When the pick was announced, the cameras focused on some of the Giants fans. It looked like they saw a ghost! ?

Happy Birthday Bruuuuce! I wish you were here now!

True and you are right. I am just basing my opinion on his talent and flashes of excellent ability that he displayed last year.

Just my opinion. Nothing in life is certain.

The only concerns I have with Allen are reading defenses, his accuracy and becoming a complete quarterback. We all know what he was faced with last year. I believe he will do the best he can, especially being a year removed from it...and he has a better supporting cast to help him. I suppose it can be fun to watch the growing pains. Fitzpatrick? The consumate, cerebral, professional quarterback who will give you 200% and manage the game every Sunday.

I believe Allen will be superior to Tannehill and Bortles. No doubt in my mind. Come to think of it, the more weapons he has...the more dangerous he will be. It could get scary!

Yes. Without sounding selfish, we have this tendency to invest so much in another person...we sometimes forget who we are, especially if we feel no reciprocation...it is easy to do. I have had to step back myself a few times and realize how venomous it can be to my life.

Treesweet was an orange juice brand that Simpson endorsed. I don't think they are in business anymore. Being OJ and the "Juice" and all, it was on tv a lot.

Yes. Like we keep saying, Joseph has a very good arsenal of skills. As long as he grasps the playbook and responds well to coaching...he could be scary. As one scout put it, "Stick a $50 bill on each page of his playbook to get his attention!" It is up to him. He can be as good as he wants to be...this is the NFL and he needs to employ total focus on his game.

I can't agree with you more. All of the media centered imagery, commercials and the importance of winning. As much as I can respect New England, it is time for them to go. We all like to have a nemesis or rival in sports, but it has lost its luster. It was never fun in the first place...now it is annoying.

Perhaps unintentional, but a sign of the times.

You mention tacitly pushed, and a really commercial and aesthetic white out as well. During the playoffs, the best games are the divisional and conference championships. The Super Bowl is so corny now.

Looking back, football was even more fun than it is today. We didn't have the internet, draft profiles (unless we bought one of those out dated magazines)and ready news stories. We had to anticipate the coming games much more so than today.

That's right...Treesweet! it was the best...they don't make it anymore. That's quite a story. You and I were around at the same time. I live in Chicago now myself. I have a Bills t-shirt that I am going to wear on casual Friday!

I was ten when OJ ran for 2003 yards. At school, many of us kids had "The Juice is Loose" t-shirts. OJ kept the Bills on the map. The Dolphins killed us on a regular basis until Kelly & Co. arrived. I remember watching games hoping OJ would win one for us. He was larger than life in WNY...making it sometimes difficult to comprehend his later life and fall from grace. Then again, we see this everyday in our culture.

Yes...either way its a good thing. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Yep...kept him in shape during the off season! ?

He used to run straight through the "Steel Curtain"

Absolutely! despite what he has become, he remains my favorite of all time. After 1970, a true modern prototype.

As much as I like Joseph...I would agree with you.

Watch some film of him turning the corner and just taking off past the Steelers. I remember him as a kid. He was electrifying at times.

Didn't a few scouts say that they observed Joseph roaming and creating his own assignments? He has scary ability and I hope he responds well to coaching.

I remember Simpson on the Bills sidelines conducting interviews during the early SB years. He must have been coming apart by then.

Raiders Mark Davis? Sure looks like him...I wouldn't be surprised.

Appears normal to me...nothing wrong with this picture! ?
