Nothing, really. It's not so much Roski as his proposal, which is already approved and uses no public $$. All prior stadium proposals in LA have failed to get very far, even with involvement of such monied interests as Eli Broad and Michael Ovitz. That Roski is proposing a privately financed facility -- one that already has been approved by City of Industry council and voters -- means that he's already most of the way there. Plus, he built our Staples Center (where the Lakers and Kings play), so he's done it before.
Perhaps I'm being too optimistic. I've been known to suffer from that fatal flaw, esp. as concerns NFL football in LA.....
I guess Ossining, NY is a big time town too, as it is within 30 miles of over 10 million people.
City of Industry has 831 inhabitants who happily voted to have a huge stadium built on their large weed mound.
He's "most of the way there", eh? Except for the financing. Quite simply, neither Roski nor anyone else has that kind of money. Roski's fortune is tied to that of the commercial real estate market in LA (OOPS!). So in order to raise $800 mil to a billion, he need's partners or investors/lenders and no one is going to give Ed this kind of money on spec. They will want to know which team, exactly, is moving to LA, and when, before they give him that kind of dough.
But let's say he builds the stadium with private money. How does he get his money back? How does he service his loan? By charging his new NFL tenant $50 million a year in rent? Great plan!
So, no team, no stadium. Oh, also, no stadium, no team----pretty much the NFL in LA situation for the last 15 years, in a nutshell.

The best WR in the NFL is Calvin Johnson. And while TO isn't the best, I'll take his "paltry" production any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
Look, maybe you meant Andre Johnson. You might make an argument there. Calvin??? Some day maybe.
Why would you describe TO's numbers as paltry?
-
but Jauron has to at least be middle of the pack don't you think?
Wow. Are you Russ Brandon?

Didn't LA have a new stadium proposal up for a vote? Seems like this is all playing perfectly for that buyer.
There is no stadium. There is no buyer.
Some desolate LA outskirt called City of Industry voted to approve of "plans" for the building of a stadium. Since then, they have been sued by two neighboring towns who don't want a stadium nearby. One of the suits resulted in $20 million in hush money for one town. The other town is awaiting its windfall from City of Industry.
Yup, things are going great for the "LA stadium project".
Also, no teams "are in danger of losing their team due to inheritance taxes", except those with a sole owner approaching death with no plans on selling the team premortem.

We couldn't even get to Cassel last year. Now we're going to injure Brady?
-
They should raffle off the rights to house T.O. with all the proceeds going to charity.
the first raffle ticket that meets T.O.'s requirements gets to have the best WR in the NFL stay with them for free.
Ok, so that takes care of Fitzgerald, but where does TO stay?
-
Good luck finding a buyer, "Chip".
-
It was obvious from early on that he didn't want to sign before the draft for obvious reasons.
Sign what? One of the non-existent offers he was getting in that dream you were having?
-
It's normal for players to do this. TC and the season are so physically demanding that a lot of players lose weight and fall below their optimal size.
The DJs training camps have the reputation of being anything but demanding. That's no the way he does it.
Why on earth would the press continue with the inane questions unless they were simply enjoying recording ML's language mangling speech?
Awyeah, mos def'lee, mos def'lee.

I also know what I see when I watch games (especially these days with the aid of a DVR) and again, I implore a Pats fan to give me just one example of them losing on a controversial call or non-call late in a game, 'cuz I've got a whole bunch in the other direction.
Go back to your DVR'd copy of the Giants-Pats and count the holding noncalls as the refs just "let them play" and the typical non-nimble Eli Manning somehow manages to get away from the Pats swarming D long enough to throw the greatest pass/catch in SB history. So you see, the Commish gave it to BB right in the heiney at the exact time that would produce the most pain for the Pats. It was an awesome way for the League to punish them---let them go 18-0 and take away the SB in a most painful manner. The Commish is wise, stop your crying.
Wait, your evidence is Jimmy Johnson and what he claims he heard others did 17 years ago, and what he believes is happening now, without naming names, any other teams being implicated, or anyone else corroborating his claims? That might work for mouth-breathers like Mr. WEO, but it's proof of nothing. Oh and Johnson and Belichick are fishing buddies, which speaks to his credibility.Actually, if you bothered to read the interview, he did name names: Obviously Dallas; Schottenheimer and Hatley from the Chiefs; and Howard Mudd, from the Chiefs to, interestingly, the Colts. Notice after a career of futility against the Pats for Manning and Slow Tony Dungy, including 2 playoff losses, the Colts, after trailing 21-6 at the half of the 2006 AFCG, come out of the lockeroom and suddenly rattle off 32 2nd half points to edge the PAts. Nothing suspicious there. Mudd's back with the Colts now.
So you are now saying that JJ would willfully tarnish his own reputation and place the championships of his Dallas teams in question....because he is "fishing buddies" with another HC??
Wow. This is primo stuff.
-
That's why other coaches did it, too.
Ouch!
You are shoveling against the tide with these morons, Tim. To even mention the obvious sends them into insanity.
The irony is that they all keep moaning over all the coverage of the Pats, yet they can't stop posting about.....all the coverage of the Pats!

i know, i know.. there is another thread, but it doesn't mention that it was 50 yards in the air. I thought it was physically impossible for his noodle to launch anything that far.

