Zero amount of work getting done today. Probably tomorrow too.

Maybe it's time I got a sig. Don't all the cool posters have signatures?

He highly respects the tradition and past of the Sabres. He nearly broke down in tears when he held a press conference with the French Connection. He told Gilbert Perrault that he's "his hero." He's like a very, very rich fan. You old-timers that are banging the drum to get Lou Saban on the Wall of Fame might get your wish. Spending money will NOT be an issue. If anything he probably over-hyped himself and the Sabres with "Cup talk" after he bought the team. This old article is required reading.

lol done deal my a$$ "the agency would vote on Sept. 30"

Not just yet, that's reserved for a playoff berth. I may consider rotating it to point upwards however...

Great news!

I don't want to sound negative after an opening day road win, but I agree with you. We gave up 427 yards of offense and when they had both of their big receivers in the game they moved the ball well on us. Those 3 turnovers are what held them to 20 points.

Put down the bottle and drink some black coffee...

I can't believe Chandler single-handedly killed that drive. He just took points off the board.

Bonus: I predict I get 7 out of 11 right

I was about to read this thread but when I got to the bottom of the first page and saw "Page 1 of 30" I did a double-take. Holy crap Sunday can't get here fast enough!

Allow me. I do this once a year, so feel free to cut and paste this every week Lynch runs for over 100 yards. ---cut here--- Fred Jackson ran him off the field. Literally. Freddie burst onto the scene and not only was he a better runner than Marshawn, he was better at every facet of the position. He had better hands, ran better routes, was better in pass protection, and he had the characteristics of a team leader both in the locker room and off the field. And although Fred was 28, he had very low mileage on him from his short NFL career. Marshawn on the other hand had a flighty, quirky personality. He showed flashes of brilliance when he went "Beastmode" inside the red zone, but that intensity didn't happen every time he touched the ball (it should in the NFL) He was involved in a hit-and-run incident at 4AM downtown, then to follow that up he stole $20 out of someone's purse (seriously?). He was 1 incident away from facing a hefty league suspension, and he had 1 year left on his contract. It was a pretty easy call to cut bait with him at that point. We weren't going to hand him a huge contract with his off-field history here. And let's not act like teams were lining up to get him. At that time Green Bay was desperate for a RB and Ted Thompson, one of the more respected GMs in the league, wanted nothing to do with him. It created an awkward situation here where we were forced to actually start Marshawn for a few games to showcase him, which really confused our fan base. Seattle gambled and won. Marshawn cleaned up his act and matured immensely - it's the classic "change of scenery" situation. He runs hard every time he touches the ball now. Kudos to him for getting his act together. But let's not pretend our record would be any different with him here.

It's finally here!

Did you watch the Sugar Bowl? I'm by no means writing him off, but he needs a ton of work.

They should bring in some real talent from Lundy's Lane.

E.J. Manuel Don't throw the ball to the Bears And we won't boo you

He didn't pass the eye test

No. The key is aggressively drafting players at the most important position on the team.

Wow

Pshh, wake me up when it's on like a mofo.

Better late than never I guess

Kind of peeved they didn't have any Palmer jerseys in the store yesterday.
