  1. I hereby proclaim Marcus Easley King of Irrational Projected Offseason Hopes.
  2. I mean, he certainly exists. I believe this.
  3. What about 3 or 4 days? Besides, how are you supposed to set the league on fire without spending all your money on girls, booze and gambling?
  4. An amazing natural hitter. The game and the world will miss him.
  5. I understand that he can own the Bills and the Sabres, but can he own the Sabres AND the Bills?
  6. Hogan!!!1 You mean common people.
  7. Therein lies the Browns' hidden agenda: if you fire your HC every year, you never have to deal with the distraction of HBO's Hard Knocks.
  8. Something I hadn't considered about the PSLs in a new stadium: If it's a 60-65K seat stadium vs 73,000, you're talking sellouts most of the time -- unless the Bills are just dreadful. And even then a new stadium usually means a bit of a honeymoon period where there are sellouts regardless. It's going to be pretty easy to sell a ticket now and then at a premium, instead of eating them or taking a loss when you can't make a game. Might be easier than first thought to defray that cost, is all I'm thinking.
  9. That might be an easy way to get cut. They better perform. That said, does anyone remember - didn't Bruce sit out a bunch of time? Problem is, these guys ain't Bruce.
  10. Wow. I know ageism is wrong, but I can't help but be grossed out.
  11. HT to the person who noted that it isn't grammar that's being corrected, it's spelling. But the answer is: So they'll know whom you are talking about. There is no Rodgers Corporation with interest in the Bills (so far as we know). And since it has to actually be a single person, not a company, as majority owner, the name is kind of important. In case anyone cares, Edward Rogers, son of the deceased Ted (who made the Bills in TO deal) is the Deputy Chairman and is on the Board of Rogers. Guy Laurence is the President and CEO of the company. Phil Lind is the Executive VP and Vice Chairman. These are the heavy hitters you would hear about. Ed Rogers is probably the guy who would have the net worth and liquid assets available to make a purchase. His family has a net worth north of 7 billion. All the same, he hasn't been mentioned as particularly passionate about this kind of acquisition in any way. When the Jays are discussed in the media (since they are Rogers-owned) by the higher-ups, it's always Keith Pelley and Phil Lind who are weighing in. This might be meaningless given that baseball teams can be owned by corporate entities while a single person needs to be majority buyer / owner for an NFL franchise.
  12. No doubt. But people like to run with stories even when there is plenty else to reference.
  13. You know, it's funny how he wasn't charged with "getting caught with pot" even though they supposedly had evidence. It's also funny how many people will vehemently defend the right to bear arms but want to judge the guy for having a gun in his trunk. Marshawn has made enough mistakes without having to distort the story, but for some reason that seems to be necessary. I guess it makes people feel better about themselves for judging him -- or for the Bills absolutely getting fleeced in trading him -- but I don't get it.
  14. I'm actually surprised it isn't more, just based on history.
  15. Yup. He needs better mentoring - though I would think that the team here would be pretty good for that. He seems to want to roll with the younger guys though. Still just 25. That is an easy time to make mistakes -- though they really aren't excusable when this much is expected of you (and being given to you). Also, isn't there perhaps a player who is involved with racing on a legit scale? Buy in on a NASCAR team or something...
  16. People take chances on talent. That will happen either until Dareus gets a lengthy suspension, or until he is bested by someone else on the team. If he doesn't have a great showing in TC, I think you have to entertain the idea, but only then.
