Sometimes violence stems from boredom. Crackers get bored and killing can be a nice distraction.

Retirement? I will be working the day I die.

You know what Cat, I think we are pretty much on the same page. I can't say if BR raped this girl but at the very least he made some poor choices. Poor choices don't prove rape but they suggest bad guy.

This DTF necklace is a reference to the movie "Superbad", it is not proof of being a slut or a floozie. The 28 year old professional athlete should have told the 19 and 20 year old girls to beat it when they told him their age. Instead, he bought them drinks and made a point to seperate one of them away from her friends. The underage girl was obviously intoxicated but Ben was sober enough to realize he needed to keep the friends away.

She might be a floozie, who knows? A drunk 20 year old floozie out with her college friends, shouldn't mean game on, to a 28 year old pro football player and his entourage. Nevermind the fact that the 28 year old has been accused before.

Dude you and the Big Cat must live sheltered girl free lives! If you go out anywhere that caters to young people, you will find this sort of thing. NEWSFLASH: college girls are immature and will do alot of overtly sexual things to gain attention. Bachlorette parties and Mardis Gras chicks would really suprise you and the Big Cat.

I gotta call horse **** on this one Big Cat. I can't understand for the life of me how a guy as experienced as you, wouldn't understand that sorority girls often do immature sexual things in nature to gain attention and cheap laughs. BR most certainly can get more tail than you or I but that has nothing to do with this specific instance. Save your "don't hate the player, hate the game" crap, it's an incredibly immature way of looking at this. Someone my age, shouldn't be buying drinks for a known minor and cordoning off an area from her friends with a line bodyguards. Who knows if it's out right rape but it is certainly scum baggery at a high level and his actions were deplorable.

Have you ever been anywhere near a 20 year old sorority girl that has been drinking with friends? The whole DTF necklace thing was a stupid college joke that the girl got for her birthday from another sorority girl. What the hell does your math tell you? Personally, I'm almost the same age as Ben and I'd see an immature kid, not a target.

FWIW, BR asked the girls how old they were before he started getting them loaded and they admitted to being underage.

Very good point Tomcat but now I can't lay into Schobel. ........ is Donte Whitner ever going to shut up and make a play?

Your committment towards nonsense and negativity makes you one of the weakest posters on the board. The complete lack of responses you get, should be a good indication of how interesting people find your schtick. Nothing wrong with being skeptical but you might get more enjoyment from this site if you back off the boring potshots. BillsVet is completely disgusted with the Bills but often gets involved in good interaction.

This perspective makes some sense, BillsVet. I can't give you an answer on what happens to the team over the next 5 years. I get more enjoyment as a fan, if I envision the Bills staying in Buffalo for the longterm. Whether that happens or not, you could make an argument that the actions of the team support both possibilities. If you believe the team is staying in Buffalo, it's a full blown rebuild. The Nix plan makes sense if this is the case. If you believe the team is leaving Buffalo, it's called not committing heavy resources towards a product that will be sold soon. Personally, i think they are sticking around long enough for a traditional rebuild.

The majority of the posters here know who Dwan Edwards and Andra Davis are. If you haven't heard those names before then I'm guessing only a couple of the FAs available would have satisfied you.

I listen to the radio all day at work and every show has it's good days and bad days. They all get repetitive after awhile but I don't really hate any of them.

Now we know the Church's stance on priapism.

Good luck YE OLE, things have a way of working themselves out my friend.

I don't know what to tell you BillsVet. You can't just demand an immediate winner from a new staff that, as you pointed out, is inheriting a roster that is a mess. The fans who are mentioning 3 years are just being realistic given the circumstances.

Buddy Nix can't be held accountable for what his predecessors did. He's here to do a job and marketing is not his department. I understand the frustration many have for the Bills right now but the last decades of futility can't dictate the direction the team moves in. I'm not giving my stamp of approval to the Bills yet but I do believe in what Nix has said. His general layout is not the only way to build a team but it's the best. Longterm success comes from strong drafting and player development. Just following the model most definately doesn't guarantee winning but nothing is a guarantee. So far Nix has at least done what he said and was truthful with the fans. Let's hope he executes the plan, as well as he speaks it.

What teams cleaned up in FA this offseason? You act as if the Bills just looked the other way as other teams loaded their rosters. The Bills were in no position to overpay for one of the few really good FAs. It wouldn't have made a lick of difference going into this season and takes playing time away from younger players. The best teams in the league are made up of players they drafted and developed.

The Bills did fill a few holes with FAs. They weren't splashy names but a couple good football players that fit our new schemes.

The formula I posted is no revelation to even the casual fan. Buddy Nix is just one of many NFL minds that have publicly laid it out for us. It might have faltered for Marv and Company but alot of things have failed over the years. Your questions: 1. What is a reasonable amount of time for us to notice positive results? Positive results should be seen in year two, IMO. A team should be a playoff contender by year 3. 2. How much more built does the FO have to be? I think it's all set, but we all knew that. 3. Should we wait a year for each phase of the process, laid out by you, to see results? Each phase of the process doesn't take a year but we all knew that. The process was laid out by Buddy Nix and I was just repeating it for the impatient. The process must go in order, if thats what you are asking. 4. Some franchises manage to do two things in one offseason and at least on occasion net quicker results. I didn't know the results for the 2010 season were in already? Just because you didn't recognize the names of the players the Bills brought in this offseason doesn't mean it wasn't an effective FA period. Who were you hoping for? The team has accomplished more than two things this offseason, but we all knew that.

Apparently he is playing possum.

I completely agree. These D-bags represent the stupid mentality of people today. How cool would it have been to mix it up with Jerry Jones and get genuine interaction with him? I agree with Dean, his honesty was refreshing. It's too bad the world is full of asswipes looking to exploit everything in their path. Kudos to Jerry for being approachable and real. It's easy to see why so many other celebs aren't.

1. Build FO up 2. Put together coaching staff and schemes 3. Assess talent on team 4. Build through the draft 5 Play young talent in new schemes .....and once above is accomplished 6.Aquire FA talent to compliment the core of your team The Bills haven't been able to follow the formula over the last ten years. Who cares what the Phins and Jests are doing?

The Jets look stacked right now. 1. Dominating O-line that is especially good at run blocking. 2. NASTY defense that adds Kris Jenkins and Cromartie. 3. Hugely talented receiving group that consists of Edwards, Cotchery, Holmes, and Keller. This group could hang with any group of receivers in the league. 4. Head Coach that the players love and play hard for. Good coaching staff as a whole 5. Good mix of RBs even without Thomas Jones. Shonn Greene should be the workhorse and he showed the ability to be really good last year. LT and Leon Washington are versatile compliments to his power. 6. The team is full of leaders and guys that hold other players accountable 7. Big game experience 8. Draft picks still intact ...... IMO Sanchez only needs to progress a moderate amount and this team runs away with the division. Provided they stay somewhat healthy of course.
