  1. Ditto - have been since the Russell era. (Never could stand Wilt, Lareem, Magic, Worthy, Jerry West, Rambis, etc.) Plenty of green jerseys in my house, Promo. Hats, too! Gotta disagree, my friend. You don't know Sox fans very well. They've been thru the same hell as Bills fans - no title from 1918 until 2004, and tantalzingly close so many times (I was a season ticket holder for the 1986 fisasco) - but they supported the team and ALWAYS drew their 2 million at Fenway, no matter what. They may rag on their team, just like we Bills fans do when we lose, but it's out of love and frustration. There're no shortage of Red Sox gear being worn in Boston. And just go ahead and try to buy a ticket at Fenway. JMO, of course. .
  2. You've all heard of former NFL QB Jack Thompson, A.K.A. "The Throwin' Samoan"... It looks like Manti Te'o has a new nickname of his own..."The Lyin' Hawaiian" !!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!! .
  3. Yeah - like, if he's such a devout Mormon, why did he end up at Notre Dame instead of BYU? And, even though he purportedly doesn't drink (and why should we believe anything he purports right now?) , can we at least assume - since he's an American Samoan - that he chews kava, and paan? That stuff makes you crazier than booze!!!!
  4. Unless he's not interested in women at all, and invents an imaginary 'beard' on a campus 2000 miles from South Bend who also happens to be dying of a terminal illness . That would certainly eliminate any question of why an All Amercian, stud Notre Dame linebacker, Heisman candidate, and future gazillionaire doesn't have a super-hot squeeze right there on campus. Sorry, but I can't think of any other reason to concoct and perpetuate such an elaborate ruse. (Not that there's anything WRONG with that!) Anyway, now the Bills can go ahead and draft Matt Barkley at #8, and probably still get Te'o in round two... GO BILLSSS!!!!!
  5. Not sayin' The Ralph doesn't need a face-lift...it does...but this looks a little like putting lipstick on a pig At least they chose Populous as the architectural design firm - maybe Populous will eventually give us a waterfront stadium like they buit in Dublin...
  6. Would LOVE to see the Cheatriettes* lose to the B'more in front of the fair-weather Foxboro crowd, plus 49ers v. Ravens would be great as it'd play up the Harbaugh v. Harbaugh angle Since EssEff is a former home of mine, I'd be torn, but would probably have to root for the Harbough brother that didn't thow a pich at Jimbo... Harbaugh Lands, but He's Out for the Count
  7. Oh sure...NOW everyone recognizes Welker's talent, but where were all the great talent evaluators when the only college coach with both the vision and the prescience to offer him a scholarship was... Mike Leach
  8. Ditto, rayray - I can DEFINITELY see the Bills taking Barkley at the #8 spot *and I expect, under Marrone/Hackett, he'll in in the NFL from day one (assuming the Bills' O-line stays intact) GO BILLSSS!!!!
  9. Well, there is that old saying, "They cloned Buffalo, and got Cleveland" For once, however, I can say I feel sorry for them. I actually like Browns fans, and it looks like their front office/GM/coaching sitch is just all kinds of effed up - even worse than OBD seemed just two weeks ago. In a week, they went from Chip Kelly to Rob Chudzinski??? That's like us 3 years ago, going from Shanahan to Gailey. What the hell is a Chudzinski, anyway??? GO BILLSSS!!!! .
  10. They say even the worst NFL team would romp over the best college unit, but for some time now I've had the sinking feeling that Saban's Crimson Tide would roll over any Chan Gailey-coached Bills team. (Largely because Gailey would mismanage the clock, overall offensive strategy, and play-calling, while 'bama's D would have a field day picking off Fitz all game long) 'Bama is simply awesome - I wish we could draft their entire D... GO BILLSSS!!!! .
  11. I remember crying during the season finale
  12. I was leaning more towards "Give My Regards to Davy"... GO BIG RED!!!!!
  13. Big Red QBs??? I believe Cornell is known as "Placekicker U"
  14. . ...or trading them to the Bills for 1st round draft picks!
