It is a good answer but the question was wasn't related to playing football. He's a full go for the PUP list.Yes is a good answer

Reports coming out of Toronto the Bills and Rogers Center couldn't decide on a home game that would draw more money than a Celine Dion concert so they canceled for this year.
-
Makes sense to play this one in Toronto for the Hockey Hall of Fame game.
-
Yes... and btw its 2014, about time we had a sarcasm font, no?
Been around since 2002 but no one has adopted them.

It seems to me that there has been a spike in defensive holding calls in place of calls that used to be flagged as PI. But that's just me.
Which is a joke in it's own right. They still award an automatic first down on defensive holding. Only difference is the yardage after the fact.

I understand your point for Rule #2 but it just ends up giving the refs speculation on the play. Even if you are in an I-formation or goal line for that matter, it doesn't mean you are going to run. Short of the coach appealing and showing the playbook and what the call was. I do like the idea though. Maybe it should be if it is a running play it's only 5 yards unless it's a QB scramble caused by coverage/flushed out. I think that would be more easily discernible than what looks like a running play vs a passing play.
Everyone know we run from the shotgun formation on 3 and 8.

This bit:
is interesting to me especially with Harbor Center going up and some of the recent waterfront development.
It still seems like a longshot that someone is going to come up with the $800 million being quoted as the low side in the article, but at least something is happening I guess.
Is this including how much tax payers will be on the hook for? Since we're already forking 200 million to stadium renovations I don't see covering 600 million that hard for an investment group/corp.
In all likelihood though, having politicians running this, it just sounds like a way of making money change hands easier for them.

- Passing on a guy because if his 2nd contract is something that should get a GM fired on the spot IMO
Any player the Bills take at #9 should be worth a ton by the time his contract is up, or else somebody sucks at their job!
Why does Darcy come to mind???

Also the NFL confirmed that the Bills will play 8 games this year against one of the two teams that played on said Thursday night. Also noted that once there are no more teams the bills can play following their opponents thursday night game, the bills will play on thursday and the upcoming sunday to ensure parity in the nfl.

McGahee 2.0?
Wasn't McGahee 2.0, McGahee 2.0 when we drafted him.

1 in 32 wins a Superbowl. 1 in 16 a Conference Championship, they may have cheated through to the big one, but they've certainly held their own at the top end of the conference STILL & there are 3 teams in the division banging their heads at how to out draft, out free agent & out scheme them, hoping for next year to turn around their fortunes.
It's not hard after you cheat your way to 3 super bowls and in the process make your QB untouchable during a game. You tend to get favored on and off the field.
-
pretty sure that answers your question.

let me add this. NoSaint seems to be doing a good job deciphering things here.
I understand that the pause(hmmm) is a way of thinking about it but I was more curious about how you would have fully responded.
And I agree with NoSaint, it is an awkward situation all around.
Not try to bust your balls, just wondering what you would have said after 'hmmmm'.
-
oh, man. did you just cut and paste my post without reading it?
jw
Where exactly in the post that I quoted did you say how you would have responded to the same question if it was asked to you other than saying "hmmmm"?
-
dunno. i prefer interviews that are more discussions than Q and A's. and Tim, by definition of his role as the News' blogger and columnist (which has become his Super Bowl coverage role) is provided a little more leeway. ... i might have raised my eyebrow and said, 'hmmm.'
but if EJ takes exception to that comment given the questions already raised about his status, well ... shrug.
jw
Just curious, if EJ had responded the same way to you would you have bluntly came out with "I do" or would you have formulated an answer first instead of blurting out the first thing you thought?
-
More TV which equals more $$$. It's a no brainer for the NFL.
But I thought the NFL was a non-profit organization.
-
With all that said, the problem with the interview is that TG showed a fundamenal lack of professionalism and ...tact. Ask the initial question .. "What would be your reaction if they draft a quarterback in the first round?" no problem EJ gives a fairly expected answer... "I don't know. We'll have to see if that happens. You guys think they should?"
You first must have it in order to lack it.
-
I disagree, EJ asked Graham and he responded in truth (his truth but still). I think it shows honesty above anything else. EJ needs to stop thinking that he has arrived, if he even does that, he needs to fight to become good then continue to fight to become elite.
He did ask him but it was a sucker punch that he took on EJ just to be able to write another column. I'm sure there are plenty of other players in the the league that would have walked away right after he answered, if not given it back Graham.

Staples
Cuz every team says "That was easy"
MySpace. Almost achieved greatness a while ago but now is largely forgotten.
And both Myspace and OBD had a Tom during that time that everyone hated.

Find it kinda funny that each clip with "text" is in Bills colors.
At least from the yahoo trailer.

According to ABC News, about 3,800 tickets are still available for the game. I wonder if they'll black it out if it doesn't sell out.
Ticketmaster....
I'm guessing you are being sarcastic but I can think of 3 reasons off the top of my head they wouldn't:
1. It's the super bowl
2. I don't know how it works with regular season games, but the amount of money invested into super bowl commercials would likely draw some backlash(lawsuits) from businesses.
3. PROFIT!
Although, not selling out the super bowl and not blacking out their markets would be a nice little nugget for the FCC to wave around when they blackout local games.

Don't pile on just Kiper, Mike Mayock said the same thing as well.
True, but I hate Kiper's head. Particularly his hair.

Possibility of an inch of snow in Houston tomorrow. I'm sitting in a dentist's chair now and was told the dentists' office is already closing for tomorrow.
The times I wish I lived in Houston. My boss is from Rochester and lived in VA for a while and they got about 1/2 inch of snow and it was a state of emergency. He spent his day doing donuts at the mall parking lot.

There are a lot of factors that are tough to quantify (ie he played next to Legursky & Colin Brown). Another thing to take into account is that he blocked for a QB that is said to have "slow eyes" therefore he holds the ball longer. All things being considered Glenn had a really good year & should continue to develop into a top end LT.
I understand the concept of the "slow eyes" but it really didn't look like he struggled going through his reads. I think EJ's problem was more along the lines of not taking the risk of throwing into tight coverage (but that's for another thread).
