Concerts, soccer, lacrosse, local college and even high school sports. It's about showing the rest of the country your best attribute....the waterfront. A properly placed stadium makes the city look better. Look at Pittsburgh!
EXACTLY - look at Pittsburgh. It's a thing of beauty!

I've played a lot of football in my life. Practise is always in pads. You can't practise unless you are in pads.
You can learn in shorts, you can condition in shorts, but to practise you have to get the gear on and bang heads.
Bravo Mr Gailey.

I hate holdouts. But Revis has to do what is right for him - namely masses of cash now, because tomorrow he could break his leg in practise and never play again.
His original deal worked out far better for the Jets than it did him, and in my view he is right to see to at least balance that out.
He's the best corner in football and probably deserves to be paid as such.
I just hope the saga drags on - we could use the Jets being unstable.

I think the AS decison is more about rebuilding than it is an endorsement of Maybin.
I haven't seen much, but what I have Maybin hasn't lit it up. He's raw, transitioning to a new position and needs to get NFL ready. He was a bad pick, always a project, and we will see that this year. In a year - maybe the situation is different, but I can't see him delivering much this year.

Yeah me too. WTH is munters?
English slang for unattractive people.

...of both of them.
The guy and the woman are bout to be munters, both of them.

Just completed my final instalment of pundity on Shredd and Ragan Show.
England suck ass. Supporting my country is like supporting the Bills.
Viva Brazil!

Holes in 2010
Offense
LT
RT (Green is a career journeyman)
C (Hang is almost average)
WR #2
Slot receiver
TE's (young or unproven)
QB
RG (if Wood doesn't come back 100%)
Installation of a brand new offense and new terminology.
Defense
Depth at DE
Depth at NT (Troup is a rookie)
ROLB (Maybin is a ?)
LOLB (Kelsay)
Installing a brand new defense, new terminology and about half the players are playing a brand new position for them.
Other than those few holes this team is ready for a SuperBowl run.
You are missing MLB. Andra Davis also a bit of a journeyman.
And the jury is kind out on Poz isn't it?
-
Agree entirely on Troup. He is the key to the defense as an anchor in the middle. And that's alot to ask out of a rookie coming from UCF.
He only has to do it spelling with Kyle Williams. It's manageable. Kyle can do a job too.

UPDATE - I am on at 4.40 today

I am aiming at heading out to Buffalo for my Birthday again - probably for the Steelers game at Thanksgiving.
I'll need tickets - and best way I have found is to buy someone's season tix.
So - if you want the cash in exchange for that game, let me know by PM.

Nice article - but too much Kool Aid.
Offense might be better but not markedly - we have made no appreciable improvements to the OL which means more waiting for development.
Coach changes are good - but they need players and there are too many open positions to expect delivery right off the bat.
I love they way we are going - but we need more years to make it count. Nix and Gailey say 3 years - I expect them to deliver.

the players better start to understand that they are not partners in the league but are employees.
Sure, but there is no league without the players...

gotcha... have to keep an eye on their podcasts but they're on from 3-8pm ET...they record every interview they do so people can listen on their mp3 players if they couldn't listen live http://www.wedg.com//Article.asp?id=970486
err - so I guess listen to them now to hear me!
-
At 2pm? You mean 3pm? Shredd and Ragan don't go on the air til 3...James is on from 10-3
In which case... When are they on - I guess I pre-recorded with them.
Stadium on the Waterfront

A waterfront stadium would do wonders for Buffalo. If ever a city needed to restart is beating heart is was Buffalo.
I'm an out of towner (obviously) and I am totally besotted with the City of Buffalo - the boonies, not so much. Buffalo has a wealth of fantastic architecture, magnificent buildings that just have no life to them anymore. That's mainly because the spread of the city has dragged commerce away from the centre like too many American cities. Downtown feels hollow and soulless... And it shouldn't.
You get a tiny bit of THAT feeling when you pull off the freeway and see Dunn Tire Park - like you get in Pittsburgh. You could get LOTS of THAT feeling with a waterfront stadium. Buffalo's skyline is already fantastic - a stadium added to it would make it really striking...
A waterfront Stadium complex with associated retail and accommodation would transform downtown. You'd have your Hockey Arena, Baseball stadium and Football Stadium all in a couple of blocks - you'd attract more and more people downtown, breating life and colour into a town that is dying unneccessarily. You already have a metro system to connect a vibrant student population in the north to downtown. The airport easily serves downtown. You have a good rail service that stops right in the heart of downtown.
We should be celebrating our beautiful city, not cyring about the old steel industry days and dwindling population.
