I am not convinced with the "Monsters of the Midway" yet.
Of the 5 games they lost... 3 were to the AFC.
Cleveland
Pittsburgh
and Cincy
The others were Washington and Minnesota (season finale).
Ya, they beat the schizo Panthers, Buccs, and Falcons... Everybody else flat out sucks.
I will wait and see.

I wish it was just accidental bumping... He was trying to take swings at the ref! He didn't connect though.
Usecheck ejected Hokies All-America cornerback Jimmy Williams in the first quarter for swinging his arm at head linesman Al Green. Williams was jawing with Louisville's Amobi Okoye, and Green grabbed Williams to separate the two.
"He never hit the official, but he swung at him twice," Usecheck said of Williams.
During the standard meeting of team captains before the second half, Usecheck said he told the players: "I don't care if I'm out here until midnight calling penalties. This has got to stop."

The Swanie is one of the best places to eat in Buffalo, IMO. I call it my "winter tailgate" because its where I usually go prior to Sabres games.
If you go back, their fries are great, you get a huge plate of them super cheap. They also have the best chicken sandwich in town, I usually get the Greek one but they have a bunch of different choices.
That bar is over 100 years old and it's as Buffalo a bar as you can get. (Which, again IMO, is the highest compliment you give a bar.)
I love that place.
Where is it? I take it is on Swan street. I never been there.
I know my sister would always piss and moan when her ex (I never drank with him... He was a SOB.) would be out drinking after work... I think that is where he would usually be.

The ref was looking away... Yet, gave him a 15 yarder... The ref said after the game (Trib article) that if he would have saw it, he would have ejected Marcus Vick. The ref even APOLOGIZED for not being on top of it and looking away.
Like I said... A total "brat" move, it is so obvious.
-
Thanks.
It was a totally "punk", "brat" type move... Watching it, it is apparent he knew where his leg was and tried to make it look like an accident.
Notice the subtle dig he gives him also.

I posted the article about the ref saying that the whole Hoakie squad was out of control... Especially in the first half.
What about the Hoakie that was flailing swings towards the ref (never did connect though)... He was ejected.
Before the second half kickoff... The ref said that he would be throwing flags till midnight if this crap doesn't get under control!
To say that this doesn't represent the whole VT staff flies in the face of how the refs (I think they were Big 12) said they never heard the amount of trash being tossed around until they did this years Gator Bowl.
Isn't this where (VT) Bruce Smith "learned" his showboating tricks? Wouldn't surprise me if it is culture there... Going way back.
Seems VT is backpeddling and trying to put some spin on an insidious problem.

Disrespectful? How?
The Patriots' QB and the former Bills' QB are not football players? They don't fall under the canopy of football discussion?
I have little to say about the Bills that respected posters on this board have not already covered. But when subjects with which I am more familiar come up - like my team, my team's QB, my team's former QB - I feel more able to chime in and add insight.
And again, I implore you to be more respectful in your interactions with me and others on this board. Rudeness is a black eye on all involved.
I agree with most you say here.
Hasn't "Hollywood Donahoe" become cliche now that TD and Bledsoe are gone?

I think it was week 6 of the 1988 season against Indy at Rich (34-23 Bills) that Harmon made that horizontal one handed grab in the endzone??
Didn't Harmon get in trouble with taking money from alumni while at Iowa?
The negative thing that strikes me about this "character" thing that Marv is saying is that during his first go around, character was sure lacking in some of the players.
Bruce Smith (Drugs, D.U.I.)
Jim Kelly ("Party" boy early on)
Ronnie Harmon (his recuiting issues and alledged gambling ties)
Who was the player that ran a traffic light and killed some kids in Michigan?
I am sure there were other issues.
-
He did the same for the Hawkeyes in the RoseBowl.
When I moved to Iowa in 1992, My boss (from Des Moines)... First thing out of his mouth was... "Don't fret, Harmon did it for us in the RoseBowl." I just laughed.
I was at the game in Cleveland and sat surrounded by Brown fans. The thing that strikes me as odd was when the Bills had a comeback against Indy at Rich (I think it was that year or the year before)... Harmon made a spectacular one hand grab while going horizontal to the ground in the endzone... Then this happens in Cleveland!
Eff you Ronnie!

I guess scouting anyone on the VT Hoakie squad is out of the question?
I can't post the link for the Tribune's article about what the refs said about VT and what went on vs. Louisville... They would have thrown Vick out if the ref saw it. The refs apologized for missing it. You needed to register... It is an eyeopener about the Hoakie squad and (Marcus) Vick... Just like his sleeze-ball brother, A.K.A: Ron Mexico
- are you referring to him stepping on the LBs leg and grinding while they were talking to his brother in the stands - he should have been thrown out
Here is today's article:
Vick may be done at Va. Tech
By Norm Wood
Tribune Newspapers: Newport News Daily Press
Published January 6, 2006
BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Virginia Tech will suspend quarterback Marcus Vick for an undetermined number of games next season if he returns to school, according to two sources within the athletic department who asked to remain anonymous. The suspension is the result of Vick stomping on a Louisville player's leg in the first half of Monday's Gator Bowl.
Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer will meet with Brenda Boddie, Vick's mother, and Vick to discuss the player's options Friday. If Vick doesn't accept the suspension, he will either have to transfer to another school or turn pro.
In order to gain immediate eligibility next season by transferring, he'd have to go to a Division I-AA or lower level school. Vick said at a news conference Dec. 29 that he doesn't plan to enter the National Football League draft in April.
This is the latest controversy for Vick. The school suspended him for the 2004 season after convictions for reckless driving and marijuana possession and because he was convicted in May 2004 of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Vick, 21, re-enrolled at Tech in January 2005. He won the starting job and led the Hokies to an 11-2 season.

You know what I mean.
Something about being buried alive is a terrorifying thought no matter how many people are innvolved.
Yet, in the grand scheme of things we can say things like: "Heck, more people die in Detroit, MI by random gunfire than in Iraq."

I think The Dean should get credit for this one... A few days ago didn't he post something similar?

Good opine.
The question is what exactly has changed in managing a football team in the last 8 years that is different than the previous 8? I mean on one hand we want experience (which I believe Marv has). We want accomplishments (regardless of any of our dumb a$$ opinions, he is in the Hall of Fame. Many football experts consider him one of the greatest football men of all time).
So what radical improvements have been made in the last 8 years? It's not like Marv only knows student body right or the wishbone.
Isn't there talk about possibly getting rid of the cap?
Not sure where I heard that?

heading to New York to save your sorry arses. Makes me want to put down my son's BurnOut video game, get off the couch and do the same...
DING! Oh wait, my HotPocket is ready!
Hint: Marv Levy (and some other Skokie/North Chicago natives
) naysayers, this is your attempt to take the heat off them and flame me!Hint 2: Last time Marv left WNY, the internet was just starting to soar. Interesting to see what his intelligence will bring to the masses?
Hint 3: There should be enough subtle stuff in this post to keep you guys (and gals) going.
Hint 4: Ya, this is a stupid attempt at levity. And yes, I gave you 4 hints.

On another note:
KBR... Heck they can do everything... OC, DC, ST, etc... They do everything now, and isn't football "war."
Then they can bring back the slogan:
"Kill 'em, Burn 'em, and run!"
Sorry, couldn't help but get a stupid political dig in.

I hear you brother!
They keep shooting down my permit. I think it is the constantine wire? Next time, I am gonna leave that part out.

Or did he?
TC was still in the league as of this year:
Some "dandy" stats though... But, still in the league for 10 years.

The link doesn't work.
Being a lock and dam operator and enjoy that sort of history, I would like to see it.
