Stanley Lombardi

While it might not be the SEC, at least it's the southeast.

Thanks, Chuck.

I was thinking of him as the kind of guy who "somebody else" finds in the 4th or 5th and I wanted the Bills to get there first, for once.

But there seemed to be an inordinate number of long balls in the mix.

Thanks, Bandit.

While most of the board is dueling over LeRoi's preposterous rumor concerning EJ, I thought it might be refreshingly realistic to consider a mid-rounder who might have that certain savoir faire... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GJWShVXihk Good size, great speed, and a quick release (or so it seems to me). What do you think?

Tim Graham is a bitter man with non-discernible writing talent. But he spouts all the politically correct nonsense one must spout in order to stay employed at the Buffalo News. In short, he sucks so he sucks up for a living.

Isn't 'redemption' reserved for issues a bit weightier than millionaires throwing bad passes in games?

Agreed. Peyton puts up formulaic yards in a pass-happy era, but Kelly is a superior QB.

As I said, I haven't posted in a decade. So you can tell that I don't get out much. Last time I posted, "WTF" meant "Way Too Fantastic." So has anything changed since then?

I haven't posted in a decade. But I thought that I should thank the Bills (and the original poster of this thread) for naming this great Sunday after me. I don't deserve such acclaim, but I'll take it!

This is poetry. I kid you not.

Spin scum any way you can...you still get scum.

19 & Oh, Buff uh low.

Cablelady and #89. Class and grace are in short supply everywhere. We need them more than they need us.

I met OJ Simpson, walking down the 2nd floor hallway at Lockport Memorial Hospital. He was alone, visiting kids in the hospital. He was dressed in a tailored 3-piece suit and I was surprised by how stocky and strong he seemed. I must have figured that anybody that fast could not carry that weight. I just said, "Hi, OJ!" He had a big smile and a big hello as he walked by. He was a flat-out impressive human being, I thought, until years later I found out he is just another murderer.

Dean, Dean, I really don't deserve such adulation! And your attempt at humor, lame as it was--it ceased to be funny sometime prior to the 5th grade for most of us-- was brave of you, considering the onslaught that your puny ego is undergoing as you attempt to revise your miserable past!

Ah, yes--Thee Olde "I'm objective because I liked them both" ploy. This ploy was the greatest cowardice of all in the days of the Great Buffalo QB Debate. Pathetic. The revision of history concerning this old debate is its greatest legacy. I fall down laughing every time I hear one of these Johnson lovers contort himself into a pretzel to save his face.

They didn't really hate Flutie at first. That only happened when they needed a smokescren to cover their embarassment over choosing RJ in The Great Buffalo QB Debate. When it became apparent that Johnson was a loser, they tried to take the focus off their footbal stupidity by making Flutie's personality the issue. Most of these Flutie choices in this thread are not about Flutie, our last winner, but about the losers on this board. They're still running the old misdirection play. It's been so long ago that most of them have now convinced themselves it was about personality from the start. It wasn't. So now we've added "self-deluded" to "stupid." Have at it, Johnson lovers!

Favorite--Joe D. Worst--Billy Joe Hobert

Sorry, bflodan. What a loss that would be. April is a great coach and leader. His enthusiasm is conveyed to the players, unlike loudmouths like Krumrie and, in an earlier day, Dickerson.

Bobby April.

According to the Track and Field News website, Moorman's best time in the 110 high hurdles was around the 250th best time in 2005. There were approximately 114 individual hurdlers (some had multiple performances which exceeded his best) ahead of him: http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/toplists/in...al=A/index.html The same website puts his 400 meter hurdle time around the 225th best performance of 2005: http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/toplists/in...al=A/index.html Now unless you can squeeze the numbers 250 and 114 into 50 ( "Both of those times easily place him in the top 50 in the world for any given year," you said above) it seems that you should be mouthing your apology to me, just after you take the crow feathers out of your mouth! You guys are way too easy to beat. You bore me. Bring back the armpit farts, jzmack, but leave the facts alone. The facts just made you look really, really ignorant. Do you practice this "talking out of your ass" trick (as you mentioned above) every night, like you've been practicing it in this thread? Your dedicated practice has made you world-class at this trick, "easily in the top 50 in any given year!" To quote one of your posts in this thread: "I wouldn't call gettin worked up, i'd call trying to heighten the situation... ie.) half of the crap i say on PPP when Holcomb's Arm is talking. My object is to make this person continuously make an ass out of himself/herself." You've made an ass out of yourself. I'm embarassed to see anybody get his head handed to him like you just did.

No ignorance, my friend. Brian Moorman is flat-out fast, and I said so. But he has not taken it to anything near an international level, which is the level this thread has been speaking about. I have a feeling that Brian Moorman would be the first one to double over in laughter if you are thinking of comparing his 110 high-hurdle ability to Olympic-calibre hurdlers. Brian Moorman is fast compared to the Buffalo Bills, but slow compared to the world. That was my thesis--that football players are only big fish because they compete in a relatively small pond. Thus, you have unwittingly gone a long way towards proving my thesis, as have most of the replies to this topic. So, thankyou, jzmack. Thankyou...one and all. Now, jzmack, who's "proving some ignorance?"

Wow! Upsetting your cherished assumptions was great fun! But the cat does get tired of toying with half-dead mice after awhile. Not one of you has pointed to any recent American team victory internationally, which is exactly what my point was from the start... So, sayonara for now. But before I go, you guys have proved one thing. While the American athlete is an also-ran internationally, the American intellect, if represented by your replies, can't even find its way to the starting line. Your replies have descended to the intellectual level of armpit farts. But armpit farts are also great fun. So, thanks!
