  1. Was it really that egregious? He definitely got in the way of War of Will, but I don't see how it affected Country House. I'm stunned.
  2. RIP & Thank you for the memories, fuzzball.
  3. Same here. I always watch the Triple Crown races, but the coverage time is obscene. How I miss the days of when these races were on ABC's Wide World of Sports, and the coverage was just one hour.
  4. Thank you @Jamie Nails, can't wait to do this in Las Vegas next year.
  5. Whatever. Let the Cheaters have all of their draft picks, and we will deal with them during the season. I'm more focused on what Beane & McDermott are building here.
  6. Then I will ask you this, do you think that Beane and McDermott have made the correct moves this offseason to improve the team?
  7. Remember week 2 of last season, the Chargers game? Many people here said that McDermott & Beane were way over their heads and should be fired.
  8. It was a massive party. The fans were loving it. Nashville did an impressive job with having that entire area blocked off from all traffic. Smart move by putting the NFL Experience inside Nissan Stadium and keeping it separate from the draft. I was staying at a place right next to the stadium, so I didn't have to worry about driving. Which was good, because I heard that traffic was a pain. Couple that with the other weekend events going on at the same time. I would say that of all the cities that had previously hosted, Nashville & Dallas did it the best. Having it all centralized whereas Chicago & Philadelphia were spread out all over the place. Where Nashville failed, and this is mostly the NFL's fault, was the actual draft. They had this huge constructed amphitheater constructed, but only a handful of fans could sit in it. It would be unfair to compare it to Dallas, because that was in the stadium, but the makeshift amphitheater in Philadelphia was way better than this. They had bleachers outside with no covering, so I got rained on the whole first night. Also they had a live band playing in between picks and the music was so loud that you couldn't talk to anyone. I get what the NFL was trying to do, and they are not trying to appeal to the real draft fans like me. On Day 3 and thanks to @Jamie Nails i was able to sit with the fans in the inner circle. Which was the best time I had. Overall, great job by Nashville as a host city, poor job by the NFL for not having a bigger are for fans to sit and watch the draft. See you in Las Vegas!
  9. On Day 3 of the draft after we had made our 6th round pick, I saw a fan wearing a Sills jersey. I went up to him and asked him, "When is this guy going to get drafted?" He just shrugged at me and said. "I don't know why he still hasn't been picked." I love that we signed him. He will be one to watch in training camp.
  10. I think Neal did alright last year, and he should be given more opportunities. Drafting Jaquan Johnson adds more competition, which is needed.
  11. Game for the ages, incredible series. GO SHARKS!!!!!
  12. No offense to Gary Smith, but I'll believe that when it actually happens.
  13. So you didn't see the Wisconsin game? Yes, because the Bills have such a great history with drafting Ohio players.
  14. Not anymore. Does that make it a little less crowded?
  15. I'll be in Nashville, watching it in the middle of the road at the NFL's makeshift auditorium. This will be my 19th Draft, and my first ever visit to Nashville. Looking forward to it. Can't wait to see how the Draft will look next year in Las Vegas.
  16. Yes..........When his contract expires.
  17. They did. On a short handed goal of all things! WOOOOOH! Wow, Martin Jones was masterful tonight. Game 7 on Tuesday. GO SHARKS!!!
  18. Disagree with you on Seattle. They want draft picks not players. The Bills can afford to give up 2 picks for Clark. Agree with you on Tampa Bay. If they aren't going to pay him and get any decent draft picks for him, they might do it.
  19. Oh, I feel the same way. If they really wanted to focus on the team that's on the closk and what they did in the off season and what they need, they could do it. But they want the spectacle to be more on the players that are drafted.
