  1. You don't know what the pick is. You're guessing only. You have every right to criticize the FO. Perhaps I took my frustration out on you unfairly. I don't remember a lot of your posts here. I tend to read the post and ignore who wrote it, in most cases. There are some people who do nothing but criticize. I've criticized moves the team has made I just get tired of the people who constantly criticize everything. Thanks!
  2. And this affects me how? I should care why? Unfortunately when the team turns around there will be room for the bandwagoners to come back!! BTW, I think the FO wants a certain type of player on this team. Lynch wasn't around very much in the off season and is one shot away from a year suspension. I'll reserve total judgment until the second pick is announced but right now I like this. I'd rather they get the chemistry right and go from there. For those who think Lynch is a bad player, he went to the pro bowl for cryin out loud. He sucked last year but looks good, so far this year. JMO I really wish Bell was still on the the PS. They'll probably promote Anderson. BTW, does anyone know if the Bills had to dump a player in order to reactivate Nelson? If so this does that.
  3. Ok people, stop and read the facts. A lot of people here are bashing the FO for trading Lynch for a 4th round pick. Here's a snippet of one of the articles linked here. Bolding by me; Jay Glazer of FOX reports that the Seahawks have finagled Lynch from the Bills for a fourth-round pick in 2011 and a conditional pick in 2012. A lot of posters I've read in this thread seem to think it's for a fourth rounder only. How about we lay off of the FO bashing until we find out what the conditional pick is.
  4. RIP Greg, you were one funny !@#$!!!
  5. Thanks man, but they don't work. WHAM used to carry the games and when I just went to WGRF they're just playing rock music. I'll have to email ESPN. I have a feeling it's gonna be a pay to listen type deal.
  6. IMO, it won't be for the same salary they will pro rate the existing contracts at a per game rate and add two more weeks of pay. JMO Also, they should add a second bye week for each team. This would give players another week during the season to heal and TV stations another week of games. I also believe that if they are going to 18 games the size of the active roster needs to be increased to approx. 60-65 players and if a rookie wage scale is put in then the percentage of money the players get right now shouldn't change. JMO I agree slightly with you and used to agree with you fully, until I realized that to go to Notre Dame as a student it's $38,480, per year. These athletes get "paid" almost $40,000 a year. What they choose to make of their education is up to them. The vast majority of these guys won't even get a quick glance by professional sports leagues so if a guy wants to waste the free education it's his right, but a damn fool thing to do. IIRC, less than 1% of all graduating scholarshipped football players make it to a 53 man NFL roster every year. I don't know if the scholarships include books but food and lodging are included. It's a very sweet deal if they use it right. The money the school makes off the athletic program goes to keeping tuition down for those without academic or athletic gifts that enable them to have a free education. If my family was mortgaging the house in order to send me to Notre Dame I'd be livid any time someone complained about the players being taken advantage of. However, I do see your point. It seems they are taken advantage of because of the total number of dollars involved, but after thinking it through I'm a lot more on the college's side. JMO I don't think so. I believe Polian is one of the people on the negotiating team and is stating something that has been agreed upon, now, by both sides, JMO
  7. Shaq and free throws is the best example I can think of.
  8. Did anyone watch the Sunday Night game? There were times Henne couldn't hit the barn side of a broad. He overthrew a lot of guys and there was one pass at the end of the game, I forget to who, that all he had to do was throw it to him about 10 yards away. The guy was just standing there and the DB had passed him and not turned around yet. IIRC, this occurred in the endzone. This is probably not the exact correct thread for this post but I'm sick of this Henne is going to be good BS. You put TE, RF or BB behind their O-line and they'd outplay Henne by a mile. JMO
  9. Effing puritans!!
  10. :worthy: Yes! Yes! Yes! :worthy: If the kid who was nailing her had anything to do with her being caught he's a moron.
  11. Ummmm, you do know that costume designers that work for Sesame Street decide what people on the show will wear, right? One of my favorites; "Chickens just back from the shore"
  12. Last week 950am the local ESPN affiliate didn't carry the game and neither did ESPN radio online. Does anyone know where a link can be found for the game or a station in Rochester that will carry it? Thanks in advance.
  13. *Sigh* Go commiserate with the Pets* fans that think the Giants got an unfair clock advantage against NE*.
  14. If you're not a Bills fan why waste your time here? BBM Would you be a good husband if you told your wife she'd most likely fail at something? No, being a true fan is, IMO, saying that it looks like Buffalo will have their hands full but that with RG out the Bills will probably stack the line and make Rodgers throw into one of the top five secondaries in the NFL a lot. This board would be so much nicer if the band wagon fans only posted when the team was doing well. JMO Look for Byrd to have a big day tomorrow.
  15. No, I can't. It only gives you a couple of minutes to change it. I would hope people realize I was typing fast when I did it.
  16. Particularly sweet because I really hate ND! It took me a split second to realize what they were doing and then he caught it and was just gone, nobody near him. It was pretty amazing when it all finally sank in. It looked like nobody on ND was prepared for something like that. That's a classic example of; "If it works you're a genius." "If it fails you're an idiot."
  17. This should be interesting.
  18. I heard Circuit City is having a sale on Iphones for $350.
  19. I could climb that pretty easily. Getting me to do it would be another story. While I believe I possess the skills to climb it you'd have to give me a billion Gajillion dollars to do it.
  20. Agreed, if this is indeed true. I could see him as a negotiating tool that they'll drop to look like they are giving in on something. JMO It's also possible that what is written below is part of it too. As long as we're making daring predictions I'd say that if Lee is involved that Amstel could be right. The Bills, supposedly, want Gaither. BMore supposedly wants CB's. Could it be Lynch for Lee and Jones from GB and then Terrence McGee to the cRavens for Gaither? Or they could showcase him to get GB to agree to the deal. The danger there is that he ends up sucking or injured.
  21. I just heard about the season ending injury. After this weekend Lynch might be a Packer or Joique Bell will be a Packer. If I'm Buffalo I move Bell to the 53 man roster, today. JMO
  22. If the Bills seriously tried a trade to get him back. It would take Eric Wood and a draft pick from Philly to get him. The Bills got the best of that deal big time. Wood wasn't the only draft pick. IIRC, the Bills got Shawn Nelson with an Eagles pick. If the Bills seriously tried a trade to get him back.

  23. Reminds me kinda of Linda Olsen(?) and the Pets. She was so vilified by people in the public for being harassed that she had to move to Australia. I'm not in the mood to look for the story now but I will later.
