How many Ralph Wilson apologists will remain when the Bills relocate to Los Angeles?
-
Maybe so, but at least we have the Peter Pan link. How many other organizations have that in their back pocket?
It's only appropriate that I show up to post here.
Get well soon, Dareus

I'm sure it's a gadget play, but I guess two TEs on the line, two behind the QB with a FB in front of them.
I'm not saying we need to parrot everything winning teams are doing right now. Gailey is doing the best with what he has. But I just hope the Bills aren't wearing acid-wash jeans and mullets to the party that everyone except this guy gave up.
Guess I haven't figured out how to post pics. That was Michael Bolton in case you were curious.
LMAO well the delivery was poor, but the spirit of your post was excellent! The Bills do always seem to be more than a step behind the NFL. Whenever I think of the post-Homerun Throwup Bills Era, for some reason I think of a grimacing Dick Jauron in a Members Only jacket.

Christina Kelsay.
Debate over. Close this thread, OP.
-
Michael Jasper. End of debate.

In chronological order from the time that each first arrived as a Buffalo Bill:
2001: Moorman
2003: Lindell, Kelsay, McGee
2004: Wilson
2005: Parrish
2006: Jackson, Williams
2007: Scott, Corto, Huggins
2008: Spencer Johnson, McIntyre, McKelvin, Corner, Stevie Johnson, Bell
2009: Watkins, Sanborn, Florence, Hangartner, Fitzpatrick, Maybin, Wood, Levitre, Byrd, Shawn Nelson
I also expect 5 more of these guys to get cut within the next few weeks (Corto, Huggins, Watkins, Maybin, Shawn Nelson).
What's my point? Well, I don't really have one. It's just kind of interesting to see the evolution of the roster.
-
So....Dick Jauron = 40-Year-Old Virgin? Ralph Wilson = match.com? NFL playoffs = watching porn?
-
Wow, great job!
My one and only complaint is that you cut (circumcised?) Wang from the roster. Isn't it a little too early to rule him out? He's a 5th round pick who spent much of his rookie season injured. He's just now getting reps at LT after playing exclusively as a guard last year, and - surprise, surprise - former Pro Bowler Merriman is regularly beating him in practice. How many other players besides Bell can even play LT on this roster? Levitre and...?

My ears are burning...!

For much of this past decade, our TE has been too busy trying to cover up the QB + OL's collective pocket deficiencies instead of running out to catch a pass. No elite free agent TE would dare come here until the QB/RG/RT position uncertainties get resolved. If Fitzgibbons, Urbik, and Pears improve, then you will start to see the receiving numbers of our TE's go up.
-
Canton, Ohio.
-
Where are these guys generally ranked among the free agent list?
Pos, ILB
Florence, CB
Thigpen, QB
Clabo, RT
Miller, TE
Because if the Bills signed these 5 and no one else (aside from the usual training camp fodder), the vast majority of Bills fans would be thrilled. Ebenezer Wilson really can't fork over the money for Clabo and Miller? What about the revenue coming from the Toronto series debacle?

It's possible that RW really doesn't give a flying !@#$ about his legacy. I have no idea what goes through a wealthy old man's head as he approches his final days.
But assuming that he DOES in fact care about his legacy, keep in mind that a big part of it must be tied to the "champion of the small NFL markets" label he's been carrying for all these years. I bet he'd love to stick it to Dan Snyder and Jerry Jones from beyond the grave when those guys realize that his Bills cannot be moved to LA.

Lets not forget,12 individuals saw the evidence(or lack there of) the way I did Sig1. Every piece of evidence has to be observed/digested at its own merit. It would be real easy to look at the whole picture and say Casey killed Caylee, but it has to be proven. The argument the prosecution puts forth has to be proven. You can't look at the whole picture and make judgement If some of the pieces of the puzzle don't fit or are missing. The defense doesn't have to prove anything. Casey didn't ditch the car, it was out of gas. If there was a dead body inside the trunk, ditching the car would be the last thing Casey would want to do don't you think. If the duct tape would have been sufficient evidence to prove cause of death, then the cause of death would have been determined to be suffocation, but it wasn't, and this is coming from an expert medical examiner. The crime scene where Caylee's remains where found was compromised so in my opinion you can't trust anything, including the duct tape.
The cadaver dog evidence was the most compelling because the dogs are not bias, but even then the way in which Caseys car was examined was improper in my opinion. Now had they put her car in a parking lot with other cars and allowed the dog sniffer to identify the car it would have been more credible. You are correct in one respect Sig1, I have never smelled a decomposing body. With that being said, we know Caylee died and decomposed somewhere, but George Cindy and Lee also had access to the car so in looking at the big picture what does it prove? Its fairly safe to say that whatever happened to little Caylee, someone in the family and maybe even more then one family member knew what happened and how Caylee's remains were disposed.
With all due respect I've enjoyed debating,discussing the case with you Sig1(fellow posters) and you are correct when you say my mind is already made up. If its any consolation I do believe Casey killed Caylee Marie Anthony, but I just don't believe it was proven in a court of law.(beyond a doubt)
With that being said Terry Tate, it doesn't take all 12 jurors to find the defendant not guilty
It's supposed to be "beyond a reasonable doubt," not "beyond a doubt." There may have been some doubt that Casey killed Caylee, but this doubt was by no means reasonable. I think those jurors didn't properly understand this very critical point, but then again what else do you expect from Floridians? Casey should have been sentenced to life in prison, but not the death penalty. Anything else was/is a tragic failure of the United States system of law.

