  1. 1983 - Bruce Matthews was drafted # 9. The time before that was the year before that, Mike Munchak at #8. Same team, same result, HOF career. I'd be happy if Warmack ended up here and had a similar career. Better than taking a flier on Ziggy.
  2. I really hope we stay clear of Ziggy. Maybe he had a great senior bowl but 62 tackles with 4 1/2 sacks in the WAC aren't exactly dominant numbers. Add to that he was a pretty much a man playing with boys...he's two months younger than JJ Watt. Imagine what JJ would have done in the WAC last year.

  3. Can't believe that is healthy...actually I can't believe even doing one is. While training for one my brother had a heart attack at 19.9 miles of a 20 mile training run a few years ago (he survived)
  4. I remember the Bills also thinking they had found the problem with another first round cornerback selection, JD Williams. A couple years after selecting him they found out he had bad vision and glasses were supposed to turn him into the super-star the Bills thought they had drafted with the 16th pick of the 1990 draft (after no first round pick in 1988 and no first or second round pick in 1989). Turns out he was just bad.
  5. Um...yeah, from your lot pretty much every game.
  6. Only to have it end by losing to the Steelers' second string. Still remember drinking in the Hammer lot after the game, rain coming down, listening to New Orleans drive to a winning field goal against the Jets in overtime (needed to win the game and Jets to lose to make playoffs), saying that "we could be so pumped right now." Guess it was a microcosm of the past decade. My apologies for being a buzz kill.
  7. Good read, thanks for posting it
  8. Great story....is your son still a Bills fan? Maybe we can get a few posters to chip in and buy him season tickets? (kidding, kidding. kind of)
  9. Radar O'Reilly is from Ottumwa, Iowa. Gary Burghoff is from Bristol, CT. He should be flattered people remember him for a role he played over 30 years ago.
  10. Sounds like the kind of guy Pete Carroll will take a flyer on in the second or third and end up looking like a genius.
  11. Wish we could redo the second round of the 1994 draft and pass on Bucky and Friggin' Lonnie, who were supposed to shore up the receiving corps for years.
  12. http://www.60maxpowero.com/patriots/content/top-12-bankrupt-nfl-players?utm_source=crowdignite.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=crowdignite.com Surprised about Ismail and Mcallister, not so much for the former Bills
  13. Indeed...though maybe Kyle Williams comes close
  14. Glad I wasn't the only one
  15. for those who aren't familiar http://voices.yahoo.com/the-story-lorraine-motel-memphis-14303.html
  16. Can pretty much say the same thing about any 21st century Bills coach
  17. anyone else find their eyes water watching this? maybe I'm just a sensative guy
  18. I'm thinking he was just trying to hit it back and keep the volley going, the behind the back angle sent the ball a little higher than he planned. Everyone seemed good natured about it.
  19. Barrie fire dept. is sister dept with our local VFD. They come here every St. Patrick's weekend. Based on my one weekend a year experience I must agree with your assessment.
  20. As others have pointed out, a bit optimistic but I'd be really happy with your draft. Can't see the Bills passing on Barkley if he is still there at 8.
  21. For one thing, his wife http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2013/03/27/is-fgcu-coachs-wife-and-ex-model-amanda-marcum-the-next-katherine-webb/2023927/
  22. Head, back, groin, ankle, if it isn't one thing it's another, injuries pretty much cover head to toe.
  23. I ended up with Harvard and LaSalle in a Calcutta. So far $170 back on a $35 investment. If only my 401K would have this type of payback!
  24. college football...if you don't play for your conference championship, you shouldn't be able to play for the national championship
