Albany,n.y.

Levi Brown would be the starter in 2011 & Andrew Luck would be the starter in 2012.

He matched it only because he didn't have to pay a dime of the contract. They had the trade with Cleveland worked out so Ralph was never in any danger of having to pay Cousineau. Here's the story from Relentless under the year 1982: April 19- The Houston Oilers presented Tom Cousineau a five year contract offer worth $3.5 million, including a $1 million signing bonus. It would make him the highest-paid player in the NFL. The Bills had three options: They could match the offer and sign him themselves; they could match the offer, then trade him to another team; or not match and get nothing in return for him. April 21- Chuck Knox reiterated that he would love to sign Cousineau, but it was Ralph Wilson's decision, not his. April 24- The Bills matched Houston's offer, then turned around and traded Cousineau to the Browns for a package of draft choices, including the Browns' first-round choice in the upcoming draft.** "I was shocked by Houston's offer", Ralph Wilson said. "It was way out of line. I thought if it was anything reasonable, he would be playing for the Bills." Chuck Knox expressed disappointment that the team had lost Cousineau. **-As we all know, the pick was in the 1983 draft, not the upcoming 1982 draft. a small error in Relentless, but the rest of the story confirms Ralph had no intention of ever paying Cousineau the contract Houston signed him to.

The rest of the story is the stuff we didn't see. We only saw a small piece of what went on in Hollywood & what inflenced the judges' decisions on the top 24. So no matter how good or bad a singer was on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, the judges were picking the wild cards based on a total body of work that we only saw a fraction of. Until there's a way to see everything that has gone on from each contestant from the time they 1st auditioned to the final choices of the top 13, I don't feel we have enough information to criticize the wild card decisions.

He cleared waivers as a 2nd year player-that's how I know what everyone in the league thinks about Brohm. Every GM passed on the guy because their files on the guy indicated he wasn't even good enough to claim off of waivers. If you think that it is totally meaningless that a 2nd round pick was not picked up when placed on waivers one year after he was drafted, you're clueless! Every team tracks players throughout their careers. When a player the team was high on before the draft gets waived by his team, they get their latest reports and make a decision. These include pro scouting reports from exhibition games & any real games the guy has played in. The NFL teams wait for guys they have keyed on to get cut & make an effort to pick the guy up if he becomes available-no team was even willing to take a waiver flyer on the guy in September 2009. For the last time I don't hate Brian Brohm. I only hate hearing the BS excuses that you Brohm fanatics make every time the guy proves me & the NFL professionals right and yourselves wrong. Why is it that every time Brian Brohm has been in a game, preseason or regular season, his team has not been able to reach the endzone in any drive he's played in? If anything it's probably his coaches who hate the guy, because he's totally ineffective as a QB, not fans like me, who just want better players so our team can actually start to be a contender again.

The worst person to claim to have psychic powers is Sylvia Browne. One time a skeptic came on the Larry King show with her & she told him to see a doctor because she saw him having a physical illness. It's one thing to be a fraud, another to be b***h. What is truly amazing is that Larry King & Montel Williams continued to give her air time. Here's her rap sheet via Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Browne

The league has him all figured out. Even before the Atlanta game I knew the odds were VERY MUCH against him because the professionals just let the guy clear waivers, virtually unheard of for a 2nd year former 2nd round QB. The 2 games he started PLUS all those non touchdown drives should convince anyone but you & the most die hard Brohm fans that the league's best GMs, GB's, Indy's, Balt's etal were right when he cleared waivers. I've heard all the excuses OVER & OVER again. Isn't it about time to see that any time Brohm plays in an NFL game he has no chance to succeed, under any circumstances? If you want to see how an inexperienced player who is suddenly thrust into action unexpectedly should respond, look up Ryan Fitzpatrick's debut in St. Louis as a rookie. After you do, tell me why anyone who ever advocated Brohm starting shouldn't just be ashamed of themselves.

Ever since Vince Young's single digit score was released, the NFL has been very guarded about Wonderlic scores, but some still get out. There is no formal announcement & the draft reports that used to have them included with the rest of the combine data no longer do.

This is an example of denial at its worst. He got TWO more NFL starts than he ever deserved and was absolutely horrible in each. Add to that the fact that in all his NFL games, preseason included, he's never had even one touchdown drive. What makes Brian Brohm more deserving of another chance than any of the other QBs who over the years have been bad every time they saw live action? Nobody hates Brian Brohm. Some of us just recognize a guy who can't cut it sooner than others. I wish Brian Brohm the best, just as long as he doesn't ever suit up in a Bills uniform again. In fact, I wouldn't mind it if Brohm ended up the starting QB of the Dolphins, but then that would guarantee 15 years of Andrew Luck in our division. Brohm wasn't released & Gregg Williams was never fired-their contracts just ran out

Here's the link to the story. http://www.insideedition.com/news/5878/inside-edition-investigates-psychic-detectives-who-claim-to-find-missing-persons.aspx

I was watching & couldn't find any links with today's show's material. The show Inside Edition sets up "psychics" who claim they can find missing children. They send a guy with a picture of a young girl. He claims it's a picture of his sister who went missing 30 years ago. They then sent the reporter in the next day saying they were doing a segment on psychics. They aired a tape of the worst one, who was charging $400. She looks at the picture, tells the guy she believes the girl is dead and that she met a violent end. But, she thinks the family can recover the remains and pulls out a map of where she thinks the body might be in close proximity. The next day the female reporter comes in. The psychic starts talking about finding missing kids & then refers to the guy who came in the day before looking for his missing sister. The reporter pulls out a picture of the "missing" girl, asking if the photo looks familiar. The psychic says yes, then the reporter says: This picture is of ME when I was a child. The psychic, stunned at being exposed says something like: You didn't go missing? It was priceless! They said that they went to 10 "psychics" who claimed they could see the girl was dead.

