  1. I'd normally agree, but the NFL gets special treatment via the anti-trust exemption as well as receiving taxpayer funds in the form of stadiums/improvements. With that in mind, it gives the govt a valid reason for exerting some influence in some of the leagues business.
  2. At some point, the cap is going to blow up in his face. I feel sorry for whoever has to clean up the mess. I don't think Ralph is going to lend him any $$ to save his sorry butt this time!
  3. I hear ya, man!! Add in a generous helping of Webers, and ya can tie me naked bent over a fire hydrant at a truckstop with a can of crisco on my back!...I mean ya can tie Beebe....
  4. Especially if they are baked beans. What a mess. I wouldn't want to clean it up!
  5. If he wants to play ANYWHERE he may not have much of a choice. After all, nobody seems to be beating down his door. Minimum plus incentives makes sense to me.
  6. If he is coming back with his tail between his legs and humbled by the experience of the past year, then and only then would I start looking at him to see if he can fill a need. No other team has made a move to get him on the roster, he isn't a hot commodity. After the draft and the early June washed up veteran yard sale, we'll see if he merits some attention. I wouldn't object to him coming back, I have the feeling Marv and DJ would make the situation pretty clear that he would need to sing the company song before they give him a contract.
  7. uh-oh...OJ will be pissed. And you don't want pissed OJ......
  8. And with the idea of the team as a whole in mind it is imperative that Marv keep his word and not use the tag as some have suggested. He will lose tons of credibility with his players (and potential free agents) if he reneges.
  9. IIRC, it is still blacked out in the local market regardless of having ST.
  10. Do you guys think it's wise for a Bills cornerback named Nate to bail on the team for a big free agency contract? There's some bad juju in that methinks!
  11. Hey Phil- crack a book sometime. Only 1 NFL team plays in NY. I will grant you, however, that the Jets have the best record of any NJ football team right now however!
  12. Worst of all is now we have to listen to another week of whining from the WGR guys.
  13. I disagree, that one will get called every time. It is very likely that ball is intercepted if the push is not made, it is a very obvious call. I think making it a 5 yard penalty and loss of down would be a good compromise.
  14. Not to mention the fact that most forget Jimbo had a couple of years of seasoning in the USFL before he came to Buffalo, and that he had his moments here as well. I can remember a Reich-Kelly mini controversy, as well as Bill Polian telling the press that if they didn't like Jim Kelly as the starter then they should "get out of town." Of course, time has a way of erasing some of the unpleasant moments, eh?
  15. Hehe, I almost posted the same thing after looking through the NFL.com stats pages.
  16. It's on CBS, so 4-1 like the first two I would imagine. Gotta agree on the consensus that SD game will now suck to watch after getting spoiled on HD. I got a 57" Hitachi widescreen rear projection set last year, and got HD over the summer. I still am amazed at the picture quality, and watching football in HD is the absolute mutts nuts!!

  18. I got HD over the summer, so this is my first season with it. The Pats game looked awesome, I can't wait to watch a win in HD now!! I hear hockey looks great too, hopefully the Sabres get some HD love this season as well, I can't wait to see what a high def Slug looks like!
  19. There is plenty of blame to go around for that loss. Consider the fact that the defense gave up a 93 yard scoring drive, and couldn't stop the running game when it counted. ST were sub-par (which makes me look for a big week against Miami!), and the offense, though improved from last year in many respects, still can't get it done over 4 quarters. What we have here is a work in progress. I expect to see things get better as the season goes on, but I think playoffs are a bit premature and Losman-bashing at this point is way off the mark.
  20. I have to chuckle at that line from a guy who's handle is "Nostradamus."!
  21. He was ok when he first started, but went downhill when he started indiscriminately bashing the Bills. It was funny at times, because one day he'd say one thing, then next day he go off on the exact opposite. Then every time a caller parroted something he had said earlier, he would treat them like football geniuses.
