Theres a Steratore on the list
At least it's not Gene though. What do you guys think? Good Crew?
Her's an interesting article I found about the head ref... perhaps we won't see any bs roughing the Brady calls
Gene is from my hometown of Washington Pa, well my home town is Buffalo, Lakeview actually,but currently
reside in Washington. He was reffing powder puff football games on a 60 yard field a couple of years ago.
He was at a local junior high football game that my nephew was playing in a couple years ago.
He was sitting in the stands behind me with a bunch of his coumps, and the ref. neglegted to blow the whistle
on a running play, the running back breaks free and runs for another 20 yards or so. Gene and his buddies
start harrasing the ref. about the late whistle, and yells out, "come on ref. you only get one chance like
that to get it right", and continues to berate him for a good 5 minutes. I almost fell out of the bleachers
thinking to myself, geez Gene, I have seen you butcher many more than that, and on a national stage no less.
His Dad and uncle are the main reason he is even an NFL official, just proves the old adage, it's not what you know.

Never seen the point in the Pro Bowl for just this reason, and I've never watched a single snap. But I don't blame the players one bit.
I say bullsiht, what a ridiculous spectacle it has become, NHL all star game is the same too.
I remember when Pete Rose barrelled into Fosse at a MLB All-Star game, broke his leg, and ended his career.
Everyone of those players on the field are multi millionaires, why can't they give back for what they already got,
and not be so worried about what they are going to get? I would have to believe that most, if not All, are insured to
some degree against injuries. Like someone already stated, you either play or you don't. If I was the commissioner,
what would concern me the most, is the fact that you have a few going hard, and a bunch basically just dancing with their opponent, to me that is a perfect recipe for injuries.

Listen, I'm not interested in your justifications.
Make no mistake that you committed a crime. The or selling and buying of knock-off anything is illegal. If you are caught with DVDs of ripped and burned movies (and you don't have an original; at that, the current law seems to be that you can have one copy) you can be arrested --- you see that FBI/Interpol warning at the start of movies? Same stevestojan. You saying, "But it's not a real movie --- it's a photocopied dustjacket and a Magnavox DVD-R!" isn't a legal excuse.
Sargent Friday? Joe Friday, is that you? Is that according to the California Penal Code?

I wasn't offend at all. But to make ourselves feel better about Tommy "Hairplugs," let's recap:

I'll take a stab at the appropriate captions:
1. His other secret sexual attraction.
2. His let me see how gay I can look momemt.
3. His 99# weakling moment. Boy he has really bulked up since this one.
4. Cow patty **** kicker moment
5. Not sure what to make of this, sure isn't dancing, stiff as a f'ing board or dancing bear moment

You're touching on a sore subject to me WRT the laxity of TBD enforcing direct links to illegal activity in the area of copyright theft.
Count on the NFL stepping up enforcement, and just bear in mind that many things on this site exist on the good graces of the NFL and the Bills alone.
If you're intent on breaking the law, then so be it. I can't stop you. But don't bring it to this site's living room. There's plenty of other places online to discuss it where they don't care if their site gets shut down.
Puuuuuuulease!!! Are u serious?

That's all she did, that's his story, and he sticking stuck it to it her.

talk about being a homer.. romo, freeman,flacco, dalton, smith are all much better than fitz and outside of gabbert who will be a huge bust and possibly mccoy who isnt very good and tebow all the other guys are about same as fitzy.. be realistic, i know hes our guy... but cmon, hes a journeyman QB who throws 2 yard passes and relies on YAC more than anything. if we could get RG3 i would do it in a second... give them this yrs 1st and next yrs 1st with probably a 3rd rounder and a player that could help them that we dont really need.. they are very short in the secondary and we could probably throw in a guy like mccelvin who was a 1st round pick that we dont really need and they may think they can turn him around.. the guy has all the skill but his IQ is probably lower than his age..
By my account, that would still keep him in the upper 2/3's of the leauge. I would take RG3 in a heartbeat as well,
but I do not know how you could claim that romo, flacco, dalton, and smith are all MUCH better than Fitz,
I just do not see the logic there. I really think that a lot of posters are way off, acting like he was just plain
horrible. I won't debate the homer tag, cuase I am definitley one and proud of it, but some of these other posters
are just plain off in their assessment of him.

