Touche. But I would have to say its like him finding a footprint on the roof in the snow, measuring it and then going and yelling that its Santa Clause and he is real. The sleigh would be pretty significant proof. Like they found a empty bottle or something. Moran doesn't even have that. He has a source.. So it's second hand account.

In other news, I'm watching the Pats*/Bucs game. Andre Carter looks like a beast.... Better hope Bell can block him, otherwise the Pats* are gonna be putting a lot of pressure on Fitz.

I get this argument, I studied philosophy. Its basically an Ad Hoc argument. But its like saying, Santa Clause is real. And maybe we just haven't discovered his technology or how he gets around etc. You can keep saying til your blue in the face that maybe, just maybe its still true. When reputal sources confirm that there is nothing to see here, it's time to put this story to bed and move on.

Gotta agree with that, what career? The guy basically admits he started this site on his own, because he was sick of the coverage of sports in Buffalo. If you do some digging, into his myspace, he has no formal journalism training. So how is he any different than any fan who starts a website/blog? So in essence what does he have to lose with this story? His sponsers? I'm sure S.W.A.T. and Rekkio's Bowling aren't gonna be too upset about this. Maybe Benchwarmers Bar and Grill gets upset because he tried to defame a Buffalo Bill. Maybe he doesn't get the 2 for 1 deal at Tomatoe's Pizza anymore. All in all, this guys has very limit reputation and national interest to be worried about.

Seriously dude. You didn't see the 30 page thread?

Unfortunately it is easy to sue for Libel, but very hard to prove. Most cases don't stand up in court. There are usually 3 things a person has to prove that. 1.) that the statement is in fact false. Which that could be tricky on its own. 2.) that the statement caused harm. again very hard to prove that. and 3.) prove the statement was made without significant research. There is also a sort of 4th rule for celebs. They need to prove that the statement was specifically mad with intent to harm. Which most reporters can just say they were just reporting what they heard and weren't intending to do any harm. Put those all together, and you have one tough case. Not sure Shawne would want to go through all of that AND give this guy more publicity. Although I think he should, just to put this Pat Moran in a bad light.

So is starting a 6'1" 231 lb(thats his listed weight... i doubt its really that much, must be when he's soaking wet) at MLB. He's kind of a liability out there.

hahahahaha, Seriously can't stop laughing. Can we end the thread on this!

To me this seems like such a non-story its absolutely hilarious. Shawne Merriman, has never been busted for using steroids. He was tested with a banned substance in his system. The NFL never said it was roids. And this all happened when the NFL had a freaking 800 # you called to check you supplements with. The NFL even waited weeks before releasing the information that he failed because they didn't want him to take a bad rap. He passed 19 out of the 20 drug tests before. The guy got a bad rap by the media Even if this was true, that he came across the boarder with a supposed substance, that doesn't mean it was steroids. Again it could have been supplements. Steroids are such a weighted word. Just like busted is. Honestly, this Moran guy, used a terrible choice of words.

Merriman is on the opening page of buffalobills.com.... must mean something

I think this was a key time... Baltimore missed out on some receivers in FA and they didn't get Derrick Mason back or Jerricho Cotchery. So they were gonna have to give up picks. Honestly I think they over payed for Evans. Randy Moss got the Patriots* a 3rd and a 7th. Boldin got the Cardinals a 3rd, 4th. Both those receivers have put up better numbers than Evans. Gotta take what the market dictates. 37 receptions for 578 yards, isn't going to get you much. Yea he has a reputation as being a number 1, but the numbers just don't support that. At least for the last 2 years.... 81 receptions for 1,190 yards. Ouch

Listen, I get what you are saying. So the role of who teams game plan for WR-wise shifts to Stevie. My argument to that is don't you think every defense game plans for the good/great WR's on any team ala Andre/Calvin Johnson. And yet they still come through and produce. Do we know how Stevie will respond to this role? No, not at all but if he is a great WR, he will find a way to get open.

Didn't you know, Lee Evans is the only #1 WR in the NFL that gets doubled, thats why his numbers are so low. Also he's a decoy. Thats a #1's job. They don't catch balls.

Sooooo is that your rebuttal? Seriously, so now its not the player its the coach. How about an actual Bills player. Eric Moulds. Eric was by far, a much more productive receiver. He was a true #1. And he had just as crappy QB and Coaching.

So you must be the fan I was referring to that thinks Lee Evans is the only receiver in the NFL that gets doubled. And that every other dominant, exciting, (insert adjective here), #1 receiver is just allowed to roam free in the secondary. I don't buy it. Larry Fitzgerald caught 90 PASSES last year, with some of the worst QB play ever. Please. The excuses need to stop.

#1 Receiver's get doubled all the time. This wasn't just an occurrence that only happened in Buffalo, which some fans would have you believe. Andre Johnson, gets doubled. The difference is he still gets open, finds holes in the defense. Lee is a stretch receiver, very one dimensional. If he couldn't burn a CB or Safety, then he couldn't get open. Good #1 WR's find holes in the defense, they find ways to get open. My Point: Yes Stevie will draw doubles now, but lets wait and see what he does before just casting him away, like he will never get open again. I'm sorry, I just don't buy the decoy argument.

+1

Not even if that money that Lee was given, goes to say.... Stevie? Just asking.

Do you just go thread to thread screaming the world is gonna end chicken little? The guy is going to be out a couple days, relax. It's not even the regular season yet...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Step back from the ledge. First off, Bell and Woods took days off last year after recovering from injuries. Hell, Corner took days off before to make sure everything healed right. There is nothing wrong with taking rest days. Healthy for the season is what I am sure you would want? No? Secondly, who said anything about about him being out. You make it sound as if he is headed to the IR/PUP list. Just breath chicken little...
