LabattBlue

10 minutes into the broadcast and the yelling over the top of each other has already begun.

Much like the NFL pre-game shows which have become unwatchable over the last decade, ESPN has lost sight of the fact that less is more. Young must have thought that there was only 1 person on the set instead of 5. STFU! The often forgotten KISS principle should come into play here. Berman, Kiper & TJ on the main set with the occasional cut away to Suzy, Mort, Schefter and the remote site reporters. Whether Kiper is right or wrong, he is what has made watching the draft enjoyable over the last two decades.

LabattBlue: [typing] I had typed for 6 years & 7 months [he stops and turns around] Young Man Typing Next To Him: Quiet, quiet! He's gonna say something! LabattBlue: [pause] I'm pretty tired... I think I'll stop typing now.

I know it is only a rookie mini-camp, but if the number is retired no player should wear it at any point including rookie mini-camp, OTA's, training camp, preseason games or regular season games.

Don West was unbelievably entertaining when he was pitching baseball cards, etc...

I'm interested to see what the Bills do with Whitner after this year. He will have one more year left on a contract that averaged 6 mil per year. Unless he raises his level of play a LOT, they aren't going to offer him anything close to this in terms of a new contract.

I listen from time to time(mainly listen to Sirius), but not very often. If anything I might listen more if they replaced them with someone else.

Except for Schoop, Bulldog & Simon who is the big money talent they recruited for on air duty?

What a shame. Didn't the NFL Films division take a big hit when the NFL announced some layoffs last fall?

If they dumped S&B and replaced them with Brian Koziol or some other lesser known person either at the station or from the outside, does anyone believe ratings will go down or do people just want to tune into and listen to "Buffalo Sports Talk"(and I use the term loosely when it comes to some of the programming they put on).

Youboty has that same look!

How the heck do you know how Jerry Jones feels right now?

I thought I said this in my post?

...and Mike Williams was viewed as a solid top 5 pick several years back. There are a lot of teams who like certain players every year. Some make it. Some bust. Until he puts on a uniform he is just another 2nd round pick.

What report would that be?

I fixed my post.

How about this for starters... "John Carroll honors alum Tim Russert"

I care. I think Favre playing QB for Minnesota twice this upcoming season against Green Bay is a lot more interesting than Sage Rosenfels or Tavaris Jackson at the helm.

That was a unbelievable finish. Watching the overhead shot on the replay, it was jaw dropping to see what Mine That Bird did coming off the final turn.

I have no problem if you wanted a vet with more experience than Hamdan or FItzpatrick, but what does this have to do with drafting a QB in rounds 4-7?

Stop raining on the parade of Captain Obvious.

Unless the Bills start throwing the ball a LOT more than in recent seasons, Evans and Owens will see the majority of the throws. Reed will be a good 3rd down WR just like in the past and Nelson will have 30-40 catches at most.

As green as Goodell is as the Commish, he is smart enough to know that the SB MUST stay here in the US.
