You know there is no helmet law in PA, and Ben R was adamant he was not going to wear one.

I was at a draft day party in the Jim Kelly club that day. Place was packed. We drafted MW and later that day traded for Drew B. I tell you the electricity at that party was such that you could make your Bills Super Bowl plans that day. Everyone was HYPED up!!! Who would have thought that actually it may have been the darkest day in Bills history. Of course the 4 SB losses aside

That's for sure. A guy I work with blew the engine on his Corolla at 5,000 miles. He would still insist and argue "other than that, its a great car".

Toyota's definition of this may surprise you also

1984 Chevy Celebrity. Just an incredible amount of repairs, not to mention a Chev dealer that had no morals whatsoever. Conversely, a 94 Taurus, best car I ever had. Other than maintenance, a $50 repair of broken sway bar links for the life of the car. Totalled at 99,000, I bought a 2002 figuring 8 years newer, it has to be better yet. WRONG!!! I almost wonder if Ford put lots of effort into a really good car (the 94), then after that puts lots of effort into taking out cost, and there goes the really good car (the 2002)

I'll agree on 98-02 Reed was the best WR ever hands down. Long & productive career, and you also have to consider team success over the same time. So what if you put up great #'s and you go 3-13 every year. A lot of other WR's mentioned in this thread have the same problem. One or 2 great years, short careers like Butler, or the team stunk (Briscoe/Moses). Golden Wheels was just before my time

You got that right!!!! But it doesn't look right

So what! It is just a number. What can you do about it? Nothing!!! 20, 30 and 40 bothered me more, although 60 will suck. I turned 50 a week ago, got my motorcycle permit Friday, something I promised myself at 40. Too many obligations back then, my 2 sons very young at the time. Now one is 21, the other just about 18. My wife and I re-discovered clubs and bars again, and go out every weekend. Many band take pic's and post them on their sites, we're all over a lot of them. It's great and shows you still know how to party. I share them with my "old" friends at work every Monday. I know deep down they're jealous. As far as kids, well my oldest is out of school, working, but at home Still, a good person. My youngest just put a twist in my life I never saw coming. Him and his band friends put a demo together, and who would have thought, but a label picked it up. In one month they start a tour of the US, at a bunch of clubs, promoting themselves. I'm not sure I like it, but what an opportunity

And you're an idiot if you think RW values winning over $$$

V Star or Suzuki, hard to tell? Did you re-jet with the pipes, or do you have EFI?

I agree with this guy

Why do I sense RW is moving down in the draft so as to move out of having to pay a hefty contract & bonus. With all his crying about $$$ lately, I would suspect he is interested in keeping the club costs down so as to make it more attractive and valuable for a potential buyer Or maybe I'm too cynical & suspicious

Who has a better soup & salad bar than Danny's? Or that chocolate fountain?

22: So 2 priests die, and are in front of St Peter at Heaven's Gate. Because they led very holy lives, St Pete is about to let them in when God comes up to them. God says "it's too crowded up here right now to let them in, in a couple days we'll have some room". St P says "well what do I do with them?". God says "grant them any wish they want and send them back for a few days". So the first priest says "I'd love to be as free as an eagle, soaring over the Grand Canyon" POOF!!! He's gone and he's an eagle. The second priest says "For once, I'd love to be a stud!!!" St P says "well that's a very unusual request but OK". POOF!!! He's gone and he's a stud. Couple days later God says to St P to bring the priests back to Heaven. St P says "well it's going to be tough to find them. One guy is flying over the Grand Canyon". God says "what about the second priest?" St P says "even worse, he's in Buffalo in a SNOW TIRE!!

That was then, this is now

I could definitely see that happening. If he is going to own the Bills 1-2 more years, why pay out $$$ now. Let the next owner pay And to prove all this, look how we've done nothing this off-season with lots of cap room

I agree. It almost makes me think all the Eric Moulds threads were the good old days compared to this

If the ultimate plan is for me to kick in $$$ thru higher ticket prices and/or taxes to make Ralph and his players wealthier, forget it, goodbye, and have a nice life BTW, I am a season ticket holder

I was a huge Braves fan. Once they left, I stopped following the NBA. Whats the point of following something that just betrayed you?

You're right about that. I considered selling my Denver Saturday night game tickets last year of my seasons. Now my seats aren't spectacular, but similar seats on ebay were going for 3x the face value. I thought that could be a good down payment on this season's tickets

By the looks of him, we're only talking a week or 2

So we lost one of our few better players, and who is the last impact 5th rounder we had? 1984 punter John Kidd?

So what? Lets talk results. I don't see anything but a bunch of bodies. Tripplett is OK Player, Pos. 2005 Team Designation Contract Length Matt Bowen, S Washington Other* Undisclosed Andre' Davis, WR New England Unrestricted Undisclosed Melvin Fowler, C Minnesota Unrestricted Undisclosed Craig Nall, QB Green Bay Unrestricted 3 years Robert Royal, TE Washington Unrestricted 5 years Larry Tripplett, DT Indianapolis Unrestricted Undisclosed

The big problem I have with this logic, building for tomorrow, I'm PAYING today for season tickets. I want to see some commitment to winning. All I see is vets cut, Moulds going, maybe JP, what's left??? 1-3 wins next year could be a real possibility because there is no new talent coming in. Before everyone puts RW on a pedestal, talk to fans that go back into the 70's and 80's. Ralph IS cheap, and in those years we consistently lost unless some fluke of events led us to some momentary success. He would not spend for winning then. Now in the late 80's and early-mid 90's, perhaps RW's mindset was that he has made a ton of $$$ in my lifetime, and I'm willing to spend now for a winner. Today, with the new higher cap in place, Ralph is cheaping out, and saving money for his heirs, and Marv is helping him execute it

Well I disagree with this guy. But only a little because he sums it up really well. More like 2011. Marv fired/quits/dies after 3 years. The next guy turns it around in 3 years
