  1. Realists around here are mostly pessimists or those who haven't a clue so they take the far easier road of negativity. A select few can express their their negative bias in an intelligent manner, but most grab the "easy" way out. A true Realist would leave room for a favorable surprise knowing that evaluating this team is not a science. Too many unknowns.
  2. I'd have to take exception to this statement. It's nothing but pure speculation. Further it shows both a lack of respect for Hansen as a player, and a lack of football acumen. Phil Hansen may not have been a superstar, but he was an excellent in the 3-4 and played equally well in 4-3 alignments when the Bills used them. If Carrington can even come close to Hansen, then he'll be a good addition, but the odds are against him. Not a knock on Carrington either, it's simply that many a DE entered the NFL, and many have left after not coming close to being the DE Hansen was.
  3. Modrak didn't invent the DB drafts for Buffalo, they've been doing it back to the days of JD Williams....
  4. That's' the same understanding I have of it as well. No story here, move along now...
  5. UK glamor girl, Lucy Pinder. Just saying.................
  6. Fina gave a strong effort, but he simply was never any better than average at best. I will say that before injuries slowed him down later in his career, we was reasonably adapt at pulling and leading the counter trey. I believe that Peters has far more athletic ability, but it appears he is more than just lacking upstairs. Shame too, because had Peters been given a 10th of his physical ability to his brain, he could be great.
  7. Losman could throw a very solid long ball...
  8. Great! Something positive.... His throwing motion does appear to be both more natural than Edwards' and seems to have a stronger arm, at least from the vids I've seen on him so far.
  9. While NKOTB analogy sucked, they and the NFL all all about entertainment. That is common ground. They both are businesses as well (money...). The Beatles, much more so over time by far, werea Big Business as well as entertainers.
  10. OK, now don't go back tracking down the road.... This actually made sense.
  11. The Bengals ???? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!! That's rich...
  12. You state "libs" as in meaning those (If I'm considered to be one, I accept willing) who find the Arizona law unconstitutional, fine. Yet I don't find immigration laws currently on the books being upheld or enforced so I don't have any problem with Arizona making an effort on their own. But please, this illegal immigration problem is not a "liberal" creation anymore than it's a neocon one. GOP likes the cheap labor (GWB, ...Hey, where's the workers?" Do you recall that beauty?) and the Democrats pursue their support. Both parties bear the blame on this one....
  13. Now that is a view from based upon logic and intelligence.
  14. The only thing that is pathetic is not to admit that we have a real health care problem, both in covering people (both with pre-existing conditions and those who simply cannot afford it), and the outrageous annual increases in cost. The plan we have now, a plan that has been reported on numerous times to be very similar to that of which both the Nixon and Regan administrations, simply may not accomplish cost reductions or containment desired. The "pathetic" fact is that our elected officials failed us. One party refused to take part, and the other basically tweaked previous administrations plans and passed it into law. I have been in the Import business for over 25 years and have extensive dealings with Canada and to a somewhat lesser degree, have had years of interactions with Great Britain, Germany, Japan, France, etc. Not once, in many discussions we've had at diners, lunches and personal moments, has a single one of my foreign colleagues or current/potential customers ever said they wished they had our system of health care. Not one single time. To them, health care reform for the USA is a no brainer and long overdue. Had health care form been successful back in 1939 (what I can find is the first serious attempt), we wouldn't be debating this today, nor would have uninsured or costs that are more than double that of our foreign neighbors. Yet then, as it still exists today, big business paid dearly to wreck anything that would infringe on it's unmitigated greed. Had long ago passed a real Heath Care plan, we could now be addressing the GOP penchant for accruing such massive year after year deficits that were put into play the past 30 years by the GOP's hero himself, the inventor of modern day deficit spending, Ronald Regan. We have dug such an abyss with the recession, poorly timed tax cuts by GWB that gave over 52% of it to the top 5% of income earners in this country, at a time we need more funds to pay for two wars begun under the GWB years. A country in which the top 1% in 1973 owned 8% of the USA to a now 23% today. Income shift? Socialism? Yes, but we gave it to the rich. Robin Hoods we aren't. And the illogical part of it all, millions of hard working folks, struggling wee to week have support all this, all while they were represented less and less by those they chose to elect. So get off your, "I take care of my own" pedestal. ....and if you think "business" holds all the answers, then you must have been sleeping while Enron raped, pillaged, and plundered your state before they imploded.
  15. Nothing like the "Boomer"..... GO BILLS
  16. She was a very attractive lady. Likely far better than most around here (including you) have probably had or will have. Classless a%^S%
  17. I guess that makes you a "Lucky Man"....but hey, let's not have any, "Fanfare for the Common Man"..... (oldies but classics)
  18. I definitely get it and the original song sucked, really big. It always amazed me the airplay that piece of garbage got.
  19. Gold Medal in the 1968 (surely OJ didn't run in the Olympics after he came to the Bill)s: USA won the 4 x 100 relay - Charles Green, Melvin Pender, Ronnie Ray Smith, Jim Hines (I don't see OJ there anywhere?)
  20. Relax there KC, no sense in dredging up old piss poor disco tunes.....
  21. Ditto, what's wrong with simply, "CJ Spiller, RB, Buffalo Bills"......jeez
  22. I also believe it's a bad idea, mainly because of the physical wear and tear on the players. Removing two pre-season games, of which the starters are likely not to have played more than two quarters combined, isn't a balanced trade off. There is no good reason to extend the season other than for the sake of the Jerry Jones type owners. The greed of the NFL, owners, players, etc., simply knows no boundaries.
  23. You forgot to mention "scatter shot arm".......great throw, bad throw, horrible throw, decent throw, bad throw, horrible throw, who the heck was he throwing to?....etc. etc. etc.
  24. May I add my thanks as well. Great site!!!
  25. I don't claim to have a clue who it might be, but I have to believe the Bills are still looking for another tackle, preferably one that can man the left side, even if only for a year or two. A trade or a camp/preseason cut is still out there.
