Never fear, Tom Donahoe on the job
bills_fan replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes, back in July. Now its October and the guy isn't working yet. Maybe he'd take a pro-rated deal. Doesn't hurt to ask, and then announce that we spoke with him. At least it would give the appearance of trying. -

But, but, but...they're all his players (except EM), coaches and organization. He's the chef that put this witches brew together. Sorry, his fault this team is where it is right now. Noone else's. The buck stops with the President/GM and noone else. -

Gerald Warren, Courtney Brown, Ekuban etc. sure changed their attitudes in a hurry when they became Broncos. Point is, what we have is not working. I have no idea if Verba would work out with the Bills, you'd think the guy would want to try and salvage his career. Maybe it works out, maybe it doesn't...but at least try. Send the message that you're pissed and will try anything to help out the team. This is not cutting Bobby Shaw, but the players & fans need to know you're trying or else this ship is going down fast. -

Give the guy a pro-rated contract for 9 games and see how he does. Do we have anything to lose? -
Does TD count in that mix?

Ross Verba ever sign with anyone? -
Did we ever consider requiring a Breathalyzer before permitting posting?

Nor, apparently, is it good enough for TD.

I was thinking about this exact point on Sunday. We blew it. Again. Td was wowed by Greggo's lists & passed on Fox and Lewis. Then we get down to 3 coaches, one of whom was a good HC for 5+ years with a team that had no front office, another who won 5, yes, five SBs (with Parcells and Belicheck) two of the coaches in NFL history, and a guy who was OC for a mediocre offense for 3 years and earned the nickname "wicky-wacky" Mularkey because of his penchant for falling in love with trick plays. Who does TD pick... Yes, for whiffing of HC twice, he should lose his friggin job. He's had 5 years to put this together and blew it. The team now has to be almost totally rebuilt. The D is old, we have no oline, all we have is a few decent young skill players to build around. I don't want TD rebuilding it again. He fugged it up. Let someone else have a shot.

very interesting info about spikes
bills_fan replied to granitestatebillsbackers's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I love him!! He does represent everything thats right about pro football. The best signing TD ever made was TKO. I can't wait to see him back in uniform. -
I wouldn't go that far. We lost, but we had our chances to win.

Nice thread...well as a product of a Jesuit Education in WNY, we didn't call it detention, but JUG...Justice Under God. Each day of JUG counted as 3 units. We didn't sit there in a room, but had to perform all sorts of maual labor in the school, such as painting, sweeping, cleaning bathrooms etc. When I gradauated out of the class of 93 students, I was the leader in JUG by a large margin from our graduating class. A couple of notable examples.... CHS had a walk-a-thon raising money for charity every year. So, my junior year, a couple of us get the bright idea that the walk-a-thon takes too much time, time that would be better spent in the pool hall on Main Street, yep the Hippodrome. So, we joined the walk-a-thon with our classmates and started walking. Then, we ditched around a corner and hid out till the crowd passes. Then, we jumped on the new Buffalo subway, headed downtown to shoot some pool. As the stop opens up right in front of the pool hall and we go to exit the car, who is standing there waiting for us...yep, the Dean of Discipline for CHS. 2 weeks of JUG. Senior year took Accounting, it was 2 period before our lunch, which was late around 1 PM. So we'd sit in class each various pieces of our lunch, an apple, chips or even a sandwich while we did the work. The teacher, who was new which was the only reason we got away with it that far, finally got fed up with it and said "There will be no dining in class." Well, we didn't think we were dining, but figured we'd show him what dining was. So the next day, I bring in a big bag to class, as the teacher starts his lesson, my buddy pushes his desk so that its facing mine. I then proceed to pull out a cloth tablecloth, cloth napkins, two plates of Mom's china, crystal wine glasses, silverware, a candleabra and candles and some leftover steak and potatoes from last nite's dinner, along with some grape juice. We proceed to set the food out, light the candles, pour the grape juice and dine while discussing the day's lesson. Even the teacher got a kick out of it, even though he said he had to give us JUG on principal. 6 units - Dining in Class Junior year, class trip to visit LeMoyne Jesuit College. We end up staying at the rectory. Big mistake. The priests failed to lock their liquor cabinet. We raided just about every bottle, trying some stuff that I didn't even know existed. We're completely bombed and hid the empty bottles in the suspended ceiling or filled the Vodka bottles with water. Monday morning comes around, during the announcements the Dean would call down the students he wanted to see (ie You were in trouble and he knew about it). He saves my name for last..."And finally I need to see Dan XXX in my office immediately, and Dan you'd better start sweating." 1 month of JUG including 3 summer Saturdays. I can continue...but nothing we did was malicious, just for fun. We were also the only ones who had an actual smoking lounge established for us where we could go smoke cigarettes without reprisal. Basically, the Dean was sick of catching us on school grounds and giving us JUG for smoking. He realized we weren't going to quit, so established a smoking lounge for us inside the school. It was a nice perk.

