Around 2003.5

Considering that we were pacing the Broncos for the better part of the season as the only two teams putting up 20 or more every game, with very few points from the D and special teams (field goals notwithstanding), I'd say he did alright. Also don't forget, he was doing that with two injured RB's and a carousel of injured and inexperienced QB's. I'm not saying it couldn't have been better, but all things being equal, he did at least an average job. Far from being in over his head IMHO.

I'm not always good with this stuff, but something shirt, easy to remember, and conveys the basic premise seems to be the most effect way. Maybe something like #JK4Madden2014. I'm sure there are better ones but something along those lines might be good. Oh and make sure to get the Bills Mafia on it, if they aren't already.

You need to make a good hashtag for it.

I think Holder is a racist douche, but this comment is misleading. Segregation didn't end 150 years ago. Plenty of people that are still alive today experienced it, and to say that it didn't have long lasting negative consequences is shortsighted. I agree that we need to address root causes and stop with the racially motivated band-aids. But there has to be an equal push from within these affected communities.

Note "long term status". Someone could move the team after the lease expires. Maybe someone buys the team with the intent of keeping them here, but in 2025 decides "screw it, I can make more in LA". That's a simplistic take, but I think that's what's meant by long term, at least in this specific inrpretation.

Speaking of lawyers, I love how all of the sudden everyone on TBD seems to have earned their juris doctorate over the winter, and are now fully versed in the interpretation and execution of legal contracts. Also, if you believe Tim G and the minority of posters are being wet blankets (and to be fair a few are going out of their way to be as negative as possible, but I suppose that is not an uncommon mentality for Bills fans) then just ignore them. If you feel their opinions are without merit, don't give them any attention. When the team is sold to a local owner, they are just going to find something else to try and aggrivate you.

My thought is that most of them probably have real jobs and did this for fun/exposure/etc. You wanna make real money dancing? Go work at 24K...

I can only assume it was their ties to organized crime. Jeremy Jacobs father and uncle were named as unidicted co-conspirators in some mafia thing back in the 70's. I believe there was a car bombing and some other stuff that went down. It's not exactly a secret. Unless there is something else you're referring to that we're all unaware of.

I don't mean to be anal about it, but I doubt he is trying to soften the blow. Probably just covering his ass so he doesn't take one in the butt from her lawyers. Best to finish now before he gets his big money shot, so instead of sucking on the field because he's distracted, he can instead focus on the come from behind victories.

Loving it. Nice wind down to follow GoT.

I was actually lurking. You had it covered. But the more I read, the more I couldn't believe that Security was debating in good faith and it looked like he was just trolling.

He can't be this dumb. This has to be iEatCrayonz with a new ID.

Considering the substantial partnership he has with the Bills, him complimenting them isn't really a surprise. If nothing else Jacobs would love to continue selling $10.00 beers there on Sundays in the fall. Regarding his influence, it goes well beyond the NHL. He's a member of the US department of commerce travel advisory board, and rubs elbows pretty regularly with major players in DC.

Not necessarily, the NFL has made exceptions in the past, so there is precedent. You may very well be correct that he has no intention of buying the team. He also could easily back his sons in the purchase and not need to change anything relative to his ownership of the Bruins. Or he really has no plans whatsoever. It's all conjecture at this point. But my intent was to convey that he hadn't explicitly ruled out an interest in owning the Bills.

Note it doesn't say he isn't interested, but that he won't sell the Bruins in order to do it.

I don't think they need to block the bid. They'll likely just refuse it. If anything I'm willing to bet this group knows they will get shot down and are using it as a "practice run" so to speak, and really show their intent to the NFL. Also, don't pay too much attention to TG. He often has some glaring errors in his articles. For example JBJ's publicist never denied his interest in owning an NFL team, contrary to what TG reported today.

DNC already services almost 1/4 of the stadiums in the NFL. The current owners would probably have no issue bending the ownership rules for one of their own.

To be fair I think he fired Sambora because of substance abuse. The rest I agree with; I don't want him anywhere near the Bills

One tough dude. Wishing him the best.

For those of you on the fence about going, I've been seeing tons of people in the village of OP picking up beer, bloody mary mix, all of whom are wearing their Bills gear. Looks like it's gonna be a sweet party. I'll be there soon!

I might go. I mean I'm only two miles away. It might be nice to meet some of you in person and raise a glass to Mr. Wilson.

I believe that you're Jeremy White!

Be careful, that will get you yelled at on WGR for disagreeing with Dope.

You're a mod - get on making an emoticon for that.
