  1. Well the coach USC took signed a contract stating he couldn't accept a job with anyone unless the the organization IE USC put in a written request. the coach is definately in trouble. UCS/Lane Kiffin could be brought up on Tampering charges related to the contract.

     

    I would think the Titans lawyers know what they are doing and wouldn't file suit unless they had a strong case.

    Tampering???

     

    USC doesn't play in the NFL.

     

    Lame suit.

  2. Talk about missing the point! Again doc, your "set the record straight" post on Vick was your defense of him. You know it, I know it, we all know it, as does your alter ego Sisy. The only other player you've defended was Stallworth, whose crime, like Vicks', was FAR worse than anything Lynch or Hardy did. yet you're ready to convict those 2 based on virtually NO evidence. And in TO's case, it's nothing criminal, just how he treats QB's he's played with. Again I'm merely pointing out the hypocrisy. No wonder you can't see it.

    wow. I still can't find the part where I defended Vick's crime. Another fabrication to sustain your imaginary reality.

     

    These guys are right...

  3. Like I said doc, you'll believe what you want to believe. The funniest part is that every Bills player is guilty while most every non-Bills player gets the benefit of the doubt.

     

    Vick is a known pot head and had a secret compartment in his water bottle, but that couldn't have been used for that! While some septuagenarian from across her yard allegedly spots Hardy pulling a gun on dear old dad, nothing is done by the authorities, and he should be locked-up because he beat-up his girlfriend 3 years earlier? Wow.

     

    As for Lynch "stym[ying] a monthlong investigation," everyone and their mother knew he was the drive. What did you think was going to be gained by admitting he was the driver from the get-go? That the alcohol he allegedly ingested (in the bathroom) the night of the crash would magically reappear in his system? That someone, ANYONE, would magically find witnesses of him drinking that night? That the lack of incriminating text messages or phone calls to anyone for hours afterwards, would suddenly appear? That the DA would give him less than a moving violation and everyone would be satisfied with his explanation? Again it's funny that the investigative journalists at the Buffalo News were able to dig up the dirt on him bringing his own alcohol into bars, yet couldn't find ANYONE who saw him drunk those times, much less driving drunk, much much less saw him sneaking his own stuff and/or drinking that night. But hey, in your mind bringing your own alcohol screams "drunk driver!"

     

    You've shown youself doc. There is nowhere else to go with this.

    Again, the Vick stuff I agree.

     

    The cops had nothing but the old lady's complaint and a victim who wouldn't press charges. What did you expect them to do?

     

    And poor ol Marshawn. You've kept this one alive with your insistence that he could NOT have been drinking that night. You know the guy spikes his own drinks (why, do you think?). No one saw him drunk, so he could not have been driving under the influence. If you could step away, you would see how silly that position is. And, he betrayed your blind trust by getting arrested less than a year later.

     

    Look, I guess I'm just not as super a fan as you as to not support the antics of a guy who has no regard for your fan support. You and I are different like that.

     

    And trying to bolster your argument by painting me as a Vick apologist (of all things!) for correcting someone else's factually incorrect post is, as usual, pathetic. You well know my position on Vick.

     

    But hey, as others have pointed out, this is the way you make your points.

  4. You're not alone. Most didn't follow either case closely. Hardy denied there was a gun, as did his father (neither is surprising). But no one else stepped forward and the cops didn't even investigate because all they had was the word a 70-year old witness who saw what she thought was a gun, from across her yard. Even if he did pull a gun on his father, I doubt the cops would have done anything, since his father is a convicted felon and Hardy was probably telling him to get and stay out of his life once and for all. I really couldn't have cared less, because I'm not Hardy's dad. Had he pulled a gun (allegedly, or for real) on someone innocent...

     

    As for Lynch, he accepted blame for his car being the one that struck the woman, but maintained that he wasn't drunk and didn't know he hit her because of distractions that were verified by videotape of the accident. To this date, no one has come forward saying they saw him drink that night. He did admit to having the gun in the trunk of his car and got a misdemeanor, public service, and probation. But he was never charged for the pot he allegedly was smoking, so no need to address that, and to our knowledge, he's never failed a drug test.

     

     

    I don't believe that Vick was guilty of all the things he's been accused of doing, or that he's guilty in this case. I was merely needling WEO over his defense (and again it was, if you know him) of Vick, versus the contortions he's gone through to fabricate evidence against Hardy and Lynch: players on his favorite team. And he knows it.

    Huh? What?

     

    My defense of Vick? only in your weird mind.

     

    I have made no secret of my thoughts about Vick.

     

    Fabricate evidence? Nope. Lynch and Hardy both denied acts which others were witness to (the hit and run in Lynch's case). You say Hardy's criminal act doesn't count because his father's a scumbag. Yeah.....OK, because he's on your team. Oy.

