Glory Bound

I was working in my store 2.5 hrs NW of Balt...stuff in the store was swaying...picture fell off the wall...I witnessed the wall do a wave & stuff on my shelves was vibrating. Definitely not mild, but not violent either. Somewhere in between...I'll say significant. Startling & Puzzling...took me a minute to figure it out...my 1st quake!

I know I'm in the minority, but I always liked the red helmets...although I must say the new uni's are growing on me. But I am to the point where I don't care if they wear pink shirts with lime green pants & orange helmets with a pregnant buffalo taking a crap. For heavens sake, just start winning!

I see you've upped your meds John!

Kiss off Jeremy! You're no better than anybody else! We looked terrible against one of the two teams that drafted ahead of us, & on top of that, they have a new coach. We're all just a little discouraged right now!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ralph publicly state he had no interest in Tebow?

Which is only one reason we are gonna win our first game!

Kinda like your mutt winning the ugly dog competition...rings a tad hollow & hard to brag about.

I wonder if his whole life consists of doing weird things? 10 to 1 he lives alone

Which has been the case for years...which is why Evans couldn't excel...which made him expendable...which is why we drafted 3rd this yr...which is why _____________________ (Pick your poison & fill in the blank)

My vote is the latter...but yes...good guy & I hope he excels in Balt!

Reading all these posts, I've been waiting for someone to mention this. Perhaps Easley too. To the guys who have been talking about team morale, sitting Evans would have been worse. Some things just run their course. Evans is not elite

I've failed too - made a horrible investment! I spent 10 grand to send my son to football camp & all I got was a quarter back.

Mike, I am miffed. How on Earth do you take all these photos along with giving us such a thorough report? It seems impossible for one person to do. Do you have help? Do you speak into a recorder, & then go back & write what you've recorded? Amazing! Although raised in the Buffalo area, I have lived in Steelers country for the past several decades. Between my work schedule, and the distance I would need to travel, there's a zero chance I will ever attend a Bills practice. I'm sure I speak for many others when I say thanks so much for your reports...VERY much appreciated, & VERY well done!!! You are our eyes & ears there!

So let me see if I got this straight... Freedom of speech is a great thing in your mind, so long as you agree with what they're saying? Now that I've spanked you, I must say I agree with your assessment of our beloved Bills, with the exception of the last few games. If Dareus lives up to his billing, & Barnett & Merriman are indeed healthy as being reported by Mike & others, you will see a different defense this year, especially with Wanny's expertise in the mix. I can't wait!

Watch the first 6 games. We should be 4 & 2 at the BYE, If worse, then work on your honey-do list the rest of the Sundays ...but make sure you record the games... Ya just never know.

Your assessment of Spiller being a bust is way premature. If he tears it up this year, you gonna come back on this board & admit you were wrong? Also, with the exception of the last few games, the 4-win team was much more entertaining to watch.

I am so encouraged by your observations of Barnett & Merriman!

I'll eat mouse knuckles & hog farts for dinner if we can get a 5th for him

The cheezers just won the SB with 16 guys on IR. The key to victory has more to do with depth & good coaching. Injuries are inevitable.

Not only cheap, but an A hole too. I talked to a guy recently who's good friend was a caterer & catered a party for Snyder. There was a lot of food left over, so the guy asked Snyder if he could take the leftovers to a homeless shelter & Snyder refused...saying something to the effect that if his people didn't eat it, then nobody was going to. Obviously, I wasn't there & can't personally vouch for this story, but the fella seemed real sincere & swore it was true. I believed him.

Yeah...stupid Green Bay Packers...idiot cheeseheads with their cheap @$$ approach to buiding a team....morons!

Excellent response to the OP. To reinforce your point further, they just won the SB with 16 guys on IR.

Since the title of your post matches my user name, I feel compelled to respond. I grew up right down the road from Rich Stadium...been a hard core Bills fan since I was a little tyke. For the last 30+ years however, I have lived right in the heart of Steelers country. If you don't think a pro team can build a winner from the inside out, please check out our 1st place Buccos under Bob Nutting's tenure. The key is coaching, & I still believe Chan can do it.

I never said I desired that kind of life. I'm happy being a nobody. But I still take my valuables in the house at night & lock my vehicle anyway.

Of course, I'm referring to Jim Kelly leaving his "treasured" rings, watch, & family photos, and other memorabilia in his unlocked vehicle in his driveway in a briefcase. He may as well hung a sign on his vehicle... ATTENTION DRUG ADDICTS & THIEVES: FREE JIM KELLY GOODIES...VEHICLE UNLOCKED. As drunken Bob would say, "Are you freaken kidding me?" Now I'm not trying to diminish this crime in any way. This Sapp dude deserves prison time. But c'mon Jimbo...what were ya thinkin? If I was rich & famous, I would have a gated driveway entrance, my entire property fenced in, along with guard dogs, security cameras, & warning signs, and more. I would lock my vehicles & home, & if anybody wanted anything valuable of mine, they would need to be very clever & bring a lot of tools. I mean really...isn't this what celebrities do, knowing full well they are an automatic target? Now, addressing the rumors of Kelly having people lined up to buy the Bills after Ralph passes on...is he smart enuf to pull this off? That's my rant for the day...go ahead...let me have it.
