Scroll down, on the right, click the video for "Troops in Mosul speak with Sean Hannity"
Sounds like they're sick of the media too. And, stupid Politicians.

God Bless those Hero's.
It is always good to hear from soldiers themselves but what i don't get is if they're sick of the media and politicians, why do they seem so down with Hannity, who is just a twisted amalgamation of the worst elements of both? He is on radio and TV hours everyday spewing tired ass talking points that he gets from...politicians! Instead of speaking about the war on a regular basis on his show, there are umpteen features on Natalie Holloway and the poor lacrosse boys from Duke.
I'm glad he actually went over there but come on Hannity is a giant toolbox -
Is it just the voices in my head or haven't all the recent super bowl champions had above average to great TEs? Pitt has a great young TE in Miller last year, even though his production is off this year. And the Pats have had at least one, sometimes two good TEs on their championship teams. The bills in their heyday had a borderline HOF TE in Pete Metzelaars. Royal isn't even in the same league as any of these guys. Compound that with the facts that we: 1) have a young QB who could really use a mobile, sure-handed TE as an outlet, and 2) we don't have a true 3rd down Reggie Bush/Kevin Faulk type of receiving tailback as a subsistute, and it really doesn't suprise me we are going to lose 9 games this year.

The Bills are fine at linebacker especially if we sign London. We need to get a big fat lineman on both sides of the line: one a run-stopper, and the other a roadpaver. The Bills do not open enough holes for Willis. He gets a LOT of yards on his own.
We need a speedy third down back who can catch and a tall receiver for the red zone.
Really? You aren't concerned about Spikes slowing down due to age and his recent injuries? You are really that confident in Ellison and Crowell, considering their mediocrity, especially in the Tampa 2? You think Fletch has a number of good years left in him? OK just making sure.

Because, quite simply, we are a BAD team, despite what all the optimists say. And I say we are bad because at the pro level, showing "flashes" of progress, or development, or talent, or whatever you want to call it just doesn't cut it, period. "GOOD" teams are good for one reason above all others: they are consistent - the coaches consistently gameplan correctly and the players consistently execute on the field. It has been a long time since the bills possessed this quality.

It has become PAINFULLY obvious over the course of the season that the bills need a substantial overhaul on the defensive line and linebacker core. Personally I say keep Shoebel and Fletcher for sure but everybody else has either been inconsistent or just plain sh*tty. Some decent players in those units, like Crowell, don't look like they're comfortable in the present scheme (Cover 2). The Cover 2 just puts too much coverage responsiblity on the young secondary unit to allow them to offer the front 7 the run stopping support they seem to constantly need. Tripplett was a waste, Kelsay and Denney really don't consistently close gaps, Williams is young so hopefully he will get better. It kills me to say this because i'm such a fan but Spikes is injured and old and probably needs to go. The rest of the LB's (besides Fletch of course) look rather mediocre.
My dream come true: we focus at least 2 of our top three draft picks on these two units and pick up a stud free agent LB. Tampa 2 essentially requires a stout front 7 with at least one (preferably 2) fat ass mean bastards at the DT positions. If the bills are committed to staying with their present defensive philosophy, I hope they address these units immediately this off-season. That's my Christmas wish.

Buffalo is in the US. It should not matter that it borders that tundra but some people equate proximity with similarity. They must think that the lack of a border wall means that there are many Canadians in Buffalo.
The truth is that they spread out all over once they get here. Trust me, Indiana has too many Canadians and it is not really close to the border at all. I know that one Canadian is too many but there are a lot everywhere. Indiana is just an example I'm using. The problem is the same in other states too. I think they should build that border wall the republicans want. It can't hurt.
I think they should deport Canadian sex symbol Celine Dion to send a message.
Is this Canada-bashing supposed to be a joke or are you just an !@#$? And as far as those morons on FSN, so sorry we WNYers have to rough it up here in the hinterlands, but I guess the same could be said for Detroit, or Seattle? I mean, Canada encroaches on them too don't it?

