...thought somebody posted here that his father was pushing for it..........

....friend of mine was at OBD the day Ralph pulled the trigger......sent me a text as soon as it happened......he was AJ Smith/Bills West bound period..... Butler Out As GM Of Bills December 19, 2000 / 2:52 PM / CBS/AP Buffalo fired general manager John Butler on Tuesday, saying it couldn't wait any longer for him to decide whether he would be staying with the Bills. The 54-year-old Butler, recognized as one of the best at spotting talented players, was in the final year of his contract, and he was being courted by other teams. News of his firing was first reported by the Buffalo News. "John Butler has been dismissed of his duties as executive vice president and general manager of the club effective immediately," owner Ralph Wilson said in a statement. "The reason for the dismissal is because John has refused to give me an answer as to his future intentions," Wilson said. "The time has come to move forward and therefore I can wait no longer to see who will be the Bills' general manager after this season." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/butler-out-as-gm-of-bills/

.....makes steak tartare look well done...........

......interesting....I'd bet if Horowitz came out with a more damming report advocating prosecution, the Dems would have twisted their "friendship" to have been acrimonious and this a vendetta....

...LOL.....only tag he'd see is............

....equally important IMO is the "brand new" OL being up to the task of protecting Allen......pretty sure Greggy will dial up multiple blitz packages....

....good question bud.......I'm guessing the NFL is self-insured......Excellus BC/BS or similar would have exorbitant rates due to potential for injury and terrible loss ratios......imagine the cost of ACL surgery followed by 9-12 months of rehab.....

...he's on Bills PS, so somebody would have to poach him......

...I'm guessing, but I think as they are under contract, they qualify for same benefits per NFLPA/CBA as active 53 players....

...anybody have Paul McGuire on speed dial??..........> Bojo......

....there was some talented football players in those final 37 cuts IMO...........

...probably will have 7 on the PS........

...is that you Butch??....

.....it will just come "natural" for them...........

...we've been waiting for this...you're LATE.......

...and from NFLN... Terrell Davis-JETS; Wiiliam's pressure D is too much for Allen to handle (Davis called Bills QB situation as "potentially disastrous") MJD-JETS; gut feel (maybe gas?)

..can see why.....good 'ol Terrell Davis has the Cousins led Vikes in the SB........

....LOL.......as expected, NFLN's Terrell Davis (BIG Bills fan-COUGH) already put the "W" next to Jets as did MJD last night.........Davis has referred to Bflo's "potentially disastrous QB situation" when saying AB was better off with Raiders and Carr....YAWN......

...thanks with my apology for missing that......so then Wentz, McCown and PS Lauletta.......

....hope McBeane pulls the trigger on Allen TODAY....wonder why the wait?........we have a major void.......

....any news yet on the punter conundrum?..........looks like at least 3 good options............

would have preferred Lauletta kid...............

...blame the GPS....

...oops...Lions...sorry bro............

...so he could be another failed Logan Thomas experiment?...HARD pass.............