Great thread.
First time I have heard this out the box idea.
How could a future HOFer would consider thier career complete without playing for the bills.
The o line, wr's and tight end talent are just as good as indys sb teams.
With the stout d it's not like they would put him in harms way or ask too much of him.
I am sure Chan would be willing to scrap the spread offense and let him call his own plays.
What NFL gm wouldn't want a 60 million dollar backup...
Cold weather and outdoors was always his forte
What qb wanting one last shot wouldn't want to go into one of the toughest divisions with two opposing stout defenses And the concensus top qb in the game?
Eating chicken wings would provide good neck calisthenics
He'd be the first manning to actully play in new York...
And.... They could get dingy too!
Great thread.
Well, that about sums things up for me nicely, good job!

I know that a SB in Hawaii might not be supported by their current venue, but it would be pretty neat.
Prob. to astronomical to go, at least for the average to above average fan. I know I have spelled Hawaii
wrong twice, so I will apologize ahead of time.
-
No, too much risk, just watching his movements on the sidelines is scary, he doesn't seem
to have any range in movement in the neck area, as his whole upper body follows his head when he
looks side to side. I can't believe that this would still be the case several months removed from surgery.
I'm no doctor, but from my casual observation, he doesn't look like he could suit up again and
be nearly as effective as he used to be. I wouldn't blame for trying to get paid one last time though,
and it will likely happen.

I agree with you 100%. Not audibilizing away from the 4th and 1 handoff to Fred down inside their 20 when the Jets had the line stacked in the home game against them, after we had already taken a timeout was pure stupidity. (a QB sneak was the call right there)
Worse than that, the guy is just not that good. And what upside does he really have? Someone explain to me why my thinking is wrong. I want to believe in our starting QB, but after watching him the past couple of seasons, I come to the conclusion that he is a solid backup at best on his good days.
Not gonna argue to vehemently with you, and I to have lost some confidence that was already shaky
with Fitz to begin with. He did have some pretty horrible fau paux's this season, but he also had
some pretty amazing moments.
He did some really good things with basically a thinning and not very intimidating to beign with
recieving corp.I think the big thing is that he just lost his confidence,I look at Fitz as a system
type player, sort of along the line of Sanchez, and should never really be the focus of the offense,
but rather the field general.
I think that we all agree that he is a likeable enough guy, actually from some of the things that
I have read about him, more than likeable, and when compared with the average athelete attitude of today,
he is downright refreshing. So, if they can surround him with the right weapons, and keep him reigned in a bit,
I am very comfortable with him being our short to mid term starting QB, and we do have other more pressing needs.
More concerned with the quality of our back-ups.
I would currently take Fitz over any of the following NFL Staring QB's:
-Alex Smith SF
-Matt Cassel KC
-Carson Palmer/Jason Campbell Radaz
-Tim Tebow Den
-Sanchez Jets
-Freeman TB (Toss-Up)
-Matt Moore Mia
-Colt McCoy Clev
-Whoever the Indy QB was (excluding Manning of course)
-Matt Hassleback Tenn
-Gabbert Jax
-Dalton Cin (had a nice year, not enough body of work)
-Flacco (would be a very tough call, roghly same age)
-Can't remeber the Seattle QB(s) so that makes my case there.
-Arizona all of them
-Grossman Wash
-Romo
That puts him into the top half of the leauge anyhow, IMHO!
Fire away!

I remember reading the same thing in 2007. Must be rough to go to the Super Bowl on a regular basis. It doesn't seem to bother Stealer fans though.
I live there, and belive me, they have no lives outside of the Stellars!
-
Some of these puns are a little fishy.
Like big whale tales!
-
What are you guys blubbering about?
Yeah, they need to just stop spouting off like that.
-
we would have too many william's on the D.we wouldnt know who the announcers are talking about
speaking of which,did you guys see KYLE WILLIAMS playing reciever sunday.dude lost some weight and spent way too much time in the sun
just joking aroundHow about Atoine Moldin covering Atquain Boldin yestrday at the Raven/Pats game.
I also really appreciated the little battle going on between Edleman (the bewb grabber) and Boldin!
Buddy said they'd spend to the cap, on a cash to the cap basis.
OK, just so they don't go cash for crap on us.

Add section122 to the No Fun League.
Regarding your question, crayonz has a certain je ne sais quoi about him.
Is that a local beer?

