  1. Agreed. His show last night was what being a fan was all about.
  2. Lori, what say you on this Cowher thing? Sal said less than 50/50 he comes here... my highly scientific poll here on the wall is running about 60/40 he does not come here. I know you wanted Gruden and all, but you think we got a shot at pulling this off with Cowher?
  3. First of all, Sal is good people! Second of all, he does not broadcast from his mom's basement. Third, read his bio. he's quite accomplished. The first time I listened to his show was last night, thanks to the heads up from Promo the Robot of Rocketship 7, and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great show.
  4. Rocketship 7 in da house boyeeee!
  5. Why wouldn't he refer to himself as ICE?
  6. It's true... YE OLE has been around these parts since Flutie/Johnson was the order of the day.
  7. Google "Bill Cowher Buffalo Bills" right now... stories are EVERYWHERE. This is goin down baby, this is goin down! Ye Ole is committed to this thing right here! Lets just start calling him Buffalo Bill Cowher right now! Whooo-AHHHH
  8. Uh oh! Someone's got the red ass!
  9. Coach Sal seemed to have sources that tell him it's a possibility, but he also said he'd say it's less than a 50/50 shot at this point. What say you? Will Bill Cowher be the next coach of the Buffalo Bills?
  10. AWWWW YEEEEAHHHH!!! The SUPER BILLS are back boyeeeee! And they're gonna make Brady and Belichik pay BIG TIME!
  11. Que John Facenda: "Talkin' Proud: The Story of the 2009 Buffalo Bills"
  12. Agreed. If Brohm does not play, I don't think I will be UP for this game, yo!
  13. Straight up... I'd be geeked if Wade came back here as DC.
  14. Just posting a blurb I found from Sando. Wasn't trying to be a "cut up," Tombo. And frankly, the information you posted from the Insider article appears equally as vague. The Seahawks might get Cowher because they signed Holmgren a decade ago when nobody thought they could? As previously stated... it would seem that this Sando guy is merely making baseless conjecture.
  15. It sounds like this Sando jabroni is merely making conjecture all o'er the NFC West.
  16. The second Brohm sails an 80 yard bomb into the swirling Lake Erie windage and hits Evans for a TD, all heeeezy is gonna break loose on TSW.
  17. Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch had plenty of ground to cover in his Rams chat today. Scott Linehan's job security wasn't the only issue after the team benched Marc Bulger. Asked about potential coaching candidates Dick Vermeil, Marty Schottenheimer and Bill Cowher, Thomas said he thought only Schottenheimer would take it, if offered.
  18. Ye Ole' was having himself a nap earlier and a prophetic vision struck! Suddenly I was in the midst of a 1 PM "presser" at OBD... I even had credentials! Next thing I know Ralph steps to the podium and in a somewhat incoherent fashion makes a few a jokes that garnered a courtesy laugh from those of us in the media, after which he had Russ Brandon step to the podium. Russ makes about 10 minutes of small talk outlining the search/interview process for a new coach and then gives the old "without further adieu, it is my great pleasure to introduce the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills, Bill Cowher!" Cowher stepped to the podium and discussed his philosophies on both sides of the ball. Said that he'd be implementing a base 3-4 scheme that would have a lot of zone blitz looks. On offense he said he believed strongly in building a big, physical, supremely talented o-line and really liked what he had seen of Freddie from afar. Also mentioned Marshawn as a tough, physical runner. After roughly 15 minutes he said he had to get to work, and promised to restore the winning tradition to this great franchise. Afterwards there were fabulous refreshments for the media that included deli sandwiches and a delectable fruit chutney! Then, I was over by the deli tray, when Mike Robitaille got down on all fours behind Mike Schopp and gave YE OLE' the thumbs up to signal that the school boy trip was all set up. Just then I gave Schopp a shove and chirped "SURE!" ... sure enough Robi caught him at the knees and Schopp was goin down fast! ... then Ye woke up. I really wanted to see how that turned out too.
  19. Bills Cowher just may end up in Buffalo.
  20. Everyone thinks like you do, SunTanBillsFan! All we are saying... is give Brohm a chance.
  21. This needs to be stated... I certainly am not proclaiming Brohm as a lock. I'm just saying he has more ability to be a top tier QB than anyone else on the current roster. I could see that in one game, simply from the manner in which he threw the ball. You can tell he has a superior arm, and was thought to have elite ability coming out of college. While he's not a lock, neither is any other QB coming out this year. However, I do know that if we don't shore up this O-line, it will be hard to develop any QB. If there's another veteran on the FA market who can come in and compete I'm all for it.
  22. Without further adieu... here is your anecdotal information: When young F. W. Woolworth was a store clerk, he tried to convince his boss to have a ten-cent sale to reduce inventory. The boss agreed, and the idea was a resounding success. This inspired Woolworth to open his own store and price items at a nickel and a dime. He needed capital for such a venture, so he asked his boss to supply the capital for part interest in the store. His boss turned him down flat. "The idea is too risky," he told Woolworth. "There are not enough items to sell for five and ten cents." Woolworth went ahead without his boss's backing, and he not only was successful in his first store, but eventually he owned a chain of F. W. Woolworth stores across the nation. Later, his former boss was heard to remark, "As far as I can figure out, every word I used to turn Woolworth down cost me about a million dollars.
  23. I really like what I saw from Brohm. Looking at what we have right now, between Fitz, Edwards, and Hamdan, Brohm is the only guy on the roster that can legitimately "make all the throws." He definitely threw with great velocity and had no problem throwing out routes. I'd give him an 8 all things considered. I think he shows some promise to become the top 5 caliber pick that he would've been had he come out after his Jr. year at Louisville. He's going to need time to learn a new offense next season and hopefully get some better blocking up front. That being said, I think Brohm showed the potential to be a very good QB, and that in itself is a win for us given the fact that we picked him up for nothing. I, personally, would prefer to build the O-line with our first/2nd picks in the draft vs. going QB and trying to develop Brohm. Drafting a first rd. QB, once again means no immediate impact and rebuilding mode for another 2-3 years. Brohm going into his 3rd NFL season and a full offseason to prepare may be ready to roll next year.
