    I highly doubt Johnson will be the FT starter, I totally see a committee here, dude is only 5'9" 210 lbs. and has only been a 3rd down back his entire career so far, I don't think he can take that kind of punishment, maybe they pick Foreman back up? Just my opinion though.

     

    I don't know if he's a 3 down back or not (he thinks he is), but Emmitt Smith was 5'9" 215 lbs and seemed to hold up just fine at that size.

    We leave in 9 days for Barcelona. From there we cruise to Lisbon on a 300 person Windstar ship. About 60 of those people will be our old church friends from Sarasota. Some very close friends, and all folks who just throw in the credit card and let them split it. (Yes, I’m very excited! Probably not the last you’ll hear of this!? ) 

     

    I spent a few days in Barcelona and really liked it. Sounds like a great trip, enjoy!

    I see that, as I get back every year or two now.  I can attend games without ever going downtown as I did last year.  (Born in Hamburg, but mostly grew up in Williamsville.). I just never got down there in my youth, and don’t know the difference between all the specific areas that are discussed. 

     

    Did you ever go to the old War Memorial Stadium? I did as a very young kid. I'm thinking that was in city limits, but not really downtown? I do remember it was in a rough neighborhood.

    I need to do this, but won’t have time probably before the game. I also want DTV to send me one for free, but haven’t had time to call. 

     

    I havent had nbc for about a month and this is the first time I’ve cared.

     

    You might be surprised how good the picture quality is with a decent antennae. You get the full HD signal instead of the compressed signal (going by my past DTV history).

    Bills bring back Brian Gaine

    My only worry about this is where he fits. He was the Director of Player Personnel. Dan Morgan has that job now. So is he reporting to Morgan? If so is he senior to the Malik Boyd (Dir Pro Personnel) and Terrence Gray (Dir College Scouting)? Or is he in fact not reporting to Morgan but directly to Beane and Schoen? 

     

     

    I think the clue may be in his title, Senior Personnel "Advisor." Someone in an advisor role usually doesn't have many teeth in a decision making role. I think he's another set of eyes that they respect and feel can add to the decision making process. I agree and also believe they are keeping him on the back bench as insurance for possible future F O moves/vacancies.

    Do you live in what is geographically considered Bills territory?

    Bills territory/Bills Country. It’s a state of mind more than geology. Born & raised in WNY, been a fan from their inception. I now live in significantly better climate -by choice, but still attend a game live from time to time and my fandom is as rabid as ever.

    Why the reason for the inquisition? 

     

    Now that we understand your geography better, please explain how state of mind relates to geology..... and I agree attending a game live sure beats attending one dead.

     

    Sorry, I couldn't help it.   ?

    Chris Brown doesn't know much about the NFL

    I live in the UK. I am a civil servant working  developing policy for central government. I left journalism and originally joined government comms as essentially a PR guy worked my way into policy. 

     

    People always presume working on the radio must be a cool job. But it doesn't pay great, the hours are long and often unsociable and the contracts and job security often short and temporary. Oh and journalism (which was what I was doing) increasingly gets squeezed on radio in the name of entertainment and the lines are pretty blurred. I get much more fulfillment out of what I do now. 

     

    Congrats on that!  We, those that can, are blessed to be able to do for a living that which we enjoy. With the hours you post here you must keep some crazy hours.  How did you become a Bills fan if in the UK? Do they get exposure over there?

    Everybody should know who Greg Cook is. Without Greg Cook and his unfortunate injury there is no west coast offence, no Bill Walsh in the HoF and no 49ers dynasty. 

     

    Yep. Did it every day for 18 months. Was pretty good at it. Left it because of a bit of a disenchantment with journalism and for a better long term career move. I promise you it really isn't as hard as Steve Tasker makes it sound. 

     

    Now you have me curious; what was the better career move to?
