You cannot afford to lose time from work and should be granted immunity!

Don't be a chump. Do your duty!

[drafts]

talk about rewriting history -- sheesh! this takes the cake! butler's 1999 draft was one of the best in his career -- a truly excellent draft.

 

1 - winfield - pro bowl caliber cb for the vikes last year

2 - price - highly productive for the bills and an especially good pick for a second rounder

3 - shawn bryson - still a productive back in the league who had roughly 50 receptions last year for the lions. he would have been a much better player for the bills if he hadn't torn up his knee in his first training camp.

4 - keith newman - productive player in cotrell's scheme and still in the league which is more than you can say for the vast majority of 4th rounders 6 years down the road

4a - bobby collins - didn't pan out

5 - jay foreman - a starting caliber journeyman who led the texans in tackles a couple of years. again, way better productivity than most 5th rounders.

6 - armon hatcher - didn't make it.

7a - sheldon jackson - borderline sub for three years, which is far better than most 7th rounders, who rarely last more than a year (assuming they make the roster)

7b - bryce fisher - 8.5 sacks as starting RDE for the rams last year. 'nuff said.

 

i challenge anyone to come up with a more productive draft by any team in the league in the past 10 years.

How can I say this politely without offending? I'll try this.

I thought John Butler was a blowhard as a GM. I never felt like he had a grasp of what was really going on.

To put it bluntly, he would have made one hell of an Erie County Legislator!! But may he RIP.

 

Anyway after reading your post it gives me a bad taste of Donahoe. Mind you I would say that was a home run draft for Big John.

I dislike TD even more than Butler. But I will say he sure as hell knows how to manage a cap where Butler was absolutely clueless about it.

 

I would like to add that MadBuffaloDisease with the breakdown of TD's 2001 draft equals if not betters this. But TD is looked at by Ralph as much more than a GM and I don't think that will ever change.

No matter what, some GM will always get a lucky breakout player that turns out to be a difference maker. Willis is that kind of gamble, and guess what you heard it here first folks,

 

JP is taking us to the playoffs in his first year as a starter!

If he doesn't, then I've got at least a dollar for anyone who cares to claim it!!! I guess that would solidify TD in my mind and many others.

[Two things from ESPN.com]

The only thing that could hold up the deal now is the status of Henry's contract. He has one year left on his deal, and the Cardinals would want to sign him to a long-term contract before making a trade.

I believe I heard DG say that they weren't interested in giving TH a long term deal and would let him play out the year.

Personally, I think that's bunk but since DG is kind of a screwed up head case, it could be true.

[(OT) New uniforms, blue ice for Sabres?]

I kind of laughed at the idea at first, but then I saw a picture of it in the news and thought well I'm going to one of those two upcoming games so it will be interesting to see.

Then I saw it on channel 2 and 4 during their sportscasts yesterday and I gotta tell ya it looked very cool!

 

As the owner of a High Definition tv I really can't wait to see a game with the blue ice in hi def. I don't know when that chance will come but I would love to see it.

 

The snorting goat painted on center ice looked vivid.

Don't toss this idea aside until you see how much color it adds. If it does nothing other increase ratings when the game returns, so much for the better because they are going to have a very tough time selling the game to anyone who isn't a hardcore fan. This will help.

[Clements to be traded?]

2003 is just the messenger. Then again, I might just be defending him because of the cowbell.

I like the message because we know TD will not pay Nate what Nate (speking in the third person here) will get elsewhere and besides, the cowbell in motion is cool!

Bahhhhhhhhhhhhh

So what? I've been a member for 1 3/4 years and have 8 posts. 3 or 4 of the today even ( also equals loser )

Now who know's what?

[[News] V-Coach - Bills sign QB Kelly Holcomb]

TD butt-kissing kool-aid drinking chumps.

 

Kelly Holcomb, indeed.

Personally I dont like TD, but kool aid drinking chumps is too much for me to accept.

 

Now then, get out of that Jello tree ya fool.

Kelly's a nice deal.

 

Indeed, Kelly Holcomb

[OL MIKE GANDY]

McNally wanted him, so it's fine with me.

This all good with me too. McNally took Parker the dog a long way and I think this guys a hell of a lot better than him.

[[News] V-Coach - Bills sign QB Kelly Holcomb]

This is F'n sweet

I don't expect him to play because I think JP is going to be a stud. But the one thing with JP that we have to wait and see is if he will be durable. That is really far less of an issue now.

If all JP did this season was hand the ball off, we would still make the playoffs because Willis is a stud.

 

Hey Drew, thanks buddy!

[WGR is aggravating me]

I really miss Bob and Puff and that morning team far more than I like Simon and Jeremy. Some of the stuff they do like Take a seat Friday for example is just a rip off of what was One and Gone on Thursdays with Bob.

 

Howard is well, just Howard
