I can see this being turned into a movie. For the sake of clarity, Dermot Mulroney, who is often mistaken for Dylan McDermott, could play the part of Sean McDermott. Dylan McDermott, who is often mistaken for Dermot Mulroney, could be cast in the role of Sean McDermott's split personality that appears when he looks in the mirror and berates his love of character, organization, and process and second guesses everything that the Dermot Mulroney personality does... almost as a metaphor for TBN. I could see this cleaning up at Sundance.

Without reading more than the headline, the fact that he took Bylsma's and Murray's firings and turned the story into his same tired story about Whaley and Pegula tells you everything you need to know about petty little ax-grinding one-trick pony Jerry. Was there even any reason for Whaley to be in the news today?

I have my reservations. He hasn't won a single game as a head coach. As we all know in order to win we need players and we need winning. WHERE'S THE WINNING?

Sooo... you're saying they're gonna be tight for the bye week?

I would have assumed by your post count you would have known, but I guess not... Genius like this shouldn't be wasted in response to an OP, genius like this deserves its own thread. Now hop to it, my good man.

I'm tired of the NFL disrespecting Buffalo football fans. All of our home games are Bills games. In a 16 game schedule you think they could at least give us one game that involves two teams with something to play for? Clevelanders must really be pissed.

Spelling wasn't the issue... word selection and grammar, on the other hand, not so stellar. This thread would be so much more interesting if we could just make it about Legion. Season 1 was an entertaining bit of mind%#&kery.

Maybe the Bills could hire Chicago airport security and have United sponsor their pressers...

You pointed out that the Bills are 60 games under 0.500 for their existence. Since 1999, when the current iteration of the Browns came in to existence, they are 88-200. IN 18 YEARS THEY'RE 112 GAMES UNDER 0.500. How is this not a laughingstock tradition? Since their re-inception they've been an unmitigated disaster.

Yes, but the team formerly known as the Browns won a SB the year after the current team was established, only 4 years after relocating. The current Browns are an expansion team that joined the league in 1999.

Probably worried that the urinal talker was gonna stalk him and steal the Cutlet's breast milk.

Time to get on the horn with "Quick Kick" Quincy's agent.

I'd be ok with Flutie if he was out front of an actual stampede of Buffalo... Surprised no love for Mr. Clutch, Ronnie Harmon.

Felser was a gentleman, and even when he was being critical it felt like the team was being scolded by a grandfather. He seemed to genuinely care about the teams and PEOPLE he covered. You could hear it in the anecdotes he was fond of telling, often about off-field interaction with players, coaches, front office, and Ralph. My favorite comparison is Jim Kelley. He spoke his mind, could be tough and confrontational and take the Sabres to task while still maintaining (at least the appearance) of respect, gave credit when due, was an excellent writer, and most of all stood by his integrity. The last bit is the part I miss the most. IMO Graham and Carrucci used to have that before the current era of non-edited internet news.

Nothing shuts them up. Sullivan was the same insufferable prick in the 90s when the team was winning that he is now, but because the team was winning it was less noticeable. Unfortunately public consumption of his type of schtick has increased in demand and the team has sucked for an eternity leading to every columnist adopting this approach, resulting in a game of muckraking oneupsmanship that provides little to no insight about Buffalo sports and is therefore of minimal, if any, value, IMO.

What they do now is unconstructively B word with the delusion that they have some special insight... like a reality TV "Housewife." I guess sophomoric name calling and hair pulling over who's right and who's stupid just doesn't amuse me as much as it does some. I'm not a fan of rewarding bad behavior carried on for the sole purpose of getting attention.

Yes, but without once again thrashing the rotting bones of this old mare we would have been deprived of this wonderful bit of allusion. Thanks!

Some of them. As long as their gloves and skates are off most of them can at least get to twenty. Not like that there former Ivy League quarterback. Story goes he could get all the way to forty-eight before he started having trouble.

Somehow I think it is less naïveté and more ax to grind. Rex talked to the press. Pegula and Whaley have publicly exhibited their disdain for local media. IMO, in response the media has adopted an "eviscerate you in fiction", or at least in half-truths and petty attacks, approach to their interactions with DW and TP, and to a lesser extent even KP. So much so that, at the time of his firing, they were trying to paint Rex as a sympathetic figure whose firing was a sign of the dysfunction at OBD, instead of the more realistic and obvious view that his presence was in large part responsible for it, supported by the mess he left in NYC.

Huh... and all this time I thought QBs rushing yards and TDs were factored into that. Guess I was mistaken.

If they get caught, do they serve only 74% of the sentence if they do the time in the US?

You're kinder than I am. In this scenario I may treat him as he treated his coaching opportunity with the Bills. Depends on where it happens and what the fines for public defecation are in that locale.

Separate thread for that... http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/193115-bills-working-out-fa-cb-marcus-cromartie/?view=getnewpost

Your plan, to me anyway, suggests you don't think the Bills have a chance in hell of competing this year. If you're the Browns and you don't expect to compete for several seasons your plan makes some sense. If you think you're going to field a competitive team, which the moves the FO has made in the offseason thus far would suggest that is their belief, then going in to the season without a known quantity as a backup QB is not a good plan. Yates doesn't stop them from drafting a QB and putting either Jones or the rookie on the PS. It also doesn't stop them from moving Yates to #3 or cutting him if, hallelujah, either Jones or the rookie looks like a legitimate QB. Developing 3 unknowns in one offseason isn't likely to succeed, and is probably more likely to guarantee the failure of all 3.