Is the Ralph turning into the Meadowlands?
bills_fan replied to duey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I did say most people. Fortunately, I haven't been in any fights in a stadium or outside of it. Just some good-natured back & forth. Knowing your personality (As much as you can from a message board), it would seem like you were just in the wrong place, wrong time, and encountered a jerk or two. -

bills_fan replied to duey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've been to many NFL stadiums and I have always worn my JK jersey, and Bills paraphanalia. Don't be a jerk and people generally leave you alone. If you conduct yourself with class, most people will not give you a problem. -
This summer I took off the doors, dropped the top & took it to the beaches on Long Island. Great time. Did a bit of off-roading in it in Mass when camping this summer, but don't want to scratch it up. Ahh the Rocky Mountain Edition....I ordered mine in Feb 05, before I knew about the RME. I love the fenders, painted to match. Had I known, I would have ordered one myself. Tinted soft windows...I like that. The hard top is nice, but I see your point with only the softies. Besides, if you only have the softies, you have the cooler 1/2 doors. I had to get the full ones. The upgrade I've been looking at is Leather Seat Covers. I wished I could have ordered the seats in leather or even vinyl, much easier to clean when you have a 140 lb husky that rides around in it with you during shedding season. Barberi orinally made leather seat covers for MOPAR, but it was only for the 97-02 models. I'm trying to find out if the seat design changed in 02, or if it would fit my 05. Not sure yet. One thing...automatic tranny??? I'll check it out and place an order in the next couple of weeks. I'd just as soon order thru you guys than the pro shop on BB.com, and support a Bills Backers chapter. Maybe we should do something like this at NYCBBB. Hmmmm, I'll have to talk to Matt & Matt.

OK it was my comp. I see the magnent for your car. Now, what's the deal? This company donates $$$ to MS on your behalf for every purchase? Is that it? I have to buy a bunch of Bills stuff (Baby edition) so if you guys are getting something for this, I'll order thru you.

It was, of course, your mention of the Wrangler's package and my mention of topless that got him all excited. I have an 05 Sport, 6 cylinder. Red, Manual transmission, dual tops, 30" alloy wheel group etc., I upgraded a lot of the standard items. You? I'm trying to load the BBVA, fan shop, getting error on page message...hmmmm my computer or your site. Probably my comp.

Those are awesome. I wish I had those decals. They really look sharp on the Wrangler. I had to content myself with the NYS Bills license plate. Let me tell you, I've been keeping an eagle eye on my Wrangler this week for fear of idiots after we smoked the Jest.

I can assure you you will like it. At the opener, my Dad, Godfather, my Godfather's son and his two young kids (ages 6 and 8) were there with me and we all had a great time. No BS from drunks either. The section really is worth the xtra money if you want to take kiddos or your wife isn't thrilled with sitting outside in 20 degree weather (she can go inside & warm up). You can have a beer if you want and the 1/2 time food choices are good. Seasons are expensive because of the PSL, but you can always find JK club seat on the net, the paper or simply from a scalper. I've never had a problem buying seats there. In a year or two I'm going in for a split with a good friend who nows lives in Pittsburgh, we each get 4 games and we'll split 2 seats. We had no questions about where we'd go...JK club. -
That was you? I was walking by Hammer's Lot to the Big Tree with my Dad, as a fellow Wrangler owner who also drove topless to the stadium (and paked in the lot that came with our tix) I was a bit nervous. Then I see this great looking blue Wrangler with magnetic Bills decals on the side. I said to my Dad, I have to get some of those. Where did you get those?

That is tough. A tough place to sit for a kiddo. Hell, go to a winter game & use the excuse she may be cold to JK club seats. Just a thought. -

bills_fan replied to duey's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Actually, if you guys want to take your kids, I suggest sitting in the Jim Kelly club level seats. I usually sit there 2xs per season, elsewhere another time or two. The difference is unbelieveable. Maybe its because the tix are more expensive, or because noone is screaming !@#$ and egging everyone on, but its a great environment to take kids to a game. You can still have a beer (unlike the no alcohol seats), if its too cold for the kiddos, they can go inside an warm up etc. When I have a kid & start taking him to games, I'm going in for a split of JK club seasons. Its really worth the price to give your kiddo a great game-day experience. -
So far the MVP of the season is.......
