  1. Looking back that sure was one brutal draft. RIP JB
  2. You know what I meant. If you're the GM are you thinking, how will I feel if I cut this exemplary young man and he's killed in combat overseas? You know if that happened this board would be filled with posts about how he'd still be alive if he were on the roster. I know if I was the GM it would give me great pause for concern.
  3. Great column in the Buffalo News this morning about the Army FB and the Armed Forces' new rule allowing pro athletes to resist deployment to the Middle East in return for serving as a recruiter. Just wondering: If it came down to Viti and another FB at the end of training camp could the Bills possibly cut the kid knowing that it was a one-way ticket to Iraq?
  4. You had some great lines this week - the JL/Seacrest anticrist and DA's dad giving him the belt being two shining examples. I completely concur that DA has that Deaf nasal monotone sound going often. My wife thinks I'm off-base - glad that someone else hears it also.
  5. For the benefit of my hometown Niagara Falls 2008 City Draft
  6. Not to pick any bones with SI, but wasn't Poz a 2nd rounder last year?
  7. It did occur to me that a marketing genius like Russ Brandon missed the boat by not continuing the tradition with Berman. It's great PR, that's for sure.
  8. Don't know how much technology has changed, but for what its worth about a decade ago my buddy's mom used to sit at her scanner and listen to the cordless phone calls made by her neighbors. The neighbors were two college-aged girls that had very active sex lives. The mom said listening to their calls was like having a real-life steamy soap opera to tune into each day. I'd get a landline.
  9. I read the first few lines of this report and had an overwhelmng urge to run out and rent a Harvey Fierstein video. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
  10. Your in-depth reporting on just what he said is amazing. Thanks, his words of praise will ring in my ears for days. (Sarcasm on)
  11. Thanks. I also needed to click on "satallite."
  12. I must be the only idiot that can't get this to work. When I drag the guy to a street he just pops back to where he started. What am I doing wrong?
  13. It's finally here - Christmas morning for football junkies. With all of the depressing talk of the very real reality of the Bills moving away once Ralph kicks the bucket I'm going to go on record with the following vow: No matter what the Bills do today, I'm going to be okay with their decisions. No bitching, no complaining, no "but my Our Lads says this guy is a reach." If the day comes when the Bills are gone, draft day, which I've enjoyed for decades, will be dead to me. So I raise a glass to you my Bills brothers and sisters and stand with you to salute this team that matters to us in the deepest depths of our souls one more time. Salute!

  15. You make a valid point, but would those guys all peacefully coexist on one team? For instance, would Rivers be content to sit 3rd on the depth chart? How about Lee as a 3rd down slot receiver? A lot of guys become stars in the league because there is little talent ahead of them on the roster when they are drafted. That wouldn't be the case in this scenario. Plus, there would be no one to pull Rookie pranks.
  16. Every year as I look at the draft guides I can't help but think that there are a whole host of guys that would help the Bills at various positions. With that thought in mind, here's the question: You are the GM of an expansion team. The NFL gives you two choices to stock your team. The first is the way that it has usually been done - you get the top pick in each round and a supplemental draft where teams have to leave X amount of players unprotected. Or, you can have the first 53 selections in the draft. The only caveat is that you must fill out a standard roster with those picks. For example, you would pick 3 QB's, 4 RB's, 5 WR's etc. You couldn't select the top 10 O-Linemen and then deal them to other teams for players. You'd also be exempted from the salary cap. Would you take that deal? You'd have an all-rookie team, but with higher average picks then the rest of the league by far. Could a team put together like that be exceptional? Btw, I've debated it out and find pros and cons either way.
  17. Do you think a 3rd is enough to move back?
  18. Mock Draft Bills move back and pick WR Devin Thomas It's rare when you find a mock that speculates on trades. It seems reasonable that, considering what the Bills need and where they pick, a trade back could happen. Do you like the scenario that they have here?
  19. "Well, officers, I was just making my rounds when this sew-and-sew went all Britany flashing her undersmile at me and I tanked it into the canal. He sure does clean up nice though."
  20. This just in...Forbes has made my listing of the 10 Most Miserable Magazines, coming in at #2. Tiger Beat took top honors as they were the only ones with worse writers than Forbes.
  21. I had this thought after Johns was booted: Instead of voting for the best (or worst, ie Sanjaya sp?) how about voting for the person that does a song with a prophetic meaning if they're booted? It happens all the time - I remember a couple of years ago someone got botted after singing "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" by Boys II Men. This week it was Johns with "Dream On." He sang the lyric "Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away." Sure enough he did - albeit two days later because of the "Gives Back" special. Just a thought, but it would make viewing alot more interactive.
  22. No way do the Bills go Guard at #11. Even in a year where OL is a big priority (not the case now) #11 is LT $$$ - not guard. It's funny how a slow 40 time drops a guy a full round. Three days ago every mock had the Bills taking Kelly at #11 - now everyone thinks he'll be there at 41. I think he'll be nothing but a memory by the 21st pick. Sweed seems more likely at 41. As for everything else you've got - I'd take it in a New York minute. Hey, you asked for eggs and tomatoes.
  23. Okay, if it wasn't in both the title and thread itself I'd let it go, but no soup for you. It's Green Bay - two words, both capitalized.
  24. Prostitution should not be criminal. Paid for by the Committee to keep Eliot Spitzer out of jail. "I'm Eliot Spitzer and I approve of this message."
  25. Great pics. I'm glad you're both doing well.
