Klay Thompson, Ken Griffey Jr, Andrew Luck, Clay Matthews III, Barry Bonds, Brett Hull, Kobe Bryant and Cal Ripken would all like to apply for inclusion into your club. Archie Manning isn't quite sure what to make of it all and Nick O'Leary was last seen running from this thread with one glove on. Even Marcia Clark and Mark Fuhrman know, These Gloves Don't Fit!

Hilarious... You are insulted that you had to waste your time clicking on a thread titled " Allen or Darnold: Who Would You Rather Have?" to see what it was about, if it was worth your time, or if it was of interest to you? What were you expecting the thread to be about, the meaning of life? In the immortal words of Mr Rodgers, RELAX! We are neighbors here, eh?

Great! Send us back Jason Peters and we will send back McCoy.

"Heroic run to 1 - 4"

Because Buffalo signed Beast Mode to a one day contract, stopped the game in the final minute to put him on the wall of fame... And then handed him the F8c^^n** Ball!

Somewhere, P.T. Barnum is laughing.

So, you are saying that while Kelly raised the level of play of his of his teammates, Luck has not?

I think my ex wife has somehow created 743 unique profiles on TBD. Virtually every post reads like she is screaming the words at me.

Perhaps I can be the one to interrupt what must be a really bad trip. You appear to be quite agitated and traumatized by the notion that Brandon is doing "football things" by executing his duties as CEO and President of a professional football team. This slip down the looking glass appears to be exacerbated by the omission of some fantastical, mythical football god who would, in theory, be more adept at doing this "football stuff". Don't look down! Because what you may see lurking down there below the ledge that you have found yourself are these mythical, fantastical "football guys" doing "football stuff" that Brandon has hired to do this "football stuff". They are guys named Nix and Whaley. One is walking away and one is walking straight at you. Do not look him straight in the eye! If you do, he will telekinetically burn a big orange "S" into the dark recesses of your struggling psyche. Be careful out there man. And even though these football dudes are invisible to some, it is rumored that they do indeed, now do the football stuff thinking down there in Orchard Park Wonderland. And just because neither of these invisible wizards hail from the evil kingdom of Syracuse, they still opted to listen when the football community of other football wizards whispered in hushed tones about one very highly acclaimed football coach whom several other football guys sought for their own football kingdoms. If only they had turned an run when they spotted the big orange "S" clouded from their view under that cleverly worn visor. Then we could all just climb back out of the chess board and resume screaming at the other demons that plague our daily hells....

The Mayan calendar thinks this question is messed up...

And apropos of everything: "Adversity does not build character. Adversity reveals character" - Marv Levy

They did. They signed Byrd for 6.9 million. The last time I checked, that signing counts against their cap for this year and will result in Byrd taking the field for the Buffalo Bills in 2013. That signing needed to be taken into account when evaluating the decision on Levitre. Reality is real! As the man said, "You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts."

Sorry Vince, but that dog won't hunt. You are presented with a list that includes Eric Wood, Kyle Williams, Stevie Johnson, Fred Jackson, Mario Williams. Then you choose Urbik and Pears to illustrate your point about not keeping your top players. Really? BTW, I would guarantee you that very few NFL GM's, particularly that successful ones, would have been found throwing 8 million per in the direction of Andy Levitre. He is a solid and consistent player, but not $8 million solid. If your point is that the Bills have not been successful in re-signing their top talent in recent years, I beg to differ. Look back at the list and tell me that again. I don't see how you arrive at that conclusion when presented with those names. Would I like to go back and add Pears and Urbik to the list? Yes, without question. The Bills did have one of the top rated OL's in the league over the past few years. You don't get there without those type of signings. Or are you suggesting that success was all the result of A Levitre's awesomeness?

That would be the same front office that has re-upped Eric Wood, Kyle Williams, Stevie Johnson, Fred Jackson, Leodis McKelvin, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Scott Chandler and numerous others as well as shelling out serious $$ for Mario Williams and handing over 7 Million to Byrd as franchise tag recently. What is it about reality in the salary cap era that proves so confounding for some fans? You have to pick your spots in today's NFL. It is no longer a viable option to keep every player that you would have in previous decades. Give credit where due. And next year when we are having this conversation about CJ Spiller, Byrd round 2, and Dareus, will you still be lamenting the lack of an $8 Million annual commitment to a guard? Which of those 3 would you choose Levitre over?

