You can always go the Vegas route and plunk a grand or 2 down per ticket on them to win the AFCCG. If they win, a bunch of your costs are covered.

Please God, make this title go away

Brandon was GM for the Maybin pick, and Manual was clearly Whaley's guy, thus the save-his-own-ass idiotic trade up for Super Sammy. There's plenty of reasons to go after Nix if you're so inclined- no need to rewrite the man's work. I liked Nix overall. Poor guy was stuck between ol' 'cash to cap' and having a frickin' concrete weight in Doug Whaley chained to his leg. But we actually looked like a football team out there. For the first time in a decade I didn't feel like an NFL Europe team got plopped into the middle of the AFC East. sure we didn't seriously compete with NE, but we did finally beat them under his tenure. I like Nix.

RD 1, Pick 23: CB Kaiir Elam, Florida
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
Looking at the Bills coaching staff with DB's reminds me a lot of what the Dodgers do with pitchers. If Zierlein's write up here is close to accurate, this is all fixable.. except maybe the run D/tackling- that'll be up to his teammates to correct and inspire. Sounds like a 2 year project who is going to get thrown into the fire day 1, whether he likes it or not: By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst Draft Projection Round 1 NFL Comparison Jaylon Johnson Overview Elam is the next up in a long line of talented Florida cornerbacks, but he failed to play his best football in his final collegiate season. He is patient and strong to mirror and impede releases but inconsistent staying connected to the early stages of the route. He plays with good awareness in zone and has the twitch and length to make plays on the throw when squatting in space. He was beat on deep patterns against Alabama, Arkansas and Georgia, which might have led to excessive grabbing and an overall lack of trust in his technique on the 2021 tape. He plays big at the catch point but smaller in run support. Elam has early CB3 and eventual CB2 value as a press and zone corner. Strengths Desired size, length and strength for press man. Well-balanced with ability to crowd and stuff the release. Patient feet rarely fall for release fakes. Able to swivel hips and pursue with fluidity. Mirrors shifting routes with basketball agility. Rarely bites on the cheese against double moves. Allows receiver to close the cushion for him in Cover 3 and quarters coverage. Squeezes deep sideline routes with physicality. Contested catches are typically tilted in his favor. Solid transition quickness to plant and drive on the throw. Some improvement in his tackling on 2021 tape. Weaknesses Loses his leverage unnecessarily. Allows a little too much clearance early in the route. Needs better open-and-sprint timing when squatting underneath. Vertical specialists can overtake and stack him. Inconsistent digesting route combinations. Too much panic and grab in his 2021 tape. Can improve his eye balance between the man and the ball. Doesn't play to his size in run support duties. Inconsistent coming to balance as open-field tackler. -

Smart move. Don't know much about the prospect, but with 2 safeties who can cover his rookie ass while we wait for #1 to get healthy- I like this concept. Now trade up and get us a bad-ass LB or RB. -

My Bills are drafting for Power So excited, I might need a shower Oh where, oh where is Bill Cowher

You saw a reaction, and thought , 'Oh! Somebody loves my contribution to a thread about people who cheer for terrible baseball teams!' No. Eff you all. Go Dodgers. And just even try to tell me any of your soot-ridden, flatulent shitholes you suffer through 9 innings at is anything like Dodger Stadium at a brilliant sunset. Giants??? Oh, c'mon, your old-school fans are legit, heart-broken, misguided and mildly lovable, but the new crop are 99 and 44/100ths dbags. **** the Metropolonitas, and *** the Barry Bondses Enjoy the season, you hapless losers-to-be. to note- I'm not too happy about losing to Kenley on the Braves tonight. He blew it at the worst times with us... but tonight, nuthin.

Gilmore to colts… Bills WERE interested
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall
We drafted the guy in the first round, and he just.didn't.seem.to.care while he was here- same with Marshawn, his best run was when Brad Butler picked him up and chucked him for a first down. No loss, don't care. -

Jack White: The Rolling Stones Copied The Beatles
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to Gugny's topic in Off the Wall
A lot of it seems that way, but I gotta admit I found 'Fell in Love With a Girl' ***** thrilling when it first dropped. It was total Kinks, 'You Really Got Me', but it was the closest I'll probably ever get to hearing something like that Kinks bomb-drop in my lifetime. -

Jack White: The Rolling Stones Copied The Beatles
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to Gugny's topic in Off the Wall
Actually I'd rank this among McCartney's finest solo/Wings work. Because it's forgettable god he made some awful dreck I'm more of a Who/Kinks/other guy, but both bands had some good songs/'eras'. I never got a sense of much similarity between the two, other than following similar American trends, and looking back at the whole of the 60's, the Beatles were kind of the McDonalds of 60's rock and the Stones were a bit more Flame Broiled. -

Reaching an epic low with the 14 helmet stripes and Jammy-Panel uniforms... and a drought Bills ownership needs to thank their lucky-gods there was a fan left standing by that team. We had to cheer for a frickin' PUNTER for 12 years... -
Summerall made golf watchable, and helped make watching football a Sunday institution. Madden helped in his goofball way later on, but it was Summerall who made watching 6+ hours of Sunday football something the wives were just going to have to deal with. The original Monday Night Football crew invented that time slot. Who the hell cared about Monday night until That Show hit the airwaves. Gumble's an ego-driven mediocrity- what he's saying is currently pretty true, but he's saying it because he was never worth a damn as a broadcaster, therefore his ego tells him nobody is worth a damn. And there have been a TON of great local/team broadcasters too. Gumble's always been a tool.

You don't draft a guard in the 1st ... or do you?
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to Thurman#1's topic in The Stadium Wall
First round on interior offensive line to me means they make those around them better. Attitude, athleticism, smarts/qb of the OL, whatever they bring, they have to elevate the line as a whole to spend a first on them. Beyond that I'm looking at a lower round and relying on coaching to make a cohesive unit. -
Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett replied to Big Blitz's topic in Off the Wall
“Denzel said to me a few minutes ago, at your highest moment, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you…” Smith quotedWashington there- my question is, does Smith interpret the devil to be his own ego and pride, or does his ego see that as outside forces out to tear him down?
