And yet, so many Celtics fans dog him as a GM. One thing is for sure though, after this playoff run, the Celtics are going to have to let somebody go...they won't be able to pay them all. Rozier is earning a huge contract somewhere...love these Celtics...

I don't think Russ was involved with the Sabres when Lafontaine was there...he didn't get involved with the Sabres until after Ralph Wilson passed away. As I recall, Lafontaine was fired in February, early March of 2014, and Ralph passed away late in March. Russ was only a Bills employee at that time.

Or it could go the way of Pat LaFontaines surprise departure from the Sabres...still mostly a mystery all these years later.

Wash, rinse, repeat...wash, rinse, repeat...

I would bet there are thousands of ex-NFL players who would trade post-playing careers with Tasker in a heart-beat. I really think people who hate him as a broadcaster haven't listened to him lately. I completely agree, he was horrible on game broadcasts for his first few years, but he has improved...we all know (I think) that Bills fans are notoriously thin-skinned. I heard Tasker admit, that early on, he was probably harder on the Bills, during broadcasts, than he should have been, because he didn't want the perception out there that he was a "Bills homer". He often stumbled over his words...but he doesn't do that near as much any more... I think the radio show is a good forum for him. I think he has good insight into the "classic Bills" era (and I think he is pretty frank about their failures), knows the current league very well, and he also has insight into the broadcast aspect of the NFL, which I kind of enjoy.

The 3rd of June, another sleepy dusty delta day...

I'd give more for Alison Brie!

Missed Beane, but I tune in now, and they (not even sure who is talking, not Murph or Tasker) are talking about Las Vegas hockey...ugh!

I think he has improved, slightly on game broadcasts...disagree about the JMS show. He injects some energy into the show. He also knows the leauge very well. I think he has improved much in the "stammering" department as well. Lorenzo seems like a great guy, and he has personality..but he really only talks about himself...to me that gets old pretty fast. Ruben Brown is similar in that way...entertaining, but he just kind of commands too much attention, that it kind of takes away from the natural flow of conversation. And, I love Fred Jackson as much as any Bills fan, but what have you heard that would make you think he would be better than anyone else at talking about Bills football for 15 hours a week? It isnt something that just anyone can do. I think people are a little hard on Murphy. I thouhgt his solo show was pretty dull though. I think most radio shows benefit from having two hosts...the quality of the phone calls on the show is pretty low...

Tasker is good. Much better at this than doing broadcasts of games.

It was worse than I might have thought it would be, but I knew the Bucks would win toinight. They looked like a much better team at home...Celtics couldn't match their energy, especially early on.

I've e noticed that on PPP....the vocal majority bends over backwaeds and turns themselves inside out to defend Trump, but they take offense to being referred to as a Trump supporter...

Except you really don't know what they have on him. The Mueller investigation is keeping quiet. Most conclusions being drawn, are from Trumps' reactions...

I would at least give him a look. He was pretty banged up last year...if he is healthy, and still has the desire to play, he is pretty talented. And, in the second half of his career, he has kind of built his reputation on being a "positive" team guy. He does seem to have a decent future as an analyst.

No doubt he wasn't successful in the draft...nobody has been, since Butler. Go back and run your test for the other 31 teams in the leauge, I suspect that Donohoe will rank somewhere in the middle of the pack. As bad as he may have been in the draft, he did well with free agency. The draft is only part of it. I also think Wilson set the team back a decade, by firing him, without an adequate replacement. Love Marv Levy, but he was probably the worts GM of all...Donohoe wasn't always right, but he was agressive about trying to address team needs. I kinda know what you mean, KD. He wasn't a real need (though he was drafted knowing the Travis Henry was one false move away from being a "former-Buffalo Bill"), but if you recall, McGahee was considered a "generational player" before that horrific injury. The injury hurt his speed, but he had a pretty solid career...if not as spectacular as was envisioned. It was a gamble of a pick...probably reckless...but I wouldn't say it ended up as a terrible pick.

I like listening to Mayock, but he is wrong as often as he is right....its' all a crap-shoot!

Bledsoe may have said that in response to Rozier (accidentally I think) referring to him as "Drew Bledsoe" after game 1. I admit, I haven't seen a ton of the Bucks play this year, but it is remarkable how bad they are around the net...the series ain't over yet...I fully expect this to go 6 or 7 games.

Foles will not hold out...he will play out the last year of his contract in Philly, and then hit the free-agent market in 2019. Fingers crossed...

That is the rub....I suspect that you would be sacrificing far less precious draft capital for his services, than you would be for a player who you really have no idea can do the things you want him to do. Anyways, I will be excited with whatever happens...I just don't think signing Foles is the worst idea.

Perhaps...but his development was pretty stunted in St Louis and KC...he finally got a chance to start again, and took full advantage. I don't think a guy plays the way he did in the playoffs, and it is just a fluke.

Believe me, I will be pulling for whoever they put back there... however, I used the term "decent starter" as a minimum for Foles. He has as high a ceiling in the NFL as any of these top 6 prospects do...and we have actually seen him perform at a very high level during his NFL career. I understand the appeal of drafting a guy, believe me I do. But I also understand the repercussions of whiffing on that pick. If one of the big name prospects slides down to #12, I'd be thrilled to get one of them...but man, the price-tag is really high for a game of chance.

Funny, watching the game last night, I was thinking the same thing. And then he goes and hits a 3 at the buzzer...he is your classic bench guy...he'll put up 18 points one night, in limited time, and then, when you really need him to come through, he will get you 5 points. I don't mind him for short stretches, but he was on the court a little too much for my liking... when he and Baynes are on the floor together, I get real nervous.

I am with you, on this particular issue. I feel like we have so many holes to fill...we could really help our roster exponentially by using a bunch of these picks to bolster our roster. Foles, at least, has achieved something in the NFL, and I think there is a better chance than not he will be a decent starter again. Of course, I am intrigued by this years QB draft class, but I don't feel certain about any of them. I think the odds of Foles being good-great are better than any of these guys being a "franchise QB"...and I think he could be had at a much more reasonable price.
