    Where is Thurman?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    His son plays little league football in the same league as mine does. I was working the chains at the game last week, and shooting the breeze with a ref during timeout. I joked about us learning as we go on doing the chains, and he told me the worst parent he'd ever had doing chains was Thurman. He kept chatting with people and the ref had to constantly get on him to move the stick. I thought it was kinda funny!

    Bulldog (WGR) is losing his sh_t :D

    Dickerson was actually pretty good at first, then he started to like himself a bit too much. From then on, he was on a mission to pick a player and trash him up and down, as well as continually hate on management. Doing this caused his ratings to soar, so he kept it up.

     

    Bulldog was pretty good waaaay back when he was on WBEN. He's also pretty good when Schopp isn't on. Schopp drags him down, no doubt about it. I personally don't mind if they go off on occasional tangents, but they do so far too often.

     

    As far as the general hating on the Bills, all I can say is that there hasn't been much positive to talk about over the last DECADE or so, so I can cut a little slack on that. After all, they have to talk about a generally crappy team daily from training camp until the season ends, and then around draft time. Until this year, they've also had to watch guys like Maybin, Whitner, and McCargo make up your first round picks. How positive can you be under those circumstances?

    If you don't understand the basic math it is one thing, but starting in with the vulgarity is not useful to the conversation.

     

    fallacy -

    –noun, plural -cies.

    1.a deceptive, misleading, or false notion, belief, etc.: That the world is flat was at one time a popular fallacy.

    2.a misleading or unsound argument.

    3.deceptive, misleading, or false nature; erroneousness.

    4.Logic . any of various types of erroneous reasoning that render arguments logically unsound.

    5.Obsolete . deception.

     

    What is vulgar about the term?

     

    I mentioned in an earlier post that you might have a point in that the strength of schedule tiebreaker might be favorably impacted, however turning a loss into a win, (and this is the important part) while leaving the record alone otherwise (ie going from 9-7 to 10-6) is going to negate the need for a tiebreaker in the first place.

     

    Now, if I haven't hit the essence of your argument, please do enlighten me.

     

    Oh, and please refrain from generic crayons. Stick with a name brand.

    You're telling me that if the Chargers end up in a tie breaker with the Chiefs, they won't be thanking their lucky stars that they lost those games against the NFC teams?

     

    Your assumption is that they win those games at the cost of losing others, which is a huge fallacy. If they had won those NFC games instead of losing them, they wouldn't have to worry about a tie-breaker with the Chiefs because they'd have a better record in the first place.

     

    But of course, you may still have to contend with the plane crash....

    Your 2011 Starting QB per Gailey

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    "As of today..." and like others said, even if we do draft Luck or Mallet or someone else, Fitz would very likely start the season at QB. It's hard to imagine him not starting. Besides, it was an answer to a question posed by reporters, what else could you possible want him to say? "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it?" "Most likely any rookie we draft?" "What has Fitz shown to think he deserves to start next year?" Even if Gailey said something along the lines of "The best player will start next season" reporters and probably you would read something into it and post that Gailey has no confidence in Fitz being a starter when that is clearly not true.

     

    Gailey loves Fitz, and says it all the time. In different ways. In ways that don't show up on the stat sheet. Like completely changing blocking assignments at the LOS on running plays (which he did against Detroit which resulted in one of Freddie Jackson's long runs).

    Wilson speaks

    for those who might not understand the business, a fuller version with direct quotes has been filed and will be moving shortly.

    and for those who like to make cracks, i think you'll find it interesting of what Mr. Wilson had to say in regards to why he takes the full blame and also making comments about his age.

    Thanks, John. I was going to ask if there was anything edited out worth mentioning.
