Yep, I was one of em. Simply awful that we would not spend a 4th on a 6'9" 3 year starter at LT in the supplemental draft. I wonder if the Bills front office even knows the supplemental draft exists.

Ok, but what were the specific differences with RW? I know that Cookie always felt underpaid and that RW would not cave to Cookie's salary demands. But is there something else?

Care to elaborate on those differences for those of us unaware?

The question is why would anyone buy a house during this period? Just wait for the big dump of foreclosures on the market. No demand, prices fall. Extend and pretend NEVER works. I don't care if it is the value of your home, the "assets" on the balance sheets or the used toilet paper currently occupying the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve. It will work for a while. Until it doesn't. Then...Boom!

Which will, of course, cause even more homes to fall underwater, leading to more jingle mail, more distressed securities etc. I've had the feeling that Barney was in over his head since 2007.

If even 1/2 the stuff in this thread is true, this story is about to go Tiger Woods nuclear.

If I take the train home, the ride home has a bar car. Can't miss that.

I also would love Claussen (although I'm against every other QB in this draft at 9). Gotta deal with LT in free agency. Then we are free to take Claussen or McClain. C'mon Ralph, spend some money.

Except that old, yellow, crinkly piece of paper called the US Constitution that prohibits Bills of Attainder. Don't think this one's gonna fly Obama. http://www.businessinsider.com/obamas-bank...tutional-2010-1

Tim's story never said that Marty wasn't interested. NGU did not say that Marty wasn't interested either. The only difference between the two reports is "who" decided that Marty would not be the coach in Buffalo, Nix or Ralph. No way to ascertain that fact, and really, it doesn't matter. Tim's reporting is very good and I'm glad he contributes here. Also, NGU has proven himself to be a very trustworthy poster. Take the information provided by both and enjoy it. We have not had good, reliable information like this in a long time. Lets try to keep the comments above the belt and look forward to free agency and the draft.

I knew I liked you. Crudele is the 2nd thing I read on Tu/Th. First look at hottie pics to wake up. Read Crudele. Flip through sports. Read WSJ. Thats my train ride in the morning.

No offense intended to Ralph, but c'mon. Lets start with the obvious... Paying Antoine Winfield, Pat Williams and Jason Peters would have been a good start. Letting Pro Bowl caliber players walk out the door and get riches from elsewhere reinforces the notion that all RW cares about is the bottom line, not winning. These guys were long-time Bills and Winfield and Williams (in addition to being good guys) would have taken hometown discounts to stay. Then, we don't spend draft picks replacing those guys and constantly spinning our wheels, never really getting any better. Look at this year....we will spend either a 1st or 2nd round pick or a metric asston of money in the free agent market getting a LT. If we use the 1st on a LT, that means we don't take McClain or Cody. We just make the OL decent, but don't add valuable pieces to our D. If we had signed Peters, then we could have used the pick elsewhere. It was reported that Shanahan and possibly Cowher asked the Bills to make a commitment re: amount of money spent on players. Was Ralph willing to do that? Did he do that for Nix/Gailey? Players make the coach, not the other way around. That said, I agree we are better off with Nix/Gailey than we have been in quite some time.

Amen!

Seriously. In 2010? I can't even believe this is still an issue in the USA. What friggin' backwards people.

Good for #56 in the Chargers jersey, giving the Jet fan's gf his contact info to act as a witness. Not sure if the Jet fan was arrested or merely escorted out of the stadium. Either way, it appears to be BS from that video.

NGU...thanks. Much appreciated, as always. I can't say I'm happy with Chan, I was a Grimm or Shanahan guy. But Nix is a "football" guy, which is what we have wanted all along. The "football" guy chose Chan to run his team. I will give him a shot. Hopefully, Modrak and Nix can put together another strong draft and we can fill at least one big hole in free agency.

It worked OK for the last 6 years of Clinton's term. The nation became obsessed with blue dresses and blowjobs, rather than 22% underemployment and underwater mortgages. I'd gladly return to the late 90s, they seem quaint in a way.

Buddy may have had a hand in a lot of our picks last year. I'm not sure, but if Modrak had not been overruled by Jauron for Maybin/Cushing (or so says the rumor); then last year's draft would have been epic.

Or perhaps we vote for a divided government, giving neither the Republican wackos or Democratic loons enough power to actually accomplish anything. Which is good, because whenever anything is "accomplished" it results in either a loss of civil liberties, higher taxes or both.

Yes, by absentee ballots.

Put Wood at C and let Incognito play RG. Butler plays RT. Levitre at LG. We just need to find a LT. I like our OL better already.

No, not "out," but a little bit of color there would be helpful (to the extent Tim can add any, if not understood). I mean the Marty news is bombshell stuff.

I did. Ordered the white AFL one with "Wood" on it. It looks great.

I second that question. Where did the Marty info come from?

The Jets run a boring offense, they play this weekend in the AFC title game. Pitts won two SBs this decade with a boring offense. Parcells won 2 SBs with a boring offense. I hope we have a boring offense that controls the line of scrimmage and wins games.
