  1. So sorry. I cannot even imagine life without my wife of 40 years. I pray to the Good Lord to help you thru your sadness
  2. Here is their Top 50: http://www.ourlads.c...ft/2014/2356481 For those not familiar with Ourlad's. From their web site: Ourlads' Scouting Services was the first to use computers to monitor, evaluate, and rate the talent. It has developed complex algorithms through the years and also has developed a comprehensive set of databases to be harvested. Ourlads was also the first to produce newsletters pertaining to the draft dating back to 1987. Their computer "Ourlads" comes up with a ranking of players; top 50 in this instance and those top 50 are plugged into the top 50 draft slots. So while they show it as a mock draft, this is also their top 50 players according to their computer
  3. Ourlads doesn't have Mack rated that high on their draft board : http://www.ourlads.com/nfl-mock-draft/2014/ and write-up : 17 Dallas Khalil Mack OLB Buffalo 6030 245 4.65 The Cowboys need to generate a pass rush opposite Demarcus Ware in the Tampa-2. Mack can widen out and bring it. His versatility as a hand-in-the-dirt pass rusher or a standup outside linebacker helps his stock. He features an explosive and sudden first step when rushing the passer. For the past four years he has been a disruptive playmaker despite teams’ accounting for him on every play. He led the Bulls with 100 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 10.5 sacks, 3 interceptions, 10 passes defended, and 5 forced fumbles. NEEDS: DE/PR,CB,S,DT
  4. All these commercials are lame. The dumbing down in America is alive and well
  5. Exactly...1000 times exactly !!! Plus IM just fed up with all the gushing and kissing of the feet of these low-lifes by the media.
  6. As I remember didn't Buddy Nix say he wanted to have a franchise QB in place before he retired? I don't believe it was a big risk at all in waiting to draft EJ Manuel. Many had him as a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Haven't dug out my draft guides but a quick search on The Sporting News produced this : http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/draft/2013/round/1/pick/16 " As a two- to three-year project with excellent physical tools, Manuel is a respectable third-round prospect. " Most quarterbacks are way overdrafted. Its the nature of the Draft Beast. Did Buddy Nix force the issue ? Maybe, but it is just too early to know for certain one way or the other with Manuel. I have read like many others here that EJ Manuel is smart and that he has the size. Trent Edwards had the arm, size and supposed smarts but joined the long list of duds as a quarterback of the Buffalo Bills. I expect Doug Whaley to stick with EJ Manuel for at least the next two years unless he plays himself right out of being thought of as a NFL starting quarterback this coming season. In my opinion I doubt Doug Whaley will draft another quarterback before the fourth round. I can see Whaley being agressive in FA for a back-up QB with the understanding in private with said quarterback IS TO BACK-UP EJ Manuel and in public espousing the benefits of a quarterback competition and ya-da ya-da ya-da with the coach-speak and outright disingenuous verbiage that comes out of the mouths of General Managers in the National Football League. The Bills have this down to perfection so anything said about players or positions before the draft or for that matter before the first game in September is just words, blowing in the wind.
  7. Wife likes the McDonald fries but I prefer the fries made at Teds Hotdog. There is a Red Robin off the 219 on Milestript I would like to try someday
  8. Very interesting thanks. Here is a You Tube bit on the Lockport Locks. Been by them 1000's of times going to Medina & Ridgeway in the last 50 years but never knew that much about them :
  9. Three very lucky people. I think something like this also happened on Chicago's drive along the waterfront a year or two ago. I don't believe anyone was hurt in that landing either.
  10. Like I said, Silly Season is here. He said a whole lot of nothing.
  11. The "Silly Season" has started for teams not in the playoffs. I take with "a grain of salt" what any team says about draft needs, position upgrades or any comment on any draftable player.
  12. We haven't seen nutten yet, wait until there is a full moon Then the insanity will be taken to a new level
  13. Their one "day in the sun " only to fade into obscurity. Irks me like hell that this team plays small against third and fourth stringers, year after year.
  14. Just cut this POS a$$ and take Dareus with him ...half this team is a bunch of stiffs
  15. Same here, kick the c*** out of Brady. Beat them up. Time for the Bills to put their stamp on the AFC East....we're here boys and we'll be coming back even stronger next year !!
  16. Ourlads has Mack at 18 on their early big board. With a decent Combine and school workout he has a chance to push his stock higher
  17. I know one thing...I'll never buy another car that doesn't have Sirius/XM radio installed. NFL radio is always very good IMHO plus any major sporting event is usually broadcast plus the wide range of music and news stations. John Murphy is OK most of the time and am happy that he is back on talk radio where he started many years ago on WBEN. John has always been really well liked by all at OBD and I never heard anything negative. Nothing phoney about John Butler; he loves what he is doing and enjoys bantering back and forth with fans during a Q&A sessions after some of our meetings in the press box or in either the Paul McGuire or Van Miller Clubs Chris Parker (The Bulldog) is a smart man that knows his sports and had a really nice show when he was on-air by himself; at first on WBEN. I believe it was 7 to 9 or 10. Then they paired him up with Schoop who feels sports reporting is beneath him and shows the world how much he hates doing a sports talk radio show. He has the Bully Pulpit and by GOD he is going to put all his peons (listeners) in their place because I have superior intelligence. Thank God that now I don't have to my ear-drums assulted by his self-centered blather. I can't for the life of me find out why once sharp sports guys like Simon (from WNAI ?? not sure that's correct) and the Bulldog from WBEN go over to WGR and become brain dead;- and start usuing language like my 11 year old niece
