Those teams are ALWAYS searching for a QB. Donahoe sucks.

Or Laphroaig. Mmmm. Lagavulin and Laphroaig are my favorites.

No - you can't forget cap number. Absolutely not. That's an essential part of the equation when evaluating a player. So - NOT forgetting the cap number the choice is obvious, and it sure as hell isn't Wiley. I find it interesting that the "What have you done for me lately" method of evaluation is applicable unless it comes to evaluating Buffalo's recent success. I'm sorry to tell you this Steven, but building a team is a PROCESS. I doesn't - and shouldn't - happen over night. First step was fixing the salary cap mess that was left. This was an imperative, as much as you deny it. Done with great success. Second, bring in good players through the draft and via FA. This step could not happen in paralell with step one, because without cap $$ you can't get FAs, and any moron knows that most draft picks take a couple years to contribute. Third, maintain a strong team utilizing the benefits of talent-based drafting and astute FA moves. It is easy to see that the first two steps could take two years at the least just to start. If you don't understand that, you & I will never agree. I know you like to compare to John Fox & Marvin Lewis, but you can't. Those teams were completely different due to salary cap situation. We are now in phase 3, thankfully. And we are finally starting to see the first two phases pay off. We can now draft the most talented player without being pressured by need (McGahee). We can afford veteran leaders that bring experience to a team (Vincent, Milloy, Adams, Moulds, etc.) Donahoe has done an amazing job as GM. Not just good, but amazing.

Donahoe sucks! He should never have gotten rid of them!

Ugh. That's crazy. I've seen roman candles explode before.

But if disk i/o is a bottleneck, it still doesn't matter. I see your point, though.

A guy here at work built a machine with one. I just don't see the bang for the buck yet. Applications aren't yet taking advantage of this. For my latest system I saved myself a few bucks and got an Athlon XP 3200 on an asus 87N8x-e deluxe mobo. Since the bottleneck is always the HD at this point, I got two of the 10,000 RPM WD sata drives and I'm setting them up in raid 0. I figure this will do more for me than any processor upgrade would. I/O at the HDD is always a key point in a system. There's a reason servers all have SCSI drives.

Tough decisions? Like what? We aren't in cap jail any more, so there are no cuts we need to make just to remain solvent. It sure is nice to say that, isn't it?

Yeah. Donahoe sucks.

Steven - your loathing for Donahoe has clouded your judgement. And I'd say Ralph is not senile, and knows quite a bit more about football than you do. Consistency? Any time a 1st year coach finishes above .500 is a pretty good feat. It looks like we'll do that this year. It's time you give credit where credit is due.

Donahoe has drafted DAMN well. No friggin GM hits on every single player. It just doesn't happen. Sure, you want everyone to pan out, but it's impossible. Not only that, if you hit on every draft, your newer players are forcing out older ones that you drafted so statistically it's impossible to judge a draft only by how many players remain on your roster. I think TD is one of the best on draft day in the NFL. I submit to you: 1. Evans - contributes right off. 2. McGee - great pickup. Gonna go to the pro-Bowl. 3. Henry - we got a few years of great production which is wonderful for a 2nd round RB. Additionally, we'll most likely get that pick back because ... 4. McGahee - how can you not like this pick? 5. Clements - great player. 6. Wire - ST demon. Worth his draft position. 7. Jennings. 8. Schobel. I'm sorry dude, but Donahoe has done a great job drafting. That's a fact.

I won't ever rent from Blockbuster. They censor movies.

People get killed every day. There are sick bastards doing this every day. What the hell is the american media mongoloid fascination with this idiot. Thank God this is over.

I use oneworldhosting.com and readyhosting.com. I've also used pair.com. I'd stay away from readyhosting.com, but I like pair.com and oneworldhosting.com.

No, not at all. Williams went down after first contact every time. Henry breaks tackles. Not like McGahee, but he still breaks tackles. Williams just doesn't have the weight to do so.

Dude- you really need to enjoy the present. I'm sorry that Drew's success and winning streak have upset you, but enjoy it.

We must have been sitting next to you without even knowing it.

It is funny, and to tell you the truth it's all true. There wasn't a thing in his article that isn't true, insults and all. We can accept it, own it, and love it or whine about it. I'll take the big hair of the girl next to me over the obnoxious tard next to me in New Jersey (Jets), or the half-interested yuppie goof in Carolina.

STFU and your (sic) a moron

I thought the defense would always be good, but yesterday was the first time I'd consider them elite. They pretty much won the game for the Bills. It sure is nice to have something to be proud of like that, even if the national media is a clueless bunch of major market sycophants.

I think he's great, as well. He was very good in Almost Famous. Haven't seen love liza, but will try. Nice Rochester connection, as well.

Judging from the title of this thread, I thought the article would be on movies about pirates -- as in the "Arrrg." kind.

It depends. If it's a good game that for some reason is blacked out, I'll go. Otherwise, it's the radio. I went to the cards game because it was blacked out, though. But also because I was able to get good seats. I must admit, I love Bills football, but there are parts of the stadium experience that I don't enjoy. Such as drunks throwing stuff at you - like 1/2 full beer cans. Or watching people puke when walking down the stairs. Or listening to some foul-mouthed dick scream all day. So, for me, if I can't go with a large group of people with whom I feel comfortable, I need to be in the seats that are least likely to have the unpleasant things happen. Those also happen to be the most expensive seats, which also becomes a determination. I think what I'll do next year, depending on the economy and my wallet, is get together with 3 or 4 buds and buy 2 or three season tix and alternate who gets to go.

Peter King hasn't watched a football game all year, let alone a Bills game.
