If our coaches are half-way capable of getting these players to play, and considering our cupcake schedule, it's not impossible we go 10-6.
Right now, I can't make any predictions. I really feel the schedule is a cakewalk, but I just don't know what we have in our coaching staff and players. If it's more of the "Mullarkey Follies" then it will be a long year.
But I also think that Marv Levy knows what he's doing. I believe we have the start of a great team and great coaching staff. I guess the question is: how long will it take to click?

My question is: How does Scout.com know Nall is impressive? Do they have daily access to OTA's? Do they have any press access to the Billls at all? Or are they getting their information second-hand,, from guys posting at BillsFanZone, or worse yet, from Nall's agent.
If they don't have a correspondant seeing the Bills every day, then I don't take what they write seriously. Especially when they contradict what we've been hearing about Nall in camp all off-season.

What did Marv think of Jim Kelly? He was like a manager at the Pierce Arrow...because he would close the place down every night!

Well how good are the Jets and Dolphns? Despite the Saban slobberfest in the press. The Bills schedule looks pretty easy, especially the second half. IF the Bills have their act even half-together, we could be the "surprise" team of 2006.

Cigarette-smoking man is dead. Expect a Bills Super Bowl win any year now.

The whole doping athletes thing is a joke. I say let them take whatever they want. Let the best chemist win.

Yeah, actually Cassel is pretty damn good. They figured out a way to clone Tom Brady, unfortunately.

There are bars all around Fenway Park...Cask-n-Flagon, Boston Beer Works, Jillians, some rock-n-roll bowling alley who's name I forget. You can even stand on Lansdowne Street and wait for home runs to fly over the Green Monster.
Then again you can just buy a ticket to the game.

I figured it was either on par with, or more popular, than hockey....but not the NBA
"Despite the general lack of interest in the World Cup by the US audience, the soccer tournament is more popular than the NBA basketball championship and the NHL’s Stanley Cup hockey title. Both of those events were being held at the same time as the World Cup."
Que the soccer haters in 3....2....1....
I think you'd find a good number of those "American" soccer fans are recent immigrants. Of course, we are talking World Cup, not MLS. The MLS is still way below the NHL and NBA.

You can never know how good or bad teams will be from year to year. But based on last years records, our schedule looks tough early, but quite easy in the second half. Anyone care to offer a rebuttal? Are any of my predictions off?

I know for most of you, George W. Bush could be found guilty of eating babies and that would be okay. But I have never seen a president threaten the foundation of a nation like this guy has. I think I've seen it all, then he comes up with even more unbelievable stuff. Blah, blah, liberal...blah, blah, war on terror...you'll never convince me otherwise, and I'll never change your minds.

Klinsman is a too high profile coach. Seemed rather unrealistic.
A coach like Cesare Maldini or Gus Hiddink or even the hated Giovanni Trappatoni are types of coaches who like to coach clubs with less known players.
Hiddink won a champions league with PSV Eindoven against an unbeatable Milan squad that actually had Klinsmann as a player.
And in the end, it all gets flushed down the toilet because of some refs call. That's why I can't get into soccer.

I was high school friends with the Kenmore contigent of that band! Kenmore West! They are still around, and play gigs occaisionally in Los Angeles. Bill Manspeaker, the "creator", invested his "one-hit" wonder money wisely, and currently owns/runs a very lucrative computer animaition company based in LA. I think they did one of Michael Jacksons' videos, about a decade ago...lots of music video stuff.
Funny as it may seem, Green Jelly (Jell-O) might be better off, financially, than MJ these days....there is some justice!
I had heard that there was a Buffalo connection with that band. How many members from the ol' town?

While you can hook it up to a home stereo, you need to have your antenna near a south facing to get a signal. In my office in NYC there are many ground repeaters for my XM and I can get the signal at my desk which is far from any window.
The overal quality is not great. Heavily compressed audio on the music channels, talk radio sounds good.
I only have it for talk, Opie/Anthony, I would not invest in one because of the "digital quality".
I once rented a car with XM and was very impressed with the sound. But that was a indash receiver and 6ch sound system. Mine is a deck of cards that broadcasts on an emoth FM channel. And you're right, the sound for music is somewhere between AM and FM. Not that great.

I admit it. I said I would never pay for radio, having spent most of my life in FREE broadcasting. But I caved in and bought a Sirius radio. Why not XM? N-F-L! Want to be able to hear the home team PBP, which I believe they carry. (Please let me know if I'm wrong!) The NHL PBP is reason #2. Howard is a very minor reason.
Day one and I'm digging it. Anyone have experience with Sirius service?

That reminded me of the Yankees/Red Sox 2004 fiasco. 26 world titles can't erase the taste of that mighty choke job.

USA soccer...rated #5 in the world! Oh, really? Could've fooled me. Maybe they mean 5th from last.

Now, now people. Nobody on the Bills deserves to be hated. Kelly Holcomb is just doing his job, which is believing he's good enough to start. I'm not saying he is, just that a pro athelete has to believe he can do it. Otherwise they'd be selling insurance.

If a QB emerges in the forrest and no one is around to hear him, does he makes a sound? Very deep, man.
