  1. Except that there is but one God, however you spell or misspell. One means one, capitalized or not.
  2. Just for the record, 1. I both love and fear God. I do not fear Josh Allen. 2. This poll is tantamount to taking God's Name in vain. 3. If you think I've got my panties in a bunch, over this particular topic I damn well do.
  3. If the Bills were not in Buffalo, I'm not sure I would know what 'NFL' stands for.
  4. Au contraire. He stood tall and strong on this.
  5. A longshot from deep in the pack...Quinton Morris, rookie TE from Bowling Green.
  6. It was at St. John Fisher, the second or third training camp practice under this new coach. It got hot and things got lackluster out there. The players were going through the motions. McDermott blew his whistle and ran from position group to position group, directing everyone to the center of the field. We couldn't hear what was said, but you could tell by McDermott's gesticulations that he was reading them the riot act. The players then hustled back to their position groups with palpably improved purpose and focus. Some of us in the crowd, who had regularly attended training camp during the relaxed Rex Ryan years, sensed that we had just witnessed the changing of the guard.
  7. Yes. The losers from the Buffalo Bills latched on to some leadership elsewhere and rode their coattails all the way to a ring. Meanwhile, McDermott/Beane were drafting, recruiting, and developing leaders here.
  8. You must mean winners instead of the losers we endured for 17 years.
  9. "Available" is an odd word to choose as you attempt to sing the praises of "Star."
  10. We could get three or four fat asses for what we pay for Star McNoShow.
  11. Watch today's McDermott interview. Read between the lines. Look up "terse."
  12. Cut his fat ass.
  13. Methinks you have badly misinterpreted the evidence.
  14. You do realize that he finished last in a qualifying heat. You do realize that he was not running in the USA Olympic Trials, but that he finished last in a qualifying heat (not the finals) against a field of runners who were attempting to gain entrance into the U.S.A. Olympic Trials (where the USA Olympic entrants will be determined.) What it all means is that he ran dead last in a low-level race full of wannabes, who were attempting to secure a spot in a further race, in order to secure a spot in a further race in order to secure a spot in a further race in order to secure a spot in a further race in order to secure a spot in the Olympics where somebody from Jamaica, or Trinidad, or Timbuktu will embarrass them. It is fortunate, for Metcalf, that he did not qualify for further fields of runners where he would be totally humiliated. He is a very fast football player.
  15. As directed, starting at 44:00 I listened to one minute of that. My takeaway is that soon, and very soon, to "express" ourselves we will all just grunt and fart at each other.
  16. I fail to see why a team can't play four tackles. Aren't tackles the designated QB bodyguards? So if your best asset is Josh Allen, and you pass far more than run, why not put the best bodyguards out there? I remember the days when each team played a strong safety and a free safety. I have not heard those designations in quite a while. Perhaps the offensive line designations will fade away as well. Maybe Beane is on to something.
  17. ...and another one jumps the shark.
  18. Fred Jackson: Pass-blocking. Screens. Check-downs. Straight-arms. Leadership. And all of the above delivered with a D-3 chip on his shoulder.
  19. The O.J Simpson trade to the 49ers (in 1978) got the Bills the pick that they used (in 1983) to select Jim Kelly. It's a long story, and here it is: n 1978, the Buffalo Bills trade O.J. Simpson to the San Francisco 49ers. the 49ers traded their second- and third-round picks in 1978, first and fourth-round picks in 1979, and a 1980 second-round to acquire Simpson. That 1979 first rounder would become the number one overall pick, though at the time of the trade in 1978 no one could know that. Buffalo used those draft picks to acquire DE Scott Hutchinson and WR Danny Fulton in 1978, DE Tom Cousineau and DE Ken Johnson in 1979, and RB Joe Cribbs in 1980. The first overall pick in 1979, Cousineau would never play for the Bills, however, instead opting to go to the CFL. The Montreal Alouettes offered him twice as much money as the Bills and he headed north. When he returned to the NFL, the Bills were able to obtain the 14th overall pick in the 1983 NFL draft plus a pair of pick in 1984 from the Cleveland Browns instead of signing Cousineau to a massive deal. That 14th overall pick would become Jim Kelly, who also refused to play for the Bills and opted to head to the USFL. So it eventually worked out, but it took seven years.
