  2. The Truth About Bledsoe - he thought he was smarter than everyone else, and he's really just an arrogant dumb ___: Peter King's story: I think it's good to be reminded that this is the 10-year anniversary weekend for the Drew Bledsoe hit by Mo Lewis that led to the ascension of Tom Brady -- thanks, Adam Schefter -- but we all should remember one thing that, for some reason, seems to have been washed away by time. Brady's time was coming whether Bledsoe got hurt or not. The Patriot staff, Bill Belichick and Charlie Weis most notably, were tiring of studying tape and installing a game plan during the week, then having Bledsoe change an inordinate number of plays and make decisions outside of the progressions Weis wanted in the passing game. Unless Bledsoe led the Patriots to the same Super Bowl victory Brady did in 2001, I believe the Patriots would likely have made the quarterback change before the 2002 season. Bledsoe was a very good player for the Patriots, to be sure. But even in Buffalo, the staff tired of him taking such strong control of the offense -- and other things. The Bills let Bledsoe walk after some big losses in his third year with the team, 2004. None bigger than the last one, a loss to Pittsburgh on a windy day in Buffalo. Winds were whipping up pretty strong that day, and before he walked out to midfield for the flip, Bledsoe was advised by coaches to choose to defend the east goal if Pittsburgh won the toss and elected to receive. (Though the official play-by-play listed the wind as coming from the south that day, Buffalo coaches felt it was an easterly wind.) That way, the Steelers wouldn't be wind-aided when they took the ball. Pittsburgh won the toss. Pittsburgh elected to receive. Bledsoe said Buffalo would defend the west goal. West? Bledsoe explained that when he got to midfield, it seemed to him the wind was whipping around differently than the way the coaches thought, and so he picked the opposite goal to defend. Bledsoe had a seesaw 16-of-30 day and Pittsburgh won 29-24. Bledsoe never played again for Buffalo. Bledsoe is very smart, but on a few occasions, thinking differently than his coaches hurt his employment career. And it affected the balance of power for years in the AFC East.

  3. From the workout video, it's clear he's not just a fat guy. You have to remember that Jason Peters came to us in a similar way, so there's some small chance Jasper could turn out to be a player although everyone should restrain themselves a bit - it's a small chance. However, guys like this do come along from time to time (recall Howard Ballard was an 11th round pick back in the day). It would appear the kid has a chance if he's motivated and can keep working. By the way, he's 6' 4" not 5' 6" as someone else wrote, and he played on both lines at Bethel, which may explain the confusion about where he belongs. I didn't see any facts on his 40 time, but seems like he prefers defense from what I read. I don't think anyone knows that until they seem him in camp. How about fullback - that would be fun to watch!
  4. LMAO at all you guys - but there's one more grammar ticket to be handed out before we end this: "Irregardless" is not a word, and neither is "Iregardless". "Regardless" is the correct grammar in this context, so Bills99999 please use "regardless" in future as it should be easier for you: less letters to spell and fewer syllables for you to slur. A RIP shout out to former Bills QB great, Jack Kent Cooke and his favorite receiver, Elbert Einstein!
  5. Dude - you're doing a good job of displaying your ignorance. Wilson REFUSES to sell the team or EVEN TALK ABOUT A transition plan. He won't give up the team, but there are a lot of creative things that could be done - e.g. he could sell a % and give that buyer a future option to purchase the team. But, he's a selfish, egotistical, (stadium name) senile, old bastard who has made a fortune off the backs of the working people of WNY, and he doesn't give a damn what happens after he dies. He's going to hold the team in his cold, greedy hands until he dies, and let his heirs auction it off. He has been a good owner for the league, but a terrible owner for this franchise. The W-L record over the franchise history bears this out. His meddling drives away the good coaches and GMs that we have had, and other good ones stay away because the know how he is. Next time you comment, do your homework.
