  1. b-large having more than two parties won't change much. look at Canada for example. conservative, liberal, green party and two Communist...

    I really don't know where to begin when someone suggests looking at Canada as an example of a dysfunctional society. Either you can spend your whole life studying examples or you can remember the old computer lingo garbage in garbage out.

  2. You could pick 3 plays from 3 games and the Patriots might even have 3 MORE SB titles

     

    1) Welker Drop

    2) Tyree Catch

    3) Can't remember but there was one play against the Colts in the AFC Championship that doomed them

     

    On the flip side, I am sure there are a few plays that went for them that gave them the titles they have now. Bottom line, I would not say spygate had much to do with some pretty crazy plays over the last few years.....

  3. Dear Buddy,

     

    I have been a fan and a season ticket holder since 1987. My passion for this team has never wavered. I became a Buffalo Bills fan after years of growing up as a Giant fan. In 1987, I moved to Buffalo and needed to root for a team I thought I could more identify with. At that time Ronnie Harmon had dropped the pass that would have changed the Buffalo Bills franchise around and in spite of that I saw great things happening for the Bills so I made the commitment emotionally and financially. I am saying this with all honesty. If you sign Vince Young I will take my business else were. That is a promise.

    If you can live through a Glove Wearing Mary from Los Gatos you can live through Vince Young.

  4. Interesting first weekend of NBA playoffs...feel bad for the Bulls. Rose out for the playoffs really makes it all that much more inevitable that the Heat are back in the finals...grrrr!

     

    My Celtics got beat by Atlanta..the team I least wanted them to play in the first round...not that they are a great team, but a good team, who just match up very well with Boston. Johnson seems to be one of those guys who can consistantly keep Paul Pierce in check...and please, Boston, how the hell can it be that Rajon Rondo is still the only guy on this roster who can get an offensive rebound? If Rondo is suspended for bumping the ref (he should be, and he will be, just not sure how long...it was a terrible call though!), the Celts likely fall 0-2, unless Avery Bradley has a monster game...he could, but it is not a given. And, likely, no Ray Allen again...we could be cooked...I thought we could win at least a series, maybe two...not feeling so confident now!

     

    The Lakers looked really good...Bynum is kind of immature, but really talented. The Lakers are fortunate that the trigger was never pulled on any of the zillion rumored trades surrounding Bynum over the last two years. If healthy, he might be the best true center in the NBA...that includes you Dwight Howard. I have a begruding respect for the Lakers, or maybe it is a love/hate thing for them, but they are built for playoff basketball...be curious to see what a new head coach can get out of these guys in the playoffs.

     

    Pissed that I gave up on the Clippers game before their 27 pt comeback against Memphis, last night..."Mad Men" was caling, on what looked like a lousy basketball game. I want to like the Clippers more than I do, but maybe this is the year that the Buffalo/Boston/San Diego/Los Angeles Braves/Clippers finally break through!

     

    Kind of flipped back and forth between NFL draft and the Knicks/Heat game on Saturday...I got a feeling the Knicks are going to get swept...but this is one of the rare times I am pulling for them!

     

    Biggest surprise of the weekend, for me, was Magic beating Indiana. I know, it is only one game, but maybe Stan Van isn't such a bad coach after all?

     

    I posted the results of this year's playoffs three and a half years ago. You know that.

  5.  

    ......5B. Tank Carder. This pick killed about 93 birds with one stone. Pick a cool nickname.....check. Pick someone that EVERYBODY on TBD had on their mock drafts after we famously whiffed on Casey Matthews in the 4th last year and couldn't swing the trade for the Bradham pick.........check. Pick someone seen as a fourth or fifth rounder primarily because he has a cool name and was on TV a lot even though he has no shot at the next level.......check. Pick somebody that will take the heat off the stars at autograph time for the first 9 days of training camp before we cut him give him a multi year contract extension......check. Make sure he is at a "position of need"......check. Make sure he has some cool eclectic hobby like jumping out of pools or being humongously fat like Jasper or standing still and jumping really high like Wendling but make it something totally new; wait he plays cello or whatever that thing is.....perfect get him........check. This may have been the single best public relations draft pick in the history of sports. If he had self promotional hair like Polomalu he would have been our pick in the 2nd over Glenn.

     

    I have just looked up Tank Carder on the internet and discovered he is white. I have edited my post above to reflect this new knowledge.

  6. No offense to anyone here but I am a bit worried that out front office people evidently read this board and actually do things based on what they see here. It seems cool at first blush, but when you think about it, it might not be the best idea. I know we can't afford to spend big $ on scouts like other teams but I really hope we are not all part of the scouting department.

     

    Below is my overall take on the draft:

     

    1. Gilmore - Buddy got the best guy available and at a position of need. A total home run and maybe one of only 3 or 4 picks he made on his own along with the paid staff.

     

    2. Glenn - Today's NFL does not really need as many or as skilled lineman as in year's past, there are many analogies I could provide to describe why but Glenn still makes sense here. Despite his size he is versatile and can move reasonably well. It also avoided having this web site explode if we picked up another DB which would have been a good football choice. The explosion was simmering but the time wasn't right because there was another pick to be had on Friday night......

