this opportunity.

Well, I have to admit that is clever.

What he really needs is a better first step!

Exactly. And who knows he may even blossom into a pass-rusher this year.

It's a Star Wars reference for for people with no lives.

Signs point to no.

Sure has, especially with quarterbacks.

I just don't see Allen starting.

It's a real positive that Kim is involved. She ahould be comfortable in the business because after all she's much younger than Terry. She could be the sole owner one day.

Dahlin. At least there's an overwhelming consensus he's the best guy in the draft.

Hi John, I spent most of my career in broadcast news and media, both radio and television. 30 some odd years ago when I started out I was a radio reporter covering government, the courts, and politics. And I had two other radio stations that I was competing with every single day to be first. It was great competition and it kept your head in the game. So I had three beats. Within a few years all that went away, the staff was let go, and I ended up in studio, anchoring and making phone calls. The cuts were just drastic. Same for television now. Everybody's general assignment and they don't have two minutes to rub together for the actual work of reporting. If they go out they have to come back with a package or story. Attending committee meetings or governmental hearings is only reserved when there's something controversial going on. And I hate to say it but that's the way of newspapers now. In Rochester, there's one D&C reporter covering all of government. Which means if you have a dozen priorities, you have no priorities.They are no longer beat reporters, they're doing spot government news. It's pathetic but that's the how it is. Plus not to show my broadcast by yes, but I found that most government entities and agencies when they want to leak a story always opts for the paper. A lot of the news that the newspapers used to break was given to them because of their wider readership rather than just going with one of a dozen broadcast stations. And then there's turnover. They pay like crap so everybody starting out, or looking for the next gig as soon as they start. Even 10 years ago there was always one person at a broadcast station who had a lot of institutional memory and knowledge that would have the contacts to break an occasional story. But those folks are getting few and far between. All that said, I do agree with you about sports stations, particularly ones that are are they main broadcast vehicle of a pro football and hockey team. The drive time talk show hosts really do have to be in studio and spend the bulk of their time there. WGR has the luxury of two beat reporters and multiple talk show hosts that are not tied to the studio. (I am a fan of Paul Hamilton.) Those are the guys who should be out, hanging with the team and breaking stories. Often though to gain access to get a little too comfortable with the teams are covering as they either don't have the time or inkling to do anything but rely on the team for the news and notifications - or they just buy the company line. It's tough to find an unbiased, educated view of what's going on. You often get a reporter who won't say boo, or columnist who will goes on rants just to provoke readers and get clicks. Not to blow smoke at you, that's why I value what you do and I like Matthew Fairburn quite a lot as well.

Who isn't?

No Mayfield or Rosen on the board - really. Both must have been too accurate as passers, no challenge there.

Hey I hope you're right! It's just been my experience that if you haven't seen something from somebody in the past why would you expect in the future? That said, I hope to hell you're right.

It's one thing to make a giant leap when you're playing in shorts. When you being blitzed and have Bill Belichick defenses confuse you, and have to make decisions at game speed, that's another story. Just going to have to see folks.

Do or not do, there is no challenge. Some say challenge some say excuses.

Almost a universal feeling by analysts. Your banking on him doing something he has yet to do in his career, demonstrate accuracy.

Um, Canadian ballet, casinos, when's the last time you were up near the Falls?

How random, I never asked for your opinion either.

Same %, 0 Superbowl wins.

I don't disagree on the OL but I think our LB situation is shaky at best. We also have to hope Vontae is close to what he was. Receiver corp is poor and god forbid Shady gets hurt. A lot has to go right on both sides of the ball for 8 wins this year imo.

Countless championships? I count 2 AFL titles. SJF is a much better site.

What in my post indicated I wasn't going to watch the Bills? I answered the thread's question. At the end of the day, quit jumping to baseless conclusions.
