Does that mean that Mike Mamula won't be inducted into the Hall of Fame?

A few things; 1) If you can't spell the guys name, is he really that famous? 2) Bobby Moore? And people tell me I try to prove how smart I am 3) A few nominees I would think need being included a) Ron McDole - significant member of the over the hill gang b) Bubba Thornton - unfortunately made a name for himself as USA track coach c) Lou Saban - NFL films put him on the map with the Whitey, your're killing me That being said, in a country were less then 50% of the people know who their vice president is, I'd be surprised if more then 10% know anyone other then OJ and Jack Kemp Edit; forgot TO, but he still hasn't played for them.

You are right, I don't know for sure that a majority of people listening to him actually like him. For my own mental well being, however, I hope that there are not that many miserable people that actually tune in regularly to something they hate.

Don't assume you are in the minority.

And when your view is the majority opinion, the show will be changed. It continues to amaze me how some still can't grasp the realities of business. Everything is about money and to think that there is any other reason for a show's longevity is just naive. There is never going to be a host that is universally accepted as the best. Its no different then picking a favorite pizza or chicken wing eatery. I respect that you hate the show in general and Mike specifically. Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives. Unfortunately for you, whether you want to admit it or not, more people that their sponsors target like the show and its hosts as opposed to don't like it.

Look, I don't want to belabor something that happened 17 year's ago. But, 1) No one considers Wikipedia a reliable source. Anyone can go in and enter what they want. 2) The hall of fame does not "enshrine" anything but human beings 3) Things such as balls, spikes, etc, may be in the hall as part of the history of the game but I have found nothing that shows that the Hall of Fame has bestowed any special significance to the game plan.

Wikipedia? I could make that entry. Find another source.

With all the information available via the internet, I am surprised that anyone looks to talk radio for information. No one ever says anything of consequence while being interviewed anyway and none of the hosts hold themselves to be any more informed then a well read fan so I am not sure what people are really looking for. Personally, I look to be entertained and sometimes I am, and other times I look elsewhere.

They didn't enshrine it in the Hall. It may be in there as part of the Super Bowl story. If the Bills defense gets the ball back and the point per minute ratio holds, the bills score 28 to 30 points. Did they allow Thurman that 38 yard TD? Did they allo the Bills to get into makeable, albeit difficult, field goal range? If the Bills run Thurman more, the DB's would have had to come up and play the run and Kelly would have went over the top. Unfortunately, Levy and Kelly were stubborn and the defense sucked.

Beat me to it.

I believe the only time you have to let the defense substitute is if you substitute. Ohterwise you don't have to wait for anything.

This continues to be one of the single biggest mis-conception among football fans. The Bills had the ball 20 minutes and scored 19 points. They shredded that defense and if Kelly and Levy had run Thurman more that game would have been a blow out. Belichick is a great coach but that wasn't his best moment.

On the other hand, putting in a system that eliminates some of the time that they may use to over think their assignments might be the best way to minimize mistakes. You throw in a QB whose strength is supposed to be recognition of coverages and a couple of RB who are equally effective running and reveiving and you should be able to find the missed assignments and exploit it. Three things to remember about the K-gun. 1) It was named after Keith McKeller because they thought his speed would be the keep to creating mis-matches. 2) A lot of the big plays were simple crossing patterns that took advantage of missed assignments. 3) Thurman's ability to run, block and catch turned into the ultimate advantage of the no huddle attack

I know its off topic but the end to that game has to rank right up there with the top regular season collapses of all time.

I'm not sure that Cassells, Sanchez or Freeman is a huge upgrade over Sage Rosenfels whom they brought in this off season. The guy they should have targeted was Cutler but after giving up a bunch of picks for Jared Allen last year, I don't think they wanted to move a number one again.

Again, thanks. I guess I'm just not good at playing with others.

Thanks for handling that for me.

Thanks. My thoughts and prayers are with the family also.

Has this been confimed anywhere?

Why would you think he needs convincing? Seems that other then two or three quarterbacks and Jason Whitten, he gets full marks from most of his former teammates. As for Johnson and Hardy, its way too early to pass judgement on either player but I too am optimistic on both fronts.

You really think it is going to be 4 or 5 years before they become a good team? While I have high hopes for this draft, I suspect that the 2007 draft will go down as the draft that turned this franchise around and hopefully the trio of drafts from 2007 through this year will make them better sooner then 4 or 5 years from now.

Wish this would have been what I said. Perfect.

I am pretty sure he now has the experience and weapons to surpass 300 yards on occassion, but I am sure you realize that in the last two years only 2 guys have averaged over 300 yards and Brady just barely passed it in 2007.
