Wow -- what a steal we got.....
Marv is a genius. Jim Overdorf a master negotiator.
Come on--at least Soprano tries to have a base in reality....what's going on in Nashville today -- the moonshine flowing??
Maybe Brown's agent heard how they gave Kelsay more then he was asking for and decided to try that same ploy.
:flirt: -
Go Niagara. They are in the "play in" game!!!!

You may disagree or be critical of my decisions but as this is america i have the freedom to have an opinion also.
Where did you hear this nonsense?

On the field there was no comparison, you're right. Bruce was awesome. It was a response to the post which spoke about likeability of the person. People badmouth Willis for not going to the OTAs, Bruce wouldnt even come to training camp.
Agreed.
-
Bruce Smith.
Okay...Help me out. What's the comparison between WM and Bruce? Yes they were both problem children, but on the field there was no comparison. Even early on(first 3 years of his career) Bruce was a dominant player, where WM has never risen above mediocre.
-
I couldn't care less what WM said as a Bill or what he says as a Raven. The only thing that matters is that he was a very mediocre RB for the Bills who seemed to get worse not better in his 3 years on the field. Nobody really knows what was going on behind the scenes, but it was clear that he wore out his welcome at OBD. In that regard, two 3rd's and a 7th is a job well done by Marv.
Good riddance.

The amount of money being handed to high draft picks is a joke. Why is so much being turned over to unproven commodities when many proven players who have been in the NFL for 5+ years will never approach those same amounts. Look at the amount of money thrown at Mike Williams. In todays Buffalo News, I read that Donte Whitner is due a 8+ million dollar bonus.
This insanity has to stop. Pay the proven players the money they deserve and let the rookies show what they've got before dumping the wheelbarrows of cash in their laps. I'm not saying they should be signed for the league minimum upon being drafted, but the huge contracts they are being signed to is way out of wack.

I have to get back on the AI bandwagon. I watched all the tryout shows, none of the Hollywood week shows and about 5 minutes since then. No Taylor Hicks type singers = boring competition.
I have to make a point to watch it next Tuesday.

Is anyone else sick of Jeremy White?
I enjoy (or at least used to) listening to Howard Simon in the morning. I don't always agree with his opinions or conclusions, but he generally is well spoken, and fairly rational. Also, unlike many other sports talk personalities, he actually considers an opposing argument instead of immediately dismissing it, provided it has some merit.
Now, the show has de-evolved to Jeremy White screaming at callers and basically taking over the morning show. His co-hosts and callers can barely speak before this guy is screaming like someone is ripping off his toenails with pliers. It's to the point where I'm considering just going back to listening to music during my morning shower and drive.
Is anyone else bothered by White as much as me, or am I in the minority here? (Or, alternatively, does no one really care?)
I've said this from the very beginning when Howard moved to mornings at WGR. Last time I looked it was the "Howard Simon Show".
More Howard and ONLY turn on Jeremy's mike when he is doing 20/20 sports updates.
-
why again did we dump willis given that list of replacements?
How do you know that his replacement(FA or draft) will not be better. After all, the guy did not set the world on fire last year. We are talking about finding a replacement fot WM not LaDanian Tomlinson or Larry Johnson.
-
Someone needs to tell those Ravens fans over at there home that Willis is not LT.
Its like a party has erupted over there.
They obviously don't go to the right boards for Bills fans because there saying that our fan boards are ghost towns. Yeah okay..........
They also are saying that Willis doesn't dance like Jamal did lol. And Ozzie Newsome was talking about Willis being a good pass blocker. Are they talking about the same Willis we know?
The first part of this quote from Ozzie also made me laugh...
"This is a runner who can make people miss [tackles] and has the explosion and speed to take it the distance,"
-
I am so sorry to have ruined your day. Im not worthy to be posting on the same board as you, someone who has never had a bad idea in his life. What was I thinking????
Some day I hope to be as perfect as you!!!!
I was talking about the board in general, but if you want to take it personally, go right ahead.
-
Nice!
Three picks for a guy who was essentially gone anyway after this year?
Good job, Marv.
Amen.
-
I'm sick of Briggs trade proposals(and usually bad ones at that). Where has it been stated that Chicago is actively shopping him. All that was said, is that Briggs is unhappy that they tagged him. Whoop de friggin do! He's not the first player to be UNFAIRLY slapped with the tag and he won't be the last.
PS Note to all these geniuses. If you don't like being tagged, complain to your union leadership who keep agreeing to it as part of a new CBA.
-
What are the Bears going to do with WM? The reason they probably traded Jones is that they feel Benson is ready to handle the job full-time.
-
why wouldnt you be anything but happy and positive? the team is addressing needs at positions we've been begging for for almost 10 years.
sure they could tank, yes its good that authority is questioned in their decisions, no i dont expect anyone to "drink the koolaid" and be talking about a championship. but it seems that the Bills attract fans that like to have something to complain about or naysay just so they can be the first to say "told you so! i am the king of internet cred!"
if you are a Bills fan, you should be happy about last week.
if people dont want to BILL-IEVE than they can go cheer for the Patriots...
(this wasnt all directed only at you Labatt, just generally speaking on the attitude of "fans")
I didn't say I wasn't happy. I said I was skeptical. I'm GLAD that they seem to be addressing the OL and with the length of contract they gave these guys, I would hope that they are more of a solution than past years acquisitions.
All I know is that they gave a lot of money to 2 guys whose names don't seem a lot different from Bennie Anderson, Mike Gandy, Chris Villarrial, Tutan Reyes, etc...
-
Are you related to Peter King
In his MMQB he was very skeptical...Of course he is a boston homer and was all praise for how the Pats signed to Thomas and Kyle Brady and how fantastic is the deal for Wes Welker....and how we overpaid for above average talent..... Why should I be anything but skeptical? Just because we threw millions of dollars at them means they will be good?
-
Now that the smoke has cleared I think it’s safe to say that after over 10 years of waiting they have finally addressed the needs of offensive line in total not just a one “player” patch work. Hats off! I look forward to a much improved offense this year. Can’t wait till fall!
While the $$$ spent makes me want to believe that there will be a significant improvement in the OL play, I will reserve judgement until the season starts.
-
I'm sure there will be a great demand for the strong arm cement feet tough pocket passer with the fantastic passer rating for throws over 10+ yards.
-
Tank Tyler. a true nose tackle. this guy is a beast. put up 42 reps on the bench. he could probably be a second round pick. any thoughts?
The real indicator is how will he do on the Krumrie wrestling test?
-
Considering Denver has a knack for making any RB on their team a 1000+ yard rusher, I'd be surprised if they give up a pick for WM.