     

    Lynch stymied a monthlong investigation, as did his only witness to the full night's events---because he was innocent of driving after drinking on that one nite that he hit a pedestrian---right? You make it sound like he never put a beverage to his lips that night because no one has said so.

     

    Anyway. I'm glad we agree on Vick.

  5. The cap is the ceiling, doc. As you've noted, no teams spends all of its cap room.

     

    Romo was an UDFA who was signed and developed by Parcells. He wasn't "hired." And Bryant hasn't proven anything yet, although getting signed before camp starts was a good move.

    Yet they still somehow spent "a billion more than they would have"...or something.

     

    Anyway, Romo wasn't drafted, so he was essentially "hired". I guess Jones is involved in only the Williams deals, but not the Romo ones.

  6. Given the money Jerruh throws around along with the other advantages Dallas has to offer, they'd be in better shape if Jerruh wasn't proving that Jimmy Johnson was the brains behind it all, with trades like the one for Roy Williams.

    All the money? There had been a spending cap in place for a while, doc.

     

    Yeah, Williams was a dumb pickup, but hiring Romo is looking like a pretty good move. Plus he drafted Bryant. And he's assembled the best team in the NFCE.

  7. no problem with TE staying at Stanford, no problem at all, however, choosing to stick with the sinking ship doesnt absolve him for his lack of productivity.

    So are you saying that even if the team around him truly sucked, he should be faulted for his "lack of productivity"....because he didn't transfer?

     

    And should he just picked up the phone to a top program and say "OK, I've had enough with Stanford. I'm coming next week."?

  8. I don't know about bad luck, Fingon.

     

    He drives into an apartment building while "probably texting?"

     

    He then pushes the vehicle out of the building and down the street and then abandons it to go home and sleep?

     

    Reports all of this THE NEXT DAY including admitting himself for a concussion? Promises that he will file an accident report?

     

    All this in the context of having a prior driving while intoxicated in the summer of 2007.

     

    Then this mysterious fall down two flights of steps…was alcohol or something else involved?

     

    I don't know what happened in each of these 3 separate incidents…but I personally doubt that bad luck had anything to do with any of them.

    His family will send his brain to W Virginia to get his Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy diagnosis. Everyone will then comment on the tragic nature of this violent sport.

  9. Thanks for the great dig. I love the research you did in exposing Trentative's past. I hope Gailey reads this before he announces the pecking order.

    I have read many versions of Bill Walsh's so called endorsement. Several of them were quite mild edorsements, while others seem strong...so what's the real version? Bill Walsh is not around to clarify. And hey...not all the gurus are always right. I remember Bill Cowher saying two years ago that the Bills are the team to watch. Well...we watched, & then we agonized.

    I predict TE will be #1 in the pecking order, but will be overtaken by Brohm early on...& Fitz will be the odd man out because of his inaccuracy. If we want what we always got, let's do what we've always done. If TE is our guy all season, I fear we'll just get more of the same.

    If CG changes his "pecking order" after reading Alphadawg's latest anti Edwards screed, then he needs to leave OBD.

  10. No one's surprised by this assertion. Gailey's always been a run-first coach, unfortunately he can't block for the guys who'll be logging the carries. The OL still has serious issues, namely LT and RT and that's if Wood comes back 100%.

     

    There is no team in the NFL right now winning games with a power running style. Not Carolina, not Tennessee, not Pittsburgh, and not Buffalo 2010. For all the plaudits guys like Chris Johnson and DeAngelo Williams receive, teams these days need more diversified offenses with a passing game that can keep defenses honest. Buffalo doesn't have that.

     

    Gailey will have his work cut out for him when teams stuff 8 and even 9 in the box. How he responds will be one thing, but I don't think he's got the talent in the passing game right now to succeed.

     

    Besides, I won't disappear from the board if the team begins to struggle like others do.

    Good point. Gailey's passing games in Pitt and Miami were weak.

     

    However, excepting the potential for significantly tougher AFCE, Gailey should deliver more than 7 wins with what he's got.

  11. I agree that Eric Wood is the key to this offensive line, but for a different reason: I think he should replace Hangartner at center from day one of training camp later this week, and he should remain the Bills center for the next decade or so. Anybody remember Kent Hull out here?? Wood is a natural center, and has the toughness and smarts to excell as the leader of his line. Hangartner is a little better then a journeyman, and I don't believe is strong enough to "hold his own" against the likes of Wilfork and Jenkins! Let's not forget that Chan wants a great running game to set up his attacking passing game.

    Great post! Put Wood back at center.

  12. Yes, I admittedly jumped the gun. It irks me the way fans presume to know things when they are, in fact, clueless. Myself included.

    Actually, you were making a great point, don't back away. Sure the OP was offering an opinion--so were you, as you pointed out how lame his claim that Cowher was a dirtbag for not taking the job. For some reason, the OP hasn't figured out why the job isn't attractive to top coaching candidates.
