Dude your man crush for Tannehill is slightly disturbing haha. Last year I was almost down on my knees praying that they would take Dareus and not Gabbert. I can only imagine what you'll be on your knees doing this year I kid I kid. Personally not a big fan of Tannehill but I don't mind your backing of him. If the Bills draft him I hope he turns out better than Kelly. If someone else drafts him I hope he turns out worse than Russell lol btw the comments in the article crush Tannehill. Not saying they mean much lord knows there are many posters here who have little to know football sense but they are almost exclusively negative from aggie fans

Yup my votes and reasoning exactly. Jones may be a bit divaish but aren't all receivers?

Just saw on espn he will be meeting with Alabama about their open OC spot.

Somewhere in here is a Stevie Johnson joke I just can't find it

Well thats good news Now can we have something like this happen to the Patriots

hmm interesting. I did read the story but had a way different takeaway. I guess being a Yankee fan jaded me into thinking it was just another NY media story creation.

I think the post-racial society you mention is coming. As society moves further away from segregation and an age where racism was tolerated this should improve. Jim Crow laws were only repealed in 1964. Brown v Board of Education was 1954. A good majority if not all nfl owners were born before this and lived in a time that racism was socially acceptable. So a nice kick in the pants doesn't hurt. My generation (born in 81) does not know a time when it was socially acceptable to discriminate. Mixed relationships are common place now and more importantly more accepted. However I think it is still something that some in the baby boomer generation struggle with. Sadly there will always be hate and discrimination but the more people are aware of it and the less socially acceptable it becomes the less powerful it is. Yes you are correct too it was Frazier who refused an interview.

Richardson! Tannehill! actually any qb not named luck or rg3

malarkey or malarky — n slang nonsense; rubbish I loved when he was the coach simply for the reason I could complain about "the mularkey play calling". Seriously when your name is a homonym for one that means nonsense or rubbish it does not inspire confidence lol.

Although I agree with the spirit of the Rooney Rule I'm not a huge fan of it. It seems many times teams know who they want and they have to give token interviews to satisfy the rule. It seems a waste of time for some black coaches to interview for all of these jobs they know they have no shot of getting. I hope they do as someone stated earlier use it as a learning experience. It would be nice to not need this rule and know that the best man for the job gets it regardless of race. That is when it won't be debatable whether or not racism exists in the nfl. I'm asking this question for real and not sarcastically - Since the Chiefs hired Crennel and did so after he was the interim does that change things? If you hire a black coach do you need to interview a white one? If you hire your interim regardless of race do you have to follow the Rooney rule? edit: I found the answers The rule does not apply if an assistant coach has language in his contract guaranteeing him the head coaching job in case of an opening.[5] For example, this was the case when Mike Martz took over as head coach of the St. Louis Rams before the 2000 season. Also, the rule does not apply if the assistant coach taking over the head position is a minority, as was the case with Mike Singletary and the San Francisco 49ers in late 2008.[6] As of June 15, 2009, Rooney Rule requirements now apply to all searches for senior football operations positions within the NFL, regardless of a team's title for that position. It now also includes all ethnic minorities, not just African Americans. Again back to the spirit of the rule shouldn't a white person have to be interviewed as well to promote fairness?

He had almost 1000 yards this season without Manning. Comparing the 2 teams and you called the Cowboys the inferior team?! You do realize the Colts finished with 2 wins and the #1 overall pick right?

There is racism is the nfl! http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/11/19/teammates-say-jordy-nelson-is-underestimated-because-hes-white/

I don't know about this story. The quote begins "that's a no brainer, who wouldn't want a healthy Peyton Manning?" Which leads me to believe this story is a classic out of proportion out of context story. Think about if any player on any team save for maybe NO, NE, GB, and a couple of others was asked if they wanted Peyton to be their QB. If the Bills were asked I would hope our players could recognize that a healthy Peyton is better than Fitz. Much ado about nothing imo. This story boils down to Jets player thinks Peyton is better than Sanchez which is not earth shattering.

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nfl/story/_/id/7442525/san-diego-chargers-commit-2012-season-san-diego Looks like SD is having commitment issues I seriously think this will be the team to move though as it is the easiest and most sensible move for the league. Jags, Bills, Vikings, etc would all require realignment to happen.

Not for nothing but you do realize Hue Jackson was fired by a black GM right?

I agree that he will probably join Marty wherever he ends up. That being said I don't like that they made this move. Sparano as their OC is a definite upgrade and I hate anytime the Jets get better. Sanchez at least still blows and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Sparano is an o-line coach so they may be preparing to go to more of a run based offense which would suit Sanchez better and make him appear better. I hope they ride this bum as long as possible.

He has moved up to 22 on drafttek. Also in their mock he is slotted to go higher than upshaw. He's a player for sure

I thought it was interesting in the presser Buddy was asked about stipulations in Stevie's contract and he answered by saying if he does it again we will address it. It seemed to me he assumed Stevie would be back next year.

Not me. I dont really think Tebow is an excellent qb but he does win. I will be rooting hard for him to beat the Patriots. I have no idea how one guy can make you root against the Pats*. I hate Tom Brady way more than any other player and the pats* more than any other team. It could be satan playing against the pats* and I would root for satan. Then again the deal Kraft struck with him may not allow for a fair game lol.

I prefer offense too as Tds are exciting however I don't mind watching these defenses battle it out. Big play and horrific looking injury by Alabamas d! Upshaw def looks like the real deal. I came into this game thinking Hightower might be the better player but this is a solid game by Upshaw.

I don't get why people bash the first game so much. To me it was like a pitchers duel. Do playoff baseball games bore you if they are 0-0 in the 7th? One play literally can change this game around. As for winning your conference I think the fault lies at the secs feet. Georgia was not as good as alabama but plays in the other division so they got to play in the sec joke of a championship game. These are by far the two best defenses in colleges! Whether or not they are the best two teams is moot. Even in a playoff system rarely do the top 2 teams make it in. The super bowl representatives are not always the 2 best teams. I think the bcs severely overestimated how much people would like to see this rematch. All that being said I still woul prefer a playoff purely for the excitement factor it would bring.

I didn't ever say it was easy to find someone that could do it consistently. I'm not even saying that we should replace moorman. What I am saying is its not the worst thing to improve a position or more specifically look to improve one regardless of who is currently there. Also saying they requested film doesn't say much other than this kid has nfl talent. The bills always bring in a second kicker for Tc. Looks like due diligence to me and nothing for people to be upset about.

I like to give my friend who wears his moorman jersey with pride a hard time. Moorman is quite possibly the worst coffin corner punter in the nfl! I remember 1 kick this year where he was successful at it and that's all. Normally I would not want the bills to kick a field goal from the 40 or go for it on 4th and 5 from the same distance but with moormans ability I regularly want that to happen. It may only be my perception but this is how I feel and I've seen it many many times. I'm also apparently not the only one who's noticed this. We should be looking to improve every position. I understand the point your making but would it be bad if we got better at a position?

You haven't heard anyone say lucky?!?!? Marion barber staying inbounds and then fumbling? Dude they defined luck this season. That being said I don't know if it was lucky for them that Ryan Clark couldn't play or that rapelisburger and pouncey were injured but those all contributed heavily yesterday. The steelers literally limped into the playoffs. How about some credit to the broncos d who IMO had a lot to do with how good Denver has been this year without getting any of the credit.

I agree and think most do that we need a qb I was just wondering if anything specific has been mentioned by the front office or ngu even.
