  1. Okay, I don't say much on this board but I do read a lot of posts. My only comment about Tebow is that he reminds me of Joe Kapp. Most of you are too young to remember Mr. Kapp but his label was a "football player" who played quarterback. His throwing motion and ball flight were just ... well ... ugly. He completed 47% of his passes, was unappreciated by every team he was on and yet took the Vikigns to the Super Bowl. He won games - period.

     

    "[He] developed the reputation of being a tough player and a great leader. While most quarterbacks dislike being hit, Kapp was the opposite. He loved to hit and when he took off on a run he’d try to run over defenders ... Kapp is the only player to quarterback in the Super Bowl, Rose Bowl, and the Grey Cup" according to WikiPedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Kapp.

     

    Tebow is a football player who happens to play quarterback and his throwing is ugly but he wins whether it's a national championship with Florida or playoff games with the Broncos. Bills could do worse.

  2. Reporting from Salt Lake City, Utah: Huge Giant's fan growing up in Utica but attended college in Rochester and switch to Bills after my first game at Memorial Stadium in early '70's - I believe. It was a cold, blustery winter's day and the opponent was the hated Miami Dolphins. I sat behind one of the infamous pillars in a blizzard and did not see one play clearly but was hooked for life. Anyone else remember that game? When was it? Go Bills!
