When did Sheryl Crow become a lunch lady?!?! I bet Lance is to blame.

I know Manning deserves it but his WR corp is sick. Rivers' is patchwork and his top 2 WRs got hurt at the beginning of the year. I feel like he has worked with less.Not that it is criteria for MVP, but that is just how I look at it sometimes.
Brady, Rivers and Romo all had MVP years, IMO. Manning just had an ultra-MVP year. Rivers and Brady had far less talent to work with and Romo had no O-line. Manning's situation was perfect. But he still had to make the throws and he did.

This is pretty damn funny. But Royals ain't got **** on Roar or Wrecking Ball. My two favorite songs right now.
Can't stand "Roar," but "Wrecking Ball," has officially grown on me.
She absolutely killed it at the Dick Clark's NYE Special. I'm rooting for Miley Cyrus like I did for Britney Spears when she kind of lost her way. Yes ... the antics have boosted her popularity and likely her sales ... but she's got enough talent to do it the old fashioned way ... by being really good.
Anyway, I think it's a great tune; as is Royals.

My comments in red. The ones that I left out are the ones I agree with completely.
1. Make Fred the number one back. Period. None of this time share with CJ.. None of this coming out when I want to business. If the Bills want to make the playoffs next year. The better ride Fred. He got another 2 yrs left I believe. He is a much better running back when he get between 17 -25 carries a game. So make it an 80-20 split between him and C.J. - Two worries; Fred's age/durability and Spiller's attitude following demotion. But I agree .. Fred is the better back.
2. Make C.J. more WR than RB. Yes WR. He can't seem to find space to run threw so put him in space to start. Bring him back on some reverses and quick out, slants to him. This is maybe the best way to use him. - They just need to do two things: a) Go back and learn how Gailey used Spiller and b) watch how New Orleans uses Sproles.
5. Throw deep to Goodwin at least 3 or 4 times a GAME. - I'd generalize this more as, "take more shots down the field." We need to start moving the chains via big plays and PI calls like every other team in the league does (against us, primarily).
6. Throw to Chandler less, throw to C.J. more., alot more, as in at least 50 catches. - I'm still hanging on as a Chandler fan. But I think he needs to be used more for 3-4 yard gains (no YAC necessary) and used WAY more in the endzone.
7. Give E.J. every snap you can in the preseason. Thad can be my backup . We at least know what he can do and its pretty good , for a backup. Let E.J. earn it the hard way. - I have to agree with Beerball, here. This wouldn't be him earning it. However, I think he should go in as the undisputed #1 and I think he should get all the snaps he can in preseason.

Where the !@#$ did you go to High School? There wasn't anywhere in the world we went where alcohol wasn't available. Especially since we always brought some.
Kids are always going to be kids. They're going to smoke weed, drink, and fornicate whenever and wherever they can. You can pass all the laws and incarcerate everyone and it's not going to stop it. That coach did the only thing he could and the idiots who suspended him from coaching don't have the stones to be in charge of anything because they responded with "mob rule" mentality instead of actual leadership.
I went to !@#$ing high school right here in upstate New York and I drank and smoked weed all the time.
Know what I never did ... ever ... ?? Go to a party at a teacher or coach's house.
Even if it's not the coach's fault that the kids got schitfaced at his house ... it was the coach's fault that the kids were even welcomed there.
He screwed up.
Holy state the obvious Batman! They fired him, of course they want him gone. Opinions differ on 'why.' I don't see anything deeper than a coach was told to be cognizant of sportsmanship & not run up the score. By his own admission the coach ignored these warnings and was fired.
The drinking is just a back story IMO. As for whether it is a big deal...it is for Dr. Fong which is why he brought it to our attention. Just how big only he can tell you.
Over a 12-game season, they won by an average of 28 points/game. Their opponents scored an average of 21 points/game. Simply eye-balling the scores tells me that running scores up was clearly not an issue. I see three blowouts, possibly four. That's not a lot. His "admission" was likely part of the deal in which the school returned the favor by not pursuing the incident that was actually potentially illegal - endangering the welfare of children.

How would it blow up in their face? It had happened months ago and was handled to the satisfaction of the administration, parents, and the authorities.
On a side note are you some kind of novelty account that I haven't been paying close enough attention to notice? I've noticed your username a few times in the past couple of weeks and felt like I was reading an Ieatcrayonz post.
Okay. On a totally serious note. I'm looking at this from the outside.
I see a coach suspended two games after high school kids are caught drinking at his house.
I see said coach - who apparently did nothing wrong - receive, and accept, a two game suspension. For doing nothing wrong.
I see the same coach come back to led his team to a state championship.
I see the same coach fired shortly after winning the state championship for running up the score - when the evidence shows that none of the scores were run up.
All of the above takes place within a 4-month window.
I'm sorry, but unless there is some history between the AD and the coach - prior to the drinking incident - I'm guessing that the school waited until after the season to fire this guy. And I am opining that they waited because they knew there was a chance they would win the state championship - IF this coach was in place.
My theory is that they gave the 2-game suspension just to shut the public up for a few months and they were waiting for the coach to give them a reason to fire him.
They looked at the scores and went with the "he ran up the score" card, because there was no other way to get rid of him.
I'm not trolling. I'm not trying to emulate Crayonz. I'm being serious.

