It would then be revealed that a succession plan has been in place and the new owner(s) would be announced (Jim Kelly among them?)to the nation. At least that's what I am hoping because I do not believe that the team's sudden reversal from letting good players walk to now locking them up long-term and from being a ghost in top-tier free agency to signing the top two pass rushers on the market is being orchestrated by an aging owner in ever-declining health who has all but disappeared from the public spotlight. I think the next owners already have (undisclosed) minority ownership status and have say in how their future possession is being run.

Can't argue much with your choices. Here's one on each list that I'll add: Favorite: Frank Lewis - Just thought he was a fluid route runner and a pro's pro. Least Favorite - Reggie Rogers - The Bills' only convicted killer (pre O.J., that is).

Glad to see the NFL display brass ones on this issue. Player safety should be the top priority. A full year for Vilma will send a real message!

What a great thread. You all make a lot of great points about archaic language and I've been busy blasting them out on my cb radio to all of my good buddies with their ears on.

This will make you feel better about the pick (if you don't feel that way already)... Gilmore - 8th rated player in entire draft

Nice job, Astro. You accounted yourself well. Let's hope you're right about Kuechley.

Really funny stuff - especially about the preseason and end-of-season games. Oh, and "based on his name, I thought Frosty Rucker was a NASCAR driver" is priceless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=wGfLFmlU8zo

Came across this nugget on Youtube and thought I'd share. Two observations: 1.) Thurman was even better than you probably remember (Andre, too) 2.) About the last name that springs to mind when someone says "Super Bowl Years" is Kirby Jackson. but he had a monster trio of games as seen here. 1991 Bills Highlights

I got a text from a friend in California - it was a national event for sure!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I should add that I was right along for the ride and I was as non-productive as anyone as I was banging on the F5 key on the Mario thread waiting for the news that he'd signed.

My latest, along with a sincere thanks to Scott for devoting his time and energy to TBD and TSW. It is a great honor to be a part of this online community. Williams Signing Good News For Bills

That's what they make Cialis for.

At least Whitner made the All-Rookie team, there have been far worse 1st round selections in recent years by the Bills.

You can finally put a bullet in this thread. No Mario Bros. in Buffalo. Manningham signs with 49ers

I ...was...going...to...say...5...but...the...allure...of...the...hypnotoad...is ...making...me...say...10!

Awesome! The only thing you forgot was: - Lettering on "F5" button worn off on thousands of Bills' fan's computers due to an unknowable number of refreshes of a certain thread on TSW.

(Super) Mario "Freaking" Williams is a Buffalo Bill. At least for today, we stole every bit of thunder in the NFL and it feels sooooo good! My love for Buddy Nix grew more than the Grinch's heart today. Thank you Bills! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Or a variation of this classic with Mauck playing the part of Luca Brasi and Marv as the Godfather. Luca Brasi held a gun to his head, and my father assured him that either his brains or his signature would be on the contract.

This day (hopefully) will live in infamy on TSW as the day Mario signed AND the day a whole group of computer-challenged guys learned the beauty of the "F5" refresh.

Is he credible? GREAT news if true!!!!!

Sales 101 - Once you're in the house (or in this case, they're in yours) don't leave without a signature. Come on Buddy, the immediate future hinges on this move - please GET 'ER DONE!!!!!

Just confirmed by ESPN and WGR550= props Metzy... :thumbsup:
