Whites Bay

Not meaning to pick nits, but I think Mike Williams was drafted to fill the RT spot. I'm happy to stand corrected, believe me. But I remember thinking "Whiskey-Tango-Lima-Foxtrot" on Draft Day 2002. What on earth did we need a RT for? But I gave Snow White the benefit of the doubt, and THAT ended about 4 months later. I'm clueless as to the mindset of the Brain Trust - just like everyone else on this board. But my $0.02 says that Buddy Nix is really enjoying the fact that he's finally made GM of an NFL team. He's put in his time. He's kissed the appropriate ass. He's twisted the appropriate arms. He's broken the appropriate knees. He's blackmailed the appropriate opponent. In the words of Mel Brooks, "It's good to be the King". It's not been an easy climb, but Buddy Nix is now the General Manager of the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League. One of Thirty Two such entities in the world. A rarified venue, a winning lottery ticket, a portal to another dimension that you and I will never, ever experience. He's not going to reach out with his left hand and push down on the flush lever, and watch his career smack repeatedly into the side of the toilet bowl by picking Tim Tebow with the #9 overall pick. Think about yourself in that situation - smack, smack, smack until the filty toilet water fills your nostrils and mouth, and the last thought in your oxygen-starved brain is along the lines of "Jesus, what was that guy eating.....?". But I digress. Let go your enthusiasm, and picture the collective looks on the faces of Bills Nation when THAT choice is announced. Set up a stand on your front yard to sell pitchforks and torches. You'll be able to retire on the proceeds. Not...going....to...happen...

I'd take the same talent for the league minimum.

And listen to this board B word about everything for the next couple of years. Include me out.

Good read, and a good pick up. I'd do this in a heart-fuggin'-beat. You shouldn't really post things like this. Many of the posts that show up here are sheer garbage, bereft of all reasoning, sentence structure, punctuation and syntax. THIS actually looks like something within the realm of possibility, and now it's the only thing on which I'll focus as we close in on Draft Day. Thanks for nothing. What a monstrous move this would be.

I think the problem was a permanent pause at Step 4. Not to throw rose petals at the foot of Bill in NYC, but how many goddamn DBs are you going to draft over three-four years? This is the critical factor. My guess - and I'm only blowing smoke up my own back door - is that we don't go anywhere NEAR defensive secondary in this draft. Hooray.

Ironically, that's the situation in which the Rams found themselves LAST time they were in Southern California. Anaheim Stadium hosted the Angels and Rams. I had season tickets from 1987-1990. Talk about a crap crowd experience. Everyone used to bail about 10 minutes after half time - winning or losing - just to beat the traffic. I just can't see the NFL ever EVER going back to Southern California. Just an awful, awful football experience.

You have FRIGGIN' nailed it. Good God, enough.

The world's a far more bereft place without him.

And that was the first person of whom I thought when I saw this thread title. Half the NFL gave him up for dead last year, but he turned out pretty damn good this past year, didn't he? By the way, how did Kelly do on the Wonderlic? Not a loaded question - just wondering if anyone knows. By the way #2 - Good to see you again, Dean. It must be off-season!

Off topic, as usual, but I'm reading "Genius", by James Gleick. Does this ring a bell with you, Feynman?

THAT, young lady, was a naughty, naughty thought. Banish that.

Bingo, Nanker, Bingo. This place has become a collective suicide watch. I'll check in after the draft...to listen to all the whiners talk about what a crappy job Nix et al did.

Those were, indeed, exceedingly cool. I second that emotion.

San Antonio?!? Good...friggin'...luck. Jerry "More for me, Screw you" Jones considers San Antonio to be a Cowboys market. Been there lately? You might see one, maybe two Cowboys jerseys. There's NO F-ING WAY Jones would roll over on that one - not having just plunked down a cool billion on a memorial to himself. He has a hell of a note to service. You'd have a better chance of putting a second team in New England.

Jesus. Just Google "Garo Ypremian", "Washington Redskins" and "Interception". And move on to the next topic...

But I thought the Bills sucked at drafting. How could this be?

How many times do we have to go over this? Defensive tackle, or Left Tackle? Who said anything about quarterback?

And the Buffalo Bills announce the signing of........

Jesus, you're a mess. Not just in terms of sentence structure, but just as a bitter, bitter person. How's the rest of your life doing?

SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP. Kevin Gilbride coming BACK to Buffalo as Head Coach is just %&*#ing insanity. Goddamnit, please, for the love of whatever God you worship, check your water supply. You've been living downstream of the acetone factory for about one month too long.

We'll get the guy from the Alouettes.

Look, mate, I understand your point. Here, however, is the catch: 1) How much better is he going to be than Ryan Fitzpatrick after having played....er....how many downs this year? 2) How much better is he going to be than Trent Edwards after having played....er...how many downs this year? 3) How much credibility is he going to have after having tossed a 0.0 against the Bills? Let that one roll off your tongue for a few moments. Let's repeat it again, for the junior-high-schoolers that frequent this board. (ahem)... Joey Harrington threw a 0.0 quarterback rating against the 7-9 Buffalo Bills. (Wash, rinse, repeat...) Joey Harrington threw a 0.0 quarterback rating against the 7-9 Buffalo Bills. Come on, mate. Come on. Deep breath, shrug shoulders, left-foot-in-front-of-the-other...

I recognize the avatar. And, may I say..."Well done, Magox. Well done!".

Watched it this morning. Not a bad piece...in terms of production. In terms of content, well, let's face it...it's pretty much dead-on, and pretty much depressing. Really lays a lot of blame on Modrak and Guy, doesn't it? My personal opinion? (Not that you give a schit, but it's a web board). The Bills' college draft the past couple of years has been pretty good. Maybe not great, but pretty good. The Bills' free agent signings? A hemorrhage.

It's my communicative skills that fail me at moments like this. Your point is valid, but it misses MY point. Are you a parent? Do you have children getting the schit kicked out of them at sporting events?
