Hell, probably show up on ESPN as a sighting

I think the organization is trying to do whatever it can to try and gain a little credibility and respect from the fans and the press. They know how much of a joke they have become, and are trying to start to change that. A show of support by Kelly and Thomas for this GM choice can't hurt.

Or ... reading far more into friendships than is reasonable. But only time will tell.

I'll get you my pretty! And your little dog too!

What the heck do they do with the tickets in cases like this anyway? Give them to employees or advertisers? Or "buy" them in name only by paying the cash but not ever getting the actual tickets?

Rochester TV reported last night that Time Warner was going to buy any remaining tickets. But I haven't heard for a fact today that it happened.

It has always astounded me how many coaches a NFL team carries. Any more and it will be a coach per player.

Dude come on. He is paid to, and wants to win. He is in professional sports at a very high level. You don't get there by trying to lose. This is Professional Football, not Professional Wrestling. I guarantee you that the draft order is not in the top 100 things on Fewells mind on Sunday. How !@#$ing hard is that to understand.

Fear not cable lady, Manning may play a quarter after all. At least that's what was being reported on the news last night So don't be late to the stands (or the TV) or you might miss him!

Like I said earlier, there was no way any WR was gong to have an impact with this offense. But I do agree with you about Evans being overpaid, but not just for this season. He would be at best, the second WR on most other NFL teams. I just happen to like his work ethic, attitude, and that you can count on him to play every game.

I hate when that happens.

It's more than just weather its quality of life in general. But thank you, I needed a good laugh this morning at work and you made me laugh out loud

But Evans is an iron man. Never misses a game and never gives up on a play. 30% more money than TO, yeah that seems about right.

My 12 year old has become a fan as well. He and his siblings started every Sunday early in the season with a breakfast of TO's (which I was sent to purchase on a regular basis), and wore his jersey as we watched the games (and LOVES the pinto tailgate!). But about half way through the season he saw that they were "not very good". He still wears the jersey and watches the games and plays as the Bills on Madden (albeit with Matthew Stafford as the QB so that he can win). But doesn't get too high or too low during the games. All in all I think he has a pretty good perspective on it.

I can respect that Like I posted in another thread, my wife will be watching on TV because of some Indy scrub that is on a reality TV show that she watches. So she will be watching while I am off doing other things. It just seems so surreal and wrong

Exactly. There was no way a WR was going to have a big on field impact with that offense. Anyone capable of looking objectively at this team could have seen that. The Bills FO may not be the best in the league, but they aren't complete morons either.

Follow Glinda's instructions ... close your eyes, tap your heels together three times and say "There's no place like home Buffalo."

The states got wise to that and now it is taxed at the source of the income.

Failed? This past season had one of the worst teams ever, and had the best season ticket sales ever. It was a complete success.

I don't need no stinkin English, I be engineer It might require wife 2.0

And I will be thinking of you nursing your sunburned ass trying to find a decent wing in south fla while I am washing my wings down with bowling ball shots in the ralph parking lot!

Probably a guy who is trying to talk his wife, who grew up in NC and currently living in Raleigh NC - and who endured Pittsburgh for 15 years and Cleveland before that, into moving from Raleigh to Buffalo. Nice restaurants as compared to Raleigh? Not hardly. And how many friends would either of them have in Buffalo? Particularly given the fact that she is basically "home" now. Again, there is considerably more to this than just what he wants (even if he did want Buffalo, which I can't believe is the case anyway). He is not desperate for a job, and I suspect their feeling is that his wife has "done her time" in the northeast. I mean no offense, but you must be single dude

Well because this is a day of opinion and speculation, here is mine. Cowher now gets to spend most of the week with his family. He goes to the TV studio Sundays where he shoots the **** with other football guys, watches whatever games he wants, then shoots the **** again with the same guys. No 100+ hour weeks, no bull **** from owners/fans/press/players/agents. And for doing this he gets paid (reportedly) more than he was making coaching the Steelers. Now if you are in Coach Cowhers shoes, do you: A) Take a job in armpit Buffalo NY, with a team that even if you are perfect with drafting and FA pickups, and get very lucky every other way, are 3 years from being anything. Just because other positions didn't pan out this year. Or B) Stay with your cushy gig one more year and keep looking for that perfect fit position. Anyone selecting A needs to put down the bong and stop drinking the bong-water.

An interesting question ... Hmmm. Baltimore, Oakland and Phoenix aren't exactly garden spots, but the weather is better. And then there is Cleveland. Buffalo is right up there though.

He should paint FU NFL this weekend.
