  1. While I agree with you on the parts about Marrone being thin skinned, I disagree with you on the parts about the Media.

     

    What you are ignoring is the fact that radio is and always will be about listeners. Listeners = audience base. Audience base = demographic to sell to advertisers. Advertisers = revenue.

     

    You don't need to be an NFL intern to interpret the game and speak to the fans. In fact, guys like Jeremy White, Joe B, and Matthew Coller do a great job of being the intermediary between the Counter Trap, A Gap, 3 technique, X's and O's guys, and Bob from Cheektowaga who thinks Jim Kelly should come back and coach the Bills.

     

    The technology available to everyone these days (all 22, NFL Rewind) mean that more than ever, the gap between coach speak and honest evaluations is closing.

  2. Officially, Russ no longer has anything to do with football decisions. Unofficially, he's making some bold statements and publicly supporting the people he hired. So the question is whether or not Russ can stay in his lane and only handle team financial matters.

     

    From afar, it seems like Russ isn't ready to let go of the power he held as quasi-owner. The Pegula's have to determine whether the previous lead guy for the team (who hired other high ranking people in non-football roles) won't divide the organization.

     

    I agree 100% with everything in this statement.

     

    Russ has been a middle manager, the head of Marketing, The GM, and the President and CEO. His fingerprint is literally EVERYWHERE on this organization. The Pegulas publicly stated that the Business side and the Football side are now mutually exclusive. Brandon has been in the war room for the last decade on draft day and has been intimately involved in Football related matters and front office personnel. My opinion of him based on what he puts out there publicly is that he is a power-hungry individual.

  3. if you happen to come across doug marrone during your tour, please punch him in the face for me.

     

    If you run into Nate Hackett, please do the same for me. Nate will be the short, squirley guy shackled to Doug Marrone with one of those little kid leashes.

  4. Not only do I think the Broncos should sit Manning to prevent his premature extinction, they should prevent him from watching the so-called contest so that he does not have to witness the mutilation of his valued co-workers. He should just come back to the facility on Monday with flowers and candy to distribute to the casualties in the training room and never speak of the Bills game again.

  5. I was sitting right at the goaline where that happened... the ball popped up to Chandler almost perfectly, it seemed like it was in slow motion......aaaaaaaaaaaaand we all know what happened. It was literally OH NO, OH YES, OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO all in one play. I nominate that one play to summarize what its like being a Bills fan for the last 15 years.

  6. Well that's unfortuante. I actually thought he had potential. People poke fun at these draft busts but it must be a hard life after the NFL, thinking they were going to be a pro athlete all their life and then its all over in a couple years.

    Absolutely, being a 2nd round pick too, you envision a long, lucrative career where you retire to palm trees frozen drinks after (well at least I would). Then you get cut and are thrust into a world where you have no tangible skills and your 40 time and vertical don't matter.