  15. . I'm happy to submit my 2013 picks right now... Game 1 -- WIN Game 2 -- WIN Game 3 -- WIN Game 4 -- WIN Game 5 -- WIN Game 6 -- WIN Game 7 -- WIN Game 8 -- WIN Game 9 -- WIN Game 10 - WIN Game 11 - WIN Game 12 - WIN Game 13 - WIN Game 14 - WIN Game 15 - WIN Game 16 - WIN (AFC Divisional Playoff - WIN) (AFC Championship ---- WIN) (Superbowl XLVIII - February 2, 2014 - WIN) GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!
  16. . Are any Bills fans NOT excited that, before lunchtime on his 3rd day as Buffalo's new head coach, Doug Marrone has 1) Dismantled the defensive coaching staff of our division rivals in New Jersey; 2) Hired a defensive coordinator & d-backs coach intimately familiar with all 3 of our AFC East rivals???? And, in between his multitasks, also found time to reach out to the Bills faithful with this lovely letter... David, Today, I'm experiencing a dream come true. The opportunity to be a head coach in the NFL and to be part of an outstanding organization like the Buffalo Bills is certainly an honor. I'm looking forward to working with the people in this organization, but I am especially excited to work with the players. I was a player in the NFL and I was a coach in the League for seven years. I know the importance of building trust and my first order of business is to begin building that trust with this team. Obviously, there is a lot of work to be done. As I begin to assemble my coaching staff, I will be looking for hard-working, experienced coaches that are excited to be part of the Buffalo Bills tradition. As a coach, I certainly understand the importance of team, and for me that extends beyond the players, staff and coaches. When you have a fan base that is passionate about their team, they provide a unique energy that everyone can feel. Having had the opportunity to coach just down the Thruway at Syracuse, I know the support that exists for the Buffalo Bills. That passion is part of the reason I was so excited to take this opportunity. One of the things Russ Brandon and I discussed during my interview was the passion and loyalty of Bills season ticket holders. We want to make you proud to be a fan of the Buffalo Bills again and we will work tirelessly until that job is complete. This season, I look forward to experiencing the great atmosphere you provide at Ralph Wilson Stadium and I can't wait to celebrate a Championship together soon. Go Bills! Doug Marrone Head Coach Go Bills, indeed, coach... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!
  17. So there is a growing consensus on TSW that - should Geno Smith be on the board when the Bills select at #8 - we should NOT draft him??? Or is it just a small faction of delusional, wacked-out, nincompoops that feel this way??? GO BILLSSS!!!! .
  18. Attitude & enthusiasm play a big part - also, being surrounded by USC co-eds and top-notch SoCal plastic surgeons doesn't hurt
  19. And Peter Carrol is a year older than both of 'em!
  20. It was basically a "done deal" since early AM, but I believe Marrone hesitated when he got wind of this... More prep time delays Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Buffalo GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!
  21. I have only one word to say regarding today's announcement... OOPIE FREAKIN' DOOPIE!!!! I am thrilled beyond words that we landed Marrone. It shows some real chutzpah on Brandon's part - he had to know Marrone wasn't the consensus fan-favorite candidate, yet he eschewed the popular choices and went with whom he (and presumably Whaley) felt was the best candidate to lead the Bills back to respectability, success, and the Superbowl. Also couldn't be more pleased to see the continuation of the "youth-movement" at OBD - replacing the aging, southern, good ol' boy, front-office & sideline leadership with some solid Central NY (Brandon) & Western PA (Whaley) management, and a Bronx-native head coach with CNY (Syracuse alum/player/head coach) ties. This is all, IMHO, great news for the fans, the team, and the long-term future of this Buffalo NY franchise... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!
  22. If we haven't hired a head coach by next week, I'd say we're 1) waiting on a coordinator whose team is still in the playoffs (i.e., Greg Roman) 2) trying to convince Jon Gruden to leave ESPN and come back to the NFL 3) working on getting... Mike Leach .
