Offside Number 76

I don't know who you know, but the Cowboys are the Yankees of the NFL.

The Cowboys are the most popular team in the country and always will have a lot of primetime games. It's about as useful as complaining that the Yankees are on Fox too often. The fins, well, I can't explain that.

Maybe some are arguing that he wasn't developed properly or given the right opportunity (notice I didn't say AN opportunity) here. But I think the poster above who said that being cut might have lit a fire under Maybin's butt probably has it right. On the other hand, it's tough to find a lot of good to say about Edwards right now, and that includes Maybin.

I guess I've been wrong for saying that Okla. shouldn't have fallen from no. 1 while idle. This shakes things up quite a bit. Boise or OSU for no. 3? (And I see OU beating OSU later this year, which might be enough to FINALLY put Boise in a title game.

Yep. It's not like Bills tix are through-the-roof expensive.

Some LSU kids are banned for smoking synthetic marijuana, and now I've come to learn that a USC (SEC) basketball player died from it. More reason to just legalize the real thing...

Do we know if it's the one with Bruce running, or the circle emblem w/ Bruce's face in it?

Smith will not have a very big impact.

Right there with you.

I have the same problem with the article, and I like McShea. It isn't even funding football. It's funding a radio broadcast that proved too unpopular to stand on its own. If the Bills had committed some money to youth football programs and yanked it, I might have a problem with that. This was a commercial sponsorship that was producing no return.

We don't know that it's $10K, and it definitely is not a service for kids. It's not like the kids can't play the games anymore; they just won't be broadcast on radio--do the kids need their school to be on radio once every X years? After years of funding this, perhaps the Bills decided that the broadcasts haven't proven popular enough to stand on their own, so enough was enough. The Bills gave the program a chance, and the program didn't succeed. How many people here listened to the Intense Milks Game of the Week? I hadn't even heard of it until I read McShea's article.

Obviously a fellow St. Joe's grad.

Same here, and it disgusts me to say it, too. (But he's also a UB alum, so I've got at least some level of solidarity with him.)

Non-voting shares? No thanks, for me. That doesn't prevent what we all want to prevent. If you're only interested in the ROI, sure. But as numerous other people have mentioned (including you), the NFL no longer allows publicly-held corps to own teams. They're allowed to give franchises to whom they want; their rules.

You did?

That's insane.

Very nice. The ethnic last name bit was the funniest, for me.

Fast fact: If we had a thread about what radio jackasses picked for or against our Bills in every NFL market, in every week, that would be at least 31 threads (I'm combining the two NJ teams into one radio market). Who the F cares?

He's revealing his St. Joe's education, is all.

Your post is not politically incorrect and the campaign is out of control.

bump over the seventeen Maybin threads

I looked at the first four weeks and thought three weren't just winnable--but wins. (Of course, I got the last two wrong on the specifics.) At the beginning of the year, I thought the Bills could beat any of the four NFC East teams on the schedule--not that they would, but that they could; i.e., they are "winnable" games in my mind. Southern Maryland might be 3-1, but I'm not a believer. The Jets in Buffalo don't scare me as much as perhaps they should--they do have a very, very good defense. But I can also see Sanchez having a pick-fest out there. It's a winnable game, IMO, although maybe not as winnable as the three against the NFC East. I'm going to say 3-1 again. Possibly 2-2. No way worse than that.

Did you? When did you start thinking that? If it's at any point before approximately 4:30 last Sunday, I'm not believing you. Most people didn't even expect a 3-1 start (I know, because I did, and people were pretty critical of me).

Right on. Moreover, I don't think that the wildcat fools anyone (or "forces them to prepare") when the team runs out of it 95 percent of the time. I'd rather give the ball to Jackson against that mean Cincy front seven than screw around with Brad Smith.
