Somebody help me understand what is going on here. This article of 5/25 really says that we are in the best position to keep this franchise - but it's up to us to build a stadium. And, luckily Cuomo and Schumer will not want the Bills to leave on their watch. So, it looks good for us to get the public funding for the stadium and keep the team. Yet, two days ago, the News had this article with the headline - Cuomo says if new stadium is built, private entities should fund it: http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/cuomo-says-if-new-stadium-is-built-private-entities-should-fund-it-20140523

They definitely messed up the Briere/Drury thing. But, regarding Vanket, it doesn't matter if the Oilers were going to do it or not. I doubt they told the Sabres on 7/1/07, that they were going to do it. Both Briere and Drury were gone by the end of that day. From what I understand, the Sabres didn't hammer out the Briere extension, because they really wanted Drury more. I have to say, I did, too............Another move that looks bad in hindsight.

They didn't have that choice. Briere was already gone when the Oilers pulled this. I bet that's what they would have done if they could have.

If by Co, you mean everybody in Buffalo, you've got it right. The team comes off the President's Trophy, loses it's two captains, and anybody is supposed to be happy to lose it's best scorer for some picks that may or may not pay off many years into the future?

Gilmore Island? I opened this thread thinking it was another rumored spot for the new stadium.

Yeah, I take context into account and don't do revisionist history. Fans would have been in total revolt if they lost a third star that summer.

I don't remember any fans at the time who wanted to let Vanek go. Not after losing the other two.

I wonder what ever happened to The Dean?

We need to get those mofos back for burning down Buffalo during the War of 1812 anyway!

How did we forget about him?

JD Hill for Arizona State Rosie Leaks for Texas?

They have to at least have a Masters degree from said university.

Jay R was good, but not as good as Reggie McKenzie......Kelsay is a good choice - I wanted to avoid using that o linemen from the mid 80s who had a lot of fanfare and was said to just need more weightroom work. I can't even remember his name, but I think he's still working on it.

I love this. I do this crap in my head when I can't sleep - haha Vandy = Will Wilfork Memphis - Derrick Burroughs Ole Miss - Ben Williams Notre Dame - Daryl Lamonica or Jeff Burris Michigan - Reggie McKenzie Iowa - Joe Devlin I'm sure most of these have been filled in by now

I just wanted to use the same language the writer did.

Did he say that?

I believe this to be true

Yup, and the headline: Jerry Jones speaks truth about Bills

The one part where I do disagree with that guy is that he said he'd never mortgage the future for a non QB. I would - if I had a QB in place...............I hope we do, but it's just hope right now.

It's got my vote!

In other words, it's on like a mofo!

Yeah, he was going out with a much younger Monica Seles. Is that still happening?

Nobody is talking about a QB this year.

Children's only? What about adults?!? Tom is cheap!
