a late, great wrestling reference......excellent. My older brother about killed me with a 'sleeper hold' a few times.

Honestly....can you imagine big Ted and Pat Williams shirtless? Those guys were dominant. Having said that, the photo was a bit disturbing. It's the rare athlete that can be well over 300lbs and truly be fit. See Shaq. Most are carrying a fair amount of extra baggage...errrr....Boobs. It's absolutely the "bro" that he needs.

let's hope he's not the athlete Vincent "Bo" Jackson was. Bo was notorious for speaking about 'Bo.'

You can throw me under that bus as well. I NEVER envisioned a scenario where Whitner would have been proven incorrect concerning his playoff predicition. Dare I say.... I actually thought briefly about the phrase "home field advantage." THe wheels on the bus have formally come off.

As usual Dean...right on the money. I know center is a tough position but yikes. Is there that much padding back there that you can't determine if another man's hands are in the vicinity? I realize the possibilities for tasteless jokes are endless here but the question is a serious one. That play was a joke.

Nah..leave it alone.

see avatar. success awaits.

Yeah...what he said....and Kas23 as well.

McKelvin...McKelvin....this guy is driving me bonkers. I haven't posted in a while but I had to chime in here. The 'great' returners (see #24) catch the ball and generally pick a straight path to try and get through the first wave of defenders. If they make it through, you (the fan) can't wait for the "cut" to occur and he's off to the races. This is especially true on kickoffs. Worst case scenario is you've gone north/south and picked up as much reasonable yardage as you can. McKelvin seems to be "tip-toeing" after he catches the ball waiting for something to open or as if he's running a sweep. It's pretty rare that a guy actually will turn the corner on a kickoff and not get cut off/tackled. You need to bust it upfield and hope you can pop through. He almost seems scared. I know the above "approach" is a generalization and certainly does not fit every return. Just my few pennies.

As a curveball of sorts, however, you also have to factor in which positions are a premium. We have upgraded our offensive and defensive lines which to me is more important than anything. I firmly believe we can get a decent running back in the draft to go with AT. We don't need man coverage corners though he clearly is a talented guy. LFB is on the wrong side of his career. Spikes is a real question mark. I'd rather spend the cash on the line and have solid skill players as opposed to spending premium funds on wr and corners with no "beef" up front. Having said all that...I concur that it is impossible to "measure" at this point.

Nothing. they are talking Bills tomorrow.

I would agree here simply because every time I see the word sh*t censored I can't help but fill in stevestojan in my head. Classic. As far as current quality I would put Dean and Sketch at the top of my list. Both sharp and usually on the money.

thanks for the info. I'll check 'em out.

I'm guessing that's sarcasm. If not...he had great hands. do you ever recall him dropping a big ball? Their offense was predicated on utilizing the short passing game for ball control. It was imperative he had good hands. His speed was not great; but his separation and route running were impecable. Undersized? Not really. He had great qb's but he managed the same success with both. Steve and Joe probably benefitted more from Jerry than the other way around. Granted he was on talented teams and that will help anyone's stats but he was the biggest reason for their success. Just mho. EDIT: sorry....just saw your comment on Rice a few posts up.

I just read six pages of posts only to find you took the words out of my mouth. To add to the thought....I love when they pull up next to you on the highway with their 4cylinder engine and super loud exhaust thinking it will magically make their car fast. I'd also add Paul Schaffer to the list. I understand he is talented musically. But that voice...."and get your subscription to Ro-o-ling Stone" still burns my ears years later. I anticipate much Canadian fury mentioning him but he just bugs me.

Honestly. Most on this board (not necessarily in this thread) think Phil Collins' career began w/ No Jacket Required. For the record my wife and I danced to 'Follow you, Follow me' at out wedding. That was a little pop cheese s/p Peter Gabriel but at least it was Genesis. Lamb lies down is classic. I concur (despite risk of getting flamed) that styx and supertramp have some validity.

You're referring to "darkness" I presume. Nothing like the UNITY stamp on the forehead.

Congratulations!

He's Rick James bi%ch! Love the Prince basketball skit as well.

I agree to a point. The difference is the other three you mentioned were canned and took an "available job" with another team. They were agruably upgrades at their new position. Mularky got demoted within. A much bigger smack in the mouth if you ask me.

Link? (sorry..I couldn't resist) By the way, I spit soda on my screen when I read your post. Truly LOL.

Great save for your department and completely altruistic. That's leadership my friend. Good for you!

I agree. I've had the firing role a few times myself. Even when it is completely justified, I still felt like I was doing something horrible. Never a good day.
