Mate, seriously...walk up...this is Melbourne. I'd be suprised if after all that's gone on in Melbourne recently; Com. Games, Grand Prix, AFL (return), Socceroos v Greece that this games a sell out.
Even though, I come from Australia I can tell you that NFis nowhere near OP. I have stayed at the Holiday in...heck, I'd sleep out on Hamered-a-lot's front lawn with the cost of fuel...provided "Buddy" doesn't attack me.
The tale of the tape.
On one hand Mamula's thinking, "ah Crap, what 'til the position coach sees me being blocked by Lonnie Friggin' Johnson."
And the other from Lonnie Friggin' Johnson "Holy Crap, look at me blocking the 7th overall pick, Mike Mamula. Wow. Wow. I can't wait to get out of this series and tell the guys."
I kind of got lost in this thread with blue being something other than, well blue.
I don't know if we have this argument if we're 12-4 rather than 5-11. We'll see...
Like, the Bills could get a sick uniform. That'd be, like, totally, y'know, like sick. And then, like I rang that owner from Dallas and he was like, totally mental with the new CBA Ralph reworked. Daddy, I want a Superbowl ring, NOW...
Look, there's no way I'm paying you that much to buy back those Chuck Lester pics with Ralph. Publish them- i dare ya. That's the way it's going to be played.
Slow twitch player. Doesn't push the pocket with strength. Questionable functional strength. Gets pinned by a single block. Stands on the line of scrimmage. Jogs in pursuit. Gets driven off the ball in goal line defense.
Some weeks ago i posted his Olympic weightlifting totals, which for a man of his size and in particular, his potential draft position (#8 Buffalo) were quite poor. Good on him for doing those lifts though. These comments, particularly about "slow twitch" bare that out (...and yes i do know he's a footballer first and formost and thta some folk have No idea how Olympic lifters train). I'd hope to take someone with more power than strength- thus more ability to penetrate and push their ground. The description is pretty negative stuff.
We'll see...
Gibson is the dark horse here but...
It's one gift horse i wouldn't back.
I would be suprised if Gibson pans out. He pretty much became to Detroit what MW did in Buffalo. Gibson ran out his welcome a little more quickly than MW, probably because MW was a #4 overall and Gibson #27. Gibson was a beast at Wisconson, blocking for Ron Dayne...Unfortunatley Gibson will probably = MW in terms of package offered- happy to be 370lbs of potential.

Give me an O-lineman with an Antoine Winfield sized heart, someone who wants to smack heads and drive block someone's ssa back to their own endzone.
This pick wasnt nearly as bad as Parrish though. Taking a 5'8" 165 lb WR in the second round and with your first pick ( Bills didnt have a first ) who will never be anything more then a slot Receiver is just DUMB
Perhaps we have a vision of a league of undersized guys...
Parrish and Corey Moore DE (3rd Round, 2000) are the starters so far...Kind of PeeWee Football for the NFL. Imagine, the stadiums could be smaller, 50 yards would look like 100 with little people playing. Offensive linemen could weigh 250 again. The food bill would be less. They'd occupy less room on a plane...
I am visiting my brother in October and intend to go to a regular season game at the Ralph. Which game would you see if you had to attend either the Minnesota or New England game. I have been to Buffalo for training camp and preseason games about every 2 years since '98 but have always been told i should check out a home Bills game. I went to Buffalo/ Rochester following the 3-13 season- so it's not dependent upon onfield success. Which would be easier to get tickets for?
Thanks
