Ill fired their Governor-just came over 6:00 news. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/29/ill...rnor/index.html

Because Reese didn't want Ralph & Ralph's daughters telling him what to do.

I can't believe I'm at the 4th page and nobody mentioned the series named "Bills 1999-2000 Season" That last episode in Tennessee was the worst ending ever.

Harris was portrayed as a moron in the movie.

What the Palin supporters in any Palin v Kennedy argument don't get is that Caroline Kennedy wasn't nominated to be a 72 year old heartbeat away from the most powerful position in the world. The level of the position DEMANDS great scrutiny. Caroline Kennedy was not nominated nor chosen for anything at the time she spoke. If she had been nominated for Vice President running with a man the age of McCain, I would surely hope that she would be examined up, down & sideways as Palin was. It was not the media bias, it was the friggin position & the possibility of becoming President that made the scrutiny of Palin necessary. Kennedy was nothing more than a person who expressed interest in a position of less greater magnitude than the position Palin was already nominated & running for at the time of the scrutiny. Other than her own announcement, her name & the media making her into a front runner, with no evidence that she was ever the leading candidate in the eyes of the one man responsible for making the decision, Caroline Kennedy was basically a private citizen with no true path to any office. In the end she turned into no more viable a candidate for the Senate than someone like Gary Coleman was when he ran for Governor of California. There is nothing comparable between someone with a big name expressing interest in an open Senate office and someone who has already accepted the nomination of one of the 2 major parties to be within a heartbeat of being President of the United States of America. Sarah Palin had a 50% chance of being VP at the time of the scrutiny. Anything less than trying to find out everything about her would have been irresponsible.

Here's what I'm seeing. The NYC area politicians & their media feel like they've been slighted. Just like Hillary Clinton had this feeling of entitlement before Obama beat her for the nomination, the NYC pols have the same attitude of entitlement. They couldn't imagine that the Governor would dare pick anyone from outside their area & they are PO'd because now someone with a more global view of New York State, instead of their own myopic view will be representing New York in the senate. This is what I've seen from Gillibrand-she's proven that she can get both votes & contributions to fight anyone who is competition for her job. When she first ran, everyone thought she had no chance in a big Republican majority district. She got lucky because her opponent was caught in a bad marriage which included allegations of spousal abuse. Then she went to work-she went out of her way to make sure she was extremely accessible to her constituants. This made her very popular, along with her record of voting on what she believes is right, not what her party wants her to do. When she didn't see enough accountability in the bailout, she voted against it. The NYC pols are attacking her on her gun stance. They should realize that before he left the seat due to health & age, the late Congressman Solomon who was entrenched in that seat, was a staunch gun rights advocate, even going as far as to defend his vote to keep assault weapons legal so that his wife could feel safe while he was in Washington. No anti-gun politician would ever have been elected in that district & only a stupid one would have even tried to run there. This is a conservative, gun rights electorate in that district & it's time the downstaters realized that guns upstate are a totally different issue than guns on the streets of NYC. I think Gillibrand will do very well in the Senate. She's smart, agressive, really listens to her constituants, and isn't a rubber stamp for the NYC Democrats. The other thing I can't stand is the media's attacking Patterson for waiting so long to select Clinton's replacement. WTF was he suuposed to do? He couldn't name a replacement until Hillary Clinton was confirmed in Washington. If he did & then Hillary had to withdraw (like Richardson), then you have a replacement for someone who isn't leaving-no politician in his right mind would have chosen a replacement for someone before the confirmation process was completed. Here's what I think-The media was so embarrassed by their own incompetence by not being able to correctly predict who Patterson would choose, they've taken it out on Gillibrand & Patterson. I've heard both right & left wing media (includes newspapers, radio & tv) tell us for weeks it would be Kennedy or Cuomo and when it turned out to be Gillibrand, they were exposed, big time. If Patterson had picked the person they were predicting, they would have looked like they knew something. Instead they were shown to be the know-nothings that they are.

