I'm waiting until I know who the players will be. If Buddy can sign some decent free agents, my outlook will be a lot different than starting the season with no RT, TE, backup QB and even Bell at LT.

Like many Americans, I have libertarian tendencies

Find me any other entry level job where they throw millions of dollars at new people just out of college other than professional sports. An NFL rookie is an entry level job. All other professions make you prove yourself before they give you CEO pay. -
Casey Anthony found not guilty of murder
Albany,n.y. replied to Beerball's topic in Off the Wall Archives
When I saw the news clip of her release, I thought this: What kind of miserable lives do these people have to go out at midnight, make up signs,& scream at someone who has just been released after 3 years in jail. Don't they have anything better to do? Do any of them go around to all the other places where people are released after being aquitted or released from jail after serving their sentence. Or... Do they just want to get on TV and do they really care about 1 little dead girl; and where are they for the rest of the abused and/or dead children? Are they Nancy Grace's version of dittoheads? I think they're all mentally ill. -

I have to disagree. Three years on the team, no matter how great the three years were, does not have the longevity to deserve a spot on the wall. His 3rd season was one of turmoil. Sure, they won the AFL Championship in his final year, but they also won it the next year without him. I could make a better case for Joe Cribbs, who also played 3 full seasons(minus a 1 game holdout) and parts of 2 others, including a strike shortened 1982, with the Bills and outrushed Cookie 4,445 yards to 3,065, caught 102 more passes and had 908 more receiving yards and scored 1 more TD than Cookie.

Casey Anthony found not guilty of murder
Albany,n.y. replied to Beerball's topic in Off the Wall Archives
How about hiring professionals as prosecutors? Competent prosecutors would have known better than to charge murder 1 with the possibility of the death penalty in a case where they had no clue how the child died. Who knows what happened? One thing is for sure, the prosecutors would have had a much better chance of convicting her of being negligent in the child's death if they didn't shoot for the moon & try to kill her because of media pressure. -

It's a good thing for her that she wasn't tried in Italy, where they convict American girls of murder for having sex. -
My two favorite knocks on players that combined humor with the statement that the guy was bad: In the NY Post NFL selections when Jim McMahon was finishing his career with San Diego: "Jim McMahon is so washed up, he never has to bathe again." From an NBA writer describing the play of the 76ers #1 pick, Dana Lewis in the 1970s: "The 76ers need a center in the worst way, and Dana Lewis is a center in the worst way."

Getting to the airport after the game
Albany,n.y. replied to bg17's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Does anyone know if one can go to the Buffalo airport before the game, check their bags & then come back after the game & just have to go through security? My nephew from California recommended I do this when I go for a visit right after a Bills game. I've never tried this at any airport but he said it's possible. It might be in California but what about Buffalo International? -
To those who call Ralph Wilson cheap...
Albany,n.y. replied to Buffalo_soul-dier's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Since the highest individual & corporate tax rates are under 40%, explain to me how giving to charity reduces ones cash outflow. No matter how much he gives, he isn't able to recoup over 60% of that. Now giving enough may bring his taxes down a little, but the money is still going out in a higher negative amount. A real cheapskate wouldn't give a dime to charity. -

How can Dallas expect to beat Miami with Jim Carrey as their head coach? http://www.google.com/search?q=rick+carlisle+jim+carrey&hl=en&rlz=1T4ADFA_enUS394US394&prmd=ivnso&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=M4PnTdThNKri0QH2qLnnCg&ved=0CCEQsAQ&biw=1375&bih=672 -
Extend Fitzpatrick & trade up for a QB??????? Flutie-Johnson all over again at best, Bledsoe-Losman at worst. You can extend Fitzpatrick & draft a project, or you can let Fitzpatrick go, go for the franchise QB and sign a veteran to be the backup/ half season starter, but you can't have 2 new contracts with 2 QBs being paid starting $, it doesn't work. It's too bad there was no QB worth it for the Bills to take this year, because the plan works with the veteran on his last contract year, not his 1st.

