RJ (not THAT RJ)

True... and it speaks to that larger commitment to his team that Harrison was on a SB winner... TO never was.

The Bills managing to trade Donte for a quality LT would have to qualify as an early Christmas for Bill in NYC! Here's hoping for it!

That would be a lesser-known Klingon proverb.

My friend, I am not the one who got up on his high horse about "kids reading this stuff." That was you. You attracted this attention to yourself, and now you don't like it. Too bad.

Indeed. Especially if they choose to be self-righteous asshats talking about how kids will be reading what we write. That is all the more reason to take our writing seriously.

You did when you dismissed a sensible correction in your rush to make your anti-vicodin point.

If kids are coming here, telling them that grammar does not matter is pretty pathetic as well.

A great LT, and his clutch of super bowl rings prove that only teams with HOF LTs win championships... Wait, what? Never mind.

I feel you, my brother. Maybe this is a good time to say I am sure the Bills will not win a championship this year....

See my edit.

I sure hope not. Clark always looked too erratic to me to make it in the NFL. I have reconciled myself to the idea that they will not draft a QB..... Edit: Which they did two seconds later. Which is why I am a historian and not a bookie.

Yes you will. You have already shown yourself to be That Guy.

I gotta say, that is what I like about you, ICE. Carry on!

ICE is incapable of posting his brilliance within some meager thread started by others... his genius always requires its own thread.

How so? Olsen retired in 1976, Dobler in 1983..... Or do you mean the other way around?

You fellas flunk sarcasm in school?

And you like to drink, watch football, and then run around like some superior person because you complain on a message board. Got it.

Check your Bill Parcells Law of Diminishing Returns scoresheet.... the Fins will not make the playoffs.

Mobile is one thing, a step here and there. None of those QBs is a college style scamperer like Wallace, which is why they are all so successful in the NFL.

I wondered about that too... Did all that fall under the control of the NFL network?

I noticed Simms the NFL company man immediately saying loudly, "Incomplete... incomplete" on the 2-point converstion, even as the replay showed otherwise, just because they probably were told not to question official decisions.

Now you sound like a liberal.

Joe, you know nothing of me, and your assumption that making an honest observation about american society makes one a "liberal" is an expression of the extreme poverty of your views.

QED

Because Buffalo is a small town, and an authentic underdog. Despite the cliches, the unhappy fact is that American society hates the poor, the weak, the underdog. It worships strength and success. The only time an underdog gets affection is when it wins, a paradox of the first order. That sportswriters and others try to deny this only makes it more nauseating. All the "lovable loser" franchises come from larger metro areas (Chicago, Boston, NY) which can already claim fans, money, and success. When a franchise in a smaller city loses (Kansas City in MLB, Green Bay during the 1970s and much of the 1980s, for example) the world simply ignores them, or sportswriters mock them.
