Catholic Guilt

I'm friends of Frank's and you are correct... Any comparsion is insane.

Maybe this will bring the changes we all want. Did Moulds get a catch today?

I met Bill Polian and his sons before during their time in Carolina. He is extremely loyal to the core. He wants to be around his own people. With that being said, he also likes to run things his way. He left Carolina after Daddy Richardson promoted his snot-nosed son Mark to President. He had issues with Mark and didn't feel he deserved the honor. They butted heads numerous times until Bill left for Indy. The next years were some of the worst football Carolina ever played and the boned headed moves affected them for years. Say what you will about the man, but he has a track record of success.

Bring back Merlin Olsen!

SHOW SOME REPLAYS!!!! We heard the morons in the booth tell us Steve Smith pushed off on his 30 yard catch. Do you think we'd see a reply? NOPE Lawyer Milloy blitzs and looks like he got chop blocked. As he is laying on the ground injured - no replay cut to commerical break. I cannot take announcers these days. Am I becoming a prude or does it seem a majority of them are unprepared?

Gotta make some points about the Fox Broadcast of the game yesterday. 1.

I agree. I find myself caring more about my fantasy teams than the Bills. I just cannot believe how bad this team became in just one season. I expect them to lose every Sunday, and that is a sad reality.

Story is getting better. One of the cheerleaders lied about her idenity. Links with video

I can ask Frank Reich when he gets back in town for some incite if you'd like.

Yes - he's one of the nicest people you will ever meet...

This is the 20th year that the Monday QB Club has presented the Distinguished Service Award named for Bills’ owner Ralph C. Wilson, Jr.

Link doesn't work for me. anyone have a mirror site?

Sometimes, it’s amazing what ESPN can do. On Sunday night, they made me HATE Tedy Bruschi. And I do NOT hate Tedy Bruschi. But after watching the four-letter shove 10 gallons of sap down my throat about his comeback, it was official. I hated him. Good job, Bristol Hype Company. You’ve done it again. Look, here’s the bottom line. We are all happy Bruschi has come back. Yes, having a stroke is serious. But it’s not like other players haven’t come back from much worse. In a football sense, having a blown-out knee is much worse. It affects how you play for the rest of your career. Doubt is always in your mind. You are not quite as explosive. Yet from the moment they opened the microphones, the over-wrought schmaltz started flowing. Suzy Kolber, preeningly annoying on her best night, was beyond vomit inducing with a lengthy (actually “interminable” would have been more like it) recap of all the emotional “human drama” he went through with his wife. I took the time while suffering through it, to say a prayer that she gains 50 pounds and is out of television in 2 years. God help me on that one. As if that wasn’t enough, Patrick & Co. slathered the “Bruschi story” with layer after layer of hyperbole, including the ridiculous playing of a song “Hero” with highlights of him making plays going in and out of timeouts. All this, while our boys are still fighting and dying in Iraq. Hero, harrumph. Taped interviews about the subject were run during live action, and more than once over-ran the events on the field. It was as if ESPN were saying: “If we could actually cover up the live video of the game to show you our interview with Belichick without being sacked by torch wielding football fans in a murderous rage, we would.” The game, as always with the Sunday night crew, was a mere prop or backdrop for them to strut their stuff. Hey, look at us! We have production! We have interviews! Us, us, us! It’s all about us! Never mind what YOU, the football fan wants (like, uh, the game) and the usual analysis of what’s happening on the field. No, you need to sit down and listen to US. Because WE say this is the BIGGEST THING EVER! And the next time something else this BIG comes along in sports, we’ll make sure to SHOVE IT down your throats once again. Because WE know, and you are STUPID. Now look at Bruschi’s wife in the stands, and shut up about wanting to see another replay. Because this man, who is a FATHER dammit, is doing something NOBODY has ever done! And THAT’s important, not your stupid REPLAY. I wonder, just wonder, if anybody in one of the big glossy tabled conference rooms in Bristol said last week in a meeting: “You know, we need to be careful not to over-do it on the Bruschi angle.” It seems obvious, the answer is no. But what if they had even MORE planned, before somebody spoke up? Frightening thought. There was however, one redeeming moment of the evening. Long after I had gone to bed, several of you loyal readers of this space, emailed me the priceless Suzy moment right after the game. Bruschi is coming off the field, smiling and triumphant. Here comes lil’ Suz with her microphone and beaming cheeks. And Tedy blows her off. I mean, just walks past her like she was a member of the chain gang. Beautiful. Priceless. Welcome back Tedy. Now shut up ESPN.Czaben's Website

OK I'll bite. Who is Brad?

MY 2 cents sent to ESPN Your coverage of last night's Tedy Bruschi love fest was the worse display of one sided commentating I've seen in 35 years of watching professional football. Time and time again you gusted over Tedy, his wife, Robert Kraft, Tedy's kids and Tedy's dog. It's a nice story, but in case you forgot, there are TWO teams on the field. I thought your coverage during last year's Michael Vick love fest (Carolina/Atlanta) game was bad, but you've managed to top that fiasco. It was unwatchable. How many times did you miss an important play because you were loving on Tedy again and again. Quit trying to be like Oprah and let the game do the talking!

Are you 13?

WOW you are pretty funny! I don't see why your wit is wasted on these boards. You are the next Andrew Dice Clay! Branch out man...

Someone needs a lesson in humanity...

Are you doing drugs? He killed his wife, the mother of his children and another person. Mistake is bringing me iced tea when I ordered Lemonade - not killing people. How quickly we forget...

He left Carolina after only a couple of years. The owner - Jerry Richardson, promoted his son, Mark to team President. That ticked Bill off and he left the next season. I know people he brought to the Panthers organization. Say what you will about him, but he's extremely loyal to friends and co-workers. Demanding as he can be, everyone who worked for him knew Bill had their backs. You wanta talk about a screwy team, look at Carolina. Like the mafia - don't dis the wacked out family.

Amazing what having an offensive line can do for skill players...

Funny how a majority of posters were willing to let JP take his lumps during the summer. Now they are calling for him to be benched. Does anyone remember Troy Aikman's first season? John Elway? How about that stellar 3-13 Colts team with rookie Peyton Manning? Painful as it might be to watch - we gotta stand behind this kid. The only way to get better in the NFL is to play and gain experience.