If only we had news media reporters who, during interviews with owner Ralph Wilson, were willing to broach the subject of the franchise's future with some tough questions...
If only this were so, then we would have new information to discuss in these Bills relocation threads...
If only...

Why does anyone hate Chavez? There is a lot of propaganda against Chavez, but can anyone say why they would be happy if Chavez was dead? The oil belongs to Venezuela, not Exxon IMO. He is a champion of the poor and not a hypocrite. Why cheer his death?
Yes, exactly. Human rights and political rights are overrated. As are the fundamental principles of human economic behavior. And thanks to Chavez, poverty has been eradicated from his country.

That's fine, Randy but again, population is only one part of the equation.
Wealth is a big part of it too. The per capita income in most of the region is pretty small, I would guess.
Corporate customers are a big part of it too. There is a shortage of corporate customers in the Bills market.
In short, the team sells very little luxury seating (and at below average NFL prices) and our average ticket price is among the lowest in the league.
Total revenues from paid attendance are probably in the lowest 4th or 5th of the NFL.
So in that regard, total market population is secondary.
I completely understand (and agree with) the point you're making, but it is nevertheless interesting to note that the overly simplistic metric of population size happens to be significantly correlated with "NFL-caliber economic vitality."
75% of the NFL (24 of 32 teams) is located within the 26 largest metro markets defined by that list. Kansas City (#29) and Indianapolis (#34) aren't far behind. The Titans represent the state of Tennessee (mainly Nashville and Memphis at #38 and #41). The Panthers represent the state of Carolina (mainly Charlotte and Raleigh at #33 and #48). I already described Buffalo's situation with Toronto and Rochester. Green Bay is an historical anomaly, but they do represent Milwaukee and the entire state of Wisconsin which is kind of like one very large suburb of Chicago (#3).
Population-wise, the Saints and Jags are the only two teams that don't fit this "large population = viable NFL market" idea.
Is there correlation without causation here? I don't know. But it does seem like people tend to follow the money and that the money also tends to follow the people. So in the absence of strong economic data for U.S. cities, population size is a decent substitute.
Sorry about that digression, everyone...
Back on topic: us BUFFALO Bills fans may have every reason to be concerned about losing the team, but there's also reason for optimism. Pegula, Jacobs, Rich, and Golisano have publicly voiced their willingness to do what needs to be done to keep the Bills in Buffalo. Same with Kelly's mystery investor group. There may be others we never hear about (Danny Wegman?). Furthermore, a Buffalo ownership group only needs to worry about funding the franchise purchase fee plus $100 million or so for RW Stadium upkeep (which Albany would likely pay). LA and Toronto ownership groups would also need to worry about a completely new stadium ($1 billion?) plus the relocation fee plus the uncertainty of a new fanbase willing to support the Bills when the team sucks on the field. Finally, the stadium situations with the Vikings and Chargers are reaching a crisis point. If Ralph can hang out for 2 more years, those two teams could very well beat the Bills to L.A.

I thought this was going to be a thread on how Nadya Suleman was off her birth control again.

Some facts to consider in this topic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_United_States_Metropolitan_Statistical_Areas
When you add Buffalo (#47) and Rochester (#51) together, WNY looks more like the size of Pittsburgh (#22). When you add Toronto and the Golden Horseshoe region, the Bills arguably control the 4th largest metro area in the NFL.
Also note New Orleans (#46) and Green Bay (#153), two small markets with weaker economies than Buffalo but still thriving in the NFL.

He fought to live to the end....yet convinced the metally weak to off themselves...and worse, doing so using toxins even the US Prison System banned for being inhumane.
A true fraud and shyster if there ever was one. If he were alive in 1942 Germany, he would have been Mengele's assistant.
Funny how hes a "pioneer" and a "hero", yet those who fight the pro-life fight are "whackos."
!@#$ed up priorities we have.
WEAK?! Who the !@#$ are you?! Chuck Norris? Do you currently have a painful, debilitating illness with no cure? No? Then shut the !@#$ up until you have walked in their shoes.
Kevorkian, like most other rational human beings (i.e., not right wing zealots with double digit IQ's like RkFast), was able to differentiate between an 80 year old terminal cancer patient and a 20 year old college student with clinical depression.
A generation or two from now, Kevorkian will likely be viewed as a lone champion for freedom of personal choice and for human morality at a time in American history when religiosity, judgmentalism, and fearmongering prevailed.

I do like her outfits, but no I do not find her physically attractive.

Can't believe no one has said this yet: Ralph is cheap!
He paid you more than enough, Erik.
Something to consider about Ralph and the Bills

Pegula is "great" because he is at least trying to win a championship. Sabres fans like myself can appreciate that and, in turn, are willing to give him our hard-earned money. Furthermore, Pegula isn't disrespecting the fans and the Buffalo community by threatening to relocate his franchise. He isn't telling us that we need to play games in Hamilton to survive; he knows that once he improves the quality of the product he's selling, sales will go up.
If it wasn't for Lou Saban and Bill Polian, the Buffalo Bills would be known as the most pathetic franchise in pro sports history. The two epochs of 1967-1986 (20 years) and 2000-2010 (11 years...and counting...) are what you normally get with Ralph: incompetence and parsimony.