Have you ever noticed that Tea has a very bitter after taste.... a little like astro turf...

Thank them and seek help for your annoying case of ODS...

They are horrific as journalists. As entertainers, they are much worse. I like to listen to sports talk when I drive, so I hold my nose and listen. I must say, the stench is growing out of control. BTW... what is the deal with that station and Lee Evans. To hear them tell it, The Bills just traded Jerry Rice for a roll of ankle tape. Evans was a stand up guy, but let's face it, he is not much of a receiver by 2011 NFL standards. Results are what matter in the NFL and his are not the stuff to build around. Good grief, let it go guys....

What you said... I think you just caused a mass panic in some meeting room at WGR550. Can you imagine the horror if people start to suspect the Bills are not in the midst of a massive exodus conspiracy... Oh no! Take it back!

Some guy named Tasker did OK after being waived by the Oilers...

The Reading Department has developed an on-line tutorial to help you prepare for the Reading portion of the test. In the Reading Comprehension section of the test, there are two types of questions that are designed to measure your ability to understand what you read. The PRACTICE TEST consists of twenty questions that will test the same reading skills as the Accuplacer using the same types of questions.

The tutorial also has links to websites that will provide additonal practices to strengthen both your vocabulary and reading comprehension skills. Links to study skills sites are also given to provide you with time management, test-taking and various other study strategies. The menu on the left provides links to all of these sites. Good Luck!

Vanek is lazy...

You are missing the point jw... Do you remember the movie, Major League? Do you remember when Charlie Sheen's character changed his look and lost his effectiveness? Do you remember the fans in the movie going nuts when "Wild Thing" came out of the bull pen rocking the look from the days when he was dominant? They sensed the return of good days. We are those fans... and we are ecstatic over anything that even hints at recapturing a bit of those glory days. That... and the reality that the current uniforms are horrific. It is difficult to root for a team that looks like a troup of clowns... Apparently, we won't have to any longer.

Sorry, but none of us can know that. It is just as likely that such anticipation is what drives him to make plays. Human nature is unpredictable. What drives one man to success or distraction is neither uniform in nature nor unversally applicable. It's too easy to overthink this stuff... Let Stevie be Stevie.

I read this thread and find myself wondering if I have just been awakened from some kind of Rip Van Winkle nap. When did celebrating and showing personality on the field become such a "terrible thing"? This is not the US Senate. This is professional sports. We pay good money to watch plyers compete and to be entertained. Professional athletes have always celebrated on field. I remember Bruce Smith and Darryl Talley's sideline routine about "What time is it? Showtime?" making us all 'smile. I remember Bobby Chandler celebrating touchdowns by spiking the football off of the giant Buffalo mascot that used to roam the end zone back in the mid 70's. Thurman Thomas had the habit of performing the first down gesture to get the crowd going. Fred Smerlas and Jim Haslett led a "Chorus Line" dance at midfield after a victory over LA in 1980. It was great. We were Talkin' Proud, not bitching about it. Cornelius Bennet invented the move of standing over a quarterback with arms folded after a sack. Bruce would sometimes flop around wildly and pound the turf after a sack. Billy "White Shoes" Johnson did one hell of a TD dance and was loved for it. Harold Carmichael used to roll the football in the endzone like a pair of dice. Joe Namath guaranteed things. Muhhamad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard endeared themsleves to the world with their clowning and antics in the ring. Earl "The Pearl" Monroe would make defenders look like fools, just because it was fun. Mark "The Bird" Fidrych talked to the baseball between pitches. We loved them all and we missed them when they left the game. Hell, Babe Ruth famously called his shot... Its sports... They are competitors... It's what they do... It always has been this way and it always will be. Please, people... lighten up. As Stevie would say: Why so serious?
