No one has ever claimed, in my recollection, that Ralph wasn't cheap before Polian...to keep suggesting otherwise is not only ridiculous, but dishonest..find some proof of anyone saying he wasn't cheap back then or just come out an admit you can't debate like an adult. As far as recently, the proof has been given repeatedly that he's not cheap anymore...anyone who ignores the facts that have been given ad nauseum is just arguing out of blind hatred A rumor came out 2 1/2 years ago...when Ralph passes away, Mary gets the team...no estate tax...she plans to sell the team to Kelly's group of investors...considering the confidence with which Kelly has, at times, talked about keeping the team here, I'd say the rumor has a lot of validity

Pizza Hut wings are actually pretty good...nowhere near someplace like Duff's but if you tried to pass them off as coming from a normal Buffalo bar, you couldn't tell the difference...at least at the Pizza Hut I had them at

There's a term for that Rob Johnson Syndrome..he never trusted in his receivers getting open until he saw it happen and took too long to pull the trigger The biggest issue I see with Trent is how he stares down his receivers...if I can see who the ball is going to before the snap, the defense will see it as well

I did but when I saw your post, I was floored..lol

Buy him pitchers of beer...but watch out! You must be a big guy saying that...lol As far as Leodis on the punts, I doubt it, but I wonder if the ball coming from the Jugs gun instead of off of Moorman's foot has any part to play...maybe a little more velocity on it than a natural punt. Roscoe, Leodis, and Ellis Lankster were the 3 on punts and Roscoe was the only one doing a consistent job fielding them

not sure of all the names but the article is wrong because if there were 4 counting him at the time, there are at least 8 now...in addition to Elway, you have Eli Manning (drafted by Chargers) and Phillip Rivers (drafted by Giants) and there's also a LB drafted by the Colts in 87 who never played for them..went by the nickname of Biscuit

you're joking, right?

actually, his hands were talked about when we drafted him...projected to be a better receiver coming out of the backfield than Peterson

I know that the stadium field generally gets a lot hotter and they've rarely, if ever, used it for afternoon practices. Something I noticed....a lot more fast-paced a practice than under Jauron. Players didn't lackadaisically walk back to the huddle or coaches after a play or drill the way they did under Jauron

at least he felt he deserved to get his ass kicked...lol

Think how Marv Levy feels...the only guy to cut Superman...lol

Anyone with even half a clue knows Scotty didn't have a great leg...accurate but not all that strong. He pushed so hard to get enough distance on the kick, a 47 yarder on grass, that his normal accuracy suffered. Besides that, it's a 60-minute game and with all the missed tackles the defense had that day, the blame goes more there than anywhere

Sure...Chad Ochocinco is my favorite player in the NFL without any Bills ties so hoping TO does well is easy...he kept out of trouble with us (there were a few times his effort seemed lacking, however) and the only drama was that he supposedly dissed Thurman in the locker room before a game...but maybe he read Thurman's political tweets and they were the cause of that...lol

well, like I said, you wouldn't think it would be a big deal but the switch from LCB to RCB definitely hurt him..as far as sucking hard at LCB, that's ridiculous...he was definitely a downgrade from Burris and Kerner would've been better had he not gotten injured, but he hardly sucked hard..he was average and sometimes slightly above average...the praise in Minnesota can be attributed to one thing...coaching

McGahee and Jason Peters are the 2 ex-Bills I would love seeing out of the league...world class douchebags who didn't give their all when they were here Flutie and RJ...besides Flutie's penchant for not throwing the ball to open receivers and RJ's unwillingness to trust his WRs enough to throw them the ball...damn...eerily similar, the way the two of them handled themselves in the QB controversy was embarassing and hurt the team almost as much as their poor play did. Gregg Williams...pompous jackass who thought he was better than he was...the mark of a good coach is to adapt your schemes around the players you have....Williams did the opposite Dickerson...pathetic college coach...decent-at-best DL Coach, and awful loudmouthed radio host...his influence is what turned Mike Schopp into the world class douchebag he is today I think Daryl Porter was farther out of his lane than anyone but any of the players who left their coverage lanes were screw-ups actually, he was pretty decent...maybe average to above average until he made a position switch. When he came into the league in 95, with fellow CB Marlon Kerner, he was slotted at LCB on the 2nd team. He and Marlon never switched, either. When Jeff Burris left in free agency, that opened the starting spot at, you guessed it, LCB. Kerner's 2 knee injuries took him to IR and out of the competition for the starting role. Irvin held down the starting LCB spot and did ok, not great, with it until an injury in Winfield's rookie season. Antoine came in and played well at LCB the last few games of the season and, rather than switch the rookie over to RCB the next season when Thomas Smith left in free agency, they switched Irvin over ther and he struggled. You wouldn't think switching sides of the field would be a big deal, but Ken had the LCB so ingrained in muscle memory, that when turning out of his back-pedal to stay with the WR, he hesitated...started to turn one way before turning the other. anyone who seriously thinks that is seriously in need of some education as well as class. Defense lost the game, not Scotty

because the morning sessions are closed to the public

If you actually found Dickerson entertaining, just tune into WGR in the afternoon...Schopp didn't come across as a total ignorant jackass until he learned from Dickerson

he's human...never be able to throw a knife that far...she's superhuman...no contest

QFT

Too bad it would be against NFL rules which state teams can't open training camp any more than 15 days before their first games...we could've had an extra mini-camp, though...teams with new head coaches can have up to 3...we had 2, one voluntary and one mandatory

For one thing, I'd make it to every Bills and Bandits game and if I have that kind of money, the Jills and Bandettes would be the NFL and NLL's 1st traveling cheerleading/dance squads

I can't fault the #3 ranking for Buffy Summers...not sure who I'd put there ahead of her, whether it be Spike or Xander Changing the name wouldn't have made a whole lot of sense, though. When the name Buffy was mentioned before the series, most people think of a shallow self-centered girl...which is what Buffy Summers was before she was activated. Now, take a shallow self-centered girl and imbue her with powers and a big responsibility...pretty big adjustment. Wouldn't have seemed as big a deal to name her Betty or Marge or anything like that

The big difference between season 1 and the rest of the series is the fact that, like most shows, the 1st season had mostly self-contained episodes...where each episode told a story After that is where it got great...with season-long story arcs...there was still some episodic stuff like "Ted" but you wouldn't be able to understand an episode like "I Only Have Eyes For You" without having seen the rest of the season....the story arcs on Buffy set a trend that you see more these days but I don't think any shows have stuff like the story of Dawn, whose coming was foreshadowed a few years before she was written into the series. as far as characters, Spike and Xander seemed to me to be the best as far as character development overall