They don't need to free up any money. They need to spend more & get close to the maximum. There is no way Greer is coming back-he's now the nickel corner & you don't spend free agent starter money, which he'll get from another team, on nickel corners.

McCargo will be cut before mini camp.

I always thought that the song Forever in Blue Jeans was Reverend Blue Jeans. Then one night I'm watching King of Queens & Doug calls the song Reverend Blue Jeans & Carrie corrects him & tells him it's Forever in Blue Jeans. I guess I wasn't the only one if it got written into a sitcom.

The residents of the major US cities are sooo glad than Helmet hair doesn't live there too. See the real reason Helmet is glad he doesn't live in a major US city is because with his puny IQ, he could never keep a job in a major city. His totally ignorant post may go down as the dumbest in the history of this board, and that's really saying a lot.

A couple of comments on this thread: St. Louis didn't want to give Haslett the job during the season, they wanted to give him the job if the Rams won 6 games & the NFL ruled they couldn't put that in his contract because of the Rooney rule. He didn't win 6 games. Kay Stephenson hired Jauron, not Hank Bullough. Jauron was gone after the 1985 season, Bullough didn't keep him around for 1986.

Why draft a QB at pick 32 when Edwards just won the Super Bowl in Miami?

Every team with a new coaching staff should struggle under the Beckles doctrine. Tell that to the Dolphins, Falcons & Ravens. Having multiple coaches must really hurt because under that moronic theory, rookies should all struggle with the change from college to the pros. So, imagine how tough things are for Joe Flacco-he went to 2 different colleges & then had to play for yet another staff with the Ravens-he's ruined for life . The fact that Beckles thinks Wyche was such a bad coach & was never tutored by Wyche to play QB, Wyche's area of expertise, means squat.

Trent's failures this year were most likely injury related, it had nothing to do with JP's failures, which are from a lack of football related mental abilities to process information on the field fast enough for the NFL game. The coaching wasn't horrible, it was average.

All you people who blame poor coaching for JP's failure's are psychos-there's no nice way to put it! He had Sam Wyche, one of the great offensive minds tudoring him his 1st two years. Aside from Wyche, the head coach, Mike Mularkey went to Atlanta & did quite well with Matt Ryan. Fairchild, Schonert & Van Pelt are nowhere near as bad when it comes to QB development as you psychos make them out to be. Just look at the guys you have skewered in the past: Henning, Gilbride, Wyche & Mularkey-all have succeeded with other QBs & offenses before & except for Wyche, after their Bills stints. Maybe it's the Bills talent evaluators & not the coaches you should be blaming. They're the ones year after year, who fail to get us enough quality players. JP is just an example of their failures. Face it-you could resurrect the greatest QB coach of all time & the guy would have to just throw up his hands in disgust at the prospect of turning JP into a real QB. Quit blaming the coaches & face reality-JP was, is & always will be an NFL bust. He just isn't good enough-and no matter what coaching he receives in the future, his future is best served out of the NFL.

Who is Demitrious Butler? I know I saw nothing of him, never even heard of the guy. Come to think of it he was more of a ghost than Demetrius Bell, who we at least got to see in pre-season.

They are not going to allow JP to go back & play high school football. You have a serious man crush on JP, because anyone who isn't blinded by love and has seen him play knows he sucks. A smart coach who plays to JP's strengths knows his biggest strength is being on the bench and to never let him on the field.

He hasn't had 10 or 11 s in a game yet, so why did you say another? That's almost impossible to do unless your coach is Belichick. I guess you think one of our opponents will have a really bad defense.

