I figured that one was a given, but absolutely C.J. is a huge lure to land Kelly.

I think the Bills have a great opportunity with Kelly today. He has stated that he wants to make his decision "fast." The Bills are the first team in and they have previously indicated that they will pursue Kelly "hard." Couple that with Russ Brandon's open commitment to analytics and there just might be a chance for a home run today. If I was Russ I would tell Kelly 3 things - 1.) We want to be the standard bearer for analytic football and will give you wide range to establish it to your liking on the NFL level, 2.) We have the 8th pick in the draft and you can use that (either in keeping it or trading it) to get the QB you need to make your offense click and 3.) You have an opportunity here to knock NE and Belichick off of their decade + long perch and become a demigod to Buffalo fans. Also, I am working under the assumption that there is a succession plan in place and Russ would intimate that to all of the coaching candidates, thus defusing any concerns about franchise instability. Russ and Whaley need to take the lead here and play the youth card with Kelly. Keep Buddy in the background with his piehole zipped. If they can pull it off things could get really exciting around here really fast. Get 'er done, Russ.

Thanks, Scott. I uninstalled and reinstalled the WGR app and had the same problem. Then I downloaded Tunein and am listening to the hockey program right now. Looking forward to checking out some of the other channels, too. Thanks again for the tip.

I downloaded the app (android phone) and every time I try to use the player feature it gives me an error code. Anyone else have that problem?

If the Bills are really going to interview McCoy it looks like no decisions will be made until at least the end of the weekend. ESPN Jeff Dickerson #Broncos are reportedly giving teams a window to interview OC Mike McCoy in Denver between Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening. #Bears

Any interest in a coach with a SB ring who says he's willing to listen if teams are interested? Mike Holmgren is available and just happens to live in Phoenix. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8799057/mike-holmgren-listen-teams-express-interest

I wouldn't be surprised if sale has already been made and this move is part of the bargain from the new owners.

I think he's essentially out now. Just letting him save face because he is so well loved within the organization.

I think it's a great development. Russ is a WNY guy who has worked hard to cement the team here by moving TC to Rochester and establishing the Toronto series. I think he'll be working behind the scenes to broker a deal with new ownership as well. Also, I think Nix is essentially done now - neutered by the firing of a coach that he said he was going to retain despite his putrid record. Whaley will have a HUGE hand in selecting the new coach and the new QB in the draft. Great day to be a Bills fan! 2013 is looking up.

This should really excite the coaching candidates. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Buffalo-Bills-sign-five-future-free-agents/461130f5-f4d4-4ffc-a74c-49d793b5705c

Gotta think Nix will go, too, seeing as how he went on record saying he wanted continuity with Gailey. Can't imagine he'd throw him under the bus just to stay on.

I thought I saw him in one shot on the broadcast - of course I was watching on the internet, so it may have been Mary Friona

This sums up my experience as a fan of the team. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvzdehnJA9k

Nice! Come on people, give me a few more that should have made the list!

10.) Chan Gailey forgoes his normal game day threads for a Shoeless Joe jersey. 9.) Jairus Byrd sent out to field punts wearing a blindfold. 8.) Marcell Dareus put at WR and told to just “go long” on every play. 7.) Pre-game pep talk delivered by Coach from South Korean Women’s Olympic Badminton team. 6.) Stevie Johnson caught spraying his hands with no-stick Pam during warm-ups. Click below to see the top 5 http://niagarahub.com/2012/12/28/pre-snap-reads-anything-but-a-win-against-the-jets/

Just want to wish all of my Bills' brothers and sisters a very Merry Christmas! Your support and encouragement of the 1st year of the Bills' Thrills column has been overwhelming. Our return to football glory will come, but I think being connected as Bills' fans is a pretty amazing gift, don't you? This week's column is a bit of a hodgepodge - it's a bit of a recap of the game, a bit of a look at the QBs available in the draft and a list of 5 great gifts for the Bills' fan on your list. Here are 4 of the 5 (I have them all, btw) Without looking, can you guess the 5th? (Here's a hint: It's almost impossible to buy one now, as they never come up for sale. You'd probably need to know a gangster to get your hands on one.) 2.) A Joe DeLamielleure HOF Bobblehead 3.) A case of Andre Reed’s “Over the Middle” BBQ Sauce 4.) A Cassette tape of Marv Levy’s “Go Bills” anthem 5.) An unopened box of Flutie Flakes http://niagarahub.co...-fish-in-miami/

Bells Supermarkets had that promotion. I remember bringing my binoculars so that I could see the wedding ring on Swen Nater's sneakerlaces.

Thank you for putting the season's failures in perspective. Kinda pales when compared to the lives our service personnel are living overseas. Welcome home, thank you and may all of your comrades come home soon, too.

Well, there is a game on Sunday – you know, “Squish the Fish,” and all that jazz. The two teams aren’t playing for anything other than draft order. Sure, Miami is still mathematically alive for the playoffs, but so are the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA and you know there’s no chance of that happening. This week, our Pre-Snap reads look will be one made backward as we list the “5 Most Hated Dolphins of All-Time.” http://niagarahub.fatcow.com/category/nfl-football/

I'm with Promo. It's a much better deal than I ever envisioned them getting done. It secures the team for 7 solid years and gives the area 2,556 days to figure out how to finance a new stadium to keep them here forever (maybe with a new owner that will hire competent people). Great job by Mark Poloncarz! Thank you!

Love the Braves. Who remembers going to games at the old Aud watching players like McAdoo, Smith, Ernie D and more? http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=400278108

^^Bump^^

Occasionally, I'm quite inspired.

Just to clarify: The column is 5 moves that I would make now - as in over the last two games of the season. There are a host more - and you've touched on many - that I would do in the off-season. If I was in charge, Gailey would be gone now, so that I have the first hop in cherry-picking the young coach/college coach field, Nix would be told that it's Whaley's team the second the game with the Jets is through. Lots of great ideas being put forth, though. Too bad the Bills don't create a Fan Forum and get some input from their shareholders on the big decisions.
