I'm sorry -- I missed that quote. Link please?

There is a school of thought (and social research) that says the poor residents of Jonestown did not drink Kool-Aid but rather a competing product called Flavor Aid. This should not be confused with the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Tests of the mid-1960s in which Kool-Aid was laced with LSD. And I agree with your premise. Conventional wisdom is usually has it back-asswards.

He was on the downside of his career when the Steelers let him walk. Only he didn't know it at the time. If the Bills could pick him up for a rock-bottom price then he might make a good backup and mentor to some of the youngsters. But he's not worth a big bucks or long term commitment. And I'm sure that's what he and his agent are looking for.

Elaborate please. Your argument is intriguing but somewhat vague. What were the Donohoe/Williams/Mularey and Levy/Jauron plans? How are they similar, if not identical, to the current regime's plans. Examples and specifics, please.

Your question would hold a lot more water if the Bills took Tebow or one of those other "sexy" QBs. just my opinion

How about Joe Namath, Joe Theismann or Sonny Jergensen? Sorry, but Jack Kemp isn't available.

Let''s hope he lives long enough for Nix and Gailey to turn the team around .

To tell the truth, haven't watched ESPN for anything in years. The last time I saw boomer was when he introduced Ralph at the HOF. But I can't help thinking that it would be a total and complete humiliation if the NFL's own TV channel found itself to be out-researched or out-analyzed by any other channel.

I've had it for about 10 years now -- the local Bills bar is too full of drunks (sorry but being s**t-faced by 1 p.m. ain't cool anymore. I'll probably follow the Bills to the grave, theirs or mine. I did drop the MLB package this summer. My team, the Pirates, have gone 17 years without a winning record. Enough's enough and I think the Bills will rebound before they hit the 17-year mark

I'm not familiar with Levi Brown, so I watched some Youtube videos -- and his passes didn't seem to have a tight spiral. Not trying to judge the kid, but I seem to recall Jim Kelly once saying that the key to surviving as a passer in the Ralph is to be able to throw a tight spiral. Were these videos an aberration? Thoughts, anyone? By the way, this thread is hilarious -- best I've seen in ages.

It's Kool-Aid, dipsheet.

He's a Bills fan because Ralph is the only owner older than he is.

Some might say that about the Bills, too. I just have the impression that players who kick butt at Nebraska tend to be mediocre to average NFL players. Don't have stats to prove it though

Pardon my ignorance, but do Cornhuskers usually pan out in the NFL

What's this fetish about McNabb? If he was still such a freaking great QB, the Eagles wouldn't have let him go, let alone trade him to another NFC East team.

Actually, Dan Snyder, the short, meddling owner of the NFL franchise with the racist nickname, spent the last 10 years treating his team like some sort of fantasy league team. He threw money at "big" names (think an over-the-hill Bruce Smith) and got nothing for his efforts. Actually, he got 10 years of sellouts, but that's another story, because the DC marketplace has a much wealthier fan base. But Snyder finally realized that throwing money at every free agent who comes into town is no way to build a winning team. He hired a legitimate GM and a well-known coach. We'll see what happens in the next year or two. But the point is, throwing money at free agents usully doesn't work, unless you are looking to fill specific holes or gaps in your lineup.

Dan Snyder, the short meddling owner of the NFL franchise with the racist nickname, has been VERY quiet so far. Maybe he's learned his lesson.

Amen

Actually, it could pass as pittsburgh if it had 4349 well-paying jobs.

Couldn't agree more

Steve Spurrier was head coach of the Washington NFL team with the racist nickname in 2002-03. He was a total bust in DC (although he made a ton of money from Danny Snyder a/k/a the short meddling owner), but what do you all make of this connection -- is there something there, is it just coincidence, or a red herring. I honestly don't know anything about whether Spurrier ever gave defenses a second thought. Tho I seem to recall him being a totally hands off HC in DC.

Hmm --maybe chicken little was right. The sky is falling!

Frankly, I don't care who wins, as long as it's not the Saints or Jets.

and your point is?