You can't expect players to survive on piddly NFL salaries alone.
PTR
Classic!! I woud venture to say that it was for personal use only, it is the off season,
probably wouldn't make it to training camp without running out either.
He was busted 4 months ago. The indictment was handed down today.
I didn't know that,the news story made it sound as if it just happened, but I trust your
statement, still just boggles my mind,if he was busted and it carries that kind of penalty,
he must have been dealin.
-
Yeah, but he did that sick front flip.
Hey sage, just noticed that we joined within 5 days of each other, maybe we will graduate together.
though from a glance at the number of your posts, You might be taking accelerated courses.
-
Yeah, but he did that sick front flip.
Correct, and it was awesome. News said carries 1-5 year sentence, but would highly doubt he would get any jail
time, if he does, he might be sticking something else, somewhere else for a while.
-
Just saw on the evening news that he was nailed with 1-6 # of MJ. These guys never cease to amaze me!
Well, should we be suprised, it is the Bungles! Just wow.

I am not going to bother to read this whole thread, but I just felt the need to chime in here.
These things are the exact things you would find in a book "Things losers say"...The formation has exactly nothing to do with the result of the play. The Steelers made a mistake and paid for it, and even they admit as much. You dont hear them saying they got screwed by the refs, because they did NOT get screwed by the refs. Do you have any idea of the number of times a game there is something that can be called and isn't? I promise you that on many plays that game the Steelers could have been called for holding, but were not...thats because you can almost call holding on just about every play.
That is football, its not a video game...its a game being played by real life humans, and some rules require them to see something quickly and make a quick judgement call. Just like there are plays that get called but in the replay you can see that there was no foul but based on the angle of view the ref had it had looked like one during live play.
Refs do their best (despite that morons here you seem to think there is always a conspiracy theory against the Bills by the refs and NFL) to officiate the games...I promise you there are some that throw a flag on that play and also some that don't. Its not why Pitt lost that game...they lost that game based on how they played the whole game. Plus, the rule states the players need to be within the belt line of the center, and the player in question is very close to the belt line...its not like he was 5 feet off the LOS...
Move on people, the Steelers have and acknowledge they blew the game not the refs...
Will you at least acknowledge that subtle manipulation,i.e. scheduling, steering of players, marketing, rule enforcement (not neccessarily just referees), exists? If not, then you sir are the moron. Let me remind you, that the NFL is a BUSINESS, why would leauge officials and team management
reprsentatives not get together from time to time to discuss what policies, rules, and other issues are the most beneficial to the leauge as a whole?
Other industries do it, they have to be carefull that it is not considered collusion, but the NFL does not have that same concern. Everyone wants to brand this type of activity as a conspiracy, and they can call it what they want, but it definitley happens.
-
Without the biasness of looking at other posts, I am going to say yes, just without relative success.
-
A little off topic here, but I am gonna go on record stating that Big Ben will never
win another championship. Same thing for Michael Vick. No way the NFL will let it happen,
and have either one of them be the poster boy for the NFL.
-a suspected/accused serial rapist, and a convicted felon, are not what the NFL wants to promote.
They have latched on to Tebow for the time being, and when he is finally exposed, Fitz will become
their poster boy again, as long as he is producing and winning. He was the man early in the season,
and as soon as his performance and wins dropped off, they dropped him like a a bad Tebow pass.
-
And I think this is a huge step forward. But it is complete garbage to pretend like the NFL wasn't a good ol' boy network for a while. It took the Rooney rule for some of these guys to get chances in the first place. The Steelers even put their money where their mouth was and hired Tomlin with basically no head coaching experience. He has turned into one of the best coaches in the NFL. Additionally, some of the best GMs happen to be African Africans (Rick Smith, Ozzie Newsome, Jerry Reese).
So pretending racism doesn't exist is completely wrong. However, a black GM firing a black coach is progress in a strange way.
Reggie Roby was amazing and he wore a watch.
All of them do, how do you think that they calculate hang time. Let's see now, one Mississippi, two....
Amzing he was.
Jerry Jones says he has had “50 concussions”
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
I can believe the 50 concussion part, and not doubting that he did, I am just totally shocked,
that he played football. I would have believed that John Clayton played before I would believe
Jerry did. I think John Clayton actually did though.