     

    ......3. TJ Graham - Whereas the Glenn pick was influenced by TBD; I think the Graham pick was 100% driven by TBD. I love that Buddy Nix has a sense of humor. I really do. I got a huge kick out of this pick but to take a guy that nobody has ever heard of just so he can watch Bill in NYC write hundreds of posts using the words "smurf"; "Roscoe"; "Spiller" and the like I think was taking it too far for a 3rd round pick. Doing this with one of the 4ths would have sufficed although I have to admit the throw in of the meaningless 7th to move up two spots and set off a proverbial mushroom cloud over Manhattan was hilarious. Bravo Buddy. I especially liked Chan's presser using all sorts of Bill in NYC trigger words. Awesome. Does Tgreg write this stuff?

     

    4A. Nigel Bradham - I think the staff did this on their own and hope they got it right. He seems like a big dude and is not related to anyone that played in the NFL and does not have a cool nickname. No one on here had ever heard of him so I think along with Gilmore he was our best pick.

     

    4B. Ron Brooks - Another solid pick. He played behind both Claiborne and Mathieu so he had no real chance at being named Honey Badger for 2011-12 but still the DBs at LSU were deep and maybe he is a hidden gem at the most important position on the field in today's NFL. This pick reminds me a lot of Matt Cassel so even if he sucks like Cassel we might be able to hide him on the roster and trade him for a first like NE did.

     

    5A. Zebrie Sanders - At this point Buddy may have been surfing along on cable TV or maybe on the can reading the sports page so he just yelled out from the stall "pick whoever is on the top of Mel's best available list but make sure it is an OL". I hoped this wasn't influenced by the kid's neato first name until........

    6. Mark Asper. The pizza is here? FINALLY. Littman told me I can't tip the delivery kid so just let him make the next pick. Show him the alphabetical list and tell him to make it quick. We are on the clock. And Russ please get that Broccoli slice away from me; what are you a girl?

     

    7. John Potter. Crap. The delivery kid picked a lineman? We only have one pick left and we are going to have to do something really special to annoy Bill here. I called Minnie Minoso and he said no. Can anyone think of something?

  7. I read this great article from Leo Roth below where he stated that you really can't "grade" a draft until three years after the final pick has been made.

    http://rocnow.com/article/leo-roth/2012304280038

     

    He made me think....what grade would past years Bills drafts get? I am sticking to his suggestion and waiting until three years after the draft to grade. We'll start in 2005

     

    Year: 2005

    General Manager: Tom Donahoe

     

    5 156 Eric King Cornerback Wake Forest

     

     

     

     

    Year: 2007

    General Manager: Marv Levy

     

    1 12 Marshawn Lynch[4] Running Back California

    2 34 Paul Posluzny Linebacker Penn State

     

     

     

    Don't totally agree on 08-09 but close enough.

     

    On the others:

     

    2005 I agree but watch out criticizing Eric King on this site. There is a dude on here who won several Madden titles with King and he will verbally assault you.

     

    2006 You mock Whitner but last I checked he was an All Pro. FAIL.

     

    2007 You can't blame Lynch for his being from Oakland and not knowing about Drunk Canadian Broads wandering aimlessly around the streets of Buffalo. He is productive in Seattle and was productive for us on the field.

     

    Also 2007 Agree on Poz but he did have beautiful hair.

  8. I agree. I'm sick and tired of Nix always letting us down. Is it too much to ask for a GM who will follow through on everything he says? Especially with all of Bills nation under the constant threat of the team moving to L.A. at any minute, the last thing we need is some guy who is only 98.2% able to do his job. I'm writing a letter.

    Writing a letter is a decent idea but why not do a web show expose?

  9. That isn't covered even when he is. I mean that is what Nix said we were going to go after in the offseason right? Instead we draft a midget in the 3rd round with a 7th round grade. Didn't we have a guy like that in Parrish we let walk?

    I thought you were going to bit#$ and moan no matter what happened so as a group we are 1 for 2 with our predictions.

  10. A lot of us would have sprouted wood had the Bills been able to pull off that Casey Matthews trade.

     

    I still can't believe it didn't happen.

    Everyone on this board knew about Matthews in the 4th for two straight years and the Bills missed both times. Strike two. One more chance next year.

  11. Long, Levitre, and Wood?

     

    Sounds like a natural fit.

    I knew we should have kept Wang.

     

    Glenn's Wang was Long Wood after taking Levitre.

     

    or if you prefer:

     

    Wang grew a Pears and has Long Wood because of Levitre

  12. So he says. He wasn't going to admit he was from the Bengals organization, was he?

    I think you're right.

     

    If he has a caller ID and it traces back to the Bengals, are they obligated to pay him first round money due to a verbal contract being initiated?

  13. A couple things conspire against that unfortunate series of events.

     

     

    3.. If you need a firearms course, the last handgun you should buy is one without external safeties and/or decocker levers.

     

     

     

    This guy shot himself in the hand so it is unclear whether the gun had a decocker. How does it do that anyway? Are their heat seeking bullets?

  14. I'm a college football fan and it's not weird. You are sticking up for a guy who is a total POS and you've yet to make a relevant point other than being an alumni. You're logic is, he is a good player so who cares what he does. I know some other UF grads and they're not brilliant either. :lol:

    The pot culture defends all smokers to mask and further justify what can plainly be seen as a destructive habit.