Add Ronald Reagan & Bill Clinton to the list of alleged rapists: http://www.slate.com/id/1000336/ In Kitty Kelley's 1991 book Nancy Reagan: The Unauthorized Biography, actress Selene Walters claims that Ronald Reagan forced her to have sex with him in the early '50s. According to the book, Reagan, then president of the Screen Actors Guild, met Walters in a Hollywood nightclub. He asked for her address, and she gave it to him. Later at 3 a.m., he arrived unexpectedly at Walters' door and forced himself on her, Kelley alleges. The press ridiculed this and other passages from Nancy Reagan : the night the Reagans smoked pot with Jack Benny and George Burns; Kelley's implication that Frank Sinatra boffed Nancy Reagan. But Kelley's sourcing of the alleged Reagan rape is not much worse than the sourcing of the alleged Clinton rape. What's more, People magazine got Walters to repeat the story almost verbatim. Walters denied one key element of Kelley's version to People--that Reagan forced his way into her apartment--but reaffirmed the rest. It sounds remarkably like Juanita Broaddrick's story: "I opened the door," Walters told the magazine. "Then it was the battle of the couch. I was fighting him. I didn't want him to make love to me. He's a very big man, and he just had his way. Date rape? No, God, no, that's [Kelley's] phrase. I didn't have a chance to have a date with him." Walters--like Broaddrick--did not file charges. And Kelley maintains that Walters shared contemporaneous accounts of the encounter with friends.

Tampa Bay Baseball fan kicked out of Tampa Stadium

Baseball has always been marketed as more family friendly than football. You can get away with a lot more at a football game than a baseball game. -

May be a good sign the lockout is near an end: June 16th limited to 6 tickets. June 18th (accounts with 2 or more seats) no limit on the # of tickets.

Tampa Bay Baseball fan kicked out of Tampa Stadium
Albany,n.y. replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
He had a choice. A smart fan would have just turned the shirt inside out. Any fan who goes into a stadium wearing something like that should realize there's a good possibility that at some point security will want him to remove it. If he really doesn't understand that the team is trying to create a family atmosphere & he's basically doing the same thing as a fan cursing out loud, then he's pretty stupid. Now if he was wearing a shirt saying "Mets suck" at Citifield, the team owner would have probably brought him into the owners box and congratulated him on his insight. -
Sour grapes-The Bills cut him as a rookie before camp even opened. So if he was cut before camp by a minor league team, what kind of player does that make Mr Elizabeth Filarski.

Only one month left before the world ends...
Albany,n.y. replied to Just Jack's topic in Off the Wall Archives
If there's a God then God please smote the clown who predicted the world would end at the exact time that he predicted the world would end. That will stop future clowns from predicting when the world will end. It's time that predicting the world will end has consequences for these morons. Or better yet-if this guy is a true believer, then he should put his money where his mouth is. He's rich-let him bet the world will really end. Put all his money in an account where people can bet against him. Say he has a million dollars there. I can buy a bet up to $1,000 that the world won't end. On Sunday $1,000 of his money is transferred to my account. All the winners bankrupt this nut. If the world ends then he doesn't need the money anyway. I guess his answer would be gambling is immoral -
If you believe this, an NFL player took out a $500K loan
Albany,n.y. replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A free agent who is expecting a big bonus & will pay it off when free agency goes into effect. So, say the strike ends in October. If the guy gets a $3 million bonus & ends up giving over $1 million in taxes to the government, the $40,000 in interest he's paying is chickenfeed to him. Meanwhile, he gets to keep up his million $ house & his lifestyle without interruption. The shorter the strike, the less interest he pays. Not as dumb as people think when you're talking about a guy who makes $3-5 million a year. Let's put it in perspective. Say the guy gets $3.5 million this year. He ends up paying $40,000 in interest for 5 months. Now say you know someone who makes $70,000 a year-not a bad salary. That's 2% of what the player is making. If he pays the same % of his base salary in interest on a loan as this player, he's paying $800 in interest over a 5 month period. Does paying $800 in interest for the next 5 months for someone with a $70,000 salary sound outrageous? If you take out a 5 year loan on a car for $20,000, 5 months into the loan you end up paying $400 in interest. Add a few credit cards into the mix & one can easily reach $800 in interest in 5 months on a $70,000 salary. That $500,000 loan might be a really smart move, especially if it prevents a foreclosure or a car repossession. -
did Jose Bautista discover fountain of youth?
Albany,n.y. replied to Pete's topic in Off the Wall Archives
The "light came on". He did what all the JP, Trent and other failed Bills pick lovers hoped would happen to their favorite bust. Who knows, maybe this is JP or Trent's year. We should sign them both-one might hit 54 home runs. Legal or illegal, the guy is doing something different than what he did his 1st 28 years.
