  1. Here's a kid with a great attitude. After reading this I'm pulling for him to have a nice career (except when he plays the Bills, of course). http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/ravens-third-round-pick-brandon-williams-goes-portable-135958683.html
  2. These two guys were getting some buzz as possible late-rd QB prospects. Dysert went in the 7th to the Broncos: http://www.muredhawks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=26100&ATCLID=207454263 Lalich, as far as I can tell, wasn't drafted and wasn't signed as an UDFA. Suprising, considering that the kid may have had the best arm in the class: http://www.dailyprogress.com/cavalierinsider/football/former-uva-qb-lalich-hopes-nfl-dreams-come-true-this/article_8acc577c-ade8-11e2-b0a2-0019bb30f31a.html
  3. This is what Kiper said in listing him as one of the top UDFAs: CB Nickell Robey, signed by Buffalo Bills What hurt Robey is he lacks size -- at about 5-8, 170 -- and simply didn't work out well enough. Still, the tape shows a competitive guy who was effective in shutting down big receivers such as former Notre Dame star Michael Floyd, who had his worst game of 2011 while dealing with Robey. I have a feeling once Robey gets into OTAs, the Bills will see a guy who competes beyond his size. He's not a star, but he can play.
  4. Thought it was a movie about this DC hero, but that is way cooler! atom.bmp
  5. EJ impressed the team by throwing well in awful weather during workout. That's good news. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9230958/ej-manuel-impressed-buffalo-bills-good-workout-bad-weather
  6. I'm sure this has been mentioned already, but if it hasn't Buddy said that when he talked with Rogers during their pre-deaft visit he addressed his legal issues by saying, "If you want to work for an hourly wage for your life that's available to you, but if you want to play in the NFL you need to take it seriously right now." I thought it was great advice for a young man looking to redeem himself.
  7. Was going to make this point, but you made it perfectly so I'll just say: +1
  8. Funny thing about the draft downgrading is that most of the experts had the Bills taking Nassib or Barkley in the 1st and would have given them a much higher grade if they had. Yet, both of them lasted until the 4th round so if they had been taken in the 1st rd the Bills would have WAY overreached for them. Bottom line is that the Bills got the guy they wanted and f*ck Kiper and the rest of that lot.
  9. I know it's splitting hairs, but can you be the steal of the draft when you weren't drafted? I think steal of the post-draft would be the proper verbage. With that said, I hope the kid becomes a superstar.
  10. I'd have loved to see the Bills do this, but I know they'd: never pick their own QB at the top of the board instead of Kiper's, take a polished WR in the 2nd instead of waiting 'til the late rounds, take a 2nd WR who is the fastest guy in the draft, grab a hard-hitting Safety over a guy Marrone had a Syracuse, take the top kicker in the draft and grab a TE in Rd. 7 who runs like a gazelle. I must be dreaming...
  11. Curious about the "R" in Robert Moses' name. I've never seen a middle initial associated with him. A quick Google search showed no mention of it - even his tombstone says, simply: Robert Moses. Considering what is happening with the parkway named after him in Niagara Falls maybe it stands for "Rip it up."
  12. I offered this in this post back on march 27th: "A new attitude of excellence." I'm looking smarter by the minute.
  13. Marrone sure must not think much of his Syracuse players. First passing on nassib and now Thomas.
  14. 1.) Hearing Roger Waters say, "This one was written when I was the young, fuc*ed up, Roger of Pink Floyd," during The Wall tour a few years back. 2.) Watching Neil Young kick in the bass drum after he introduced "Down By The River" as, "A song I wrote one night when I let the dark side take control" during the "Old Ways" tour (which was all country songs, except for that one moment) 3.) Watching Rickie Lee Jones' band jump off stage and rock the crowd up and down the aisles at Shea's after the singer stumbled off-stage drunk, Jack daniel's bottle in hand, and didn't return for 45 full-minutes.
  15. Nice to see you back posting Aussie. You bring both beauty and intelligence to this board.
  16. Kiper's 2nd Rd. Mock 41. Buffalo Bills Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee They really need a speed option at receiver. Here's your guy. 46. Buffalo Bills (from St. Louis) Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama Takes pressure off C.J. Spiller, but a home run threat himself. Also helps with short-yardage situations.
  17. Just want to echo what many have said here, Scott. I was really bummed when the board crashed, but it just made me realize how much I appreciate the community you've created here.
  18. I'm cool with that just as long as we grab his girlfriend with the 7th we picked up from the Rams.
  19. 7 PM Wednesdays, Ch. 88 is when it's on. Can't find any info on replay times.
  20. Just an update: The Show will air on Wednesday nights througout the season. Tasker will join Jimbo for the first half of the season then Andre will be the co-host for the remainder of the football calander. Very cool national show with a huge Buffalo vibe.
  21. Was I the only one that thought of Thurman while that was happening? Let's hope geno doesn't wear the chip on his shoulder as well as TT did.
  22. The kid needs to hire you as his PR agent.
