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?

Do you have any idea how much money and attention an NFL team brings to its home region?
No, I don't have any idea how much money this brings to the area...enlighten me? How much money does the county dole out to the Bills every year? Ask your breakfast buddy Reynolds these questions and then get back to me. As far as the amount of attention an NFL team brings to an area...who gives a s-h-i-t.
-
I can appreciate Shumers interest in keeping the Bills here, but considering how F***ed up New York State is, I would think there are things higher on the pecking order than this.
Now wonder this state is a joke.
WHEN THINGS DON'T CHANGE FOR THE BETTER, DON'T RE-ELECT POLITICIANS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Agreed
:lol: -
Just because he is more exuberant than others doesn't mean they have any less heart than him. It's different strokes for different folks.
Exactly. I'm not saying Hargrove cannot be a good player for the Bills, but everyone also loved Krumrie because he ran around with a lot of energy and had this great wrestling test to determine what college DT's were draft worthy.
We all know how that worked out.

Howard Simon is talking about that god awful, ridiculous e-mail that has been floating around. You know the one. That one that just won't go away. HS doesn't believe the story. Neither do I. Which is why I will not even specify what that dumb @ss e mail is about.
You don't believe it, HS doesn't believe it, you don't want to mention it by name, BUT...
you start another thread about it!

To those who either know a lot about the subject or have had a Lennox furnace installed recently...
My furnace blower motor is dying. I had two different contractors tell me that considering the age of the furnace(25 years or so), don't bother investing in the cost of a blower($300-400 contractor repair).
My question is...
I have an estimate for a Lennox G43 furnace installed for $2500. Does this sound reasonable? I'm not really interested in knowing if another type of furnace is a better deal(I like the Lennox brand name), just that I am not overpaying for the model I am looking at.
Thanks!!

Remember fatty...DONT EVER say your "out of the playoffs" when you ARENT.

Have to disagree with you on that one. Corey Moore was not asked to play a position different from the one he had excelled in or was drafted for. 'Slash' type players are very rare and don't have a significant impact on any position if they are playing a multiple of them. One example is of Kordell Stewart drafted as a WR, given the chance to become a QB which shortened his NFL career because he could not reverse that sequence. Let CW bulk up over the off-season and let our coaches train him as they did JP - worst case we may have a decent spot-duty MLB. Sheer enthusiasm may ensure he performs atleast adequately in that role.
Corey Moore was just an example. My point is that there are many conference all americans in college who just didn't have what it took to play in the nfl.
-
You're right, because a guy who was a 2nd team all american at stanford, and 1st team all pac-10 at the LINEBACKER position obviously has no talent and no ability to play linebacker.
...and players like former Bills draftee Corey Moore were also GREAT college football players that didn't amount to sh-- in the NFL. Since when does great in college equal NFL caliber player?
-
I never made such claims, but I'd certainly take April's evaluation over a bunch of numbers that you seem to believe holds a great deal of importance.
I've never claimed to be as smart as the coaches, it's just my opinion. To me a guy that has been around as long as he has and has no upside as a starter doesn't have a place on the team.
PS Anyone(not aimed at you) who compares Wire to Tasker or Pike needs to put down the pipe. They are not even in the same league.

ESPN SUCKS...Wait a minute, Jaws said what...the Bills are going all the way....ESPN ROCKS!!!!
:rolleyes: -
He was a first day draft pick as a LB.
He was a college LB who was drafted and projected to play safety in the NFL. He was not drafted with the intent to play LB at the NFL level. He is a fringe NFL player, nothing more, nothing less.
PS To those who like to proclaim that CW is a GREAT ST'er, he was not even 1st or 2nd on his own team in ST tackles.

Haven't been to a concert in many years. Spending that kind of money never knowing the quality or length of performance is enough to make me spend my entertainment dollars elsewhere.
The only exception i would ever make is for Paul McCartney. I've always wanted to see him in concert.
PS Billy Joel is coming to HSBC Arena in April. $85 for all seats except for the 300 level at the opposite end of the stage. Those are ONLY $50.

He's about 187 lbs of piss and vinegar with a size 12 boot, and one of the original originals on this board.
Oh, and did I mention he was opinionated?
Happy Belated Birthday Big Guy.
Size 12 boot with a whole lot of REDASS!
:lol: -
Don't tell that to some on this board, who feel he's a "system qb" who has only luck on his side.
Two words...Brady envy.

Growing up as a kid in the late 60's, I loved going to the Aud to see Dominic Denucci & Tony "Cannonball" Parisi.

Different regimes....TD chose not to pick Steinbach. Steinbach has already proved that he is one of the best at his position for the last 5 years...What makes you think Marv will also ignore him.
I realize it was different regimes. TD chose not to pick him because he is smarter than all the other GM's combined. Marv will not sign him because he is going to command HUGE $$$$.

Has anyone ever installed one of these...

I am looking at putting one in my basement. I would assume that they are safe?
Thanks!
PS For some reason, link won't take you directly to the product. Search for Model # is CGL200TB on homedepot site.

Any day now, rotoworld will report that the world is flat.
The odds of Steinbach being re-signed by the B'gals are nil. They spent big $$$ to re-sign LT Levi Jones and TR Willie Anderson last year. Their #2 pick in the last draft - in anticipation of seeing Steinbach move on - was Andrew Whitworth, G/T from LSU. Also, 2004 4th round player Stacey Andrews (younger brother of PHI's Shawn Andrews) has had several starts at the guard spot.
And the odds are good that whoever signs Steinbach will do so because they want him to play LT...
I agree. The odds of him signing with Buffalo are between slim and none.
PS If the Bills wanted Steinbach in uniform, they would have drafted him several years ago instead of our GM acting like he is smarter than everyone else in drafting a 1 legged RB instead.

I just hope that when all is said and done, Fios ends up costing less than cable for tv and internet.
I wouldn't count on it. I think when all is said and done, the price will be pretty comparable. You may see one company have a promotion from time to time, but if you have a $110 monthly bill for cable/internet currently, I wouldn't expect FIOS to be much lower.
Does anyone have FIOS TV/Internet currently that could share pricing info?

The real indicator is how will he do on the Krumrie wrestling test?
