Wouldn't Beane be hiring a younger version of himself? Wow I think in my jest here I might have hit on something. From what I read Beane wasn't too far off from being that same way.

Brushchi did something that made us mad years back I am almost positive. But i can't remember what it was. Didn't he take a very dirty shot at someone?

Just a reminder, that describes most college kids. They teach them ideals and point at the world and highlight how we on the planet fall short of their teachings. And then they kids think they are just going to come right on out and fix everything. They are still good kids underneath, most of them. By the way what SJW stuff did Rosen say? All I saw some more or less true remarks about college sports. I didn't suppose anyone in NCAA administration would like what he said, but what I saw him say was at least a valid viewpoint if not the whole picture.

Mine is McCarron just because I liked his press conference a lot. A lot. And because he is a way better plan b qb than i had come to expect that we would get

Wow thanks for telling me that Thurman. That was interesting.

Your lips to McBean's ear!

His circumstances remind me a little of Jason Peters. He came to the Bills as an undrafted tight end. I would like to play him as safety some next time we play Gronkowski. I would tell everybody he is Tre White's big brother. Anyway I am such and amateur but geeze I would get him. I think he has the look that some really few good players that I saw in person have had. He is normally proportioned, but big. Usually big guys are built a bit different but he is shaped like a regular guy, just half again as big. And he moves like a smaller man. That combo is a really good one. He would be on the practice squad for at least a year. Anyway he might have flaws that would show up in a up close look. But gee isn't it worth a spot on the practice squad to take a chance on a guy like him?

Good post, but you forgot to mention that Bruschi is an idiot.

No he doesn't.

The Buffalo News is over. Good job Tim Graham and and Josh Barnett. You finished it off. Its very sad. There is being a journalist, and then there is being empty inside. Wow. Im stunned that TBN would sink so low. I should have known with your Sully and your Bucky and your lazy , lazy reporting. Oh well stupid me.

That was fun to watch thanks! Would they have to draft him? Wouldn't he be undrafted? Or why wouldn't a college grab him? I am seeing in my head, a movie. A small school, downtrodden, ignored, their football team about to lose funding. And then they get Goliath there on a scholarship and contend for the national championship! Its the feel good move of the year I tell ya. But seriously if I was GM that man would be on a plane.

Then maybe shaddap?

Donald Jones was pointing out the other day that McBeane have spent their bigger money on guys that they knew, or that they know someone who knows them. He said if they are going to invest a lot into a guy they want accurate information about who it is they will be getting. So they either know the major free agents they have brought in, or they have people they trust that know them. I think this will apply to the draft too. at least to some extent. So does anybody know of any connections that McBean have to coaches at school of teh top 5 or 6 guys? It might help us predict who they might be leaning towards.

Wow I would love to do that! Congratulations!! Will we get some posts from you there? Don't be greedy. I think if 12 was enough for Jesus' team, then 12 should be enough for you!

My apologies to Walter Payton looking down from up there, and to his family! And yes it was really random indeed. But back when that was happening I was thinking I would want the guy who broke the nose of the man who asked him that question. And it made me sad that no one did because I really, really, highly intensely dislike that they do that to these guys. They can call it what they will but I see it as them making guys grovel trying to get drafted. And I was thinking back to the good old days and to some of the guys we had and one of them I saw as least likely to be a-groveling was Talley because he was fair and not dirty but he had a line that if a man crossed it you would know about it. And it made me happier. The gay question is different because that isn't an insult even though I am sure they mean it to be a snide remark. But your mom? A Hooker? Over the line the player should get that straightened out right away how far is too far as I see it.

Oops I meant kick.

More random babble. Darryl Talley has always been a favorite of mine because of how he played the game, how he protected Jim Kelly (by Re-Talley-ating) when teams would cross the line with Jimbo by slamming him down instead of a regular sack, and that he always wore that Spiderman stuff. With revelations of one certain aspect of recent events at the combine making me angry, I played out a little picture in my mind that made me happier. I pictured someone interviewing a team official of the past about what they learned about Darryl Talley, when they asked him if his mother was a prostitute during the interview process. To which he replies, "We learned that whatever you do, never, ever, ask Darryl Talley if his mother is a prostitute"

Wow you understand this well! Thank you. I wonder do you know if Woods could refuse to retire? (Like he kind of did) And then make them lick him off the team, so he gets his bonus?

Ok. But I bet you will see the notice that you got quoted and read this. And this.

How can they be surprised or mixed up about terms of a contract when the guys gets injured? They have been doing this a while now I don't see how there could be anything about this that isn't just spelled out in the contract. It isn't like he was abducted by space aliens. That would be a justifiable surprise. If it is a legal dispute somebody should be in trouble. My bet is it is an accounting trick that they need to delay on it for some reason.

You make some good points. You are on a roll! Have you switched over to a new breakfast cereal? It seems to be working. What gets to me Shaw is the number of professional outlets who think they will take Barkley at #1. I can't see any way that doing that would be the best thing to do. Even if he turned out to be Walter Peyton, I don't think Walyter Peyton would be Walter Peyton nowadays because they have slanted the rules so far in favor of the passing game. How can Barkley overcome the rules? I see it like this in a way. Say I win a prize of a free vehicle at a big dealership. I can have any one I want. So I go and get a full size pickup truck with a crew cab and bed cover and 4 wheel drive because of how versatile that is for all my needs. Or I get me a Prius because they are very good cars and good for the planet. But I pass on the Ferrari because it has two seats and is hard to get in and out of and it stinks in the snow and costs a fortune to maintain and I am sure I will soon lose my licence from speeding tickets. Instead of taking the Ferrari and selling it and buying the truck and the Prius and a boat and taking a cruise and remodeling my kitchen.

The only way Beane would know for sure what he will do is if he had the #1 pick. Other than that it depends on how the draft falls and who will deal what. Beane wasn't here yet last year, but I think the Bills showed last year, that they will pass on a QB if he isn't the one that they want. So they might narrow it down to two that they are willing to trade up for, and if they can't get one of those two, they won't trade up. I think he is honest that they don't know what they will do.

I see what you mean but take a look at it my way. I am not talking about what the 2 rookie contracts will cost. Those will be close to the same like you say. I am talking about down the road a little from that. If you don't draft a good QB you will have to pay for one. For a good one it will cost 30 million a year in round numbers. So generally speaking, picking #1 overall you can use the pick on a running back and then pay 30 million for your QB. Or You can pick a QB and then use the 30 million on a 8 million dollar running back, an 8 million dollar lineman, and a 14 million dollar wide receiver. So one way you get a QB and a running back. The other way you get a QB, a pro bowl level running back, a pro bowl level wide receiver, and a pro bowl level lineman if he is a guard. Oh for Pete's sake. For you or for me? The rookie wage scale has NOTHING to do with what i am taking about!! I don't know how to explain what I mean any clearer or if I do, I am not willing to at this point. But maybe don't go around throwing snark about not understanding things if there is chance that you are the one who doesn't understand. Like now. Show me the guy on a rookie contract who makes 30 million dollars a season. Show me that guy. Then you can run your mouth about me not understanding what is being said here and what the rookie wage scale is.

Yep I am and thank you. Thank you for the laugh

That would be some pretty careful intel indeed! Putin level intel. Hmm. lol good one Thank you sir . Hey cool thanks Thurman. It feels good to belong!
