And Beane deserves that much more credit for getting a top of the 3rd round pick from Cleveland for him!

I was listening this morning around 8 a.m. and they had Lorax on. First of all, Weis is a douche. Sorry. Typical "I know it all" NJ guy. Anyway, Vic obviously knows Lorax well and it was a nice interview. Lorax said all the right things about seeing Josh's progression and them being excited about the season. Said they can never replace Kyle's leadership but he's working on getting Edmunds to step into that leadership void because he knows he won't be around forever. Said he liked Oliver's skill set and noted how Star and others are mentoring him. Implied that the OL is going to be much more physical because of the players they have brought in. Gave props to Singletary (who Weis likes a lot) -- said he has already seen how well he sees the field and makes people miss. Also even mentioned Dawson's Creek by name -- the kid must be showing them something. Made the standard "we'll need to see everything when we get in pads" disclaimer.

I won't start worrying about any of these guys (or their injuries) until the calendar reads late July/early August.

This. I have several close female friends who would defend the breed all day long. When I see someone get down in a pit bull's face nuzzling the animal I absolutely fear the worst. I don't trust pit bulls despite the fact I'm a firm believer that dog owners are responsible for most of the problems with dogs. It does just seem to be the case that something "snaps" with that breed unlike any other.

The best comedy comes from dark places.

"Jim, I can barely understand what you're saying...will you please stop mumbling?" Too dark?

Is that BADOL's name -- Scott? That's hilarious, since ScottLaw is the puppy always nipping at his heels for approval!

Thank you Blues. Still hope to keep the Massholes from celebrating another championship.

And, that wouldn’t have happened ever.

So you’ve been a dick for a good long while then? “The delusions of grandeur are strong with this one.” Perhaps you’re laughing at what you think you’re “riling up” around here. Most of us are just laughing at you and enjoying our own fandom.

I just don’t understand this argument. Who doesn’t want more playoff games?

Addition can be challenging sometimes. ?

Good! Didn’t want to see him in Baltimore or Cleveland.

I’d take a locker room full of guys just like him. Dude is competitive as hell and wanted to win. Plus he had talent.

Dude did you even read the post directly above yours?

No, I wasn’t criticizing the thread, I was criticizing the source. All good.

Ahh, that elusive "it" factor...

Straw almost killed me in '85. I had seats down the leftfield line at Shea with my buddies; we were walking out to our seats from the concourse and Straw lit a laser beam foul that hit the concrete directly above our heads.

Nice of the Bills to let Jimbo hang around and humor him...

I didn't dislike Watson and thought the Bills might take him, which would have been fine. It's just frustrating to hear some act as though there was only one "right" choice for how McD (and then Beane) chose to go about things. Here we are, two seasons later, and it appears as though some good things are on the horizon with a roster built the way our head coach and GM prefer. Now, it's on them and the players they chose.

Wait, a college coach hyped his own player? Stop the presses! C'mon, Bill. I'm pretty sure Pat Narduzzi raved about Nate Peterman too.

I don't know why you keep these conversations going. Pay him? He's one of the highest paid players in the league. And he's not a vet of the Cleveland Browns. It's pretty simple -- there are a ton of reasons why it would have been a good look for OBJ to attend OTAs, regardless of whether anyone thinks it means anything in September. Name one good reason for him not to attend, besides the fact that he's not contractually required to.

I'm really tired of everything the Bills do being connected to Carolina.
