  1. If that's the case, it's still good for the Bills. I lived in Baltimore when the Colts left and was a huge blow to the city and all of their fans. Any fan of that team who watched them move away is going to realize how devastating it is to a city and the fans.

     

    Goodell is very much a bottom-line kind of guy, so I'm not sure it will ultimately matter, but this is a great point nonetheless.

  2. Wow. This isn't surprising at all, and isn't really a big deal in terms of where his skills are today, but still a really big deal in terms of where he was just a few years ago.

     

    Seeing LT become past his prime makes me feel really old today.

  3. Wasnt he replaced by Ronnie Jones who Wade refused to fire, which in turn got Wade fired?

     

    Yes, that's right. A lot of people believe, however, that Wade held firm to get himself fired with pay. When he was fired, Ronnie Jones didn't exactly have many offers:

    Ronnie Joe Jones (October 17, 1955(1955-10-17) in Dumas, Texas) is an American football coach. Though currently an assistant at Martin High School in Arlington, Texas, Jones has served on coaching staffs at numerous colleges and NFL teams.

  4. I have no doubt you will ignore this, my dear:

     

    Focus On the Family is famous for adamantly opposing virtually every LGBT-friendly initiative — from domestic partner and survivors benefits, hate crimes legislation or employment non-discrimination measures. They also steadfastly supported Colorado’s Amendment 2 of 1996 (which would have disenfranchised LGBT people from the legislative process) and they opposed the repeal of anti-sodomy laws in the U.S.

     

    And that is the very very tip of the iceberg.

     

    Contrast that with the ad that CBS rejected during the Super Bowl in 2005 from the United Church of Christ that promoted that organization's inclusion of gays, racial minorities and people with disabilities. CBS put out a statement staying that it was "too controversial" and "unacceptable for broadcast." Not sure how they justify taking the $3 million in this case.

  5. I think the Bills blew it NOT trading T.O. to Baltimore when they had the chance. This year I say tag him and try to get some picks for him now. I would also consider trading Lynch and Schoebel for some decent picks. We need to load up on 2nd and 3rd rounders.

    Was it ever confirmed that Baltimore actually offered anything for him? I agree that it was probably a mistake not to get a pick for him, but I wasn't ever convinced that they had the choice.

     

    Also, if they tag him and can't trade him, they are stuck with a guy with a one-year salary that will be around $10 million.