On the Today show Kathie Lee Gifford has been skewering Charlie Sheen. Well today she revealed what a total hypocrite she is. She sees him with 2 girls and says one of them looks so young. Well both of them are 24. Charlie Sheen is 45. Doing the math, Charlie is 21 years older. Meanwhile, Frank Gifford, her husband is 23 years older than her. She was 33 and he was 56 when they got married. They are now 57 & 80.

It worked for a D lineman named Suh.

Since Malone basically doesn't even acknowledge D. Bell's existance, Lloyd is the better father. In about 15 years, if Travis Henry is still alive, I'd like to see what one of his sons says at the combine.

JP set the team back the most. Drafting JP cost the Bills shots at Rodgers & Cutler. In Rodgers' case, the Bills would have had the pick to use on Rodgers if they hadn't traded it away for JP. In Cutler's case, the Bills chose to draft Whitner at pick 8 with Cutler on the board because they were committed to starting JP. Also, if the Bills had confidence in JP, they never would have drafted Trent in 2007. Since without JP's shaky status, there's no Trent, JP trumps Trent. The reason Rob isn't even in the running is because, with the exception of his final season, the Bills could always turn to Flutie, so Rob wasn't ruining the franchise. Clearly, in terms of setting the team back the most, JP towers over the others.

If Andrew Luck declares for the 2012 draft & has a season that warrants being the #1 pick-NO TEAM, unless they already have a young franchise QB who missed the season with an injury that is 100% healed, will trade the pick, no matter what is offered. So any scenario that involves drafting Luck, has to have the Bills with the #1 pick without any 2012 trades. Anyone who thinks there won't be any football in 2011, really doesn't understand the economics. The NFL makes money. As long as they make money, they'll be a season. Now that season may not be 16 games, or even 12, but I can guarantee this-On Thanksgiving, the NFL will be playing football, the 2012 playoffs & Super Bowl will occur. This is not the NHL. The economics are not the least bit comparable where the league will lose its whole season.

In the past we've seen some highly touted QBs who were torn between baseball & football bomb in the NFL-Akili Smith, Drew Henson, Chad Hutchinson, Josh Booty, to name a few. Most QB's not totally committed to football can't cut it in the NFL. I believe the most successful QB to switch from baseball back to football was Jay Schroeder. John Elway was never serious about a baseball career, he used the Yankees to avoid playing for the Colts and can't be considered among the group of baseball lioving QBs.

I hope you're good with Christian Ponder in the 2nd or 3rd round, because he's the QB the Bills will draft. No way Newton or Gabbert in the 1st round with pick 3. Wasn't your radio on when Chan was talking up Ponder Senior Bowl week saying he wanted him at GT coming out of high school?

The most interesting thing I've found in the replies that defended the guy is the acceptance of gross incompetence in the workforce. The responses say oh poor guy, he needs a job..., but let him find a job where he can fail without annoying your company's customers, or let the company find him a job he can succeed at. It's both his fault & the company's. He shouldn't take a job he has no chance of succeeding at & they should either find a better fit within the company or let him go. Neither is doing the other one any favors. I once got tossed out of a place after 2.5 hours because I jammed up a machine once too many times. It was a bad fit for both of us & to keep me there another hour would have extended the futility. Companies should not hire people to do jobs where their chance of failure is close to 100%, and if they do and things don't work out the best thing for everyone is to is cut ties quickly. Keeping incompetent employees does nobody any good.

Unless you're calling unsolicited to people in Mexico, France or a place where they don't speak English, butchering their language, then speaking in what they would think is gibberish in your attempt to speak their language, what you're doing has NO COMPARISON to what this guy is doing. People as incompetent as this guy are not being polite or respectful to the people they call & cannot expect to just skate through calls with people ignoring their incompetence.

It's funny that Carlos Estevez is knocking someone else for changing his name, when Carlos doesn't go by the name on his birth certificate either.

Knowing Ralph, the Bills clause probably is that Chan has to pay the Bills for every day there is no football : It's interesting that he cites "10 to 12 teams" & 12 teams have opted out of the coaches' pension plan. Players are paid one-seventeenth of their base salary with each week of the NFL season while pro coaches are paid proportionally throughout the season. "I'm really talking about 10 or 12 teams. There are 20 or 22 teams that treat their coaches very well and have great respect for them." Kennan said the coaches are "as close as they have ever been" to forming a union. Although he admitted it's not the result he wants to see, the coaches are "not afraid" to go that route. Any unionizing would not occur until after a new CBA is formed. Twelve NFL teams already have opted out of the league's pension plan for their coaches. The list: the Chargers, Cardinals, Falcons, 49ers, Saints, Bills, Patriots, Jaguars, Buccaneers, Cowboys, Texans and Redskins. The majority of those moves, Kennan said, were spurred mostly by a tanking economy, as early as 2009. As for how the coaches relate to the impending labor crisis, Kennan said: "There's enough stress in coaching already that now we're going to be docked 25 percent pay. We have nothing to do with (the lockout)." http://www.profootballweekly.com/2011/02/24/coaches-could-face-hefty-losses-with-lockout

I think our definitions of yelling are quite different. I didn't scream at the guy, just slightly raised my voice and voiced my annoyance at his lack of knowledge to do his job. My yelling is probably your whispering.
