Ah yes, Herr Berchtold taking over the conference.

That is (Modrak, Guy) worthy

:rolleyes:

But Cowher was at Cappelli's about an hour ago.

I would prefer seeing Nix as the director of scouting, bumping Modrak out the door. How many people become first-time GMs on the wrong side of 70? What took so long? Not a shot at Nix cause he's very capable with college scouting... I envisioned him being in charge of scouting, not the GM. And why announce this NOW? Was Buddy Nix going to run off to another NFL team? Like Richard Manuel Jauron was going to leave the Bills after their 5-1 start last year? Wow, 5-1... this year 5-11.

that's for Tuesday's press conference.

Ralph: I would just like to take one final crap on this Decade of Fail and announce that...

I think it's great that Larry Fine has a computer, fineally.

Bulger is done.

ol jug ears oughta buy the rest of the tix up.

anyone, anyone, bueller?

I would look into the "agreement" that was consummated between Ralphie and the Mr. Rogers family. I suppose the agreement still stands even after a transfer of ownership, cause I'm guessing the agreement pertains to the team and has nothing to do with the owner. I would buy out the last two years of the agreement with Toronto... What would that be, 2/5 of the amount? That would suck, 30 million to throw to them. So, let's hypothetically say one more year of the SKYDOME crap... I call the shots on that one... I smack Goodell upside the head and say he puts the Lions in as the opponent at the SKYDOME! Now, having modified that... it's time to start contacting the big players in the "stadium building business"... HOK and firms like those. I want them each (about 5 of them all told) ...each of them to do an independent analysis of the superstructure of the stadium. I want to know what the integrity of the facility is like. Is it in good enough working order for another decade, maybe another 15 years. This has to be known if you want to iron out one last lease agreement with Eeeerie County. Would be cool to have the team play there for another 10, maybe even 15 years. (I'm viewing this from the angle that I am much more wealthy than any other NFL owner, albeit that doesn't have to apply to the situation). So, let's say 10 more years at Buffalo Bills Stadium... (the name changes once Ralphie gives up ownership). I purchase all the land that is on the ECC South grounds once I tell Chris Collins he'd better consolidate ECC to one downtown campus. As the last lease with Buffalo Bills Stadium reaches its 8th year, construction of a new, similarly designed, oval-shaped, outdoor only (no retractable roof) stadium with 90,000 seats would be built running alongside Southwestern Boulevard. I think one of the few major changes I'd like to see would be adopting Baltimore's scoreboard concept of two huge scoreboards at each end zone. Other than that, I'd like the stadium to look a bit like the current one. No edited add-on additions though. A full lower bowl, two levels of skyboxes on the sidelines and then the two upper decks. Enter in a clause in the transfer of ownership agreement that clearly states the Buffalo Bills must play all home games within the boundaries of Erie Co. NY for the next 50 years. That if any entity attempted to move any home games outside the territory that they would be fined $50 billion during the first year of the agreement. In year two it would be $100 billion and would double in penalty every following year of the 50. and also hire Ron Wolf... and he can hire Cowher if he so chooses. and I would tell them to go ahead and purge about 30-50% of the roster, if not more.

first of all... would get rid of all those stupid "other team" flags that "adorn" the upper decks. this is no ambassadorship for the league...one team only, the other 31 can go **** themselves. also, those painted helmets of the other teams on the exterior walls of the stadium...that would be painted over. so, for starters I wouldn't call that meddling. OH, and put in individual seats in the upper decks as well. Oh, and hire Ron Wolf if he's interested in being the GM....AND fire the entire coaching staff, AND fire Jeff Lippppmann, AND fire Modrak AND John Guy AND Jim Overdorf AND the strength and conditioning staff AND the training staff AND Chuck Lester because he's nothing more than the Milton Waddams of the Buffalo Bills. So, that's the meddling part... but it's "good meddling".

I saw William Cowher at the airport this afternoon.

Herr Berchtold scrambled the signal.

Something about Ralphie's heirs taking ownership of the team... and then the feed crapped out.

He turned the kid into the second coming of Milton Waddams.

Maybe Schobel's retiring.

I'm buying the team... I kept it secret for quite some time.

ok revised.... 2433 and 12.

I don't think I've ever seen this many QBs go over 4,000 passing yards before... (with a game to spare)... Brees 4388, Rodgers 4199, Peyton Manning 4405, Brady 4212, Rivers 4155, Schaub 4467, Romo 4172, Roethlisberger 4108. Eli Manning has 3880 and Favre has 3886. If each were to play this weekend, they'd also go over 4000. That's a lot of QBs reaching 4000 yards. The awesome duo of Trentafull and Fitzgerald have combined for 2426 and 12 TDs.

Major Dad FAIL

I remember this, having lived in Maryland at the time. News lasted about a week or so and then faded quickly.

Not interested in Vick...just saying similar style QBs and yeah certainly Troy Smith has no baggage. As a backup or 3rd string, that's fine. Franchise needs to aim higher with its starting personnel.

You'd be better off getting Vick. He's had as much playing time as Troy Smith the past few years.
