  1. Check out this auction: Rob Johnson Bobblehead It is supposed to be a Rob Johnson piece, but it looks just like my JK bobblehead with a #11 paint-over. What do you think?
  2. A column on the mainpage said that Whitner paid five figures to Shaud for #20. 10 grand + to a guy that probably would have had to give up the number when he's cut in a week or two? Glad to see those NFL money management courses are paying off for the rook.
  3. Great news! Finally, the full draft class is at camp. Lost in the haze of such giddy moments is the fact that someone gets sent packing to make room on the roster. Josh Brazen we hardley knew ya.
  4. The AP writer of this piece: Bills Story states that, "The Greatest Show on Turf might work in the wild NFC West and the controlled environment of the Rams' indoor stadium. But this is Buffalo where, come late November, the snow falls, the winds blow and the mercury takes a nosedive." A wonderful observation except for the fact that the K-Gun existed and thrived despite those same weather conditions. The 51-3 pasting of the Raiders was a Jim Kelly aerial masterpiece painted in the face of howling January winds. I'm not saying that the current Bills can pull off that type of offense, but to say that they won't try because of the weather is a foolish statement - and one that is disproved by history. Talent - not weather - will keep the Bills from a high-octane offense this year.
  5. Sorry if this has been posted before, but if you haven't seen this - it's hilarious! Barney Sabres Logo This has to be the worst logo in Buffalo sports history!
  6. Gibson spent a couple of days at one of the hotels in N.F., Ontario that I work with. I had a chance to rap with him and he's a very well-spoken guy. I don't know how he'll grade out on the field, but I can tell you that, in person, he blocks out the sun. Hopefully, McNally can work some magic with this guy.
  7. What seems to be missing from this discussion is the fact that Flutie's "miracle" season of 1999 spurred the sale of suites and premium boxes and led directly to the Bills staying in Buffalo. I'm convinced that without Flutie the Bills would have left town after that season. Whether you loved him or hated him you damned sure should add him to your prayers each night because if he wasn't a Bill the team probably would be in another city today.
  8. Is there any way to synch up the radio call for Sabres games with the TV feed? I have DirecTV and the radio feed with Jenneret and Lorenz is a good 5 seconds ahead of the OLN TV image - making it impossible to handle. I need to hear RJ call the Carolina series. Has technology created a radio that has a delay button? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
  9. Coy Wire. Oh, I know, go ahead and snicker if you must. Just ask yourself one question: Have any of the current WOF members ever been on the front of a Coke machine? I think not!
  10. State and Main My turn, "I had to tell Sal that Wyoming's not a country."
  11. Why don't you ask Ralph? His ears are still ringing from the Big Bang.
  12. You're evil, but I like the way you think. Can you imagine 20 wasted guys walking into Peppermints screaming, "Someone told us you have the hottest dancers. Give us a table up close to the stage."
  13. Q: Why didn't O.J's pick "Lawyer Ron" win the Kentucky Derby? A: He wasn't a White Bronco.
  14. I kinda thought that Flutie would go back to the CFL for a year or two as a starter again, now that he's cashed in on some serious NFL $$$.
  15. Not to mention convicted murderer (vehicular manslaughter) Reggie Rogers.
  16. Very, very punny!
  17. Mother - John Lennon Mother - Pink Floyd Mama'a Got a Squeeze Box - The Who Mama Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J California Dreaming - Mamas and the Papas
  18. Now that's funny! Lines like that, along with the silent thread for Coy Wire, is what makes this the funniest football site on the web. Thanks, for getting me off of the ledge after Rd. 1
  19. Sounds a lot like Chris Burkett who had some very good seasons for the Bills until Andre Reed showed up in town. If so, Nance sounds like a great FA pickup.
  20. Street and Smith's had him rated as only the 5th best Safety in the draft. It's a lousy pick through and through. A trade down with extra picks attached is the only way this pick would heve been palatable. An "F" is too generous of a grade right now - F minus.
  21. I would have posted this sooner, but the paramedics just pried my lips from around the tailpipe of my car. Are you kidding me, or what? My Street and Smith Draft Guide had this guy rated 5th overall - at the Safety position! The link at NFL.com grades him out at a 6.1 (6.0 being the lowest grade for a potential starter). Somewhere Erik Flowers is laughing
  22. Put yourself in Marv's shoes right now. If Leinert is there, what do you do? Talk about pressure. Of course, Ralph's no help - its Tuesday and he's in Brussels.
  23. The more I think about it, I think that I'd trade down in a heartbeat if the right deal was on the table. When you look at the percenatge of busts in the Top 10 picks it seems like a huge gamble $ wise when you have just as good of a shot of picking up a solid starter a few spots later. Not to mention that the Bills do have a lot of holes to fill. That said, can you imagine the carping here if Levy pulls the trigger on a deal like this? Oh man, we could have had (fill in the blank) Ngata, Huff, Bunkley, Justice... Marv must go!
  24. Meant to post this yesterday. Vic Carucci stated on the Channel 7 Sunday Night Sports Wrap show that the Bills were aggressively looking to trade down in Rd. 1 and pick up extra picks. If that's the case, how far back would you be comfortable with them moving and who would you take in the 14-20 range?
  25. I know what you mean, I love this guy's program on Showtime.
