Arena League Players Don't Get Drug Tested?
Albany,n.y. replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've always maintained that the only reason sports leagues want to rid themselves of drugs is because they are illegal and the leagues fear that users are more likely to get involved with shady characters and fix games. When you have a league that doesn't command much betting action, such as the Arena Football League, there's little fear of fixing the games for big bettors, therefore less drug enforcement. -
Hillary pinning hopes on assassination!
Albany,n.y. replied to KD in CA's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I'll give her a pass on this one because she said something similar before & it wasn't taken in the same context because she phrased it much better: She has said much the same thing before. In a March interview with Time magazine, she said: "Primary contests used to last a lot longer. We all remember the great tragedy of Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in June in L.A. My husband didn't wrap up the nomination in 1992 until June, also in California. Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual." Clinton said something similar the day after the Indiana and North Carolina primaries. "Sometimes you gotta calm people down a little bit. But if you look at successful presidential campaigns, my husband did not get the nomination until June of 1992," she said. "I remember tragically when Senator Kennedy won California near the end of that process." -
Keep the Bills in Buffalo
Albany,n.y. replied to ChevyVanMiller's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He wants his daughters to get the money, not his current wife. -
Add to this the fact that 3 of the 8 games are worthless exhibition games & the deal is a total ripoff.

You do realize that the opening day roster will be 53 and a lot of those 85 players, including the two guys who started the thing will be long gone. Fights happen all the time in pre season practices. I once saw a good one at Giants camp & I've only gone there twice in all the years they've been in Albany. On the other hand, I'd like nothing better than Baltimore always having a worse record than the Bills & never making the playoffs as long as that loser McGahee is there.

The people I work with-I've driven them crazy talking about the Bills. During the Super Bowl years, the 1st 2 years when I'd get back from the game they would leave things at my desk. XXV they put all these newspaper clippings all over my desk. XXVI, they had crime scene tape & an outline of a body with #12 in the middle. By XXVII they gave up, but Petrino went with me and the people on his floor took over-they made up a coffin and scanned his ID photo and put the face on it, they also put a ton of the forms EA5217 all over the place to represent the score. Nobody did anything when we got back from XXVIII. However I once had a co-worker say to me "I never realized how long the football season was until I worked next to you."

10 Worst Franchises in Pro Sports
Albany,n.y. replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in Off the Wall Archives
How can any worst 10 not include the Cincinnati Bengals? Bad on the field, bad off the field. -
Been there, done that. When I went to game 3 last year at NE, I printed out an Edwards 2008 sign & attached it to my tee shirt along with a Bills towel (I wanted to avoid trouble & only wore them inside the stadium). Edwards IS the starter in 08 & there's no need to campaign for him-the time to do so was before Edwards ever played.

Kiper won't be giving us a good grade
Albany,n.y. replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It has nothing to do with hating Buffalo. The Bills picked 3 guys in a row in rounds 4 & 5 who he didn't even give a write-up to in his report. That indicates he viewed them as not draftable. He's going off his ratings. If the Bills had picked guys he rated a round or two earlier in those spots and beyond, he would have praised them. It's not about Buffalo, it's about Mel doing a CYA in relation to his draft guide. Remember when he didn't have Fina written up and Fina was calling him out after being picked in the 1st round? Mel doesn't care what the team is, he bases his grades on his own numbers. -

There goes the draft -
Whos having the best worst draft?
Albany,n.y. replied to K-Gun10's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
JP is having the worst draft-it might have dawned on him by now that nobody is willing to give up anything to acquire him. -
Doesn't matter, but the last 3 picks didn't even get a writeup from him in his draft report. Now if we had more Kiper fans they'd be going as ballistic as the idiots who are quoting from other draft sources & declaring that the Bills front office is messing up the draft.
-
I like doing 3 things at once on draft days-ESPN on the tv, WGR on the computer, message boards on the computer. I'm now down to ESPN & message boards & have lost the best local coverage available, including interviews with front office & players after the picks. I'd rather have my ESPN on my tv go dead than have to turn off WGR's draft coverage.
-
I'm listening to WGR & suddenly a hockey game comes on-and it's not even the Sabres! Why switch from the draft to a non-local hockey game?
-
Paying their professional scouts & not listening to the amateur who wrote the s##t you posted from. It's amazing that you read someone's draft analysis & think he knows more than the guys who get paid to watch & sometimes actually talk to these players.

Another CB !!? with the 4th pick... WHY!!
Albany,n.y. replied to BILLS #1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You don't fill needs on day 2. You take the best player on your board. You fill needs & the TE or C you take busts in training camp. You have to stick with the board and if a guy sticks out on your board, you trade up & get him rather than waiting your turn. Day 2 is a total crapshoot & you never pick by position this late-that's why you pay your scouts & don't go on the internet to find out who the fans want. Anyone who is criticizing a 4th round pick or lower is being ridiculous. -
Does Marv pull the trigger on Hardy?

And a Bills HOF RB has the killer instinct. -
OFFICIAL: 3pm is here 2008 Draft Thread
Albany,n.y. replied to ndirish1978's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What I hate about this draft is the Jets & Patriots are each going to get a very good player. -
They didn't hire Tom Donahoe.
-
Even though we'd never get it, you believe that having a disgruntled backup QB, who may never play a meaningful down next year and then plans on leaving after the season, is better than receiving a 3rd round pick, when there are veteran options no worse than him to replace him? I'm glad you're not negotiating anything a 1 Bills Drive.

When the Bills are on the clock...........
Albany,n.y. replied to elegantelliotoffen's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I remember watching the draft in 2004 & when the logo switched from Dallas to the Bills I was celebrating because I knew it was for JP Losman. That's why I'm not qualified to be Bills GM & as it turned out, neither was Tom Donahoe.
