I'm bored. The draft is over, FA has come to a crawl and training camp is 3 months away. I may have even posted this poll in the past! So what is your favorite thread? For you newbies who weren't around, feel free to find these threads in the archive forum and have at it.

Not funny at all and please don't encourage them. It will only serve to drag down the "sports" related talk even more.

My biggest problem with WGR is uniformed hosts. Would it kill them to pick up a draft magazine and do a little research? How about following the NBA at least during the playoffs, just in case someone wants to call in and talk about it? That way the response wouldn't have to be "I hate the NBA". How about doing some research in regards to other NFL and NHL teams? I am amazed that they are not required by Andy Roth to expand their sports knowledge and do more show prep. I would rather listen to Brian Koziol over Schoop or the Bulldog from 3-7 any day of the week. Whatever happened to "sports talk for smart people" Schoop? Anyone remember "One on One Sports" with John Murphy and later on, Howard Simon? It seems the bar they set has now been lowered to a couple of inches off the ground. Thanks god for Sirius NFL Radio!

Nice write up! Even if only four of the top five picks end up being quality starters within two years. I'd be ecstatic.

He woke up around the beginning of the 4th round and wanted to know if Rodney Wright was still available.

Actually, if the Bills switched to the 3-4 defense and got rid of the crap they are running now, Maybin would be a perfect fit as a OLB.

While I really like some of the picks(especially Wood and Levitre), can we wait until they show something on the field before proclaiming Brandon to be a genius? Until that time, this decade of Bills football continues to be forgettable all the way from the owner, to the front office staff, the coaches and the players.

There could be 100 sources who consider Jauron to be underrated and it wouldn't matter one bit...He still sucks as a HC. Fire him after this year along with "tampa 2/find me smaller players" Fewell.

Way to cross the line you idiot.

Who the hell eats in the stadium after tailgating for several hours?

You would think with a PR/Marketing guy in charge that the "mini-camp/select a seat" day would be reinstated. Then again, this is the same team that doesn't want to hold a draft event in the fieldhouse which would be open to the public instead of just season ticket holders. I guess when you can continue to sell out the stadium despite putting a crappy product on the field for more than a decade, you don't really need to go above and beyond.

Simmons?

Obviously we won't know until he sees some action in the preseason, but I have been thinking about these questions regarding Maybin... -Is his best position OLB in the 3-4 and if so, do the Bills consider a switch when(not if) Dick is fired after this season? -If it turns out that he cannot defense the run and ends up being a situational pass rusher who can get 8 sacks per season, did the Bills blow the #11 pick overall? -How much weight can he put on without losing his greatest asset which is his quickness? They say he is around 250 now. I would like to believe that considering he is 6'4" that he could go up to 260 without losing the speed, but hoping the extra bulk would allow him to defend the run better and become a 3 down player.

Excellent! Now the 4th round pick that we would have used to get Levi can be used to get Scheffler, Henderson or Boldin.

OLB

You just aced NFL Schedule Reading. Congratulations and good luck with NFL Terminology.

I don't get it. Does this mean bandit27=belichick?

I think he was primarily a RT, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Mort was a complete joke at the draft table yesterday. He could have been the guy they cut to from time to time back in the studio. It should have been Wingo, Jaws and Kiper, losing Mort and Herm Edwards. Speaking of ESPN's coverage, day 1 should be Boomer and Kiper. I guess since the networks think is is good to have a cast of thousands on the pregame show, it should be the same thing in regards to the draft. They need to be reminded of the KISS principle.
