Teams that beat the teams they should beat - that's the definition of a playoff team.

Well said. Some gripe when TD makes moves, then when he doesn't. It shows you the shallowness of the TD haters. Or any haters for that matter.

I've been a manager for about 8 years - here's a few tips: Start out being fair but tough. You can always loosen up a bit later on but it's harder to get tougher if you start out soft. Forget about making everyone happy - it can't be done. Be fair. Be yourself - follow your own style with people. Know that you are on stage all the time as a boss. People watch who you talk & joke with and who you don't. Don't get too close to some people (the suck-ups) & too distant from others. Be willing to LISTEN to your employees. Your employees can't be your friends. Maintain some distance. You can be friendly withour being their friend. If you socialize with them, it compromises your ability to crack the whip when needed. Good luck.

Any fighter from Buffalo is doomed anyway.

If TD had drafted more OL's to be starters, perhaps we would not today have the #2 defense in the NFL. Very few teams have both units in the top 5-10, and if I had to pick one unit to be elite on my team, I'd go with defense too. All things being equal I think you get more wins that way, especially playing in the WNY climate.

Sorry to hear that man. I'll say a prayer for the little guy.

Maybe they wanted to get a look at his current conditioning level (in person). Apparently they didn't like what they saw.

There is NO other reason for not making this deal. TD doesn't put spite or gamesmanship ahead of making the club better. Obviously, he's trying to strike the best deal he can & doesn't feel he's been offered enough value for Henry.

I've got a front row spot reserved for the parade. I hear he's going to be passing out autographed McGahee pictures.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Why is it some fans drool over every schmuck who visits OBD? Why cry about a guard?

My cheapshot meter hasn't moved off of zero. Nothing cheap about these quotes. It's called being honest.

At least we know if he joins the Pats, their SB streak will meet an abrupt end.

Good luck Mike, here's hoping you get better. If it's any consolation, at least you have a solid diagnosis so you know what you're dealing with. Me on the other hand, I've been off & on painkillers & crutches for the last 4 weeks. Been diagnosed with gout, tendonitis and a pinched nerve in my feet. My docs have no clue.

Makes me wonder why I actually clicked on the link and spent 3 minutes reading this.

This idea came after how many drinks? I'm sure the players union would sign right up!

Well, they didn't go out of their way to sign DeMulling or Womack, so I guess you're right. An in-house solution must have been the back up plan all along. No pressure Mr. McNally...

Runner's what? jockitch? The apostrophe isn't needed there, there's no possessive. Wasn't this covered in 3rd grade? Sorry to be a grammar nazi but it's so annoying.

Don't hold your breath.

My email: Mr. DeBenedetti, I am writing to express my outrage at your selfish and ignorant decision to ask the Buffalo Bills to forego a $3.56 million dollar payment for maintenance of Ralph Wilson Stadium. How dare you take it upon yourself to take such a foolish step? According to news accounts, your thinking was that you were obligated to explore all possible ways to reduce the Courty's budget shortfall. Instead of attacking a time-honored Buffalo institution that gives so much back to the community, and one that is so much a part of the hearts of WNY'ers, you chose to flirt with the possibility of giving the Bills a perfect excuse to leave town. I find that to be the height of idiocy. Why not look in other areas of the budget before taking such a foolish step? Have you considered looking at the bloated Erie County bureaucracy? Surely action in this area could yield much more savings than the paltry $3.68 million you are trying to recover from the Bills. According to Buffalo Business First, the Buffalo-Niagara area has a ratio of only 21.4 citizens to each public employee. By comparison, the Chicago area has a 189:1 ratio; Phoenix has a 191:1 ratio, Portland has a 138:1 ratio, Rochester has a 90:1 ratio, and San Diego has a 131:1 ratio. Do you see any opportunities for savings here? Yes, there would certainly be economic consequences to cutting public sector jobs, but what is the economic impact of losing the Bills? According to the Greater Buffalo Partnership, Buffalo Bills Task Force, in 1996 the teams’ gross economic impact, reflecting total economic activity resulting from the Bills presence in the marketplace was estimated to be $111.5 million. The Bills employed 1,664 people, and total direct expenditures by fans were estimated to be $31.5 million. Beyond the mere economic impact, one cannot measure the psychological devastation WNY'ers would suffer by losing the Bills to another city. With this type of impact, doesn't the prospect of seeking to recover less than $4 million from the Bills seem extremely short sighted? I am pleased to see that the Bills treated your letter with the response it deserved and redirected it to Mr.Giambra. Quit playing with fire, leave the Bills alone and and start doing the work of the people by reforming Erie County government. Sincerely, TheBillnut

Thanks Cablelady! I hate when people do that.

Uh, contrary to what your ego tells you, I don't keep track.

I'm sure RJ is just chomping at the bit to come back to Buffalo.
