He's not guaranteeing a win, he's asking a question "Would it be wrong for me to say...." I think he knows the answer to his own cowardly question.

Ding Ding.. a winner!

After all these years, I'm now convinced Keith Ellison must have compromising photos of Ralph Wilson.

I suppose I should be more clear. The press needs TO like any other story - impersonal. That's precisely my point about the press. But it still needs stories, and we all think we know what TO is all about. What I mean by adversely affecting "team concept" is that ya, TO can/may/will be a problem. But as a Bills fan, don't we alway hope for the near impossible, deluding ourselves that this is the year. Well maybe some of us don't, but I do. I'm counting on this being TO's first year with us and won't be so disruptive, and Jauron can do some voodoo. It's called irrational exuberance- but sure is entertaining.

Yea, but it's a symbiotic relationship between the press and T.O - they need each other. Owens is a highly competitive, superbly competent glory seeking athlete. I have no problem with that- as long as it doesn't adversely affect "team concept". At the same time the press wouldn't be covering him if he was a 3rd string journeyman no matter how flamboyant he may be. I also don't think the press considers whether to report or not report on a negative story on T.O. because it will do him harm- quite the opposite I suspect.

When I read that, I had to clean the keyboard. Ahhh.. it's going to be a fun season no matter what happens.
