What the hell was this front office thinking? Were they all sitting around in a circle? Jerks. They go and use up valuable cap space that could be used to sign castoff DBs on what? A player that if he's upright for more than 4 hours you need to call the doctor? That's it! I give up! Kidding! Way to go weird fat kid from Bad Santa!

Actually, Real Thing was in the '80s. Angel Dust didn't drop until '92.

I'm not debating the message you're trying to send. I buy it. I do find it funny, however, that you use a perennial Super Bowl contender as an example and, while their record that year was impressive, fail to note it was also the only year since 2001 - 2002 that they didn't make the playoffs... DOOOOOMED!!!

It's pretty safe to assume you have a limited understanding of CTE.

You may want to read to the end of my post... It was only another sentence or two.

Or it is an indication that they'd like to get their WRs some work the last week of pre-season, and last game of the preseason, without burning out the arm of the only healthy QB on the team... Look at the names they're bringing in. They're nothing more than warm bodies. I think the NFL would frown on rolling an actual Jugs machine onto the field Thursday, so instead they're looking to sign the equivalent.

All this innuendo... Whaley seems to be a stand up guy of good moral fiber. Why is everyone so convinced that he pays to extend Wood? It's not like he's been caught in public Pettine the Johnson or anything. The way people are going on, you'd think someone had pictures of him showing his Tuel to the Young. He never gave me the impression that when no one's looking he Rogers the neighbor's Byrd. As far as I'm concerned, as long as it's legal and no one gets hurt, whatever he does with his Kolb in his free time is his Choice.

Kaepernick was drafted in 2011. For some reason (not faulting you, as it seems to be widespread, including many media outlets), people like to think last year was his rookie year.

I'm Ron Burgundy?

Looking at this in a different light, calling for Tuel over EJ could be a subconscious acknowlegment by that contingent of fans who always wants the backup to play that Manuel is, or should be, the undisputed starter (at least in their mind... you know, as they're calling for the backup to play... did I just walk in a circle?).

Speak for yourself. I say, cut EJ and Kolb right now and let Tuel fight it out with the other longshot saviours of training camps past, Levi Brown and Brian Brohm.

IIRC, as early as last offseason there were rumblings that Levitre had intended to test the market. I think Byrd may have as well. It's much easier to extend players like Kelsay who already realize the market isn't likely to yield more than what they're being extended for. Not the case here. Apples and oranges. Players won't be interested in a Bills' hometown discount until they're good enough to contend for a ring. As much as it sucks as a fan of a football team, it's what almost anyone would do in their situation.

Uhh... not really what I had in mind. Now this on the other hand... What was that old saying about wanting something done right?

I see this more as a last year/this year first rd QB showcase to drum up interest and ratings in preseason. EJ has been getting some national attention, so there's already some interest. Granted, RG III may not play, but not everyone who tunes in would know this ahead of time.

I opened this thread hoping to see a scantily clad hot chick lying across the hood of a Ferrari.

If we has tanked LAST season for Luck, that would have shown a serious lack of judgement since he was already in the league at that point, playing for the team that employed that approach the season before.

How is this even a question? The new face of TBD: THE CHROISE!!!

Kendall Gaskins makes the team, and in the season opener he meets Spikes in the hole and elbows him so hard in the head that it comes clean off Brandon's shoulders and rolls across the field leaving a bloody wake. Gaskins then taunts Spikes' lifeless body as they haul it off the field. Normally one to frown on such antics, in this instance I somehow find it in my heart to look the other way... and when no one is looking, I even smile to myself a little in the face of this "tragedy" as I feel an unexpected sense of justice and satisfaction.

DUDE, did you put Tiger Balm in my jock?!?! Man, I would never... okay, maybe a little bit.

Easy to forget how good we had it. Kelley was a perfect example of someone who could cover a team in good times and bad, and was not afraid to deliver criticism, sometimes pointedly and vehemently, but had the credibility to back it up. He was also a talented writer, the likes of which is unfortunately quickly becoming extinct in this "instant gratification" society we live in.

I think you have to have a soul to shed tears. It probably started to rain, his face got wet, and the imbecile thought he was crying. Was it a clumsy reference to MW's Instagram of Hernandez? http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2013/06/mario-williams-mocks-aaron-hernandezs-love-of-guns-via-instagram-photo/

The interesting thing about this piece is the degree of inside information. Given everything that has happened over the last several weeks, all of the useful information has been from non-local sources, while all of the tabloid pieces have been TBN and the like. Anyone else get the feeling that the locals have bitten the hand that feeds one too many times, and some of their testiness is a reflection of their dwindling access? You could put Marrone's "blowup (hardly)" in the context of one final shot across the bow.

I just saw Jerry Sullivan crying like a little schoolgirl after Mario gave him an atomic wedgie as coach Marrone pointed and laughed!! Who's the drama king now, BEEOTCH!!

That's too bad. Haynesworth and Suh were looking forward to endorsement deals.
