Urban Dictionary... 1. Whip When the steering wheel was first put into use in automobiles, it was called the "whip". The whip is what you used to control the horses on a stagecoach, hence the analogy. Many years later, various hip hop artists noticed that the Mercedes-Benz logo resembled a steering wheel. They then proceeded to use the old term "whip" to describe any Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The term has now been generalized to classify any expensive automobile.

Why Ralph Sold 30% Of The Bills In 2010...
papazoid replied to BiggieScooby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sal said "there's monster value in some NFL franchises" i say its the JETS......Woody Johnson has serious cash flow issues......needs to pay huge signing bonuses to key players like Revis etc...and build a winner fast for their new stadium. could just as easily be the Rams, Raiders or Chargers. -

papazoid replied to tbonehawaii's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
NO WAY !!!! along with losing the 3rd round pick...you inherit a gawdy contract of: 12/29/2005: Signed a six-year, $118.75 million contract extension through 2014. The deal included a $15 million signing bonus and a third-year option bonus of $9 million. 2011-2012: $11.5 million, 2013: $13 million, 2014: $14 million, 2015: Free Agent i don't see Palmer accepting anything but STARTER. -

Bills' Fitzpatrick Ranks Poorly Under Pressure
papazoid replied to papazoid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
first, i have been a Fitz supporter....but after reading this article, i am less impressed. this discussion has focused on Fitz "under pressure".... THERE IS ADDITIONAL DATA PROVIDED of Fitz NOT under pressure that shows poorly.... it is "Completion Percentage on Deep Throws" We broke down every pass from the 2010 season, and dropped them into numerous categories and sub categories. One of these was passes thrown longer than 20 yards. Which brings us to the point of this article. A look at who threw downfield the most and who did it most efficiently. 30 deep attempts was the qualifying mark to be considered. Fitz ranked 25th in Deep Throw Completion Percentage....even tho he had the 8th highest Deep Throw Percentage of Attempts. (this is the part where we blame his receivers....lol) http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/05/16/pressure-reveals/ then click "deep ball" -
Buffalo judge to decide fate of NFL,
papazoid replied to papazoid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But the players still have an ace up their sleeve. His name is Judge David Doty. Doty has to know that if he allows the owners to have even limited access to the $4 billion lockout fund, the players have no chance of standing up to the owners in the short run. They simply lack the funds to withstand a season without paychecks. However if Doty gives the players what they were seeking in damages -- which is as much as $2.8 billion ($707 million in compensatory damages, plus up to three times that in exemplary/punitive damages) -- it could sustain the players if there were no football in 2011.

Bills' Fitzpatrick Ranks Poorly Under Pressure
papazoid replied to papazoid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
this was already answered......but, without the benefit of game film....an arguement could be made that the "team" was usually behind in the score, bills playing catch up....the oppossing defense came hard.....and that fitz under pressure, when not seeing an open receiver.... decided that throwing the ball away (incompletion) was better than taking a sack. -

The Buffalo Bills are all in on Ryan Fitzpatrick as their quarterback for the 2011 NFL season. But the writers at ProFootballFocus.com put together an interesting study in their review of the 2010 season, revealing that Ryan Fitzpatrick is among one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the league with pressure in his face. http://wgr550.com/Bills--Fitzpatrick-Ranks-Poorly-Under-Pressure/9846589 heres the complete article: http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2011/05/16/pressure-reveals/

Would You Take 8-8 or 3-13 and the #1 Pick in '12?
papazoid replied to jwhit34's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
#1- +25 year, 4 seat season ticket fan here..... #2- i'll take whats behind door #1 Pick.....I WANT A FRANCHISE QB !!!!!!......if it takes one more crap season...i'm down with that.....last years 8-8 teams picked 16th & 17th....once i have my franchise QB, then i'd rather be 8-8. besides, i don't think we improved much, so unless we strike it rich in Free Agency, i think we still will pick in top 5 next year (looks like 3 franchise QB's coming out next year).....this years Top 3 draft picks essentially replaced 3 decent players in Stroud, Whitner and Poz.....thats not "improving" to me....it's treading water and starting over younger. -
Rashard Mendenhall loses endorsement deal
papazoid replied to papazoid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
i truly believe Mendenhall is an idiot....but i'm gonna head in a different direction...... Champion waited just three days to drop Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall as an endorser after his controversial comments about Osama bin Laden's death created a national stir. Thursday's move might have served two purposes: to disassociate the athletic apparel manufacturer from a controversy while trying to attract consumers. "I'd bet more than 99 percent of sports fans didn't even know that Rashard Mendenhall had a deal with Champion," CNBC sports business reporter Darren Rovell told NFL.com on Friday. "They did a terrible job. So distancing themselves from him in a public way allows them to make a stand and also let people think about their brand. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81fb73c7/article/analyst-championmendenhall-divorce-a-multifaceted-move?module=HP_headlines -

Pats set up to make a run at Andrew Luck
papazoid replied to papazoid's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
BAD NEWS......or good news depending on how you look at things.... According to Sports Illustrateds' 2012 Mock Draft.... the Pats will have to make a deal with the Bills if they want Andrew Luck: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/andrew_perloff/05/03/2012.mock.draft/index.html?sct=nfl_t11_a0 -
The athletic apparel company Champion has decided it no longer wants to be associated with Rashard Mendenhall, days after Mendenhall wrote on Twitter that he didn’t believe hijacked planes caused the collapse of the World Trade Center, and that people shouldn’t celebrate the death of Osama bin Laden. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/05/05/rashard-mendenhall-loses-endorsement-deal-with-champion/

How in the name of God does Phil Hansen...
papazoid replied to metzelaars_lives's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
congrats to Phil Hansen....nice player....but i have to echo the sentiments of others that feel there are several Bills more deserving.....obvious no brainers with PRO BOWLS in parenthesis.....are Cookie Gilchrist(3), Cornelius Bennett(5) and Rueben Brown(9).....other players that immediately come to mind who were better than Phil are ,Butch Byrd (5), Stew Barber (5), Ernie Warlick(4), Eric Moulds(3), James Lofton(8), Jim Dunaway (4)Bryce Paup (3), Joe Cribbs(3), Ted Washington(3), Shane Conlan(3). Recent and current Buffalo Bills with two Pro Bowls apiece are Brian Moorman, Aaron Schobel along with Takeo Spikes, Nate Odomes, Jason Peters, Howard Ballard, Sam Gash and Will Wolford. Two-time AFL All-Stars include Ron McDole, Archie Matsos, Paul Costa, Tom Janik, Wray Carlton, Henry Jacobs, and John Tracey. Phil Hansen = ZERO Pro Bowls !! -
Toronto to make a pitch for a NFL team
papazoid replied to Scrappy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
not happenning......the best toronto can hope for is a second regular season game when the NFL regular season increases to 18 games. the Bills would never allow another team in their territory. -

Tim Tebow once won a game of Connect 4 in 3 moves....
