bills44 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Also, for a guy not covering sports anymore, Graham still has his finger on the pulse quite a bit... he does have sources...
Realist Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Also, for a guy not covering sports anymore, Graham still has his finger on the pulse quite a bit... Thought of that too, for not covering sports anymore, why is he the one breaking the cuts?
Kelly the Dog Posted September 3, 2011 Author Posted September 3, 2011 Thought of that too, for not covering sports anymore, why is he the one breaking the cuts? Because he lives in Buffalo, works for the BuffNews, and still has a bunch of contacts with the team and around the league and wants to get the word out first?
bills44 Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Quick name the top three VT players not named B.Smith, M. Vick, E. Royal, or D. Hall to be worth a damn in the NFL. go! Most over-rated school and program in the NCAA... Antonio Freeman was pretty good. Duane Brown is decent. Always like Keion Carpenter. Chris Ellis? Corey Moore? LOL... I do agree that the program is quite overrated. Because he lives in Buffalo, works for the BuffNews, and still has a bunch of contacts with the team and around the league and wants to get the word out first? why aren't the TBN sports writers breaking the cuts? Don't they have sources within the organization?
ColdBlueNorth Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I thought he was wasting roster space...just did not show enough commitment - should have been doing more to improve while rehabbing the hand. Buddy and Chan have to free up space for prospects that they feel have a chance, this makes sense. Hairston looked like a keeper. Need to pick up a few more o-linemen off some rich team's practice heap to round out the depth. Although I would keep Hang around for that purpose as well, but Littman and Brandon will probably cut him so we can get 50% under the cap. Brandon must have something over on ol' Ralphy, went from Marketing, to GM, to CEO of the Bills - not sure what he has ever done, but show a remarkable ability to not only survive, but to flourish after making blunder upon blunder. It was not his marketing prowess that has kept the Bills viable in WNY, but rather the fans that fund stadiums, and keep buying tickets and gear despite all the cheap bone-headed football moves - my own opinion and folks are free to disagree. That being said, I do feel that Nix and Chan could be successful - they know the game and can put guys in a position to win. If only they are given enough funds to do so... they are taking care of the young core of Bills they are building like Kyle Williams, lets see if Ralph or the next owner is willing to spend down the road to keep any more gems we uncover and develop.
Boludo Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 the bills circumcised the team! buddy is a mohel!

On Brandon, I have a friend who's in a position to know who's told me that it's pretty clear to him that Brandon has ingratiated himself with Wilson and his family and that's what he owes his survivability to, FWIW....
Beerball Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Good. One final round of Wang jokes and we can be done with it. And now Ed Wang limply leaves Buffalo. He arrived hard, ready to go a slight drizzle leaking out of the corner of his maw, he was excited. Coaches knelt before him, they stroked his ego telling him what he wanted to hear. "Wang," they said "you belong to us and we know exactly how to use you." But one short year later it was obvious to everyone, Wang couldn't get the job done. He wasn't a finisher no matter how much fluffing he got prior to game time. He was unable to Wangblock. He was ineffective when pulled. As a straight ahead ramrod he barely made a dent in the defense. Wang, we thought we knew ye, but you disappointed us all. We expected to see Wang on full display in all his glory, angry, hard, ready for action. We expected a virtual flood from Wang, we wanted to see Wang spit in the eye of the opposition but Wang couldn't deliver. Ed Wang you disappointed us and left us wanting so much more.

cthodge Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Quick name the top three VT players not named B.Smith, M. Vick, E. Royal, or D. Hall to be worth a damn in the NFL. go! Most over-rated school and program in the NCAA... I would hardly say that. They are an excellent school in academics and finish every year as a nationally ranked team in football. They are already being talked about as contenders for the national championship, so I don't understand how they are overrated.
DC Tom Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 "Wang is cut, according to new Bills GM and President of Football Operations, Lorena Bobbit..."
cage Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) Good. One final round of Wang jokes and we can be done with it. Wang should've be at Center, between Levitre and Wood! They had him in the wrong position. Edited September 3, 2011 by cage
Jim in Anchorage Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Well, nip the shock! Racist much? Even so, please get it right--that's a derogatory term for Japanese, not Chinese.... Good call Matt. I believe the correct term is "Zipperhead".
TheMadCap Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I would hardly say that. They are an excellent school in academics and finish every year as a nationally ranked team in football. They are already being talked about as contenders for the national championship, so I don't understand how they are overrated. that's exactly my point. They get talked up every single year, yet they lose to JMU and never seem to beat regular contenders. Outside of an occational win vs Fla state or Miami, can anyone name one recent VT victory over someone they were underdogs too? They are the Jets of the NCAA, constantly over rated. Academics (except for those on the football team) are generally pretty good, they are a huge school with many graduates...
