Albany,n.y.

It depends on where you are & what broadcast you're watching. If you're in Buffalo, WGR tries to synch up with the TV broadcast. The last time I brought a radio to the stadium, WWKB had the live call that you can listen to which is ahead of the TV broadcast. When I'm home in Albany the TV is ahead of the Bills internet broadcast. We don't have a radio station anymore in Albany. The last time we did, the over the air broadcast was ahead of the TV, especially when watching a satellite feed at a bar. I used to go to sportsbars & know the play before it was on TV by listening to the radio. Nowadays I don't mix the TV & radio audios. At home I just listen to the TV & I now go to OTB where I get my own booth with a TV so I just listen to the TV broadcast.

My best memory of Sue goes back to the weekend Jim Kelly went to the HOF. We had a bus trip that started at Jack's office in Syracuse, with pickup points in Rochester & Orchard Park. Most of the people were at the 2 other stops. Sue came from NJ with a friend & I came from Albany alone after Petrino had to bail. We got there early enough that we were all able to go to the Dinosaur. Then we went back to Jack's office & got on the bus & headed to Canton.

You and those who think like you (yes I know there are many but you're all dead wrong) have it backwards. Coaches don't ruin QBs. Bad to mediocre QBs ruin coaches. Tannehill wasn't much before, during, or after Gase. The term coach-killer is appropriate for a QB, the term QB killer is not appropriate since no coach has ever destroyed the career of a good QB. Here's an example of a coach who tried to kill a QB: When Atlanta drafted Brett Favre Jerry Glanville wanted nothing to do with him. In spite of Glanville's attempt to ruin him, Favre got traded & is now in the HOF. No coach can ruin a QB no matter how hard he tries.

and that Wilson is Ralph.

So good they've already put his name on the NFL football

Miami, same record with Rosen or Fitzpatrick. It really doesn't matter which one is the starter & which one is the backup.

Including camp & preseason, 4 of the QBs taken in 2007 have worn a Bills uniform at some point in their careers. Nowadays our backup QB is one of the career backups taken in the 2013 draft, which produced a bunch of 2nd & 3rd stringers but no long term starters.

I wrote this on another Bills board on New Year's Day 2013, it wasn't that hard to know unless your name is Nix or Whaley: What if this draft is similar to 2007, 2002 or even 1996?

I'm surprised that nobody has said they're moving on from him with the signings of Lee Smith & Moral Stephens.

Not defensive, just telling it like it is. The comment was idiotic since anyone on a message board is in some way wasting fee time. I'm doing that right now but I don't care since I'm retired & have all the free time in the world.

I was looking for something else when I stumbled onto this. I never found what I was looking for & gave up. People who are spending their free time on a message board themselves shouldn't throw stones from their glass house.

I find it ironic that Arizona did with Josh Rosen what many advocated for if Josh Allen didn't show enough-draft another QB if Josh played poorly enough that we got the top pick.

What if the guy spent all his money on prostitutes and doesn't have the $5,000?

The show Arli$$ did a parody episode of the XFL in the season 5 episode (made in 2000) "When Opportunity Knocks" where Kirby became the GM of the L.A. Carnivors in a new spring football league called the Ultimate Football League (UFL) run by a Vince McMahon type charcter named Danny Richter played by Joe Piscopo. Richter tells Arliss that the thing football fans want most are "Big T*ts & Big Hits". He brings two cheerleaders & two players with him to Arliss & the girls shake their boobs while one of the players puts a hard hit on the other guy. Doug Flutie played himself as a client of Arliss & Arliss tries to negotiate a 4 year $91 million contact for him ($11 million signing bonus, 4 years $20 million) with Kirby. Arliss demands too much, like Flutie having veto power on who his head coach is and Kirby says no to Flutie. When Kirby finds out that Piscopo's plans don't include caring about winning & the makeup of the football team he starts to get discouraged. The final straw for Kirby is when Danny Richter shows him his seat at the game. Richter tells Kirby that each fan will be given a remote & if the team is playing lousy they can press the remote. When Richter presses his remote to demontstate, Kirby finds out his seat has a dunk tank under it that opens up when the remote is pressed. That's the final straw for Kirby & he quits & ends up going back to AMM to work for Arliss.

Schopp is wrong as often as he is right but he's so arrogant if a correct fan tries to explain why he's wrong Schopp just acts like a jerk because he THINKS he's smarter than everyone when he's not. On some beliefs, where there are no right or wrong answers, like trading up or down, Schopp is adamant in his beliefs & everyone else is wrong, which is total BS-he thinks trading down is always better, yet Beane has traded up just about every one of his draft trades & I know Beane knows more than Schopp will ever know. Unlike some guys in the media who have gone on to GM jobs, if anyone ever suggested Schopp for a NFL GM job they'd be laughed out of town. I find myself on the other side almost all the time with Schopp. If he opened his mind once in a while to the other side of something theoretical & didn't act like a total jackass to the callers, maybe I could respectfully disagree with him, but for the most part due to his attitude, I disrespectfully disagree with him instead.

They'll be 6 because one is basically a KR/PR and unless there are a lot of injuries doesn't figure as a WR on gameday, but will be active every week.

Dumb & Dumber

Right now my gambling money is tied up on the Kentucky Derby. If I win big I'm driving down to NJ to bet the Bills. If I lose I won't be able to bet it for a while & if that's the case I'm hoping that they get sports betting in NY before the season starts & I can bet it about 20-25 miles away in Schenectady. My top 3 horses are Tacitus-Game Winner-Spinoff. I'm boxing them in exactas & trifectas. If Spinoff runs either 1st or 2nd, or 3rd if the other 2 run 1-2, I'll clean up since Spinoff will be around 30/1.

He should let any fan who bought a Rosen jersey trade it in for a Murray Jersey at the Cardinals store.

That's exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote that. Keim is singlehandedly making the Cardinals the NFL's laughingstock. Last year he hires a new head coach and drafts a new QB in the 1st round and this year he does the same exact thing. Isn't that the definition of insanity?

The biggest steal in the NFL is Steve Keim taking money from the Cardinals. Every time he cashes a paycheck he's committing highway robbery. It's as if he went to Rex Ryan University and was valedictorian.

Simple answer-binoculars. I sat in the upper deck for Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara and when I went out there for Thankgiving the prior November I tried out the upper deck & determined binoculars would be helpful. I brought binoculars to the November game & the Super Bowl the following February and was glad I did. As a rule, unless I know I won't need them, I always bring binoculars to a game.

One of my friends e-mailed me the Simpsons picture. I replied saying that it was a tribute to us fans who get in when the gate opens and don't miss the warmups while others are getting drunk at tailgates. You'll never get a photo like your picture in 2019 because the Bills are going to be great and the stands will be filled. On the other hand you may still have a situation like your photo at the end of a game we're up by 30 points and it's cold. By the end of the season even the most pessimistic fan will have seen so much winning that they'll be tired of winning by 4 TDs every week.
