  1. Cribbs jumped to the USFL, because, like most every player on the Bills at that time, he was being underpaid.

     

    I'll just keep saying it: Cribbs jumped to the USFL because his agent was a silent partner in a USFL team.

     

    He did the same thing to Detroit, as he was also Billy Sims' agent.

     

    Jerry Argovitz went to jail due to this conflict of interest, among other crimes.

  2. About the only Buffalo thing I can't get or produce in Atlanta is Mighty Taco, or anything even remotely like it. I've been trying for 30 years to duplicate the recipe, and can't come close. What the hell is in those things?

     

    I happened to run into a beef & cheese burrito from Mighty where the ingredients in the beef hadn't been adequately mixed. I tasted cinnamon powder.

  3. Not everyone likes Duffs. Their wings tend to be relatively dry/crispy. If you like your wings like that, then you'll probably like Duffs. If you like your wings more saucy, you might not like Duffs.

     

    You can order your wings at Duff's any way you like them...more saucy, dry with sauce on the side, etc.

     

    My last two times at Anchor Bar, the wings were served about half cooked, still pink on the inside. I'll never eat there again, and to anyone considering going there, you have been warned!

  4. Jerry Jack and Mike Melody - where are they now?

     

    WNIA 1230AM, IIRC - "Be big, be a builder." Jerry and Mike were not specific people, just the handle of whoever was behind the mike on that shift. Bob Allen of WBUF/WZIR/WUWU fame(?) appeared as both in his long and storied career.

     

    AFAIK Shane tried to resurrect his career in the '80s and admitted in a Buffalo News (or maybe even Courier Express) article that he had been away for awhile on a "toot". Nothing much came from that though.

  5. I'll vote for:

     

    Captain Beyond (S/T) Former members of Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly lay down some heavy guitar rock back when all the best albums seemed like they only had 1 song per side... so perfect were the segues. They shuffled their lineup for their next two releases and neither were as good as their freshman effort.

  6. Well thankfully no one has questioned Trent's work ethic. Why it was just last off season that he took his own time and money between OTAs to visit Lee Evans for a few days and run plays together. You all remember right?

     

    Yeah. That was real productive.

  7. I certainly wouldn't be excited, more like interested in a train wreck sort of way. Seeing that Owens has a completely different skill set than the offense (if you can call it that) the Bills run, it would be like throwing sand into the gears of a well oiled (yet obsolete and inefficient) machine.

     

    I think it would hasten both Jaurons' and Edwards' departure from this team, which would enthuse me just about more than anything else.

     

    Edited to add: Actually, I don't want to see Trent leave. I just think we can do way better for a starting QB. He'd be fine in the #2 role.

  8. Come to think of it, maybe I am a victim of:

     

    MY OWN SELECTIVE AMNESIA/

     

    Was that Chadwick Pennington that faked Eddie (Eugene) Robinson out of his shoes on that TD scramble?

     

    Why did this team ever hire the Houston/Tennessee/Pittsburgh cast offs? Everyone here gripes about the last ten years, what does the above group tell you?

     

    Marv was a cast off, brought into a new management scheme. All the rest are recycled old ideas. Gilbride got lucky with the NYG. Lebeau knows how to tailor a defense with available personnel. Otherwise we follow trends, and don't set them since the K-Gun. Thats another good question - why didn't more NFL teams adopt the hurry up after seeing the Bills tear it up offensively for four years?

     

    People here lately (defensively speaking) are saying that 3/4 is the flavor of the week, so many teams are trying to adopt it; because it works. Where were all the teams that tried to go with the K-Gun? Not too many I think - that was a special group.

  9. Good point, TC. In hindsight, the Talley/Givens thing looks a bit shaky to me, like DT was losing coverage, and just "sort of" fell onto Givens' legs. Givens then ran upfield, away from Moon's pass. Beebe's foot was out of bounds, but was there replay then? Not unlike what the Pats* get today, but that was only ONE GAME AND NOT MULTIPLE SEASONS.

  10. And even that it was such a great game, it spelled doom for the Bills.

     

    Eugene Robinson.

    Jerry Gray.

    Kevin Gilbride.

     

    I feel sorry for Warren Moon, but this collection of losers became the Tennessee Titans, which then gifted us with Gregggggggggggggggg Williams, in addition to the above idiots. I knew it was wrong then, and we haven't yet recovered.

     

    Let's see what stupid position Greggo puts Jabari Greer into this season when NO plays the Bills. Don't forget, he was the DC last year in Jacksonville (for just 1 year) when Florence had his fall from grace.

     

    And oh yeah, how many times have the Bills beaten Greggo coached defenses since he left Buffalo? I'm thinking 2-0 (Redskins & Jags).