Bryant Cut
Bryant is a headcase but i abosolutely love this guy's game. One of the most talented recievers out there, him and Lee Evans would give use one of the most outstanding 1-2 WR combos in the entire NFL. Also i think Dick Jauron's style of coaching might suit Bryant's hot headed personality, plus he would have no national media attention in Buffalo.
Take a look at his track record. Calling him a headcase is a major understatement...
1. Bryant caught 40 passes for a team-leading 733 yards last season, but repeatedly ran afoul of coach Mike Nolan's strict disciplinary standards. Bryant was arrested in November after a wild escapade in his orange Lamborghini, and he later angered Nolan for being late to a team meeting. Bryant ended last season midway through a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy -- and the 49ers decided they wouldn't wait to deal with Bryant's next problem.
2. During a minicamp practice in 2004, Bryant and Cowboys coach Bill Parcells got into a heated dispute that ended with Bryant throwing his sweaty jersey at Parcells' face.
3. Bryant was kicked out of practice by security, sent to anger-management counseling and eventually traded to Cleveland, where he was dropped after conflicts with coach Romeo Crennel despite posting his first 1,000-yard season in 2005.
I'll pass.

So what do you think Schumer, Clinton, Reynolds, etc. should be doing, if anything, when it comes to protecting the Bills?
They can get involved to a certain extent(if things get a lot worse than they are now), but for a US Senator to be pleading that the Bills schedule should be arranged so that they don't have as many blackouts is a joke.
If Bills fans can't sellout the stadium without the help of a favorable home schedule, than the games are not on TV. Simple as that. This is such a big deal that Schumer needs to come to the rescue? Once again, I would like to believe that there are more important issues on his plate.
You quote a lot of estimates, studies and so forth regarding the Bills in Buffalo, but I'm sure there are plenty of cities(the size of Buffalo) throughout the US that are thriving without a NFL football team. Don't get me wrong, I'm a lifelong WNY'er who doesn't want to see them leave, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if they did. That being said, Ralph's posturing is getting old and I'm not sure how much of it, is a case of "the boy who cried wolf", but this is why Schumer is getting all riled up?
The Bills are not moving and Schumer(like every other political hack) is just looking to get his name in the media without accomplishing much of anything.

Marv wants him to get that burst that the great backs have, and Thurman can help McGahee get it.
How so?
