Bills Acquire LB Lerentee McCray from Green Bay
justnzane replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
To be fair, most teams 7th rounders look similar and for the most part worse. Getting solid NFLers in Haggan, Bell, Stevie, Bell, and Polk is pretty damn good over the years, and even Pennington, Pucillo, Haddad and Lankster made a few rosters. I believe in general our scouts/GM's have done a decent job in finding the diamonds in the rough, but have failed to draft well in round 1, which is part of why we are still looking for the next 12, 34, 78, and 83, -
Aaron Williams - possible concussion
justnzane replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For those blaming Rex for this, it was a freak accident. Williams was reading the pass as Lewis was making a cut into the same spot. Think of it like two outfielders colliding into each other going for a ball. It happened to be helmet to helmet. -
Do We Have Any Bernie Sanders Supporters Among Us?

Well, I have stories from when I taught in Atlanta, but I wouldn't suggest killing just all blacks and Latinos. Instead: -
Do We Have Any Bernie Sanders Supporters Among Us?
justnzane replied to Rob's House's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
This is my field, and part of my masters' thesis. While bluntly put by Ozy, in a slightly unsavory way, black and Latino students tend to perform at a lower level than the white and Asian students due to two factors: higher poverty level compared to whites, and less parental emphasis on academic success compared to the Asians. Our teachers are asked to do more in many cases than a lot of foreign teachers in part due to high childhood poverty, and a school lunch program that lacks compared to other countries. This leads to hungry kids who have trouble focusing, which leads to more ADD diagnoses. In some countries, there are 2 teachers sharing a class and team teaching with alternating parts of a lesson. This shared burden stresses the teachers out less, than solo in large part due to having a second set of eyes supervising the classroom. Comparatively speaking, our students score about the average in Science and Reading compared to the rest of the world, and slightly below average in math according to the most recent PISA results. -

NFL Commish vs. HBO's "Ballers"
justnzane replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
South Park has used the Broncos, Chiefs, Dolphins, Patriots, and Redskins likenesses in their run of show. In fact, Cartman's mom has slept with the entire 1989 Broncos team. -
Pick your QB for the next 10 years
justnzane replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have to agree that A.A Ron Rodgers has to be the guy. I know he may not make it the full 10 but I think he will last 6-7 more years of quality. -
A Look Back at the Stevie Johnson Trade
justnzane replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The trade was a wash effectively as it was SJ for Seantrel and Brown. Since that point Stevie has been putting up #3 receiver numbers, while we got some service out of Seantrel. The Bills could have used Stevie as a #2, but in the end I think he was done when Fitzy got pushed out of Buffalo by Buddy Nix -
NFL future power rankings: projecting the next 3 seasons

Am I missing some sarcasm here? or do you think the Canadian field is smaller? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_football#The_field -
I tweeted the author, pointing out that our pro sports culture is better than Atlanta, and that with Jack and Terry this town has a lot to be excited for

This is all stemming from Goodell fresh off his death scare talking about us needing a new stadium. Would he have the balls to do this in Green Bay where there is no corporate base either? The Europeans have it right where the gov't does not pay for professional clubs soccer stadia, instead the club pays for it, themselves through ticket revenue. My favorite English team, Tottenham is renting Wembley for the next 2 years while building a new stadium at the current grounds. They will use the new 60,000 seat arena for the NFL London series. There won't be extravagant luxury boxes, hell even the owner sits in the club personnel area of the crowd. could you imagine Jerry Jones sitting two rows in front of his inbred fans?

Marquise Goodwin Listed on SI's 50 Fittest List
justnzane replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A pulled hammy is definitely preventable. This comes down to flexibility, hydration, oxygen levels, muscle condition, proper diet, proper stretching, etc.... Your more fit people will avoid most major muscle pulls. -
Marquise Goodwin Listed on SI's 50 Fittest List
justnzane replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As a track guy, I take objection to this. Glash is a perpetually injured athlete which is the antithesis of fitness, even then the most fit people in the world tend to dominate their fields, which you can't say he has done either in the long jump, and especially in the NFL. -
C.J. Spiller healthy now after 36 carry, 2 TD season
justnzane replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You are throwing Jones in the same breath as our 1st round reaches and busts? That is some very weak tea to compare a 4th round project to the rest. -
SI.com proposal for a 22-week NFL season
justnzane replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There would be no weeks where everyone would be on bye (except x-mas time). So the networks would should 22 primetime games, and 44 daytime (effectively) games. I would think that 19 weeks (aka 3 byes) would be more reasonable for the near term. The reality is that the season is grinding where less frequent games would be better for the players, and they should increase gameday roster size (special teams players + more backups= less wear and tear and more rotation). -
The Bengals Have Signed UB's Joe Licata
justnzane replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As a former HS coach of Kling (in a non-football sport), I am happy for the kid. He was a great athlete for us, and a great person. I also hoped that he would have signed here, but the Bears have a clearer path to a roster spot than the Bills did. -
You are correct regarding Ace Ventura. He is a Bills fan.

Dri Archer claimed off waivers
justnzane replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
wow, who pissed in your corn flakes? The guy put some solid fact based opinion out there, and you put out a douchey retort back. Spiller was a decent #2 back (better in chan's scheme) that was overdrafted by no fault of his own. I think we all agree that the pick could have been better used elsewhere as the Bills have a maddening habit of overdrafting RB's and undervaluing the idea of developing QB's. That said, Archer is a Spiller-esque type player for the league minimum. That is a good risk to take from Doug, Rex, Russ, and whoever else. -
I know John and his family very well,. 6-7 320, just monstrous in size. Coach Quinn did a good job helping him along as did lining up every day against Khalil Mack. He does have a good head on his shoulders and decent footwork (former section champ discus thrower and i believe section runner up at 275 wt class in wrestling). As for ST's, most of your OL's at this level are used in FG protection and that is about it.

By the way, UB's OT John Kling (from Depew) was signed by the Bears

Should Bills look at Dak Prescott as QB pick?
justnzane replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As much as I feel that Tebow would have been better served in a different position (TE), I agree with John that we'll never know as his growth was stunted by being thrown into the fire and by being drafted in the 1st. If you reach for a guy in the 1st and he is not ready, then throw him into fire, you screw him permanently (just look at EJ) -