Maybe it's time you let go of your negative clihes concerning our starting QB and started talking him up a bit.

There is also some slight difference in talent and experience between Martz and Schonert,
/quote]
Really? "Some slight difference in talent"?
Martz created that high risk high reward offense. Schonert is a no talent.
Don't see why we should have to gamble with inexperieced/poor coaching after such an investment in the offense.
Make the call, Russ.
-
Shonert realizes how explosive Parish is,
As others have pointed out, at WR, he's just not.
He gets bullied at the line and after he catches the ball, he doesn't get very far before being plastered.
We are deep enough at WR to not be wasting tosses to Parrish.
-
You must have thought TO signed with N.E.* Orchard Park is MUCH NICER than Foxboro.
Really? Because of the close proximity to ECC? Do folks in Foxboro subsidize their income by having people park thair cars on their lawns?
There are nicer areas IN the city of Buffalo than OP.

The only thing you made clear with that post is that you dont know anything about football if you believe that to be true. Why do all the DJ blamers over look the fact that Trent went for 3 TD's and 10 Turnovers in his 4 divisional games? Why do they forget JP had a QB rating in the 50's in his two divisional games? Why do you ignore that Trent had 6 HORRIBLE, not even sort of bad, but flat out horrible games in his last 8 of the season?
Trent finished poorly overall, but what you keep ignoring (the pain over your personal loss is still overwhelming, isn't it? Let him go.) is that, after the nightmarish 1st Q in CLE, he played the rest of the season (19 Q's) with only 1 turnover and 3 sacks. Which is something.
You think some rookie HC was going to change that using a new system? About as dumb of a statement as I have seen on here.Really? Anyway...John Harbaugh, Mike Smith, Tony Sparano were "Some rookie HCs" who changed their teams with a "new system".
Like someone else mentioned, BEFORE Brady, BB in NE had a very similar record to DJ, in fact DJ has a slightly higher win % over those 8 years as BB had in his 8 years pre Brady. A QB will either KILL your coach or make him a HERO...DJ has never once, not one single season, ever had a QB.2006? No?

Take him in a second.
Those who say they don't want him would be the first to tell the world how the media has been cruel to Wilfork, blown everything out of proportion, etc.

<Mr. WEO>
Why the heck can you not admit that the patriots are a better team and they never cheated and you are a jealous, petty, sniveling, homophobic, sad, sad little man?
</Mr. WEO>
Just to clarify:
Even a guy with your abilities should see that the Pats are a better team than the Bills. In fact, I think that's probably a consensus opinion outside of this site.
Never said they didn't cheat or break the rules. You had to make that one up to prop your point.
"you are a jealous, petty, sniveling, homophobic, sad, sad little man"--that part you managed to get correct: a bit of self reflection for you.
You should probably stick with "suck an egg"---it's really your best stuff. Trust me.
-
I have a great idea. TO should buy a house near the Stadium, fix it up REAL NICE...............................& donate it to a worthy charity when he leaves Buffalo. He not only could afford it, but could probably use the Tax write off.
Fix it up? You mean, like, pushing the RV and the abandoned cars off the front lawn?
He should just write off the hotel room.
-
Why should that really bother anybody?
If he plays poorly, so what? It has no impact on anyone than his current team's fans. If he plays well, what is there ot beef about?
Kiss the ring, Fran.
-
I'm sure your fellow Patriots* fans aren't talking much about Paris Lenon. That, pally, is the definition of a "JAG."
I don't get it. But did it make you feel better?
-
This is the 13th different thread dedicated to this JAG.
-
I think this may be the best line the Bills have had in years. True, we don't know this yet, but
...but why not say it anyway?!
-
I would have to say....... TO. It took 13 years and a move to Buffalo before anyone to realized he is actually better than Jerry Rice.
Largent?? He played in 7 Pro Bowls, was named to the all 1980's NFL team, he retired as the best WR in history, holding all major records at his position and is in the HOF.
Herman Moore is also a good choice.

Not sure how having 3 RBs on the roster changes the "Put an extra guy in the box and it stops their running game". Will they all be in the backfield at the same time?
Here's an interesting bit:
Everybody wants to rank a pecking order of Bills receivers, but Owens said that's not important.
"I don't really speculate on any of that," he said when asked, as the new guy, if he's deferring to Evans. "I just come out here and do my job. I don't worry about who is No. 1, No. 2 or none of that stuff. I'll leave that guesswork up to you guys."
Prior to the 2007 season:
T.O.: 'We are going to make this a happy season'
"It is frustrating because I want to win and I am a competitor," Owens said. "I know my role on this team and that is to make plays and when I am not making plays and I am not having success, then you know, I am not having fun."
Owens has just one touchdown in his last four games and has yet to register a 100-yard receiving game this season. He wants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to change that in Washington.
"There are a number of things that the offensive coordinator has to do to get me involved," the Pro Bowl receiver said. "We can go back to the drawing board and look at the things that made me successful last year, moving me around a little bit and really just making it an effort to get me the ball in certain routes. There are some things that we are working on, and I think the second half of the season is looking promising for us."
Yeah, he doesn't worry about who number one is.
