  1. Not really. His new role is to be liaison with coaching stafls around the league. That should be right up his alley... https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/05/28/perry-fewell-walt-anderson-join-nfl-officiating-department/ "Fewell will oversee the day-to-day operations of the officiating department, including outreach to the league’s head coaches and General Managers, compliance with the NFL and NFL Referees Association Collective Bargaining Agreement. He also will serve as a liaison to the NCAA on officiating-related matters."
  2. As far as I can see, Riverton's still in charge of in-game replay decisions--which is all that matters to fans like us. Who gives a fig about the NFL's day-to-day administrative matters. They don't effect the game. As to Anderson, he might cul some of the worst refs and recruit some better ones. But again, bad replay decisions are still going to happen as long as Riverton's involved... https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/05/28/perry-fewell-walt-anderson-join-nfl-officiating-department/ "Alberto Riveron, the senior vice president of officiating, returns for his eighth season at the league office." "Riveron will lead the league’s replay review process with vice president of instant replay Russell Yurk, director of video technology Bret Ayers, and replay assistants Desiree Abrams, Sebrina Brunson and Artenzia Young-Seigler."
  3. Too funny... https://buffalo.craigslist.org/spo/d/buffalo-nhl-sabres-hockey-franchise/7131321126.html Angry Sabres fan puts team up for sale on Craigslist By Staff Published 6:00 a.m. May 28, 2020|Updated 3 hours ago How angry, disappointed and frustrated are Buffalo Sabres fans? Well, one attempted to put the team up for sale on Craigslist on Wednesday to express those feelings. The poster described the Sabres as a "Lost team with diehard fanbase looking for wealthy owner who actually understands hockey. ... Organization on the cheap. Could be flipped. Major structural damage but few core pieces still intact."
  4. wow so small! much conceal Posted by Ihidethings on Apr 21st 2014 at only 4" long you can hide this baby ALMOST anywhere!
  5. Great minds think alike: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/bizarre/*****-gun-woman-is-prison-bound-638295 A police check determined that the five-inch gun had been stolen in 2013 from an automobile owned by John Souther, a Kingsport resident. Following Archer’s arrest, a TSG reporter broke the news to Souther that his revolver had been stashed inside Archer. “Oh, gosh,” Souther said. He added that while he wanted “the little fellow” returned, the revolver would need “a bath in bleach.”
  6. "The gun show, which doubled as a peep show, landed the woman felony charges for bringing contraband into a penal facility. She was also charged with vandalism and speeding, and fined $1,000, according to court records obtained by The Smoking Gun.
  7. Maybe CBS ****canned it. Romo looked and sounded drunk in the preview I saw...
  8. Sounds more applicable to the Rangers and Islanders right now. I wonder if they might use Harborcenter as a TC site, given the NYC area is stll locked down...
  9. Which is why the interview process is so important. Teams need to understand how these guys process things mentally. We see Wonderlic scores a lot for QBs, not so much for WRs. That probably is an incorrect way to look at things, given how they have to adjust to sight reads and coverage disguises, all while running flat out. I hope our rookies can make the leap as the Bills track record with Jones, Foster and other young wideouts hasn't exactly been stellar in recent years...
  10. Absolutely agree. It's a lot to process for college WRs who ran limited route trees and explains why they often struggle early in their careers. I'm convinced it's why Zay Jones flamed out--he often seemed to be zigging when he should have been zagging...
  11. Ah, no. Joe B of The Athlectic had a story this week about Gabriel Davis' ability to contribute to the Bills as a rookie. After running just 3-4 routes in college at UCF, this is what he's going to have to learn as a Bill:
  12. Murph made the right call. It must be a real drag to be a sports talk host when there's nothing to talk about. Right, Schopp?...
  13. He's fine on play-by-play, which he'll continue to do. But even that's slipping as he gets older. Radio talk was where he made his bones and no one in Buffalo has ever been better since the WBEN hay days...
  14. It's the right time for Murph to leave the day-to-day grind. IMO, his heart hasn't been in it in recent years. Like most older guys, it gets harder and harder to be motivated and not just phone it in (i.e., Vic Carucci, Peter King, Chris Berman, me, myself and I, etc). Back in the day, One-On-One Sports was the gold standard of radio sports talk. It's a shame that younger fans never got to hear Murph when he brought his "A" Game--which was every bit as good as any national host--every night. Those were special times that I'll always remember fondly...
  15. Given that he's shaped like a small moon these days, it makes perfect sense...
  16. Letting the days go by...
  17. What kind of BS thing is this SportLine? Shut this thread down...
