Sounds like he has the same NFL source as SKOOBY does

How about this defensive end tandem http://fm1043thefan.com/dynamic/pageImages...dingleberry.jpg

What do people think of Larry English from Northern Illinois. I personally do not know anything about him, but I was reading in Bills Digest about him being a possible pick for the Bills at 11. No way can you draft him at 11, but he just might be there for us in the 2nd. Would you prefer English or Shaughnessy? I am thinking that Rey Mag (sp.) from USC in the first and either English or Shaughnessy in the second is the way to go. Address your center in free agency and I think we have a serviceable tight end in Fine.......tight end is the last priority on my wish list. We need to build a dominant defense first because that is how championships are won.......look at who is left in the playoffs.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is my number one choice

I think Garcia would be a great choice, but unfortunately I think his price will be way too high......I would rather spend the money addressing some of our other needs. I would like them to target Ryan Fitzpatrick........he certainly can move around and make plays with his feet.

The posts after the article are quite amusing.........very similiar to the sentiment on this board. They aren't going to renew tickets until Childress is fired. They have turned on Birk saying he is a slob whose best days are behind him. They even suggest that he purposely made the bad snap on the shotgun snap, because he was pissed about the lack of cntract extension.

Dick Jauron

Chris Kelsay was on the Thurman Thomas show on Saturday and the standard cookie cutter question was asked about even though the results were not what they expected the players showed alot of heart and played hard.........to which Kelsay attributed it starts with Dick Jauron who gets his players to play hard. I, for one, am getting sick and tired of these vague generic statements. Please define what playing hard means..........were they playing hard in the Miami and San Fran game? Don't the Detroit Lions play hard? Do the Bills play just as hard as the New England Patriots or does New England play just a little harder? The party line of playing hard is getting so old..........it is pretty sad when this is the only thing that Bills have to hang their hat on.

That Dick Jauron was one hell of safety

Favre is being exposed for exactly who he is.............a phony. He is not the nice down to earth southern boy who just plays football because he loves the game......the image that he has portrayed all these years. The fact of the matter is he is a downright selfish egomaniac who always needs to be the center of attention. I have to say this last year has been a disaster for him and his good ole boy image.

I know this seems to be a new policy within the past few years. The older and more senile he gets........it seems like he is suffering from a form of paranoia. It is as though he is trying to build an adversarial relationship with the fans in his older years. He is acting as if he has been wronged by the fans all these years and they don't deserve to know such details of HIS franchise........it is just none of their business. As far as retaining the coach that all the fans want fired, this is another way of telling the fans it is none of their business. It is strange how he is turning on the fans when all they do is sell out his stadium every weekend............he is biting the hand the feeds him as the old saying goes. I mean I don't need to know financial terms of a contract, but don't we deserve to know if our f'n coach has been signed to extension. Very bizarre behavior from One Bills Drive the last few years and it always wasn't like that as the Dean states.

Bend over and get ready for the same old Dick

I not familiar enough with the people on this board, but driving to the game on Sunday.......I was listening to Howard Simon and was talking about all the different Bills weather stories and he was interacting with a Lori in the background who relaying a story and kept referring to Lori. I told people in the car......I bet you that is Lori from Two Bills Drive...........was I correct?

What kind of car is it

His shoulder must have been bothering him on that particular play.........the Whitner apologists are don't have much of leg to stand on anymore.

Isn't Modrak already part of the "inner circle"............I would define making draft recommendations as part of the "inner circle". This is purely a PR move by Ralph to make it look like he is changing some things up.........but we all know they are staying the same.

Well, I can tell you for sure why there are so many Whitner apologists on this board and that is because Marv Levy drafted him at pick in which most considered to be a stretch. The Whitner apologists go to great lengths to defend Whitner as to not admit that Marv made a bad pick and perhaps reached. They will call you names that you obviously don't know football because he is doing all the things that he is asked to do very well, or that he is being put in position to fail by the scheme they run, or the reason he doesn't make plays is a lack of a pass rush.........I've heard all of the excuses. The truth of the matter is that he just doesn't make plays (I don't want to hear about the one play he has made all year yesterday) and is not even the best safety on the team. To me that is the definition of average to below average. Do we have bigger fish to fry........yes, but if we are calling a spade a spade............Whitner is average at best.

The sad part is that Ralph doesn't lose any sleep over it.........he could careless about the wins and could careless about the fans. He takes the approach that Buffalo is a loser city with not much going for it..... they should be thrilled to see any kind of NFL team, and if they don't like and will not show up.......we'll move it elsewhere. He knows he is in the power position and the older he is getting the more he has been rubbing it in our faces.

I think the more approriate question is does anybody still care if we get STOMPED this weekend?

Well, I guess it all depends on how one defines success. Logically, most people would define success of a sports franchise by wins and losses and championships. Ralph Wilson's measure of success is entirely different and is measured in dollars and cents. One could argue that he is one of the most successful owners of any sporting franchise history in being able to maintain such a financially healthy organization with a fanbase that sells out everygame in an economically depressed city that continually fields such a poor product. There are always two points of view to everything and as upsetting as it is to all of us fans, we are the suckers as Ralph is laughing his way to the bank.

Here is an Orakpo video http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/...videoId=3650227

I don't know why Sullivan gets such a bad rap.....he has brass balls and always asks the difficult question that the fans are dying to know. He also is very critical of players who he feels are not pulling their weight. While you often may not agree with him, do you not respect someone for going out on a limb and not giving you the company line.

Money really is the root of all evil...........I just don't understand how a man who is 90 years old and a billionaire can still be obessed with making and extra 3 or 4 million or even 10 million for that matter. At this stage of the game, I would be doing everything I could possibly do regardless of price to at least try going out a winner. I guess we can't make Ralph into someone he is not........he is a businessman above all else. Being a sportsman and a winner (in terms of sports) is not his number one priority........making the most amount of money he possibly can obviously is first on his list. Would he like to have a winning franchise or a superbowl ring.........of course, but that is not going to trump his number one priority. If he can get lucky and do it cheaply, then winning is an extra bonus, if not no big deal to him. I guess because he has a difference of opinion than you and I, doesn't necessarily make him a bad guy, even though it frustrates the living hell out of the fans. The Bills to him are a money making business first and foremost in his mind........he purchased the franchise as such.

As sad as this sounds..........I think he might be.
