I'm not shocked that people freak out. For all we know this guy is a friggin genius.

I liked Season 3 (I'm a Neal McDonough fan) but there was the inevitable let down after the outstanding Season 2 story line, which had one of the great villains in TV history, Mags Bennett (Margo Martindale). Great acting but as a character-driven show, it will rise and fall with them as well.

Nope. I'm not into dudes. Not the crazy girl either.

On TV (ESPN or NFL), they mentioned a 2PM press's conference.

Agree. Though could have waited until the morning of the Super Bowl to completely fly under radar.

You are somehow implying that the timing is suspicious as if the Bills are trying to hide or sugarcoat the hire. Which is nuts or juvenile. I gave you the benefit of the doubt.

I'm pretty sure you are 12 years old.

Spend a little time reading about Marrone.

Or it was announced when the deal got done. What the hell are you trying to say?

I think we will see a lot of this: Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) 1/6/13, 7:20 AM @BillsObserver I don't know Doug Marrone. His resume is OK. But many smart football people are head-over-heels with him. Like Parcells

Agree. Though the well reasoned approach will get ignored here. If so many football analysts, NFL coaches, players and GM's say he's worthy choice, who are we to say he can't do well? For me, Marrone was my second choice behind Kelly, principally because of what inside experts thought of him. I know what the re-retreads have done (and inside reports on Lovie's low ceiling left me less than enthused), so I''m willing to take a chance with Marrone than go with the same old. Bottom line: a few months ago, I never would have had Lovie Smith on my list of coaches, so why should I get upset to lose out on him now?

Same. I moved to MD in 1997. IMO, Ravens are an easy team to root for, passionate/knowledgeable fans, good owner, management, fantastic stadium, etc. I have always disliked the Redskins (the name, the fans, that horrific stadium) but, week after week, I do find myself in awe of RGIII. Not going to happen, but nice to think about an all-Maryland Super Bowl.

See: Patriots

If the guy who represented Pensecola in the 90s isn't a "conservative" then Reagan must have been a liberal. No wonder the GOP is moving farther to the fringe.

Again, one of the best football players (or even sports stars) ever. I'm glad I've seen him play many times. Absolutely electric. If not for the freak injury, he could have played another three years.

One of the best ever at any position. He is universally loved in Baltimore, on and off the field; right up there with Cal Ripkin.

I think 10 minutes a week is about right.

Life is too short to plan my afternoons around a perpetually disappointing team.

Sugar was also a great band. Mould is supremely underrated and under appreciated, and to too many music fans, completely unknown.

Did he kick off a tee? Not sure if they do that anymore.

Chronologically - 1986 - New York Mets (too young for 1969) 1994 - New York Rangers (not around in 1940) 2002 - Maryland basketball Knicks - never (too young for 1973)

I could easily say that Larry Fitzgerald is my favorite football player.

Agree. Ive been a supporter and thought Fitz would bounce back after the rib injury. Instead, I've been horrified by how poorly Fitz has performed. Every QB must suffer through dropped passes, but Fitz simply can't make consistent passes and that really hurts the offense. Unfortunately, there isn't a viable solution, as I don't believe Thigpen is an answer and if Jackson was half-decent he'd have passed Thigpen on the depth chart.

I just called out a half-dozen or more by name. You, one. Bair. Wow. I just put up a few names. You: ZERO.

Of course, the point of all this was to discuss the better, more informative reporters. Still waiting to hear if anyone has better options.