Not a big fan of clayton either -- he has made little attempt to hide his distain for the bills and Ralph Wilson in the past. He whined when Wilson and the Bengals owner voted against the new CBA last year. Plus he just looks and sounds like a friggin weenie.

I say a move to the North would be phenomenal. C'mon the old AFL rivalries have passed. The North teams -- especially the Steelers and Browns -- are the teams with fans, cities and style of play that are most similar to the Bills. If you put the Bills in this division, new rivalries would develop fast. Maybe the Rothilsberger-Losman comparisons would rival the the Marino-Kelly comparisons. Let's face it, the Buffalo-Miami rivalry is not there anymore. Let's move on.
Sooo.. why would these rivalries develop exactly? I don't see any real REASONING in this little spray of brain diarrhea. Because the cities of Buffalo, Pitt, and Cleveland are "similar" new rivalries will develop fast. Well sorry to spoil your party, but our biggest current rivalry (albeit not as heated as it once was) flies right in the face of this argument.
-
JP is just now starting to come on and produce consistently and you're ready to extend his contract? Losman has enough people on this board polishing his knob already. He has only played the equivalent of ONE season starting -- it isn't time to lock him up for another 6 years because of a couple of good games.
-
That's great What is your point? Who on this board criticizes losman's charity or humanitarianism? Anyone who does is obviously full of sh-- because they don't know him personally. The valid criticism, the criticism I have, is with his on-field play. This article is nice, but doesn't amount to anything you knob.

Sorry but I went to BC and #32 Kiwanuka is going to be a total f*cking bust -- you are already seeing shades of it the past 3 weeks -- 2 bonehead plays 2 consecutive weeks. Sure he has got the physicality, but he has NOTHING, ZERO, ZIP upstairs. He is goddamn stupid for a defensive lineman, and that is saying something.
-
No problem. Sorry to mock you, but that cracked my up.
Seriously, Ralph is doing all he can to say he'd like to keep the Bills in the area and warn he may not be able to. If ever there was a way to solicit local offers....
The only down side is that he is doing so much to stress the financial hardship, he might actually be scaring away potential buyers. If he can sway the league, then he will have hit a home run and I'm sure he'll get offers.
Personally, I suspect his family will sell the team shortly after he passes, likely to the highest bidder.
Luckily it isn't as simple as all that. There are numerous costly hoops a potential buyer must jump through before the league as a whole will sign off on an ownership sale.

The problem I have with this "big market" is that how many more such "big market" cities are there that do not have an NFL team. When I mean "big market" it has to be a substantial revenue stream....For example the Redskins made about 100M more in revenue than the Bills. Is there another city that can generate a disparate revenue or even half of that. I think the answer is no.
The next in line cities other than LA are may be a San Antonio or a Portland. However I don't think any of those cities can provide that kind of revenue stream and are more likely to be in the side where Buffalo belongs. It is also going to be hard for any team to move to LA considering the # of potential issues to face from lawsuits from Al Davis to building a new stadium, to multiple other franchises wanting to move there (San Diego, Jacksonville).
The biggest obstacle to the Bills moving, i think, is the actual dearth of viable markets for future nfl teams. I studied this problem the past year in my Sports Law class at UB Law. It was the opinion of many (including my professor's) that the west coast market (including LA) is incapable of supporting another franchise. The past LA teams failed to generate sustained interest, the (real) people just stopped going. Move up the coast (portland) and there is even less clamor for a team. Also, the majority of the league (east coast) hates going over there. The texas market is dominated by the cowboys with their national fan base, so i don't think san antonio is a viable option. Sure our economy sucks here, but even in "hot" economic zones in the sun / bible belt, the teams there (titans, panthers) are marketed as regional teams to generate interest, much like new england.
Best case, the team stays put and eventually we get some stadium money as well, at least enough for renovations to generate more revenue.
Worst case, I see the Bills perhaps attempting to embrace that sort of "regional" identity that more and more teams are using. They could move somewhere closer to the center of the regional fanbase, i.e. Hamilton, St. catharines or even toronto. Who knows what you would call the team then, but the southern ontario peninsula seems like a "buzz" area right now for sports franchises -- remember there is presently talk of also moving a NHL franchise to hamilton as well.

