  1. Watching the coverage of Steinbrenner's legacy, it got me thinking about how the media will cover the passing of Ralph Wilson one day. I'm not trying to be morbid, I'm just curious as to how the media will portray Ralph. I think he'll be remembered as one of the founders of the AFL. Steinbrenner was a dictator that spent huge sums of money on free agents to make the Yankees the most competitive team every year. However, I get the sense that he was hard to work for. With Ralph, I think he'll be remembered as easy to work for and loyal to his former players, front office staff, etc... However, he doesn't spend like George did and I feel a lot of fans, local sports writers, etc. question his committment to winning. All that to say, how do you think Ralph will be remembered?

  3. I pray God takes away these clots from his body.

  6. Chan could get more out of Troy Smith than he could any of our current 4. Bring him in. What do we have to lose?

  8. I just called and tried to cancel my Sunday ticket renewal. When I kept telling the salesperson to cancel it, she kept going down and down. All that to say, I told her I wouldn't pay more than $200 for the Sunday ticket this season. After not budging, she gave it to me for $195. I kid you not! I should have said I wouldn't pay more than 150; however, I felt $195 wasn't a bad deal. Call them up and don't budge. They'll go down.
  9. As the season draws near, I'm feeling like we will do better than expected. I could see us being 8-8 - we have a brutal schedule though. At any rate, I'm getting more optimistic.
  10. I got my 21 McGahee jersey switched to say SPILLER the other day. I got it done it an away jersey. It looked good.
  11. I have met David Tyree and listened to him speak. He is a great man off the field. He does a lot for students in schools. That one catch has allowed him to motivate many students across our nation. He is a great role model and a disciple of Christ.
  12. Besides #21 being given to Spiller, anyone know what the numbers are of our new draft picks?
  13. http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/...in&hpt=Sbin Some jokes just write themselves.
  14. I am about to change the lettering on my Losman and McGahee jerseys to other names. That's why I need some famous names for 7 and 21.
  15. Who are some famous Bills that wore numbers 7 and 21? For 7, Flutie, Losman, and Gilbert came to mind. Any others??? For 21, McGahee came to mind. Any others???
  16. For those of you that have purchased replica jerseys, is there an effective way to remove the lettering from the back of a jersey? If it was authentic, it would be much easier to remove the lettering. Any of you done this with a replica jersey? I have a Willis McGahee 21 replica that I would like to change to SPILLER. Any thoughts?
  17. After reading Fitzpatrick's comments regarding TO, I'm still wondering why we didn't resign the guy. Granted, I wouldn't pay him anywhere near what we paid for him last year. However, he was the best receiver on our team last year. Right now, it looks like he'd be the best receiver on our team this year if we had kept him (sorry LEE). Oh well, he's not coming back; therefore, I'll drop it.

  19. I can hear it now: Get a locker ready for LOCKER
  20. There are more things wrong with our team than right. I hate to admit that, but's it's true. However, a few things right with this team are as follows: Chan Gailey, Fred Jackson, Moorman, the Byrd man, & Spiller. There are more good things I can think of, but those few names came to mind as people with upside in our organization.
  21. I read your entire post. I too am a diehard supporter of our Bills. My favorite line of yours was when you wrote: "I'm not going to call a pile of sh*t a pile of Gold !!!!!". Strong words, but very true.
  22. If Russ Brandon was still running the show at One Bills Drive, I feel we would have traded for Vick and resigned Terrell Owens. In the draft, I still feel we would have taken Spiller. What do you think would have happened?
  23. As much as I hate to admit it, I think the Bengals or Jets are going to Super Bowl 45 this February in Dallas as the representaive from the AFC. That being said, I don't think either team is building for the long haul. I think they're putting all their chips on the table for one big run this season. It begs the question, would you rather our Bills sign big name FA's, etc. for one run at the ring? Or would you rather them build for the long haul, with multiple attempts to get there? The Raiders made that one big run in 2002. They got to the Super Bowl and lost to the Bucs. If you remember, they had Bill Romanowski, Jerry Rice, etc... The Steelers, on the other hand, built their franchise for the long haul and have won a few times over the past few years. Again, which would you prefer as a fan? At any rate, I think it will be the Green Bay Packers vs. the Bengals or Jets in SB 45.

  25. I like the idea of getting Jeff Garcia, that was mentioned earlier in this thread.
