That was, in fact, Luke Russert. He's been on all week.

I know it...it's one thing for Yanks fans to get all over Sox fans but then you start in on the Tribe and the Jays fans...I don't know, it's sort of pathetic...especially considering who knocked the Yanks out of the playoffs last year

The problem they'll have this year is that they are still in the same division as the Colts, Titans, and Jaguars and we still play in the same division as the Dolphins and the Jets. That helps us immensely. Also considering the fact that we have a good shot at beating the Pats next year in Week 17 unless they are once again 15-1 because in all likelihood they will have everything wrapped up by then and we will hopefully be playing for something.

So we can either be unconvinced as you are or we think that it's a great, heartfelt sincere statement? There's a place called the middle that exists, might want to check it out. It's not that bad.

The way I understood it he texted the guy after the cops came and impounded his car.

Thirded. The fact of the matter is we're all Bills fans for a reason and it isn't because we look up to Marshawn Lynch. The fact of the matter is come September it will be time to play football and I will root for all 53 men who wear the red, white, and blue. I'm hungry for a playoff spot and I'm optimistic because of the way the team has been built. And I'm sure most everyone else on the board feels the same way. Since I wasn't affected one way or the other by the incident I will let everything play out between the parties and I'll just get back to getting ready for some Buffalo Bills football in 2008.

I know, my bad, from here on in it's all football talk from me on this board.

Not sure if I consider it funny or sad, especially considering the fact that the late great John Butler is not even included.

Obviously with guys like Levy/Jauron and the Cardinals GM, they have had less time to build a team but less draft picks to bust out, so judging by the percentages that they use in the article they would be ranked higher because they haven't had as many "bust-outs", which every team has. The article is obviously flawed but I think it is a good barometer for those mid level teams and what they've done. Obviously Polian, Belichick/Pioli, AJ Smith, etc will be at the top of everyone's list when it comes down to who the best GM is.

My problem is that Fine and Schouman seem like they bring the same things to the table...I know we have Royal to do the other things but how can they possibly work all three into it? I'm sure Schouman will get his chance first while Fine works on the Special Team unit with Fine in the reserves in case Schouman can't get it done in the passing game.

What's so stupid about that. Honestly why can't anyone on this board admit that there may be a middle ground to their opinion. Both the DA and police have both said that they was a good chance that Lynch did not know that he hit someone based on the evidence that they have. I'm not saying that he didn't or condoning what he did but I'm just going by what the people in the investigation said but this clown has to insult people by calling them "ultimately stupid" and other derogatory comments. There is really no need... Please tell me what was so stupid about what I said? Is it because you perceive that my opinion differs from yours? Because I didn't even express opinion in my post.

Thanks for that...I like what he said about McKelvin...he sounds like exactly the type of player that we're looking for.

How do you know he hasn't? Camped out at the court house are you?

I think that it's clear that Marshawn will not get suspended...for a traffic violation. That kind of sounds silly when first time DUI offenders do not get suspended and Marshawn is not guilty of any crime.

I'm not sure either comparison works for me since I am neither african american nor am I a menace to the african american community.

I'll never forget him. I have the DVD of the comeback game with him announcing. RIP Charlie.

RIP Tim...what is going on around here? Can we get some good news???

How come it got so quiet in this thread all of a sudden?

And for the record I won't go as far as to say that many of the posters are racist but I will just say that many have views that I feel are rather "old-fashioned". Of course I did say to take my quote for what you will so....

First to imply it huh? I know there is about 40,000 threads regarding this but by some of the comments i've seen it wouldn't take me too long to find one with racial implications. Hell, that thread about Hardy is filled with them.

I thought the national media was going to start taking this thing seriously? See that's what happens and make such a big deal out of something. ESPN says "Obviously the DA and the fans are making such a big deal, it had to be a fatal hit and run right?"

Wow. After reading the comments at the bottom of that article, maybe some of you guys aren't that bad after all. Banned for a year??? Spending several years in the slammer??? What planet are these people on???

Yes, but not to be confused with "Ralph did something bad." Because he likely didn't. Even if certain members of the administration knew what actually happened (doubtful with how the lawyer has played it so far) Wilson would likely not have been kept in the loop himself. I think any rational person will see Ralph getting subpoenad and automatically assume that the DA is overreacting or grandstanding.

Well, since we are all venting in here let me take the opportunity... If I were a defense attorney and I had a young african american client, I would not want a good portion of the posters on this board on the jury. Take from that comment what you want.

It hasn't gotten anyone else's attention so far...can't find a word of this on the internet anywhere besides the Buffalo sites. And there has hardly been any coverage of this leading up to now. Assuming that giving Ralph and Brandon a subpoena was nothing more than a scare tactic I'm not sure why Goodell would be so upset since they likely have done nothing wrong. We know how efficient Goodell is at looking at these thigns, he is obviously not going to say "Oh, Ralph and Brandon got subpoenas, they're bad people." This isn't as big a deal natonally as people here are making it out to be. Get a grip. It's just like any of the dozens of other arrests made on nfl playesr throughout the offseason.
