  1. There's nothing in the lease that prevents the team from being sold to someone who has even explicitly stated that he intends to eventually move the team, so long as the move under discussion would not take place until after the lease expires. If you read the AP article carefully, it is consistent with this view: We don't know what, if anything, the trust says about disqualifying bidders who have expressed an intent of moving the team in the future. And there are very logical arguments you can make about why the NFL would not want to have several years of uproar in Buffalo about a possible future move if the Bon Jovi Toronto group buys the team. But if the Toronto group is excluded from being the winning bidder, it won't be because of the lease (unless one of the rich Toronto guys or Bon Jovi stupidly states that he intends to move the team before, rather than after, the lease expires).
  2. We should get Dareus to have the new medical procedure and switch to snuff - - at least it's legal in both NY and Alabama.
  3. Bradham is certainly athletic, but is he instinctive enough? Once he figures out where to go, he snuffs things, but does he sniff them out quickly enough? I'm not convinced he has a nose for the ball, but maybe with more experience he'll get better.

  5. Question is, did the players know the run defense was putrid so that they could work on the necessary skills and conditioning in the off-season, or were they unable to smell the putridity?
  6. Thanks - - thought maybe I had missed something.
  7. Hope you're right, 'cause it wrecks lives of entire families. I don't follow progress in this area closely, though. I was under the impression (just from memory, didn't do the google thing on it) that recent breakthroughs have generally involved finding markers for early stages of the disease, so that it will be easier to try various experimental treatments that might eventually slow the progress of the disease if it can be detected early enough. Are you aware of any breakthroughs in treatment that go beyond early detection (which is an important first step, but still leaves us a long way from slowing progression of the disease, much less curing or entirely preventing it)?
  8. With the breakthrough described in the article, Spikes could even play "nose tackle" (if we ever switch things up and play a 3-4 in certain down and distance situations), and still be a great run defender. And do that despite being outweighed by the other team's center by a wide margin. Being more instinctive at sniffing out the run can make up for a lack of size. If Spikes underwent the new procedure, it would almost be like he had eyes in the back of his head. You could never surprise him.
  9. OK, so our run defense has been pretty bad for several years now. And Kiko's hurt. So we need somebody else to sniff out running plays and shut 'em down. How are we gonna do that with the talent at hand? Preston Brown's a rookie - - so he's likely to over-pursue and leave cutback lanes. If Aaron Williams is taking Byrd's FS spot, he's gonna be preoccupied with the pass. True, we got several other Williams on the team - - but they ain't Kiko. Marcel Dareus - - well, don't get me started on Marcel's shortcomings. But we are in luck. Advances in stem cell research can now give our weaker players the opportunity to sniff out the run, even if some road-grading OL or smash mouth FB gets them completely turned around at the line of scrimmage. Don't believe me? Read this article - - this breakthrough could have made John DiGiorgio a star: http://www.popsci.com/article/science/woman-grows-nose-her-spine-after-stem-cell-experiment?src=related&con=outbrain&obref=obinsite
  10. Glad they didn't name the band "Alian Invaders"
  11. Maybe we should just send a fake message from Mary Wilson to Bon Jovi inviting him to Mary's house in Grosse Pointe to discuss terms of the sale, and have Jon Cusack meet him in her driveway when he arrives:
  12. It's almost like the tax system creates distortions!
  13. Well, at least the airline finally found my luggage.

  16. I don't think actual math is allowed in this thread. Next thing you know, the Bills will start thinking they should employ real football players.

  18. Given our dismal recent record, I consider this guy the face of the franchise:
  19. So if the NFL considers Toronto a "potential NFL city," Larry Tanenbaum will have to eventually divest his 25% minority ownership interest in the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs? Wouldn't surprise me if he has put options that allow him to sell that 25% stake to the two 37.5% owners of the Leafs whenever he wants, but I wonder if he's prepared to divest his interest in the Leafs in order to complete a purchase of the Bills (assuming he can get over the other hurdles to being the winning bidder)? I suppose the answer is yes, or he wouldn't be part of a bidding group. Either that, or the NFL has advised him that they would make an exception for him.
  20. My brother Darryl's theory is that when Kelsay decided to retire, he passed the photos (that allowed him to get a suspiciously large contract) on to Moorman. The team didn't believe Moorman had those photos, so they cut him. When Moorman proved he indeed had the photos, the team decided they better re-sign him.

  22. Forget the polls, what we really need is a Dolphin cheerleader stripper pole cam. If we're gonna de-mean women, it should be those with allegiance to our AFC East foes.
