Yes. Also, Halftime? Might be the fourth best track on the Illmatic. A rare treat, never sounds dated, belongs in any hip hop lover's top 10 albums. May be even top 5.

There is a veritable gold mine to be had in this thread. I'll offer these two one-hit-wonders: Spacehog--In the Meantime Superdrag--Sucked Out Also this: http://goo.gl/RA1WKF

A lot of experts here taking stock in things said before training camp. I'm sure their response would be just as spirited if the news was how awesome EJ was looking.

He was only a hero on his way out the door. His goat status from Sept 2013-Jan 2014 is well documented here.

Well, duh.

This list lost a lot of credibility when Jimmy Graham wasn't even on it in 2013. That said, receiving accolades and recognition from your peers certainly trumps acknowledgement from fans, may be even the press, too.

Guys, please. Indigenous Americans is the preferred nomenclature.

To the defibrillators!

Who's making those excuses?

...had the news been glowing

I guess I (stupidly) overlooked the nuance there. Should have known better. At this point, the only thing TG deserves is our pity. What a miserable human.

I'd be one of the last people on the face of the planet to defend Graham. But keeping morale high by pumping the serious-brakes in June makes perfect sense.

Seriously. Does Graham EVER move his rock to say something positive?

BECAUSE IT'S JUNE

I'm serious. Do you really think there's a possibility that a majority of Bills nation would prefer Thad over EJ? Do you need a poll to tell you that Thad has--at best--half the support of EJ, that he'd be lucky to get 33 out of 100 Bills fans to prefer him over EJ? As of right now, 8 people have voted. And I'm telling you, the one guy who voted for Thad over EJ (if it wasn't you) is a troll. Slow day at Eric Cantor campaign headquarters?

I'm really warming up to Beerball's $20 topic toll for noobs.

What if this board had a search function to find ideas that have been shared no less than 100 times since February?

Dean's profile says he's lurked as recently as last Friday.

Uh...I got some friends who would argue otherwise. Scariest moment of my life was whipping around the winding, hilly roads of Rte. 15 in Central PA doing triple digits after my buddy had just ripped a blunt.

The same people who were concerned by the media coverage are the ones telling us that there's nothing that happens in June to be excited about. You can't have it both ways. It happens every year.

I guess the biggest difference being Schwartz has had success within one two decades of his hiring.

There were some who were excited. It's interesting, though, the board's pessimists rarely recall their own input. Not everyone was thrilled. I wasn't.

General statement here: Given the vastly shallow resource pool from which all 32 NFL teams draw their plan A's, it annoys me to no end the frustration some fans express over the Bills strategy to secure a plan B. Newsflash, folks: rare is the NFL team who marches right along once their starter goes down.
