Is this a rare disease? God bless you..... I would agree...

I think you are undervaluing Denny, Peters, Euhus and the 08, #1--Phillip Rivers should come with Gates...AJ Smith loves Ralph so much it's sure to happen... Great plan..you start tomorrow...5 Years at $1.5 Million a year okay with you? An attractive relo package is included....

1) We are in good cap shape even with potential dead money from Adams, Williams, Moulds, there is still room to spend. 2) We have an owner who is willing to spend... 3) We have a passionate fan base and a relatively easy media market...say what you want about Jerry Sullivan, but the media in WNY is nothing like NY, Philly, etc. 4) You have the chance to be a hero--we are at rock bottom...can you imagine the attention this team would garner if it became super bowl quality again... 5) We have great facilities--practice building is top notch, stadium is super nice after the redo 6) 4 picks in the top 75 (or so it appears) in the draft.. Sure there are some challenges--but there is basically only upside for either an experienced crew looking to resurrect their reputation or an up and coming coach and staff looking for a good situation...this isn't 2000 with no flexibility and having to put guys like Brandon Spoon on the field in desperation because there was no money...this is a team with obvious flaws that can be corrected in a division where the other 3 teams have little or no cap flexibility.... As bad as it may seem right now--the candidate pool for both the GM and the Head Coach job will be deep.

Until I watch the film........ But I bet it will be something about not executing....or next week suspending JP because he looked angry at me when he came to the sidelines once...or....or... SHADUP....

Is this some kind of lame attempt at sophomoric humor--sex--harder-- This would be a penalty on most virile NFL teams--on our team the only one really virile is the 87 year old owner with the 60 year old tennis playing wife....

I am less worried about next week's game being a security fiasco....no one is going to come...

Not in basketball though....Bills over UT-Austin in Basketball...

When the University of Texas at Austin used to have a basketball team...Blue Devils by 30....

Oh sh----guess what we are going to see on fourth and 1 this week...thanks for nothing They will secretly not list Moulds as inactive -- have him lay in wait in the Jim Kelly suite--then 4th quarter--down 2 points--last 2 minutes- 4th and 1-on the NE 10--Mularkey will run this play with Eric lining up as QB--handing the ball to #71 and rolling the other way on a circle route as primary receiver...its the element of surprise baby...

The meaning of taking care of Eric could be letting him go to a contender and letting the Bills gain a lot of cap room......after 10 years of football Purgatory...

This is the best indication yet that TD is a goner...wonder if Lenny is charging him for being his personal search firm....Can you say suck buddies???

yeah but when CTM is right he usually says it in one line not three self indulgent, nonsensical paragraphs....

I wouldn't be surprised at all if something like this happened PIA. When we got crosswise with my mom before my dad came home from work, my dad would arrive as the enforcer..most times he would come into my room, close the door..yell (with a wry smile on his face) and bang the desk a couple of times--I would give the obligatory squeal of pain....and we would both go on our merry way--knowing the world still made sense. Years later when we admitted this to mom -- she admitted most times her banishments and punishments were overreactions... Give me all the stuff about team discipline you want--Mularkey handled this poorly..the coach is supposed to be the best communicator on the team and the peacemaker when players and position coaches argue (which happens ALL the time)..Mularkey should have been the final enforcer in this case and instead he escalated it to a level that appears to be far above the worthiness of the situation. Ralph has to be wondering if Mularkey is a capable leader for this franchise. There is no question in mind that retaining Mularkey will not be a requirement of the new General Manager...

Tedy Bruschi's heart and brain....

God bless you for being right in your prediction. If only Ralph had been reading the board at the time, we all could have been spared this hurtful Old Whitey experience. You could have changed the world for us.......damn the Internet, damn Ralph Wilson for not being on this board, damn, damn, damn...

This may fit in somewhere around #7... Jerry Gray returns to active player status, joining club house lawyer Vincent, the real Lawyer, Coy Wire, Nate Clements as the savvy and intelligent secondary that can't cover anyone....

Your dad sounds like Sister Mary Battleaxe of Our Lady of Perpetual Kid Torture in NT...The nuns at school always took care of dad's dirty work for him in our family...he actually felt sorry for us some days...

One thing I left out -- he did say--Hopefully we will play better than we have....when referring to the last three games comment....

It was very brief Dean.. He said: 1) He met with Eric for about a half hour 2) He considers Eric a friend that has played for the team for 10 years 3) He heard Eric's side and MM's side 4) He feels like Solomon trying to divide the baby 5) Eric would not be ready to play on Sunday because of missing practice Wed and Thursday 6) His decision is to suspend him without pay for one game and then let Eric back on the team for the final three games. There were no questions allowed.

Well the Mularkey and Donahoe joke is ongoing.....but he said there was a camera crew waiting for him at the airport and he snuck away--he said they are probably still waiting for him...

One game suspension without pay.....and our owner has not lost his sense of humor..

Good God--please tell me they are not disrobing a life size cut out of TD in the locker room.....

The adopted home team--the Panthers...who I predict will represent the NFC in Detroit....

Simon hit it...for most families going out is having fun. Paper football, straw wrappers, peek a boo with the little ones are all part of that. Parents need to make smarter choices about where they go... For example--I know that a Chop House or Morton's or other fine dining establishment is not the place for my three year old terror. It would not be good for him--he hasn't learned how to control his temper or manage his boundless energy yet and I don't want to have to constantly discipline him...(by the way--my girls actually did fine at fine dining establishments during their early years). I was the same way at his age... My social commentary on this is a couple of things... 1) We didn't go out a lot when I was young--because we couldn't afford it....we didn't eat dinner together as often as I would like to think we did. My pop worked his ass off--to put food on the table and for our education...my mom worked to help. 2) Our values and our family life were a whole lot different..dad was in his mid teens to twenties during the depression--families still had generations living together--families struggled just to make ends meet--today we struggle to get the flat screen or the video ipod...are we less demanding of kids--maybe/maybe not--I know I am not--basic rules are treat others as you want to be treated and work hard at whatever you do. As I look back, our parents are the ones mostly who instilled the value of doing everything you can to provide a "better life" for your kids than you had--the "better life" part is a lot different today than it was 35 years ago... As to this specific sign in the Chicago restaurant...more power to him..not much different than a sign that says no shirt, no shoes no service...he's not discriminating on the basis race, gender, color, creed, sexual orientation, baldness, etc...just on unattentive parents...

Got it now....thanks CTM...TD deserves a raise and a promotion to supreme prince of the dark side..
