Billistic

Show me where there's another thread engaging the question of the lack of a collective bargaining agreement on contract negotiations... Try reading for meaning Mr. Smarty Pants.

Is this hardball a manifestation of the looming uncapped year and lockout?

Define "hating". What you see on this board is the interminably long, simmering frustration with the management and coaching of the team coming at last to a full boil. Hopes unrealized for too long. Buffalonians have a well deserved Buffalo chip on their shoulders. They have been held up to undeserved ridicule nearly forever by arrogant tools from sea to shining sea. The Bills have come to symbolize all that's becoming intolerable. I doubt it's all about football. The situation reminds me of the classic scene from the movie Network: "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!" What's not to understand? The writing is pretty much right there on the 2009 wall.

Shoe fit?

Jim Leonhard (UDFA) went from the Ravens to the Jets. Jabari Greer (UDFA) is with the Saints (ouch), Jason Peters (UDFA) is with the Eagles.

Patience, old adversary. Perhaps dear Lori can clear this up. Not too long ago, I had an entire thread deleted (containing several comments by other individuals). It's their basketball, but, to me at least, it would be nice if they would state that a post has been removed by the Administration, like on the major national sports boards.

I'm on CA time. No rush here. Might be worth straightening out. Thanks for your trouble...

You assume too much. Allow Lori answer for TBD.

Lori: I replied to the post by DazedandConfused of "today, 9:03", and The Dean clearly saw the post for the few seconds it was extant. My post stated: "You forgot the other Four Commandments.", right The Dean? Did I revise that post or did TBD delete it? Simple question, really...

also, please clear up the post that The Dean referred to above How might that one have disappeared?

Do you perhaps have a personal vendetta against me because I jokingly referred to you as a joke? Am I to forever play Mercutio to your magnificent Tybalt?

This board gives the term "virtual" a whole new meaning. Revisionist history?

Wow...how in fact do my posts get disappeared? How come you can see them and quote them, but no one else can?

You quoted a non-existent quote. wow!

1. Modrak (and whoever else of the inner circle) has essentially destroyed the Bills for the foreseeable by reaching for Losman, and then again McCargo for icing the cake. No one here will outlive that disaster. 2. Yes, but does Hangartner know all the chess openings like Fowler? 3. Granted. Winning isn't everything. ...but neither is losing, so... 4. There is no choice but to wait for Schobel to regain his preeminence, unless and until the other Aaron supplants him some year. 5. Evans - Losman - Texans - a brace of 83 yards TDs. those were the days... 6. Jason and Parker won the tug of war. Now Walker suddenly has molted into a beautiful left tackle.

Too bad the Bills didn't draft Silvio Dante and Pauli Gaultieri.

Like what? Jauron won't come out to shake Fishers hand after the game? The Titans probably can't sleep nights.

The reference was to The Dukes ludicrous fight which resulted in a unsportmanlike penalty ending a Bills scoring opportunity in week 17 against the Patriots.

It's rumored that Amelia Earhart recently visited Lackawanna. If that's true, why not?

He's just lucky it isn't turf head. That would be majorly serious for Owens.

Well, shucks...your avatar is swell too...do I get a gold star on my report card? Over Jauron's tenure, he's decidedly an abject failure, absent the outrider playoff appearance (which immediately fizzled). The guy is an embarrassment as far as running an NFL team. His only virtue is that his mediocrely-coached players like (or, in Edward's case, love) him.

Duke Preston II. I expect he'll be shoving Vince Wilfork around soon enough.

He was in for how many plays? TO's injury

There may be a subtle, yet perceptible difference between hating a team and hating how a team is being mismanaged and coached. The "love it, or leave it" crowd seems never to take their blinders off. More amusing than anything else.

A extremely predictable cadre of puffed-up, highly self-righteous autocrats presumes to ram rod their view of Bills football down everybody else's throats, and stifle any divergent views. Maybe they can...maybe they cannot. BTW, In 1921, Hitler announced, "The National Socialist Movement (better known as the Nazis) will in the future ruthlessly prevent - if necessary by force - all meetings or lectures that are likely to distract the minds of our fellow countrymen." [Heiden, Konrad, Der Fuehrer (1944) Boston, p.36]. Adolf personally lead his buddies in an attack (1921) that broke up an address by a Bavarian Federalist (an opposition political party), and had the guy beat up. The future Fuehrer served a month in jail for the assault. He told the arresting Police, "It's alright. We got what we wanted. Ballerstedt (the beating victim) did not speak." ibid I never liked Ernst Rhoem, and I don't like these guys either.
