  1. I am not a fan of WGR but apparently they are reporting that Byrd is out indefinitely because he needs surgery to repair the groin complication. No link yet but I'm working on it.
  2. Who are the 5 crap-tacular teams that are worse than us?...just playing Devil's advocate here
  3. I was just having this conversation with a buddy not two minutes ago. I have never been a big college FB watcher but I am in the same boat as you are. Part of the anticipation is seeing which of the 3 blow up and which ones burn out. I'm with you. I'm looking forward to Saturdays where I get my notebook out, grab four beers, and put on my evaluation hat! Anything beats going outside and doing stuff.
  4. Favre was a bust with the Falcons and Brunell manned the clipboard in Green Bay...coincidentally for Favre
  5. I really hope Maybin plays with a ton of confidence and works on different moves to rush the passer. I want to see proof that he is making progress. I want to see a lot of Brohm so I can get the image of that deep INT he threw in ATL last year that TO pretty much gave up on. He is another one that I hope plays with confidence. I wonder how many touches guys like Bell or Simpson will get if any with the first unit...probably not but who knows. It would be great if we uncovered another Fred Jackson-type back I guess in general I'm looking for them to play with a sense of purpose and confidence. Ben Affleck said it best in Boiler Room, "Act as if..." Act as if we are actually a good team. Here's hoping they buy into that.
  6. I think you're referring to Bob Golic. He had a good career but I'm not sure he would be a good QB. Last time I saw him he was on Saved by the Bell: The College Years.
  7. Well on the surface I was trying to make a comparison between Bills players and Major League characters but deep down I was trying to find someone who obviously does not have a sense of humor. SUCCESS!!!
  8. James Hardy is going to get the Red Tag in his locker...
  9. Mike Poop is a clown. The sooner we all realize that, the sooner we can get on with our lives.
  10. Its about them playing spades, nothing football related
  11. However...its chance for Naaman to make the final 53 by default! The two sweetest words in the English language! DE-FAULT! DE-FAULT! DE-FAULT!
  12. I agree with the idea that sometimes you have to bottom out to get better but I don't like it coming from a guy who admittedly doesn't like football. I'm assuming it's because he has serious scarring in his rectum from all the atomic wedgies he received from the football players in high school. Mike Poop knows jack about competing or building a team and has no business discussing anything but stamp collections and cheese drafts. The concept is solid, the source is suspect.
  13. Freddy Coleman and that little nerd John Clayton were dogging the Bills on ESPN radio the other day in a similar manner that the Jerk Store on Monday Night Countdown was. All these talking heads and know-it-alls have the same opinion and no one thinks outside the box about the Bills, or the City in General (not opening that can of worms). Granted, their performance the other night didn't swing any heads around but one of these clowns should buck the trend a little and grow a pair! If they don't, then whatever. My thing is...Let the Haters HATE I'm still standing!
  14. Ballplayers. I don't have ballplayers, I've got girls.
  15. Great call on Freddy Jackson! That is much more appropriate than Lee. How about this one: Rex Ryan = Clue Haywood
  16. So this is my first post and I'm jumping in with both feet. I'm sure this topic has come up before but I wanted to make the comparison between some characters from Major League and the 2010 Buffalo Bills. See what you think and although I'm sure I'll get slaughtered for initiating a new post my first time, I wanted to share this with all of you. We'll go Major League Character = Buffalo Bills management/coach/player. Here we go: We'll start from the top down: Management: Rachel Phelps = Russ Brandon Although not actually the owner of the team, Russ is like Rachel because I'm sure he hates Buffalo for the same reasons Rachel hates Cleveland. The stadium is old, the weather's lousy, and he doesn't want to have to start feeding his lap dog real dog food. Behind Russ's smile and wave there is a former beauty queen who wants to put together a team to help him relocate to L.A. This feeds into the next character... Charlie Donovan = Buddy Nix This one is just way too accurate sans the Southern drawl. I know Buddy sports the polyester slacks w/ short-sleeve button down (aka the Detective Sipowicz) in meetings with Russ as he hold his lap dog in utter disgust. I can also see him hating every suggestion that Russ makes. All he needs is the faded forearm tattoo and the flat top and we have a dead ringer! Can't you see him asking Russ, "Hey, if I'm the GM, who is going to be the Coach?"...you can take if from there Coach Lou Brown = Chan Gailey Once again, sans the southern drawl, a dead ringer!!! A coaching 'never-was' who gets the call up for his big chance! Coincidence, they were both managers at Tire World! I'm sure he mulled over his decision while discussing White walls with some jerk. Just hope Chan isn't too old to be diving into lockers... Pepper = Curtis Modkins Who? exactly. Both just sit there and mind their business... Players: Jake Taylor = Lee Evans A tired old vet who has no where else to play, trying to get one last shot at a winner. Not exactly dead on because Lee is in the 'prime' of his career, but close enough. I was thinking he could have been Dorn but this guy fits a little better...its up for interpretation Roger Dorn = Chris Kelsay Over-priced under-producing primadonna who is a big fan of the Ole (could't make the spanish dash on the e) B.S. Chan was told we didn't have any high priced talent. Buddy forgot about Kelsay because he's only high priced... Eddie Harris = Trent Edwards The 'Ace' of the staff. Coincidentally, they both have the same throwing motion. Willie Mays Hayes = CJ Spiller This one is obvious but they would never take CJ out of camp in the middle of the night. I saw him in Fairport driving a little white VW bug on chrome rims! Solid Pedro Serano = Marshawn Lynch Both can be impact players when their head is on straight but both struggle with the English language. Wild Thing Ricky Vaughn = Levi Brown Now Levi wasn't playing in any Penal Leagues but he comes from an obscure conference and is an unknown commodity. Seems not to take any crap from anyone which is great and carries his gear in a garbage bag. How awesome would it be to see him go for the Veg-Head! I was going to do Ralph but he IS the owner from Rookie of the Year who pisses his pants after finding a decoder ring in the cracker jack box. Let me know what you think about the comparisons and again, I'm going to get killed on the length!