Lets try and not turn this into a "The Bills are moving" thread like every other thread on this board. Lets discuss possible owners for the future, and what plans YOU would make if you were Ralph Wilson before he dies.
Personally if I were running the show, I would try to get Tom Golisano to become a half owner of the Bills right now. Then upon the death of Ralph Wilson, Golisano would take over the full reins of the team.
Who else has a suggestion?
I am not too familiar with the region's tremenously wealthy, outside of golisano, so I don't really have any ideas for future owners. I do have a question however: Does anybody know of / heard of Golisano ever expressing (in public) any level of interest in buying the bills? I only ask because it would seem that he would be an ideal owner for the team as far as keeping them in the area.

Maybe this guy would look good in a Bill's uniform!
Might he end up deciding on baseball? I'd rather take a guy with only one pro option.

1. Very well coached game. There were a few times I wanted Jauron to go for it on 4th down and we did not ... and well ... he was right.
2. Aaron Schobel now leads the the league in sacks with a career high 12.5 sacks this season.
3. Boy I love watching McGahee run like that. Would love to see it more often.
4. Another steller game by Clements. Blanketed his receiver, delivered a nice hit in the first half, and had a critical INT for a TD.
5. Josh Reed still cant seem to catch a darn ball consistantly ...
Decent points but you forgot the biggest one, IMO, that won the game for the bills today: DISCIPLINE. Only 2 or 3 penalties all game --> that is how you win and win consistently, by not fielding a squad of boneheads. The coaching staff has finally got these guys playing hard AND smart. That's key.

Don't have a youtube link yet, but just saw the video of the Mexican legislators punching, kicking, throwing chairs at each other in the Congressional chambers. This all on the eve of the new mexicants' president's swearing in. Hilarious stuff. If anyone finds the link please post -- you will have a laugh.

WOW?! I've only been on this board for a little while but if its people like mv chiming in with sh-- like this maybe I should go...buddy you need to calm down. Standing up the whole game (or even most of the game) is not only a waste of energy, it's idiotic. I'm only 25 with no kids but the earlier poster was right man you've got to show a bit of courtesy to those shorter than you..especially children. God willing these are the people who will be buying tickets to see the bills 25 years from now when you are too rickety to stand the entire game anymore. Get over yourself you don't prove you're a die hard fan by standing the whole f'n game and ruining the experience for those behind you who very well may be at their very first bills game...And people wonder why we don't sell out recently (sabres have something to do with it). I tailgated next to a father..single parent from canada last game (jax) who was there with his 7 year old. It was their 1st football game EVER. Luckily I saw them in the parking lot after the game and they said they had a great time and I encouraged them to come back to the Ralph...needless to say, I'm glad they weren't sitting behind YOU. = D-BAG

My point, and maybe I didn't make it clear enough, is that King's metaphor was just totally ridiculous and indicative of the complete hosing the bills consistently receive by king and many others in the national football media (Berman excepted). king is no scribe, he is a windbag with connections in the league that allow him to break stories early. And last I checked (I lived in Boston for 4 years) Gillette had some pretty consistent brutal winds as well, and soldier field can't be a picnic to punt in either. So save the gruesome attempts at symbolism, pete, and just tell us who is making trade inquiries for jake plummer or whomever.

Thats great but at this point the predicting is getting really pointless. Look at just this past month: miami beating chicago? tennessee beating ny? The BILLS almost beating Indy in Indy? Chances are the Bills aren't going to win out, but i wouldn't rule out any of these games as hopeless for the Bills, who are playing quite well right now.

Jesse Jackson and the others like him left their actual concern for civil rights back in the 60's. He is a politician now, the same as any number of crooked white politicos you see on a given day. And if there is one thing politicians love, its a photo opportunity. Sheeit, Jesse is in the news pretty much every time there is a legal action involving black person(s) against white person(s).
Don't be surprised, its all about the $$$ baby.
