To be honest MDH--I don't think so. But he spoke at a company sales conference in September (he is acquaintances with a person I work with a lot)...his biggest concern was having time to run his 3 miles in San Fran before he got on the plane home to Chicago..his speaking schedule calls for a lot of travel and some pretty brutal days and he is no worse for the wear...but 9 months of 15 hour days is not going to happen... He joked about his hearing...which is bad---said its a good thing sometimes...

What is looting on Long Island--knocking on the door of the locked Gucci shop???

Marv > Kirk or Picard

Kelly--this will sound like pandering--but have you read Marv's book? The guy's ego is based on successful teamwork not on individual glory--he has based his life on being part of successful teams, knowing his place and providing what he needs to the situation to make everyone better. He is so smart and so capable he can fill several roles. If you need him to be the visionary he can do that. If you need him to be the worker bee/motivator, he can do that. If you need him to be the hard ass, he can be that. If you need him to sell the franchise to a coordinator or free agent--he can do that. He will assess Mularkey's talent and Modrak's strengths--support them--put them into positions where they can succeed and then fill in the gaps. He is an amazing guy. The only place he didn't mesh was in KC where he had a team president between he and the owner and the team President was actively working against him on several fronts inlcuding a QB controversy (Fuller vs. Kinney)...He took programs like Cal and New Mexico, William and Mary with little history of success and made them work--Cal by their own admission, let him go too early. He took the Bills and made them champions -- he molded to what we needed at the time guiding the team with a steady/solid hand while Polian and crew procured great talent. I know a lot of folks believe he had the easiest coaching job in the world..but someone had to make the pieces fit and Marv did. The whole organization gets better tomorrow when this is announced. We have been joking a lot today...but I am honestly somewhat optimistic because we have a master motivator/tactician and human behavior expert back involved.... Just my 2 cents--probably worth about that much...

We are on kind of a recycling track here....maybe Dan Henning, Mike Sheperd and Kevin Gilbride will join him...I just puked on my keyboard...

Englebert Humperdingle--the music is sure right for the age group of the front office.... Mike Heimerdinger - offensive coordinator, born October 13, 1952, DeKalb, Ill.

Oh my God...the clapper---turn on, turn off, turn on, turn off -- The clapper will be installed in every office... (Sorry Mom--I know, I know--no shipment of ravioli this week )

We will only draft Seniors...thats for sure.... (Okay -- I am going to stop now--my 86 year old mother just called and put me in my place)...

Breaking news....another press conference--training camp menu next year will include a whole section of foods that can be consumed by gumming... Sponsored by Motts Apple Suace; Dannon and the Banana growers association...

Horns 42 Trojans 34

Oh !@#$--you know--I knew you were going to come back with this....sh--...I am straight man again for a crap throw...

Playoffs??? Playoffs??? We're laying odds on whether the team president and the new GM live through the season....you are way too high on Maslow's hierarchy of football fan needs...

As usual, pinpoint analysis....

I gather from this and previous posts that VA is of small stature. Perhaps your interest in keeping VA as an acquaintance is that he could conduct search and rescue missions under the couch.....

I thought I heard the following... RW--Donahoe came to my house 7 to 10 days ago and we talked about the future. Reporter: Did he offer to resign? RW--He said it might be best for the franchise if we got a fresh start... Sounds like a resignation offer...

Ralph's tagline...."whatever your dosage, its not enough...."

Don't forget the white, leather tassled loafers baby....senior discounts minimum age is now 75...

Run with it...is this some sort of diarrhea reference....if it is....Depends, "the official disposable undergarment of Bills managment" should be mentioned

If Marv is in this mix--it might be too soon to assume this..

How many days til free agency starts...the decisions are made--lets rock....

GR must have all the pilots greased...

Its the "one thing at a time PR strategy" that is in the NFL "dealing with the media" playbook. Tomorrow is Fire Mularkey day. Friday is new GM day. Concurrent starting tonight, is the Coach search dance starts with the interviews to satisfy the Rooney rule. It all ends with a press conference Monday or Tuesday to announce the new coach....

Man--there goes your Mr. Congeniality title.... If we all agreed, this wouldn't be very fun....

And now we can bring signs as well....

John--I agree with all of this...I just think the whole thing falls apart with a lame duck coach...A fresh start is a fresh start...
