Want to buy Doug Marrone's old house in Syracuse?
ChevyVanMiller replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Pretty wild that he paid only $450,000 for it in 2009. I'm guessing that the real estate agent bumped it so high figuring a SU football junkie would pay a premium to live in the former coaches house, no? -

The Buffalo Curse Extended to Even The Beatles

Was looking up WKBW DJ Joey Reynolds for a research project and came across this little nugget of info concerning him and Danny Neaverth. Reynolds and Neaverth, on behalf of WKBW, were offered the chance to bring The Beatles to Buffalo Memorial Auditorium on February 10, 1964, the day after the band had appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. It would have been the Beatles' first concert in North America. Unwilling to risk the $3500 appearance fee for a Monday night concert, in the poor February weather, for an unproven band he did not expect to sell out the auditorium, the two declined the offer. It was not until after Beatlemania swept the nation that they acknowledged that it was a mistake to not bring them in. In the three years the band toured North America, they never performed a show in Buffalo.[2] Oh, what might have been...

These two guys were getting some buzz as possible late-rd QB prospects. Dysert went in the 7th to the Broncos: http://www.muredhawks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=26100&ATCLID=207454263 Lalich, as far as I can tell, wasn't drafted and wasn't signed as an UDFA. Suprising, considering that the kid may have had the best arm in the class: http://www.dailyprogress.com/cavalierinsider/football/former-uva-qb-lalich-hopes-nfl-dreams-come-true-this/article_8acc577c-ade8-11e2-b0a2-0019bb30f31a.html

Watch out for Nickell Robey!!
ChevyVanMiller replied to ChanOverChin's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is what Kiper said in listing him as one of the top UDFAs: CB Nickell Robey, signed by Buffalo Bills What hurt Robey is he lacks size -- at about 5-8, 170 -- and simply didn't work out well enough. Still, the tape shows a competitive guy who was effective in shutting down big receivers such as former Notre Dame star Michael Floyd, who had his worst game of 2011 while dealing with Robey. I have a feeling once Robey gets into OTAs, the Bills will see a guy who competes beyond his size. He's not a star, but he can play. -
Thought it was a movie about this DC hero, but that is way cooler! atom.bmp

EJ Manuel's first few hours as a Buffalo Bill
ChevyVanMiller replied to The Poojer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
EJ impressed the team by throwing well in awful weather during workout. That's good news. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9230958/ej-manuel-impressed-buffalo-bills-good-workout-bad-weather -
Da'Rick Rogers - WR - UDFA
ChevyVanMiller replied to bufffan031's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm sure this has been mentioned already, but if it hasn't Buddy said that when he talked with Rogers during their pre-deaft visit he addressed his legal issues by saying, "If you want to work for an hourly wage for your life that's available to you, but if you want to play in the NFL you need to take it seriously right now." I thought it was great advice for a young man looking to redeem himself. -
We should have taken Nassib in the 4th

Was going to make this point, but you made it perfectly so I'll just say: +1 -
Poll: Grade Draft, EJ Manuel Question
ChevyVanMiller replied to The Voice of Truth's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Funny thing about the draft downgrading is that most of the experts had the Bills taking Nassib or Barkley in the 1st and would have given them a much higher grade if they had. Yet, both of them lasted until the 4th round so if they had been taken in the 1st rd the Bills would have WAY overreached for them. Bottom line is that the Bills got the guy they wanted and f*ck Kiper and the rest of that lot. -
Da'Rick Rogers - WR - UDFA
ChevyVanMiller replied to bufffan031's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I know it's splitting hairs, but can you be the steal of the draft when you weren't drafted? I think steal of the post-draft would be the proper verbage. With that said, I hope the kid becomes a superstar. -
I'd have loved to see the Bills do this, but I know they'd: never pick their own QB at the top of the board instead of Kiper's, take a polished WR in the 2nd instead of waiting 'til the late rounds, take a 2nd WR who is the fastest guy in the draft, grab a hard-hitting Safety over a guy Marrone had a Syracuse, take the top kicker in the draft and grab a TE in Rd. 7 who runs like a gazelle. I must be dreaming...

Buffalo, USA - City of No Illusions
ChevyVanMiller replied to DC Tom's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Curious about the "R" in Robert Moses' name. I've never seen a middle initial associated with him. A quick Google search showed no mention of it - even his tombstone says, simply: Robert Moses. Considering what is happening with the parkway named after him in Niagara Falls maybe it stands for "Rip it up." -

Marrone sure must not think much of his Syracuse players. First passing on nassib and now Thomas. -
Live NFL Draft 2013 draft thread
ChevyVanMiller replied to WhitewalkerInPhilly's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Great pic!!!!!! -
1.) Hearing Roger Waters say, "This one was written when I was the young, fuc*ed up, Roger of Pink Floyd," during The Wall tour a few years back. 2.) Watching Neil Young kick in the bass drum after he introduced "Down By The River" as, "A song I wrote one night when I let the dark side take control" during the "Old Ways" tour (which was all country songs, except for that one moment) 3.) Watching Rickie Lee Jones' band jump off stage and rock the crowd up and down the aisles at Shea's after the singer stumbled off-stage drunk, Jack daniel's bottle in hand, and didn't return for 45 full-minutes.

Nice to see you back posting Aussie. You bring both beauty and intelligence to this board.

Kiper's 2nd Rd. Mock 41. Buffalo Bills Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee They really need a speed option at receiver. Here's your guy. 46. Buffalo Bills (from St. Louis) Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama Takes pressure off C.J. Spiller, but a home run threat himself. Also helps with short-yardage situations.

Just want to echo what many have said here, Scott. I was really bummed when the board crashed, but it just made me realize how much I appreciate the community you've created here.

I'm cool with that just as long as we grab his girlfriend with the 7th we picked up from the Rams.
