"Michael, make sure you wipe the cocaine dust from your mustache before you get to the podium."

"Thurman, go find your helmet now. Otherwise you'll be the only guy in Canton without one."

And one other thing.....A lot of pressure on Peyton Manning. He'll take a beating today.

I think picking the Bears is easy money. They'll win the game with superior defense, a relentless running game, better return game, turnovers and a long ball or two to Bernard Berrian.

You might want to consider letting this thread die and coming back in a few days. Wait until it has disappeared from the first page. By then people will have forgotten it and you can save a little face.

What a great career he had. He made so many clutch plays. Whether it was a 2 yard run for a first down or some of of the big plays he made on that last drive in Super Bowl 25 and so many others in the playoffs, he was a guy to count on. Can't wait to see him inducted.

I second that. Watch them run and play defense.

Actually Ralph wants the team to move to his home town of Detroit where they have not had professional football for many years.

The power of hype.

Maybe he's on that Dan Marino diet.

Yeah, but who did we get for the 12th rounder?

Hope the old man is smart enough to keep his kid away from "The U" and their alumni after he graduates.

I think the Bills recognize that Samuel is the better CB and will let Nate go in order to sign Asante Samuel to a mega-deal!

Gotta wait to see how this all plays out with Nate.

I say it means that the talent at DT in 2004 was much better than in 2006.

I would only accuse you of having bad taste in music.

True, and if the Bills are to improve, maybe he must go. Certainly a classy guy, but somebody on the defense has to take the fall for the poor run defense and the middle linebacker is a big part of that.

Thanks for posting this. A good description of the defense. Based on what the writer says, sounds like all the personnel have to be top notch to play this scheme well. That goes for all the schemes I'm sure.

Wow, the team has some bargains on the roster. Gonna have to spend a few bucks over the next couple years to lock up guys like JP and others.

I'll take a winner any day, boring or not.

Ouch! Tough crowd.

Completely agree and I made wager with the Bears getting 7 points. Looks like easy money to me. Grossman has played fairly well in 2 playoff games and I think he'll do enough to help the Bears win Sunday.

Actually, I think they arrested the wrong people. If the 15 year old girl did this willingly, then she should be arrested. The boys are the victims.

Saying that black male athletes are generally faster runners than white male athletes is no less true than saying that men on average are taller than women. It's fact. It's not racist. No more so than saying most dry cleaners in the U.S. are owned and operated by Chinese Americans.

Before last year's draft and free agency, the Bills had at least 10 starting positions on the team that were question marks. To me it matters not how they fill those holes. It does matter that they get filled and as quickly as possible with players that can perform and will have some longevity with the team. It's tough to make a final judgment on any rookie. If Whitner turns out to be a quality starter, then he was a good pick. If Terrence Pennington also becomes a quality starter, he too is a good pick. Does their draft position really matter once they play a few years? All teams miss on some of their early round picks and all teams get some quality players in the lower rounds. If the Bills drafted another good player with the pick used for Whitner this past year, we might be sitting here talking about how they need a safety, and if they were to draft one, we would want him to be a good one.
