I know it is a cop-out to give co-mvps. but i feel the award should have been given to 4 players. Tim Wakefield, Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez & Derek Lowe for completely shutting down the powerful bats of the cardinals. I do not feel Manny deserved MVP. Heck Damon was more deserving than ramirez(not taking anything away from MR).
Frankly it's pretty hard to single out any one player for MVP. You can make an arguement for a dozen different players. No one in Boston is disputing Manny getting it.
By the way, did you hear that the players voted Nomah a full WS share?

No sooner he's a Red Sox hero, he comes out to support Bush and will campaign for him in New Hampshire today. The man is free to support who he likes, but I don't have to buy what he's selling.

Ah fear...its the way to live!
Well, thats what the Bush administration believes in at any rate. Any time Bush has dropped in the polls, sure enough, we go up to code orange or bright fuscia (or whatever the hell Tom Ridge pulls out this week). Oh, and be assured that Cheney can come out and tell us that Bin Laden has been hanging out with Hussein, and they have built a chemical, nuclear, and biological superweapon...
Sigh, sorry, just had to vent out my political opinions. If Bush gets re-elected, Im moving to Canada. Granted, Im already here for university, but still
It would not shock me at all if come election day, if Bush looked like he was losing, there would be a RED ALERT declared and the election would be delayed indefinitely. I believe Bush and his posse will not give up power quietly.

I think Drew Bledsoe can definitely still play at a hall-of-fame level, in the right situation, which includes...
An all-pro offensive line...
another all-pro offensive line behind the first one...
Make opposing rushers where cement shoes...
Receivers wearing velcro gloves...
Laser guided footballs to correct passes thrown behind receivers...
50-yard end zones...
Allow receivers to catch balls on a bounce...
Opposing d-backs cannot use their hands to defend passes, only their heads...
Lots and lots of prozac.

I agree there are larger problem on the Bills. I just think it sets a bad precedent. You're only opening yourself up for more crap in the future.

I don't have a problem starting WM over TH, but I do think either he or his agent are real schemers. First it's the "start me or trade me" BS, now he's telling the media he's the starter before the team makes it official. These are all bad signs if you ask me.
What's worse is Coach MM is doing political spin by naming both players starters. If I were MM, I would have publicly stated WM got it wrong and that TH would start, even if it meant TH would play one play and WM would gett he rest of the snaps. I would do that to make it clear who is in charge. Now WM knows that he can wrap Coach MM around his finger.
I don't like it one bit.

What a lovable guy! I think it's a telling quote about "bad owner in LA." The NFL is going to hand-pick the guy who will own the L.A. Whatevers. Looks like the McCoombs, Bidwells, Davis', and Irsays of the league can forget about it! I wonder which list Ralph would belong to?

It's becoming obvious that Willis McGahee has a big mouth...he has all the makings of a team cancer.

Ignore it...mock it...but don't pay attention to it...it's too frightening to consider.
Besides, if it ain't on Fox News, it can't be the truth! (whistling in the dark)

Couldn't we pay a guy to break a knuckle on his throwing hand? Nothing season ending...just get him out a week or two just to see if Matthews is better.

Has there ever been a QB more in need of everything being perfect than Drew? Doesn't that usually mean the guy stinks and he needs great players to cover that up?

No one is saying Shane Matthews is the next Jim Kelly. But c'mon! We are arguing whether to bench a guy who is way beyond 'SUCK!" I mean Drew Bledsoe has set the bar pretty low.
The Bills supposedly were going to use a ball-control offense. Well you don't need arm strength, you need accuarcy, and some pocket presence. I see no reason why you can't give Matthews a try. All were doing is waiting for JP to heal anyway. Bledsoe's career as the Bills QB is O-V-E-R!!! Deal with it.

Why is Drew untouchable? Because he was a #1 pick overall, and the Bills traded a #1 pick for him. That's the same logic why Shane Matthews is NOT playing. He was unsigned when we got him, (as logic would dictate...we couldn't sign him otherwise) so we assume he must not be any good.
There are few people (Campy) on this board who think the earth would split open and swallow the Bills if Drew was benched. I think there is a larger fear that Matthews would outplay Bledsoe.

Considering our last few drafts, then compare them to the Pat's drafts, I say sign him up! But if we are up against Miami and NY, we can forget it. This guy will be the top front office free agent. Everyone will be after him.

Because while you, I, and every Bills fan knows that this season is lost, supposedly the players don't. They still have to go out and try to win. What message are you sending Spikes, Fletcher, and the other vets who want to win? What if Matthews is (God forbid) worse than Bledsoe? You can't bench him and go back to DB...you will completely lose the team. "Why should we listen to you? They benched you for the backup QB!" They're walking a slippery slope and are in a no win (literally and figuratively) situation. Benching Bledsoe sends the message to the players that you've given up on the '04 season. When the Bills are mathematically eliminated you will see Losman and not until then, IMHO (unless it's in mop-up duty). Matthews is simply not an option...he's not the present in the eyes of the starting players and he's certainly not the future.
I would say sticking with Bledsoe shows you've given up! And yes, Drew can go back in for Matthews. This ain't baseball. The team is on the verge of mutiny over Drew's play. You're close to losing them now. Playing Matthews may give the Bills a lift. I don't believe the Bills see Drew as the team leader. They see him as their biggest liabilty! A guy who gets a free pass, while players like Travis Henry ride the bench. The scenario you paint is compelling...yet totally unrelated to reality.

Drew Bledsoe will be looking for work after this year. He can be your door greeter. Of course, if the place gets busy around dinnertime, and customers try to rush toward him, he'll collapse to the floor and drop his menu.

We might lose and not score any points...and how is that different from what we have now?
Everyone seems pretty confident that Shane Matthews would not be an improvement over Drew Bledsoe. That opinion is based on his pedigree more than anyone actually seeing him play. Of course, these are the same people who thought Drew Bledsoe was a quality QB!
Losman is not ready to play, but I'm sure sick of watching Blew Dredsoe kill this team week after week. I say start Matthews until Losman is ready. At least one damn game, just to see if it makes a difference! I'll bet they sell the rest of the 7,000 tix for Arizona if the announced Matthews and McGahee were starting.
