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 don't know what happened... the fat guy got a pick."

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.

Let's say the Bills are contending for a playoff spot late in the season and Tyrod gets dinged and is out for a game or two... still feel the unknown is a better option?

Let's assume they grab a rookie QB. Now you have someone who's familiar with Dennison's offense in camp to teach your vet, your project, and your rookie QB the system. If he completely sucks or if your rookie might get swiped from the PS you cut ties. Unless you think teaching 4 QBs, including 2 rookies, from scratch is a better option, where's the downside? There's not franchise QB floating around in FA, so no one else that you bring in is going to be the answer, either.

Word on the street is it's going away... or maybe not. Regardless, Antonio could have an NFL legacy like the ?Gramaticas'... ?Gramaticas's... ?Gramatica's? Gra..ma...tica...lly incorrect however you look at it.

You don't look like Yolo?

Uh, I think your carbon dating's a bit off. When Hoover was running for president a flyer supporting his campaign proclaimed, in plain English to the best of my knowledge, "A Cromartie in every secondary and a chicken in every pot." Either that or it was "A Cromartie in every secondary and a car in every garage." It also could have been "A chicken in every pot and a Cromartie in every secondary." I suspect Antonio, who evidently lives in a rainy locale with a shortage of rain gear, misinterpreted this to mean "Any port in a storm."

Maybe they could trade Osweiler for him (while negotiating to keep his giant cap gut punch). It would be in both teams MO. Browns eat cap space; Jets add to their QB scrap pile.

I think it was meant more as reflective of Whaley's penchant for reclamation projects in players who showed some promise but had their careers derailed for whatever reason than an actual shot at the extent of McDermott's input.

So NRC and Sylve don't count, but we still have to give up 5 draft picks to make up for the negative balance?!?! There can be no joking when COMP PICKS are involved. FIRE WHALEY NOW!!

Wasn't that Hoover's campaign slogan? "A Cromartie in every secondary."

Are you suggesting that ground beef, even before it's shaped into a patty, can't be called hamburger?
