  1. Unless there's a large number of owners in your league (like 16 or more) I'd have to say that your team is "ok".

     

    At my first glance, it doesn't appear that you have a top-5 player at any of the 3 power positions (WR,QB or RB) IMHO. But as a first timer, just enjoy the season and learn from the experience.

     

    One peice of advice: if your league allows Free Agent pick-ups, pay close attention to the emerging players who went undrafted and snap them up. I've seen a lot of owners who've had average drafts make smart FA pick-ups and do very well.

     

    Good luck!

  2. Although I seriously doubt he will be available, the one name on that list that I really like is Travares Jackson...he is already looking like a little Vickish, but with a much better arm...I think he will be groomed to take over for Brad Johnson.....

    Not gonna happen. Talk around town is that Jackson has already won the #2 spot. The Purple love this guy as their QBOTF.

  3. I didn't say he was a great man, I didn't proclaim him the poster boy for Catholic church, I didn't even say his opinions were enlightened.

     

    He isn't, we shouldn't, and they ain't.

     

    And precisely for those reasons, he sounds like the knucklehead comments in any tavern in town. And right here on this board for that matter. And THAT is why I salute him!

     

    A real man. A real fan.

     

    Join me in a toast!

    One of the greatest Bills of all time...Thurman, I salute you!!!

  4. Sabres just scored again.

    I think it was after goal #5, I said to my wife: "didn't they just blow the foghorn when the Sabres scored?". :P:lol: And then I swear, they did it again after the next goal too! Either it was an OLN thing or the guy at the arena was as po'd as everyone else.

  5. Take a serious look at the brand new Panasonic plasmas. Every review I've read has been stellar and the picture is absolutely fantastic. These new models can now reproduce something on the order or 29 billion colors (that's with a B) and also claim a 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio. About the only plasma that I saw that was as good was the Pioneer elite but they're over $1K more expensive.

     

    One downside is that this year, they've removed the HD cable card so if you're cable, you'll have to buy one seperately. But if you're over-air or SAT, this is not an issue.

     

    You should know that I just "put my money where my mouth is" and bought one myself. Installation is this week but I researched plasmas for about 6 months and have been waiting for this model to come out. A 50" is about $3200 and the 42's are considerably cheaper.

     

    One other consideration: new 1080P plasmas will start to ship later this year and the picture is even better than the current 1080i/720P units out there now but they will be quite a bit more.

     

    Just my $.02...

  6. I'm just putting myself in the shoes of an NFL owner:

     

    1) I vote to let the Bills move to LA and let their new owner reap the benefits or...

    2) I vote for an expansion team in LA that will carry a franchise fee in the hundreds of millions of dollars to be split amongst me and my fellow owners.

     

    Gee, which way should I vote????

     

    Fahgetaboutit. No current owner is gonna get to move into LA. It'll be an expansion team and Tags' last hoorah.

     

    I know this 'cause Soprano told me :doh:

  7. I agree... I can't believe someone started a thread bashing this episode. Apparently a lot of people watch the show to see people get "whacked". I thought it was on of the best eipsodes ever.

    Sorry, but I can't agree. They waited 2 years to put this tripe on the tube.

     

    They got nothin' left and are trying to milk one more season out of a show that pretty much sucked the last season it aired as well. So TS is dreaming about what his life would be like outside the "Family". Doesn't work for me...

     

    No, I don't watch to see people get whacked but this story started out as a darkly humorous look at life inside the head of a neurotic mobster and is turning into Falcon Crest.

     

    Maybe it's because I watched "Good Fellas" this afternoon to remind me what a mob story is supposed to be like. But I was disappointed at the last season and tonight's show looks like last week's episode, which I thought was good, was an anomaly. :doh:

     

    My $.02...

  8. I'm excited. I think he's an excellent coach who had some lousy talent in Chicago. He's got a run-stop the run mentality.

     

    Plus, if anyone can identify who can be a good head coach in the league, it's a former coach who's in the HOF. Marv watched him a lot in Chicago, he must know exactly what were getting.

    Never doubt what Olaf Fub sez...

     

    <_<

  9. Except for the Chiefs' trade for Herm Edwards, every other head coach hired so far this offseason is a first-timer...

    ...If Sherman and Jauron are their top two choices, RCW and Marv would seem to be thinking that some previous HC experience is a GOOD thing. (Either that, or they know they can't 'sell' the idea of hiring a third consecutive novice HC.)

     

    Thoughts?

    Maybe more like:

     

    Been there, done that, bought the tee shirt. So give me an experienced HC as I don't have the time to fool around anymore, I'm 87 for cripes sake!

     

    :o

  10. I think that this is an appropriate topic for a time when the Bills are searching for a new Coaching staff. What, as fans, do we really, really want?

     

    I for one would love to be a fan of a "Great Franchise". One that avoids the peaks and valleys and is in contention every year. I'm a long-time Bills fan who remembers two (and a half if you count the Saban/Knox/OJ years) eras of very good football teams that were strong contenders but eventually broke your heart in the end. Yet the in between years, are really tough.

     

    I'd rather have that shot, that hope, of winning it all every year than to enjoy one season of glory and then submerge back to mediocrity.

  11. Last night was mostly because they play in the dark in edmonton.

    Center Ice feed, direct from the Canadian broadcast, was very good IMO. Didn't notice any poor lighting conditions and in fact, the camera angles brought you pretty close to the action.
