With the way he's playing, someone might claim him...

At least Painter is so horrible that we should roll over him once Manning is out.

Coasting on his NFL career. He's the author who writes one great novel and spends the rest of his life selling crappy books on its reputation

(Just posted this in shout box, but maybe better here). I'm looking forward to seeing how Trent responds. I really hope they put him back in. Last year he tended to fall apart after making a mistake and when go into a shell. If he does the same here, it will say a lot about his mental progress. I thought he looked okay before that pick. Not great, but not horrible.

I really like how Madden has tailored the announcer's Super Bowl comments to each team. Video games have certainly come a long way. QUOTE (BillsFanInLV @ Aug 13 2010, 02:18 AM) WTF is Obama doing in the White House? Agreed, the election can't get here soon enough. I'm anticipating thousands of pre and post election thread hijacks.

The man transcends denominations, Buffalonian. And you better watch it. He just might hear you and crash our website again like he did a few years back when someone made an offhand remark about his footwork.

It will never happen, but I agree with you completely. The incredibly high salaries are also one of the reasons the average fan can no longer afford to go to many games. The way prices to attend sporting events have sky rocketed since the 80s is sickening. I know, I know, it's a business, free markets, supply and demand and such, but it's still a sad state of affairs.

Best response in the comments section of the article: "Clayton framed him"

Couldn't the NFL and NFLPA solve this issue by making contracts guaranteed while also creating harsh penalties for holding out. Both sides would come out ahead from such a bargain and it would end all of this BS

What a thug. Time to run him out of here. Torches ready... and... GO!

The poor bastards in our division will never see it coming. It's fool proof, like when we ran the no huddle simply to fool the Patriots last preseason. Brilliant!

Seriously, can everyone just calm the hell down? It's unbelievable the extent to which this guy is being criticized. I'm not defending his past actions, but this has become ridiculous. We're just missing the thread critiquing the number of bathroom breaks he takes or his choice to waste time with three shakes when two will do just fine. The season can't start soon enough.

What's his Madden rating?

agreed, and Buffalo's image takes another hit

Good point, perhaps they should have stuck with their original name (the Bisons). Here's a link that explains why/how the name changed. http://www.profootballhof.com/history/nicknames.aspx

I do; we are now enemies. @#$@ face

Bills trade 5th for Campbell on day 1 when Skins realize that is all they can get for him.

No, he provides information on the 49ers, Raiders, and sometimes the Utah Jazz.

ZING!

How did this turn into a thread about college professors and whether or not they are overpaid? Has anyone done the math to figure out how many seats it would take to replace the revenue lost from downsizing corporate sky boxes? I'm for no longer subsidizing the corporations entertainment expenditures regardless, but I'm not sure if what the writer suggests is viable.

In a heartbeat. For that price, why not? (assuming he can be gotten cheaply of course)

Does this make Campbell available then? Cue the threads in three, two, one...

I don't think there is any reason to get too upset by Mort's comment. He probably just threw out some teams who haven't performed extremely well of late on the fly; is it really that surprising that we were one of the go to teams?. It's a tweat so who knows how much time went into composing it. His comparison is more a way of feeding into and generating interest in the current hype surrounding the Raiders and McNabb. When the Bills were playing well, everyone was saying the same thing about them. In short, saying football is better when "x" team is playing well has become an overused sports cliche. The same thing will be said about Buffalo as soon as it looks like we have a chance of turning things around (in fact, as noted above, this is what happened when we were 5-1). (Edit) P.S. Can one of the political commentators please create a new thread for the political conversation and link to it? It's not that I don't care what you're talking about or think it is unimportant; this just isn't the place.

Hell no, it isn't. He'd either punch you In the face or fall into a fatal attraction type of love with you; either outcome is bad.

Even if we discount the fact that quarterback rating is an overrated stat, a good quarterback rating in college does not necessarily transfer into success at the pro level. If someone is playing on a great college team, the average opponent defense will be far inferior to your offense and your skill players will be able to dominate an opponent more often than not. Playing on a team that runs a pass heavy offense, especially if they run a lot of short, quick routes will up the rating too. When you remove the system benefits, a supposedly great quarterback can become very average. I know this is an apple to oranges comparison in terms of style, but here's an example: J Russell (college stats) See QB rating: http://espndb.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=146755 J Russell (pro stats) See QB rating: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/stats?playerId=10446 I'm not saying that Tebow isn't going to be a success in the NFL; he certainly has the work ethic. However, he has greatly benefited from being on a great team that uses short, quick routes (the high completion percentage boosts the QB rating).
