I'll be in Baltimore for the Bills game. Driving down from NYC either Sat or early Sun morn (not sure yet). I know you are from around down there. So there ya go!!

I'm a cane & ACC fan, what were they possibly thinking inviting Boston College to join over Louisville??? Louisville would have been awesome in the ACC.

I opposed the hiring of MM, but I like what I see so far. CD, you and I had some serious discussions that day, but so far I have to say you were right, he looks like the real deal.

I'd be satisfied with a return to those or the ones from the early 70s, those were great.

Jester - Nice Avatar!! I like the pic.

I wasn't involved in the Grove discussion yesterday. I just like him and figure he may be able to provide stability to a position were we haven't had any since Kent Hull. As far as the 4th (or 3rd), you have a point. But the more chances you take, the better one of them pans out.

Sorry, I disagree. I was never a Fina fan, I thought he was overrated and soft. But in that game he played with all heart against a superior opponent. Sure, he got beat for two sacks. But, all in all, heis performance was an inspiration to the line & the team. They knew how bad he was hurting and how he played on pure guts in that game. Major props given.

But would the Bills deal a proven 1200+ yard back for a rookie C??? Probably not, hence I figured a draft pick + Grove = TH. Now maybe a 4th would be more fair but I'd be hoping for a 3rd.

To Oakland for Grove and a #3??

To Oakland for Grove and a #3??

What about Henry to Oak for Grove and a #3??

How long does it feel since the Bills last mattered to anyone but us??? Thats how.

Thats where I got mine (the old original wore out). Mine has the HOF patch on it. Don't think you can still get it tho.

Or you could order the signed one... http://www.jimkelly.com/viewproduct.asp?it...temtype=Jerseys

I'm just too much of a traditionalist, gimme the old ones!!

This is the one she bought. You can look around the site as well for others. http://www.portablenebs.com/

My mother-in-law just purchased a pocket one, which apparently is new technology. That way you can carry it with you just in case. The only drawback is that since its new its pretty expensive (300-400 bucks). If you are interested, I'll ask her where she got it (I'm sure it was a website). My wife also has asthma and we purchased one a few years ago at a basic drugstore for about 85 bucks. Its the normal size unit, but you just can't carry it with you. If you are in Buffalo, there is a mediacl supply store on Hertel or Kenmore (can't remember which) in N. Buffalo thats pretty good and reasonably cheap.

Maybe we could use him on the field. OJ used to murder the defense, just murder em.

I read where Peter King was writing an article about the biggest impact injuries to teams. I think Milloy missing 4 games certainly qualifies.

Going on a date with a chick you never met before (ie set up). She sends you a picture, looks incredible in it and you think damn I'm getting a hot one tonite. Then you get to the bar/restaurant and she is not the chick in the picture and is not a hottie.

With Milloy in the lineup, we could have a winning record. Seriously. This D is vulnerable in the deep middle. Thats the soft spot. Milloy is indispensible in that area. Consider the following... 1- Think Milloy would have been providing Clements with over the top help vs. Jax on the play Jimmy Smith caught the ball. At least Smith would have had to worry about Milloy laying him out. Wire was nowhere to be seen. 2- Think Milloy would get beat by Ronald Curry in the back of the Raider end zone?? Or in the 4th quarter on the long pass that led to the FG??? 3- Where to begin vs. NE??? Brady took advantage of the deep middle all day, 1st and 35 and you get 44??? There were other examples. Not saying we win the game, but played better and give ourselves more of a shot. 4- No way the refs flag a vet like Milloy on a cheesy pass interference penalty in the Jet end zone in the 2nd quarter. No obvious push, just a hand on the back. No way. With Milloy, we're sitting at least at 2-2 and maybe 3-1. He is a huge part of the pass defense, which has been sorely lacking.

Lucky Charms!!

I couldn't agree more with this post. He came in and said he was going to return the franchise to glory, even though we had been to the playoffs in 10 of the last 13 years under John Butler and Bill Polian. We were not very far removed from the team that Polian predicted would represent the AFC in the Super Bowl in 99 if we beat Tennessee. It was entirely his way or the highway, and popular and productive players were cut (Big Ted) or let go on less than ideal terms (Steve Christie). All the while he was trying to change what the Bills were all about, making it his franchise and not simply continuing the successes built by others. Hence the hideous uniform change (which I still refuse to buy). Hence the loss of the season ticket boxes. I didn't hear that about the Shout song, but it wouldn't suprise me. Where did you hear that? Finally, when an experienced, proven Hall of Fame coach decided he'd like another shot at the Bills (Marv Levy), Ol Whitey said thats nice, now go play some golf. Not a real nice way to treat a man who has won more games for the Bills than Ol Whitey ever will. I'm suprised Ralph didn't step in there. As far as the business end of it, is it really that difficult to sell water in the desert??? Bills fans will pack the stadium regardless. Our passion for the team is unrivaled and the successes of the 1987-1999 era only fueled that passion more. Expanding the fan base regionally could be the only positive thing he's really done for the business of the Bills. In free agency Ol Whitey has been fine, with the exception of woefully neglecting the offensive line. The draft, well, thats a different matter. He has Gilbrided each second round pick since his first draft. I'm at the point where I hope he deals each and every second round pick the rest of his short, hopefully, career here in Buffalo. Finding gems in the later rounds, well, only Kevin Thomas and Terrence McGee have worked out well, since his first draft. Ol Whitey's draft record is pretty poor. Hence, it may be time for a wholesale change. I hope we could try and lure Ron Wolf out of retirement. I don't know. It may be time to start the search for a new GM, who will return the Bills to glory, and hopefully, restore some sembalance of tradition along the way.

All hell will truly break loose on this team.

I have actually been to the place in Park Slope. Its not a bad little place, with pretty good wings. It is on 5th Avenue and the guy hangs a Bills flag outside of the bar on Sundays so its easy to find. Its really not a big place (I think it could hold a maximum of about 30 people) and is more of a small diner that serves beer and Crown Royal than a true bar. I've only been there twice, but the owner is a nice guy and is from either Tonawanda or Kenmore, I can't remember.
