    Broncos' OT Clady may miss season

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    If that is how he blew it out, you are mean. I imagine the memory of pain just flashed through his mind. That is why I like you...

     

    :thumbsup:

    True fact. ICEman, my Bills Brother for as long as there's been a Stadium Wall, used to do the Highland Games thing -- and he was pretty damn good at it, too.

     

    And if it would make him feel any better, I'm currently rehabbing a sprained LCL...

    Ask Tim Graham: Part III

    Sorry I didn't get to answer this one before it was rendered moot. The thread disappeared during the draft. But based on everything I've heard, the Bills were not interested in Roethlisberger.

    Yeah...my apologies for that. I still saw the thread, so didn't realize that it had been set as invisible to most everyone else until the disappearance was pointed out to me earlier today. Although in retrospect, maybe I should've wondered a little earlier why nobody was posting in it... :P

     

    Hope you're well. Sorry the Sabres couldn't give you another game to cover tonight.

    One note re: Polian and high draft picks at OT: the Colts selected three-time Pro Bowl tackle Tarik Glenn with the No. 19 overall pick the year before Polian got there, negating the need to find a replacement until Glenn unexpectedly retired following the 2006 season. Polian ran the Bills' "war room" from 1986 (promoted to GM Dec. 1985) to 1992 (fired Jan. 1993), and during those seven years, Buffalo used the following picks on OL:

     

    1986-1-20 Will Wolford

    1986-3-77 Leonard Burton

    1987-11-285 Howard Ballard

    1988-7-177 Tim Borcky

    1988-12-309 John Driscoll

    1989-12-332 Derrell Marshall

    1990-3-69 Glenn Parker

    1990-7-166 Brent Griffith

    1991-10-277 Tony DeLorenzo

    1991-11-305 Dean Kirkland

    1992-1-27 John Fina

     

    NOTE: 1976 No. 2 pick Joe Devlin and 1980 No. 1 Jim Ritcher were already on the roster.

    Chris Brown - Bills "Reporter"

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Chris Brown of BB.com is now getting his news from espn rumor central. This is in regards to the bills being interested in Flozell Adams. This is pretty pathetic reporting, he seems to be getting worst with age. Does he have no connections with the front office or is he just being lazy? Lately I think the singer might have better info about the bills.

    Just to make sure I've got this straight, Brown isn't allowed to comment on what other outlets may be reporting? Kind of thought that was part of the reason for the blog, which is separate and distinct from the stories and videos he produces for bb.com and Bills Digest. I may have some issues with the overall idea of team-affiliated writers, but I see nothing wrong with this blog post.

     

    And Buddy isn't going to call you. Sorry.

    Demeterius Bell has ACL injury

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    Has it really been confirmed it was ACL? Haven't been able to find any confirmation. If so, shame on Nix for making an already risky proposition even moreso. I mean it's one thing to believe your guy can develop into an NFL caliber starter and give him his shot to prove it, but a whole other if that guy is in the middle of ACL rehab and with no viable backup plan on the roster.

    Yes, it has, per Allen Wilson: http://blogs.buffalonews.com/billboard/201...-at-tackle.html

    My Meaningless Opinion

    As always, RR, good to hear some unbiased analysis from someone who knows a little sumthin' about the game. I'm still not as sold on the current OT depth chart as they seem to be, but I agree with you about not reaching for the wrong answer out of desperation.

     

    Seeya at the opener, if not before.

    More good News about Big Ben...

    Last to come and first to leave? Not fraternizing with the team? I highly doubt that with Kelly. You do remember the parties he used to have after games at his place don't you?

    Correct. Yeah, the party-hearty stuff is definitely out there about Jim and the boys -- just mentioned to a friend this morning that it's a good thing we didn't have cellphone cameras and TMZ.com back when he held his football camps at Bona -- but a lot of those guys STILL hang out together. Hell, that's part of the reason Thurman and Patti moved back here, and I've heard a rumor that Kent Hull might do the same.

    What you want from Buffalo Bills coverage/talk

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    This is very true. Most people who opine on this board about sports talk want more Xs and Os. I am a huge talk radio listener, and nothing would bore me to death more.........And, somebody up above said they don't want opinions, they want facts........I couldn't disagree more. I want opinions. I could look up facts in two seconds. In fact, I love Ten Opinions in a Row on your old station.

     

    I really think the two best sports/general interest shows out there are Brad's and Tony Kornheiser's. Neither one bores you with player interviews. Even Schoop admitted last year - who wants to hear another Sabre get interviewed before a game.........They both talk mainly sports, but a lot of pop culture and top news stuff.

     

    I've heard you talk about being on the road as a musician and I would rather hear about that than how the Sabres penalty kill is doing in February.

    Player interviews, I think, depend on the player's on-air personality. If it's someone like Marty Biron or Ruben Brown, cool. OTOH, I'm guessing The Marshawn Lynch Show would be ... difficult.

     

    And we really need to get JW on there talking about music. :flirt:

    What you want from Buffalo Bills coverage/talk

    Give me reasoned, informative discussions, as I suspect you will, and I'll listen. Think the Sabres beat writers could be an untapped resource if any of them are interested in doing a regularly-scheduled segment. I'm not even a Sabres fan, but I miss listening to Jim Kelley on the old WNSA "Sharpshooters" segments. Sully has his opinion, which is fine, but the beat guys bring the knowledge.

     

    (Along the same lines, a shameless plug: give Chuck Pollock a call for Bills talk, and I'll guarantee you a listen.)

     

    Another point: given your other interests, go easy on the sports-only suggestion. WGR is (allegedly) a sports station. You don't have to be. I think Brad is enjoying his job more, now that he no longer has to limit himself mainly to sportstalk. (Of course, that doesn't mean that you can go away from it completely, because that's how most of your established audience knows you.)

     

    Think of it like making the jump from beat writer to columnist. Sure, you'll need to have and share your opinions on relevant local stories -- but after that, you pick what you get to cover. Cool, eh?

    What else is new?

    Anyone can be a sports writer. Have you ever seen these guys in person? I guarantee that 99% of these guys didn't even play a sport in high school. They no zero about a life based on physical and mental competition or even accountability for what they print.

    I have. Allen Wilson played football in college. Tim Graham was a WR in high school, but I believe he ran track instead at B-W. Oh, and BuffNews sportswriter Amy Moritz finished the Ironman 70.3 Texas on Sunday. (On the other hand, you'd be absolutely correct about me.)

     

    None of which has anything to do with the tone of Jerry Sullivan's columns.

    Bills roll out "Truth About Tebow"

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    Did ya even watch the draft.... Dan Williams went 26 to Cards, Dez went 24 to cowboys, Bulaga went 23 to Pack.

     

    It could have been Rolando McClain at 8, or Okung at 6, or Trent Williams at 4. I'm guessing Okung.

    Not sure who you're replying to, or how you think trading to climb back into the bottom of the round would net a top-10 player who was already long off the board.
