Gruden just re-upped with ESPN for five more years....I think he is staying in tv.

Cowhers' situation is a little different. Don't forget, he is still relatively young, and, his wife died in that five year time period. If not for that, he likely would have come back sooner. On TV, he doesn't strike me like Gruden, or even Dungy, guys who enjoy hearing themselves talk. Cowher is a football coach, and will be again. I think Cowher will come back. I don't think it will be the Dolphins (flakey ownership), but I could picture him in Philly, Houston, Chicago or NY Giants. All have coaches who are always on thin ice.

I don't have the Ticket, so, here in Austin, we have, possibly the worst games to choose from: 12pm- FOX- Seahawks @Browns (they always show Colt McCoy, given a chance: 6-3 with 10:06 left) CBS- Texans @Titans (Looked like it might be a good one, but Texans up 41-7 late 3pm- FOX- Rams @Cowboys (Cowboys..nuf said!) Then the night game lookes like a snoozer as well....Colts @Saints A lost football weekend for me...might actually watch more baseball than football this week...that never happens!

Starting to think that "Tea Party" is code for "petty little bitches"

I know, right? Obama has single-handily created the concept of campaigning for a second term. I don't remember any president in my lifetime ever campaigning while in office. If you guys could hear yourselves sometimes... Hey /dev/null, you do realize, Obama didn't write this book, right? I mean you can write, so I assume you can read as well?

From the sounds of it, the guy was devastated that he wasn't playing in Chicago any more. He was a Bear for 13 years, and never envisioned playing anywhere else. For some reason, I had this strange feeling (only a feeling, not based on anything I know) that Lee Evans is going through something similar. Regardless, if you don't want to play anymore, I would guess, you are hurting the team more than anything. Kreutz did say that he didn't want to "collect a paycheck if his heart wasn't anymore". The Saints are not obligated to pay him any guranteed money.

Wow...that sucks for the Saints. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7131226/agent-center-olin-kreutz-walking-away-new-orleans-saints

"South of the border....down Mexico way..." Uncle Junior was awesome...one of my all-time favorite lines, from Junior: "I got the Feds so far up my ass, I can taste the bryl-creem" Favorite Tony Soprano line, one I use often...talking to Dr Melfi after getting out of his coma: "I am trying to stop and smell the roses...they say every day is a gift, so why does it always have to be a !@#$ing tie?"

I will sell mine for $38.99, free shipping! Honeslty, I have a hideous pair of Broncos zubas, from back in the day... somebody I worked with at an old job gave them to me for Christmas, becase they thought I was a Broncos fan, instead of a Bills fan...or they re-gifted! btw- saw somebody sporting Bills zubas at the Bills/Giants game this past weekend...bad memories.

To me, when you are not sure, go with the most consistent guy...Hasselbeck.

Yeah, I remember that...I had tickets for that game, but was sick as a dog...my roommate and his budddy went. I was watching on TV, and remember Dierdorf going on and on about how bad the scene was, in the stands. My roommate said it was pretty hideous as well.

Honestly, I like Moulds, but I think he was more overrated than underrated. When he started to experience success, I always kind of thought he put as much effort into trying to convince refs that he was interfered with, rather than trying to catch the damn ball. I realize, this may have been later in his career, but I thing after the huge year he had in 2002 with Bledsoe, his effort slipped a bit. Used to really frustrate me, watching him belly-ache to the refs, after every play that went in his direction. Great player, IMO, but could have been even better.

HBO doesn't fire people for saying controversial things, it encourages it. I really like Gumbles' show on HBO, but he is an idiot. Of all the people to attack, on this issue, David Stern? Really? What a jack-ass. There may be nobody in modern sports who has done more to break down racial barriers than Stern. I have problems with Stern at times, but being a racist isn't one of them.

Dolphins fans have come up with the cute phrase "Dolphins Suck for Luck"! Some playere are not happy about it!

This could be really good. Certainly a great creative team... http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/mick-jagger-martin-scorsese-terence-winter-hbo-249892

Agreed. When the Bills "got good" from 1988-1990, I would hazard a guess that Norwoods' leg won the Bills a good 8 or 9 games. That kick in Super Bowl 25 was not a chip shot, like some presume. He wasn't never known for having an extra strong leg, but a very accurate one. Anything outside of 45 yards was outside his "automatic" zone.

Actually, I think what you are all mis-remembering, the Bills had a deal to trade Mike Williams (OL-bust from Texas) to the Lions. Somehow, the paperwork didn't get submitted on time...the trade was voided. The Bills ended up cutting Williams, who then tried to negotiate his own deal with the Lions, and it fell through. He ended up spending a season with the Jags (2006 or 2007...memory is hazy) before being out of the game for a few years, and landing with the Redskins. As for the Ronnnie Brown deal, sucks for me. I thought I was being shrewd, and picked up Brown for my fantasy football team, early this morning...I need a running back, bad!

I have been seeing the large Fatheads on EBAY for as low as $20...they used to be $100. I think the bottom has fallen out of the Fathead market....

I think, in general, all Bills greats (except possibly OJ Simpson) are underrated, depending on who is doing the rating. I am always shocked to see some of the stuff that people here post about the greatest players in team history...it seems, somewhere along the way, it became in vougue to trash the Super Bowl era greats... but anyway, off my soap-box. Some of my all-time favorite Bills, most aren't mentioned as franchise greats: 1- Travis Henry: sure the guy was a complete maroon off the field, but I don't think there was any guy, in this dark decade, who gave it his all, more consistently, when he was on the field, than TH! 2- Peerless Price V.1: Leaving Buffalo was bad for his career, and, as it turned out, bad for the Bills too. IMO, for about two years, he had some of the sweetest after the catch moves in recent times...Roscoe Parrish could learn a thing or two, watching the good Price. He created his own space. In his second stint with the team, he clearly had lost a bit, but still was a team leader, and seemed to appreciate his time in Buffalo, after straying from the fold. 3- Steve Freeman- Still one of my favorite Bills of all time...not the fastest safety ever, but one of the smartest. Played on some gawd-awful Bills teams, so he isn't thought of much. 4- Eugene Marve- just missed out on the glory years of the Bills going to Super Bowls. Solid linebacker, was under-appreciated before Talley made it popular! 5- Luscious Sanford- see Eugene Marve 6- Joe Cribbs- okay, most knowledgeable Bills fans realize this guy was a phenomenal player, but, over recent years, every time this topic comes up, posters who likely never saw him play, say he wasn't any good, and recall more about him going to the USFL, than they do all the great times he spent on the Knox-era Bills teams. Had he been with a more stable franchise, I believe, Cribbs would be considered one of the greatest players of the 80's. 7- Antwain Smith- I know I will get crap for this, but I think, almost more than anything else, one of Wade Phillips greatest blunders as Bills head coach, was letting Joe Pendry relegate, by far, our best running back, to spot duty, while mediocre talents like Jonathan Linton and Sean Bryson took turns gaining 1.2 yards per carry. Smith was clearly the best RB of the trio, but, for whatever reason, could not stay on the OC's good side...it shortened his time in Buffalo. I can still remember, many, many games where the "not-so dynamic duo" would struggle to get yards, Smith would come in for a few carries, get 5-7 yards per, only to get dragged back to the bench. Waste of a talented player. Just a handful that come to mind...

I don't know...a "Walking Dead" talk show? If the poll was that lopsided, you have to wonder how many people voted...

Heard on the radio, Titans are already sniffing around Owens...good for him...better for us.
