All I know is, if Ted came back and played only on third downs, that would be a big upgrade for this defense.

As I've said before, this is one of the things I noticed about Lovie Smith when he took over the Bears, and I wish we would get a coach who would say the same thing. One of Lovie's first comments when taking over the Bears was that the team's first and most important goal at that time was to beat Green Bay, whatever it took. Green Bay would be their Super Bowl, or something to that effect. I've been wishing that we would hire a guy who would come in and say "Our first goal in the process of making this team into a champion is to beat New England."

DAMMIT I could never figure that one out.

How about "all of the time"?

It doesn't have to be funny. If he gets any kind of thought in his head, original or not, he repeats it. Over and over and over, ad nauseum. It's the only way he can fill the ten minutes of air time out of every twenty before the next SportsCenter update. He really made a great point when someone e-mailed him a while back complaining that Lenny P and Gazoo were ripping on the Bills' hiring of Levy because they're just Donohoe cronies. He said he was going on air to "defend" his ESPN mates. His only defense, however, was cracking jokes about how old Levy and Wilson are. I now prefer riding to work in silence in my car than listening to this jackass.

Oh dear sweet Lord, please say it isn't so.

It was truly embarrassing. And funny, in a macabre sort of way.

The only thing I was really hoping for at this press conference was for Dick to pull a Lovie (oh man, that just sounds WRONG) and declare that our #1 goal will be to beat New England at all costs.

All we need is Mike Brown!

Oh, cool. Thanks. I'm sure everyone here was wondering what Bills fans thought about the Jauron hire.

I know, it sucks to have to actually wait and see what happens rather than just assuming.

Not even close.

It's threads like this that make me rethink my stance on forced sterilization.

But not until tomorrow. You know, early bird special time.

He said don't mention it!!

Only if they also go with the black high tops!

Pure ecstasy. I remember being there with my friend at halftime with the realization that we were actually going to go to the Super Bowl. Blew my mind.

dickleyjones is right. Use VLC for coded mpgs on a mac. Worked fine on mine. Oh, and F you, ESPN.

I thought you were going to say we were bringing him in for an interview next week.

My brother-in-law is a lifelong fan, has season tix. Hated Jauron. Feels really bad for me right now.

Was he contacted to let him know that we wouldn't be calling for an interview?

We'll find out eventually... I was a big Bloom County fan, but like most strippers Breathed burned out and he needed some time off. Unfortunately, he could never recapture his old humor. Personally, I was probably a little more bummed when Watterson gave up Calvin & Hobbes. That guy was a master, and he hadn't really jumped the shark when he retired.

Just heard Gazoo on the radio suggest that Dom Capers was probably coming in later this week to interview, and that they are still "trying to work out" something with Haslett. FWIW. Edit: What the hell am I doing listening to this crap? I thought I swore off it.

The name Art Shell has been bantered around recently, I understand.

It is possible. For some people, depending on their disease. For most people, that will work for a limited period of time. It would be fairly rare to see that work long-term.
