Chan Gailey

There is actually some logic to it. Think about it, what has Chan Gailey got to lose at this point in his career?

He probably has to produce something. And lets face it, there hasn't been a lot of fact being disseminated by OBD lately. So he speculates just like everyone else. Believe him or don't, but he is guessing just as much as anyone else.

I see your point, but I feel you are leaping to the assumption that there are 3 candidates from this weekends losers that want the job. Maybe there are, who knows. But based on what has happened thus far in the Bills search I can't imagine Leslie losing much sleep over his team heading for a potential superbowl and the Bills signing a coordinator from this past weekends losers.

Lower ticket prices and free beer? Count me in.

As it has turned out, clearly they would have. However can you imagine the outrage of the Bills fans if they had hired Fewell? Even if they felt Fewell was the right choice, they had no option but to pass him over.

Never seen it analyzed, but it almost has to be less than 11 minutes. Probably far less. But you should look the other way too. Hockey and soccer would be much more than 11 minutes. And although they are second tier sports in the US, they are not in the rest of the world. The great thing about football and baseball is they lend themselves beautifully to commercial television. Not true of either hockey or soccer.

Yeah, his team going deep into the playoffs makes him less desirable to other teams and more likely to be let go by his current team, and therefore he is sweating about the job that (so far at least) no one has shown any interest in. Yeah, that's the ticket!

As depressing as all the doom and gloom threads can be about how much the Bills suck, or Buffalo sucks, or the Bills and Buffalo both suck, these "no-lose" threads are equally as depressing as it shows Bills fans losing touch with reality in my opinion. If it truly were a no-lose situation, current coordinators would not only be accepting interviews, they would be begging for them. And top tier candidates would be lobbying for the position instead of what we are seeing. These people are not ALL idiots after all.

I mostly disagree with what the writer says. But he still manages to take a shot at the Bills ...

I suspect by showing the commercials they got a lot more money donated than would have been given as cash. It was probably the smart thing to do, and the NFL got some good PR out of it as well. Everybody wins.

I'm with you. This is a professional sports contest. If you can stop them, then stop them. If you can't, then take it like a man and don't cry like a whiny little B word about it. Was Dallas laying down and conceding the game before that? Hell no. So there was no reason for the Vikings to. After that score Dallas did the smart thing and ran out the clock.

I love the chess match argument every time I hear it. A chess match played by guys who mostly do not have the intelligence to graduate high school if it wasn't for sports bias in the schools. For continuous action I prefer hockey or soccer to table tennis myself. American football is what it is, a sport with small bursts of action over a long period of time. Along the lines of the other favorite American sport, baseball. This is the kind of sport Americans traditionally enjoy. No reason to apologize for that or rationalize it by trying to relate it to a game that takes a lot of intelligence like chess. It is a mega commercial success in the United States and has been for a long time. Hockey is more popular than American football worldwide, and obviously soccer is by far the most popular sport in the world. But in the US, American football is number one and I think will be for a long time to come. And no study showing how little action there actually is will change that.

Below his name it said "representing the Philadelphia Eagles". WTF, even PPK kids dissing the Bills now

So Schumer has control over the NFL and can make them keep the franchise in NY even if the NFL owners (who actually have the power to decide) wants otherwise? Dude, think before you post. That is just nonsense. At best he can make some noise and try to drum up some local buyers to make a run at the team. There is way more too it than purchase price of the team.

between the better team and the worse team ... that better?

To find out who is the best team. You do not find that out if the game is played in ****ty weather. At least in my opinion. In bad weather it's a crap shoot.

Probably not a popular opinion for a Bills fan, but I don't think a playoff game should be decided by weather. All bad weather does is level the playing field between the good team and the bad team. The good team cannot execute and the bad team couldn't execute to begin with, so no harm. Call me old fashioned, but particularly in the playoffs I believe the best team should win.

Long live the Queen!

My first spelling correction post, but this one was too good to pass up. It's actually "prima donnas".

If it was the girl in your avatar I wouldn't mind so much.

Absolutely correct. But the Bills currently being a national laughing stock has the hard core Billievers very defensive. They truly cannot understand why anyone would not jump at the chance to coach the Bills. And they are very frustrated. Anyone turning down the Bills, fact or some "reporters" inside information, is met with anger.

ESPN = Entertainment and Sports Programming Network What gave you the idea that is was a news network? Even true news networks do this kind of thing to much more serious situations.

You forgot to offer getting on your knees in front of him every day that he coaches the Bills. Man the begging is hitting embarrassing new heights.

So you agree with him, but feel the need to give him a ration of **** because he is older than you? A new level or ridiculousness may have just been achieved on this board! My congratulations, that wasn't easy to accomplish.
