  1. Here's a novel idea: why don't we wait on the '411' from Jauron before trashing Price for no reason.
  2. He could also be a good stop at the 'GAP' guy when the pimple-faced Mangini needs some new threads. Not entirely true...they also give ample air time to NJ's other team due to douchebag Giants shill Adam Schein.
  3. Um last time I checked, the number of posts you have doesn't qualify you as knowing the personalities of anyone on this board. LA is not a racist but is a known jokester on this board. The song mentioned the words he stated, ad nauseum. See, his suggested song title was tongue in cheek based on the redundantly stupid lyrics in that riff. Get it, HeadInTheAss? Probably not. Get to know your audience before you take your self-serving stand of righteous indignation.
  4. I was at that game...still have the ticket stub. It was in November of '95 and extremely cold, IIRC...snow flurries and something like -1 with the wind chill. It also marked the return of Marv Levy, who had missed three games because of prostate cancer surgery.
  5. He will...and maybe a little longer. The 3rd game is historically the "tuneup" game for the regular season. This will be the dress rehearsal for JP and the rest of the starters and will be the one to critique as far as performances. The final game should see the starters playing less with players on the bubble getting the majority of the playing time. In essence, this game will determine who fills out the roster.
  6. They don't have any insight into anything...at all. Period. They are two of the worst so called "experts" that I have ever seen/heard. It's amazing that they continue to be employed...but, then again, look at their employer. 'Nuff said.
  7. Yeah, right. As talented as Bush is, he's not an every down back. Deuce will, at the very least, handle the short yardage and goal line duties. Quite a two-headed monster they have down there.
  8. I'm with you 100% on this. I can't stomach the NBA and, like you, a lot of that has to do with the Braves. I'm a diehard Mets fan and have been my whole life but would have been a Buffalo fan had they had a MLB team. WRT the article above, I can't believe that any self-respecting sports writer (is there such a thing?) would spooge in his pants over the first preseason game. Wow! What a dork.
  9. I thank Eric for his contributions while in a Bills uniform. That being said, although I wish him no ill will, I couldn't care less how he does in Houston.
  10. I was at that game. My wife's father lived in Raleigh at the time and got us tickets to the game. Those Moulds TDs were spectacular! There were several other Bills fans sitting in our section. Near the end of the game some drunken a-hole Carolina fan, stumbling down the stairs, starting slurring at us to go home and that all Buffalo had was snow. Even the Carolina fans told him to sit down and shut up...nothing like shooting off your mouth when your team sucks. Jack, any idea if Sirius streams the games online? It doesn't appear as if they carry the NFL Network online and I can't seem to find any info. I don't seem to be having much success getting reception with the home docking kit. Thanks.
  11. I would take Schaub in a heartbeat but Atlanta won't be trading him. Duckett? In a word, no.
  12. 3PM (EST)...Monday, August 13th. http://nfl.viewerlink.tv/
  13. Just how the hell was he a "holdout"?! He was unsigned. Bills management is just as culpable in not signing him on time as Whitner is of not signing. That's the business end of sports and every player on the team knows that. He's signed, he's in...play him and get his feet wet, if only for a short time.
  14. You must be my long lost brother or something because I can relate to just about everything that you just described. I'm a couple of years older, born in '63...my brother in '66. My obsession with the Bills goes back as far as I can remember...either the late '60s or early '70s. In any event, the Bills were NOT a good team. My Dad is originally from Dunkirk and he's the one who got my brother and me hooked. I distinctly remember playing out on the huge grassy area in front of our apartments in Orchard Park. It was 1971 (I know because it's the only year that we lived in OP), so I was around 8 and my brother was about 5. He and I had home made "jerseys"...my Dad's old white t-shirts that swamped us when we wore them. Mine had the number 16 scrawled on the front and back, in black magic marker, along with "Shaw" on the back for QB Dennis Shaw. My brother wore number 86 with "Briscoe" for WR Marlin Briscoe (I also had an O.J. "jersey"). We'd toss the ball around in our jerseys and toy helmets with the red standing buffalo, pretending to be our on-field heroes. Like you, I also have the commerative coin from the innaugural game. I was not fortunate enough to attend but an adult neighbor gave it to me knowing that it would mean more to me than it did to him. I too have all of my ticket stubs and most, if not all, of those same art posters from the Sunday comics. My pride and joy was one of O.J. from 1974. I finally had it matted and framed in black in the early '90s...it looked awesome. I never had a place to hang it (or the other posters) and was looking forward to doing so in a room similar to the one you described (alas, VA doesn't have many basements, either). The fateful night in June 1994 forever changed how I would feel about 'The Juice'. I still have that framed poster but to this day it is hidden in the attic somewhere and has never been hung up to display. I was fortunate enough to get the card that you described when I was a kid (in a gum pack - sorry) and still have it. I didn't manage to get his rookie card until much later in time at a card show. Like you, the Chuck Knox Bills have a special place in my heart as you can see from my avatar, although all of the teams - good or bad - have a special place in my heart. This team is in my blood...something to which only Buffalo fans can relate. From "0 for the '70s" to the glory days to today, I have lived and died with each season. I wish I had been able to see those AFL Championship teams but at least my Dad has told me all about them. I don't care what outsiders say or think, I wouldn't trade my memories or being a Bills fan for anything in the world!
  15. Wow, Willis, they feel so real!! You have to tell my old lady who your doc is!
  16. Nice job and great pics! Thanks to you and all of the other camp reporters for your dedication. It really is appreciated by us out-of-towners.
  17. Careful when throwing around generalizations, lest you look foolish. I'm also from Virginia (via Grand Island) and have been a diehard Sabre fan since their inception in 1970. Quite frankly, I've lived here longer than I did up there but that doesn't mean I don't know hockey. I know you were trying to make a point to back up your argument but it was weak.
  18. Touche, Madman...but we shall meet again!
  19. Amen! Jerry Rice is painful to listen to, to be kind, and Adam Schein is an anti-Bills douchebag. It's maddening listening to his schtick.
  20. No he wouldn't. He's a "me first" player and would be a detriment to the locker room, IMHO. Plus he thinks he's a #1 WR and we have ours in Lee Evans. He wouldn't be any happier here. They won't.