Flattery will get you ... Everywhere!!
-
You're contradicting yourself. He was fired for winning by too much.
No. He was fired because they knew his allowing kids to drink at his house months earlier was going to blow up in the school's face. The winning too much reason was convenient. As was allowing him to coach long enough to win the state championship.
-
It wasn't available. They brought it. As soon as he found them with it he took it away. If that was the reason for his firing it should have happened back in August. He was suspended for two games.
Winning is important down there.

I'm surprised there's no leftover hatred for the Colts from their AFC East days. It wasn't that long ago.

Steroids in baseball: Mythology rules
You read it everyday "steroids (anabolic steroids) were not banned in baseball (choose one)
- when McGwire and Sosa compiled the summer of '98
- when Bonds hit 73 home runs
- until 2003"
Wrong. Fay Vincent sent out a memo in 1991 with the official MLB policy (ESPN):
A year earlier Congress had raised penalties for possessing those and 25 other anabolics. But now the stuff violated baseball's rules, too. On June 7, 1991, commissioner Fay Vincent sent a memo to each team and the players union that stated: "The possession, sale or use of any illegal drug or controlled substance by Major League players or personnel is strictly prohibited ... This prohibition applies to all illegal drugs ... including steroids.http://grg51.typepad...ids-in-bas.html
.
- when McGwire and Sosa compiled the summer of '98

Yeah, that happened. Some kids were drinking, he took the alcohol away, called parents, and reported it to the administration. I don't know what else he was supposed to do.
Having his players/students at his house where alcohol was available is worthy of getting canned, IMO. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Now THIS is a spare tire.

Who's to say they didn't do bad things years ago? Like load the bats and never get caught? We worship the Steelers and Raiders of the 1970's... They did nothing more than Barry did.
It wasn't against the rules what Barry did, if he did it.
You mixing court of public opinion w/the rules... He did nothing wrong and shouldn't have to answer anything about it. Now, if baseball squared away the illegality of what was going on, then he has to answer. I understand his approach, he owes nobody an explanation.
What's the problem? Why is everybody so high & mighty, self-righteous? Bonds did not break any rules.end of story.
You can do anything you want as long as it isn't against the rules. That is not the same as ONLY doing what the rules say (in this case, that would be dumb).
So will the Super Bowl?
What about goes that got caught w/corked bats? Let alone the time that they never got caught. Bonds broke no rules @ the time... No more that Ruth pounding hot dogs and beer.
You know what they did years ago? They drank, smoked cigarettes, did some speed and did some coke. Those aren't performance enhancers. Those don't make your body heal more quickly. Those don't make your body more durable.
My beef is the record books. I don't think steroids caused any team to win any World Series. But the individual record books are fuct forever because of these man-made monsters.
Not just HR records. Strikeouts. Hell ... even Rickey Henderson's All-Time Walks record was broken by Bonds. Henderson drew walks as an art form. Bonds got them because no one wanted to pitch to him ... because he was a cheater.
And baseball is a game full of tradition and unwritten rules. The fact that Bonds used his millions to scientifically get ahead of the rule books doesn't exonerate him. He's still a cheater who destroyed sacred records.

If you have a 2nd favorite team, that means you're not a real Bills fan and deserve the death penalty.

Wait a minute. So you are saying FSU in ONE offseason completely upgraded its entire team? EJ graduated FSU last year, meaning SAME DAMN TEAM that Winston had.
It will be nice when fans quit making excuses for average QB's
Name 4 starters different from last year.
Please refer to Post #10. Have a nice day.

C. Biscuit, I'm going to save any Bob Griffin-related conversations with you for next season, as neither of us will change our stance between now and then.
But this is funny. I went to look up Gruden's history on wiki and this is the intro ...
"Jay Gruden (born March 4, 1967) is an American football coach and former quarterback. He is currently the next head coach Daniel Snyder will fire for the Washington Redskins and was formerly the head coach of the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League."

And if MM held the records, would he admit? I am not holding my breath. He threw the others under the bus, no damage could be done to him anyway... First one outta the gate.
Tough not being Mr. Loveable Media Guy when those same sportswriter have the power to vote you in!
+1
I'm pretty sure McGuire knew his chances at the HOF were gone. And I believe you can admit to wrong doing/apologize without being "Mr. Loveable Media Guy."
I think he admitted it because he knew it was undeniable. Bonds' !@#$ing head grew 3 sizes. But he still denied it.
I remain pissed at McGuire for cheating and for crashing Roger Maris' party forever (reallllly pisses me off). But the people like Bonds and Clemens are far worse, because not only did they ruin the record books, they're also insulting every fan of the game by "looking them in the eye" and saying, "You're wrong. I did not do those things."
-
and it likely so many where well aware of it , looked the other way and crossed fingers he would not get caught, today protesting ignorance. The issue a complex one not simply black and white hero and villain. Mark Macguire coach these days, life going on just nicely thank you very much... others beat down into scoundrels . There is a great deal of wrong to be spread around,
Mark McGuire admitted it and was able to move on. There was a lesson to be learned there. People like Clemens, Rodriguez, Sosa, Palmeiro and Ryan Braun did not learn the lesson.

Jeter, it just goes so far beyond numbers with him. he has been the heart & soul of the Yankees for the last 17 years. & his numbers are pretty dam good for such a long time.I am a mets fan too so it pains me to say that.
I hear ya, Gordio. His numbers and achievements (or, as Rickey Henderson calls them, "achiezement") are actually phenomenal:
