May Day 10

I have always though Murphy is bad. I like him, and his voice, but the way he calls games is poor. He doesnt paint the picture well enough and the intensity doesnt build for each play. He needs to constantly remind the down, yards to go, etc and build to the play. Then during the play he provides zero 'depth perception'. A caught pass is a caught pass and takes way too long to find out whether it was a 3 yard pass in the flat, or a 20 yard pass. He needs to describe the play better.

not sure if it has been mentioned... but does this mean no entry into Canada for the Toronto game?

The Patriots would be a huge improvement

I know he is the enemy now... but good for him. Hopefully he has the fun he wants, but also sets himself up for life after football.

Cleveland is awesome. Just went there this weekend, went to an RHCP show. Oddly, outside in the streets, after the show, "The Shout Song" was being sung very loudly. By many different groups of people. We were walking and coming up alleys were more people singing the shout song... Cleveland is actually pretty awesome. Especially the area where the Arena and Ballpark are. E 4th Street is happening, and the perimeter is also fabulous. Flannery's Pub is the best bar/restaurant I have ever been to. Went to a bar called Huron Point Tavern late night and it was also great (had calzones, pizza, deli sandwiches available in back of the bar).

Im a lot cooler with it now than I was when the Bills seemed uncommitted to winning. Not much could pop my Bills-high right now.

I can live with the one game a year as long as Mr. Wilson is alive and that is what he wishes. A new owner though, I hope that this ends. There are other ways to market up there. People up there love coming down here for games and shopping. Many make a whole weekend out of it. The media up there doesnt seem to be very respectful of Buffalo and to the Bills. That kind of drives me nuts.

I can live with one game. 2 would cross the line though.

how does revenue sharing work with this? Does Ralph just get to keep the $78 Million, and the ticket sales from Rogers gets split with the away team?

I didnt go until I was about 16. My dad was never a Bills or NFL fan though. I wouldnt bring a kid until they are like 12. Not sure how those family sections are. I would never bring a kid to an opposing stadium. Preseason games, it seems are much more family-oriented.

I was up there draft weekend. The paper was delivered to me. They had a small blurb on the 1st round of the draft. They mentioned Gilmore, but only to say that the Bills drafting him was equivalent of receiving coal in his Christmas stocking. It seems there isnt much interest other than to poop on Buffalo.

hopefully, if they have to have it.... it is a 3 year deal, one preseason game each year mandatory, and one non-division game in each of the 3 years.

I worked for the Bills when Henry was there. He and Coy Wire were 2 guys who were on the field working out nearly every day on the offseason. The guy was a workhorse. I blame a lot of this on that garbage football program they had at Tennessee as well.

Our true threat is Toronto. If the Bills are moving, they are being cultivated to go there. I was never concerned about L.A.

I wonder what goodell's 'influence' has been on this. Sounds like a 'steering' vick away from buffalo kind of deal.

I doubt he reads the board and I am sure he has learned to tune out the public. I have been a critic, but I would love for them to make a run for Wilson at the end, and have the Bills stay in Buffalo. I will help lead the charge to build a statue for him

This X a million.

I have always been a vocal critic of Wilson and Brandon. My words taste very good.

I dont know what to think... The thought had to cross your mind that we were in real life "Major League". It seemed like we were almost intentionally being turned off and long term malaise and lack of onfield success would justify a move quite well and not too many tears would be shed. I have been in the dumps about the future and it is completely different now and feels good.

we renewed a couple weeks ago and luckily grabbed a seat location with friends we have coveted for about 5 years.

that crossed my mind too. That had to have come up, right?

I have been very critical of Ralph and co. I am happy to be eating my words. I realize they are obligated to hit the salary floor... but this signing took a lot of extra effort and resources. For the first time in like 10 years I feel good about the organization. This is great.

Hurry Up! Before Littman and Overdorf return from their vacation to Hedonism II!

this is crazy. Why doesnt he get real and do the deal?

I wonder if ralph is flying in
