  1. Tasker really is pretty good, if you give him a chance. Hated him as a color analyst on CBS games, but he is good on the radio... Personally, I liked the idea of Jones...a younger guy, who has played in this era of Bills football. In Austin (where I live), Ricky Willaims has a weekly show during the football season...he has had guest co-hosts. Aaron Williams did a few shows with him...he was pretty good. Wouldn't have minded hearing him on the JMS...but I am good with Tasker too. He knows he leauge well...and he knows Buffalo.
  2. It took a long time, but I think Donald Jones get better and better, and brought an edge to the show that it severly lacked when it was just Murphey. I also think Tasker is really good as a radio host, than as a tv broadcaster, in my opionion. Both Jones and Tasker helped bring out Murphey's personality quite a bit, over the last year. When it was just Murph, it was hard to listen to. I also think Tasker is pretty well connected in the modern NFL (becaue of his CBS work) it will improve the show. I don't think many NFL cities have a local radio show, year round, devoted to their team. There is a good reason for that...there just isn't that much to talk about sometimes. Honestly, I think Bills fans are being a little hard on the show...you don't have to listen every day, but take some comfort in the fact that it is there when you need a Bills fix. I live in Cowboys and Texans territory...they have nothing like this year round.
  3. Not so much who they play (the games are meaningless, as you may have heard), but seeing the dates kind of puts the new season fully into focus. I don't care..but I don't "not care" either!
  4. Yeah...I feel your pain. I was fully expecting a long playoff run for the Celtics...now I will watch, just happy if they can pull out a series. They may be able to beat Milwaukee...maybe. Just such an abrupt end to what had been such a fun season. If it comes down to it, I can root for LeBron...but it doesn't excite near as much as a Celtics run might have.
  5. Yeah, I know...was still holding out hope that he might be ready by the second round of the playoffs. I really have enjoyed watching them so much this year...just such a gut punch. I really thought they were a shoe-in for the ECF, at minimum...now, anything past the first round will be a real achievment. Sucks that the two guys who were supposed to be the cornerstones of this new era of Celtic basketball (Gordon and Irving) go down. Oh well, that is sports...no guarantees. I suppose I should take solace in the fact that Stevens has been able to develope a hell of a bench.
  6. Welp! The dream was nice while it lasted... Kyrie Irving out for the playoffs... http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/celtics-kyrie-irving-needs-knee-surgery-out-for-playoffs/ar-AAvvYzo?ocid=ientp
  7. Of course they do...its Trumps home shopping network.
  8. One of the first adult reactions to the Russian interference we have seen...it will be interesting to see how far daddy lets him take it...Bolton better keep in mind, he doesn't have the job just yet...FOX has other people who can do the job too!
  9. They say that when people have body odor, they can't smell themselves....
  10. Poor Jim. It almost sound as though he is going the Roger Ebert route, with his treatment.
  11. Definitely not one of my favorite Bills of all time, but Flutie was/is the best QB of the post-Kelly era.
  12. You got it backwards on Maro... he had three elite level seasons, and then fell off the map in his 4th season...missed only one game in Buffalo. Do some of you even watch the games? 39 sacks in 3 years is hardly "not good".

  13. Technically, they traded for him...it was before the days of true fee-agency in the NFL. He was only a Bill for about half a season, on maybe, the most gawd-awful teams they ever fielded. I had season tickets then...you know, Vinny actually moved the ball...but they just couldn't score. Trivia: he did throw Andre Reed his first TD pass! I liked Quinn Early.
  14. I don't disagree on some of that...but he won more than he lost, and he, personally, made a lot of plays to win games. He wasn't so great in his third season...I just think he would be far, far down on any list of Bills "worst FA signings".
  15. Stupid post. I am no Flutie fan, but by what criterion do you judge him a FA mistake? Not a big fan of his personality, but he wasn't all that bad on the field for two years, and provided us with some of our better memories, in the post-Kelly era.
  16. You know, Mike Williams was not worthy of a #4 pick...if he had been drafted in the 3rd or 4th round, his career likely would have not been judged as harshly...he wasn't completely useless..even spent some decent seasons with the Redskins after we let him go. JP wasn't great (obviously) but he started some games, had 2 or 3 decent outings, at a position that we all know is hardest to fill. Maybin was pretty much a waste too...but he never really got on the filed while in Buffalo. When he went to the Jets, for a minute, he made a few plays. McCargo did absolutely nothing, for anyone, ever, at the NFL level. Though, in fairness, I think he may have recovered a special teams fumble, one time. The Bills kept him for the extent of his contract, becuase he was too cost prohibative to release. He was really terrible. If you recall, he was Mario Williams college teammate...lesser draft analysis experte were saying McCargo was mostly responsible for Mario's success in college...the Bills bought into the hype. He was never strong enough, or tough enough, to play at the NFL level. Most experts saw him as a 4th or 5th round pick at best. Even after Buffalo released him, he couldn't make it out of training camps in Chicago and Tampa Bay. I might give you Maybin as being worse, but part of my criteria for McCargo being worse revolves aroung the fact that when the topic of "worst Bills 1st round picks" comes up, McCargo is rarely mentioned..not becuase he was just okay...but because nobody remembers him.
  17. It's going back a little, but Joe Panos was the Derek Dockery of his times. An interior linemen. We signed him to a hefty contract, from the Eagles around 1997 or 1998. He was often injured, and just flat out terrible when he was healthy.
  18. Which is the case of most of the free agenst signed during the Whaley era.
  19. I will always say, John McCargo was th worst 1st round pick of the Bills, sine 1980... and we traded up to get him
  20. Before he fell off the map when the Rex error started, Mario Williams was pretty fun to watch.
  21. There are none so blind as they who will not see.
  22. Trump is as big a crook who has ever inhabited the White House. His only core political philosophy seems to be "pay to play". His womanizing is the very least of his problems.
  23. Sure, the best way to ensure that the crook doesn't get into office, is to vote for the sociopath, who happens to be as big a crook as you can imagine. You should probably reassess your voting litmus test.