Here's an article on 10. Also I saw an interview with John Wooden when he was about 95 & still sharp as ever. http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/for...91609/index.htm Working Past 90 Forget early retirement. These ten men and women found jobs they loved--and never quit. By Text By Roy Hoffman November 13, 2000 (FORTUNE Magazine) – Open a door at an American workplace today and you may find one of them: the old-old, defying life's clock. In a culture that all too often extols young workers at the expense of seasoned elders, these men and women--in their 90s, vibrant, their minds creatively engaged--give the lie to the notion that only youth matters. From Woodie Sommers, a 90-year-old barber in Sacramento, to Eleanor Lambert, a 97-year-old fashion publicist in New York City, these workers find, in their daily toil, more energy than enervation. "I get tired when I don't work," says composer Elliott Carter, who is writing a cello concerto at 91. "If your mind is clear and your body is healthy, a man can work whatever his age," adds 94-year-old Rev. William Lee Freeman, who presides over 17 African Methodist Episcopal churches in New York. Good health is essential, of course--a gift that none of these nonagenarians, having outlived friends and loved ones, take for granted. But many have known physical setbacks and landed on their feet. Like Hazel Howard, 91, who was back fixing fries at a McDonald's in Lynn, Mass., six weeks after breaking her hip. To linger awhile with these men and women is to hear other themes emerge: the impact of the Depression on their sense of economy; the importance of family relationships to sustain them. Five of the men have wives still living--308 years of ongoing marriage among them. Although mortality looms, these people seem to deflect brooding by putting on their hats and picking up their briefcases. "I refuse to let myself think about it," says gynecologist Walter Watson, 90, pacing hospital corridors at an hour of the morning when men a third his age are jump-starting themselves with their first cup of coffee. Humor buoys them too. "Who would want to be 92?" sighs 91-year-old Mobile, Ala., attorney Charles Hoffman to his son--this writer--as he makes his way to court. "A man who's 91." While revealing no secret for staying vital into their 90s, they concur on the mental sustenance provided by active employment. Work enables them to be creative in subtle ways (Sommers sees in each head of hair a barbering challenge) or in publicly visible ones (94-year-old architect Philip Johnson still marks metropolitan skylines with his buildings). With life expectancy in the U.S. having risen from 47 years in 1900 to 77 years in 1998, and with the proportion of senior citizens in the work force now at 12%, these nonagenarians may well signal one dynamic of the workplace to come. Having been born in the era of trains and the telegraph, they find themselves, in an era of space flight and cyberspace, in a kind of vanguard, a cutting-edge designation that makes several of them chuckle with appreciation for how what is old becomes new. They might even be called "living treasures" if that term didn't suggest icons that stay put. They're too busy for that.

Gave JP enough rope to hang himself.

A lot more than you think. Your statement shows ignorance. Because my parents lived well into their 80s, I got to know more people 80 & older than you, obviously, have ever seen. A lot of them still live in their own homes & know more than you ever will. Grow up!

What part of Dick Jauron & his assistants have been retained don't you understand? This is as useful as saying : What are we going to do with the 1st pick in the NFL draft? We are not hiring a new offensive coordinator & we don't have the #1 pick in the draft.

That's BS. As I've stated before my parents lived to 86 & 87 and had plenty of mental capacity at the time of their deaths. My mother's sister is 95 with plenty of mental capacity. I'll put Marv Levy, at 83 against just about anybody on this board in a debate & Marv would win. You said Ralph is senile-he's not. Quit being an ageist who probably has never known anyone in their 80s & 90s or knew one or two who were diminished and has decided everyone their age is diminished. Also, everyone is different. Unless you have medically evaluated Ralph at age 50 & age 90, you have no basis to declare him mentally diminished. The really SAD fact is you don't know spit about Ralph's mental capacity, yet you have no problem declaring him senile. When Ralph speaks in public there is nothing to indicate he has anything aproaching senility. He walks & talks a little slower, but once again, there is nothing to indicate anything near senility. Ralph has, what to some, is a weird sense of humor. He's always done things like laugh out of frustration at the team like he did after the Toronto game. I've been listening to the guy since he was my current age & the content of his words haven't changed very much. It's one thing to not like what he does, it's quite another to question his mental capacity when you don't agree with him. You really need to meet some older people with sound minds, it would be a good lesson for you.
