This side show is going to be entertaining to watch...

Okay fine...my full list Worst Draft pick ever? Maybin is a good choice, but I am going to go with JP Losman for the many years he set us back. Also under consideration: Erik Flowers. Most hyped/highest draft pick worst? Mike Williams Most hyped 4th round or higher marketing bust. Tank Carder Least hyped late round/UDFA surprise. Stevie Johnson Least hyped F/A surprise. Steve Christie Worst trade? Trading up for JP Losman The annual late round pick everyone loves, but does not make the team and is out of the league. Drew Haddad Worst line from a Bills head Coach "I’m going to go home, not talk to anybody, just shut it down. I’m going to be by myself, I’m not going to pet my dog and I’m going to get fired up...I’m going to be a pro, I’m going to be a man. ” - Doug Maroon.

For #3, I might go with Tank Carder.

Mike Hull.

I lost alot of interest once they went away from the Sat/Sun marathon draft days.

Except when you have a long TD near the end of the game, and run out of bounds at the 1 instead of running it in so that your extra point is "easier".

Marrone gets my vote. Guy had a chance to be successful here, but decided to walk away to be the Jags O-Line coach. Give me a break. Mularkey is on my list, as is Juron, but Marrone will always get my vote.

While I dont like to play a tough team week 1...week 1 is the week you can pick off a tough opponent who isnt quite ready for the season.

Barkley Bradford Sanchez Tebow ....are they trying to collect these types of guys? Gotta think only 2 of them make the final roster...mariotta or not.

This is awful.

Ugh. Okay. Probably time to move on. I just dont know why we cut Scott Chandler!

He is a good TE who came up big for us alot over the years. I am sure he will be great in New England (unfortunately). I'm penciling him in as a late-round fantasy draft pick...

Gotta be a good sign for us with Clay

No deal today? Pfff...same old bills...

Petty

Pretty funny. Compete with Hoyer & Manziel...or EJ Manual. I wonder if Hoyer becomes available. I'd take him.

Awesome!

I'd feel better with Matt Schaub, but there arent many options out there. We need a veteran presence...even if he is holding a clipboard.

Perfect fit. He has never been on a team win a winning record. Welcome home SJ!

I have a funny feeling this is the one... (no inside info!)

I highly doubt they will come out and say they did nothing wrong. They will likely say something to the effect of "we did a full investigation, and we cannot definitively determine whether the balls were altered" Its hard to prove a negative. Just like in court, not guilty does not equal innocent.

I am all for bending the rules, but not breaking them. If there was no pressure requirement on the balls..then good on the patriots for finding a way to get an advantage. But since there is...IF they did something in violation of those rules, then they need to be punished.

I saw it here... http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/175494-marrone-interviewing-in-denver/page-10 "Marrone and Bill O'Brien are best friends. They were Best men in each others wedding (or at least in one of their weddings...i cant remember). It's not surprising that O'Brien would find a spot for Marrone somewhere in the Texans organization. Truthfully its probably Marrones best chance at saving face here. Go hang with his bud for a few years (or at least one year) until people forget about this whole debacle. Maybe he can even be houstons offensive coordinator (they dont have one...O'Brien calls all the plays). Its too perfect of a fit for it to not happen."

There is no winning these arguments. But in the sake of getting facts right... 1) Joe Paterno and the PSU board were always at odds. If this were a "normal" coaching relationship, he would have been fired many times. They couldn't fire him because the alumni and lifeblood of the school would have gone crazy. Joe Paterno was an icon, but he didnt have much power over the board...in fact, the board resented him...ALOT. 2) Of all the shower abuse victims, only one had any outside witness. On that particular count, Sandusky was acquitted of "involuntary deviate sexual intercourse" 3) Joe Paterno DID report it to the athletic director (Curley), Vice President Schultz (who oversaw the campus police department), who in turn told spanier (who himself was a victim of child abuse) and countless others. What kind of a coverup plan involves telling everyone what is going on? 4) it bears repeating again...after 1993 Sandusky DID NOT work for Paterno, and I don't believe I have ever read an account of him and paterno being on speaking terms after that point. I truly and honestly believe that Mcquerey came to paterno with what he saw. paterno did know what to do, and punted it to his bosses to deal with. There was an internal investigation, and because of Jerry positive reputation, long history with childrens charities, a failed state ivestigation for a similar offense a few years prior, and the minimal evidence presented from mcqueary, PSU leadership decided to tell him not to use the campus facilities for his charitable efforts. I honestly believe they missed the smoking gun...all of them...including paterno.. But I refuse to buy the story that this was all to protect the football program, and making it all about the football program hides the fact that child abuse awareness is a significant issue in this country.
