That's what the NWA Mechancs union said. "Planes will fall out of the sky if you don't bring us back," they cried. Funny, nothing's happened.... Oh, that's not true -- they re-hired some of the striking mechanics at lower salaries months later. I know nothing about the details of this strike, but in my limited experience, I've yet to see an instance where unions are good in today's environment. CW

Well, if you want to play that angle... Swarm Performance Team (Swarmettes? ): http://mnswarm.com/team/PerformanceTeam.asp CW

So how unethical would it be for me to buy the movie on the way home tomorrow and, if I happen to get it for Xmas, to return the unopened Xmas one to the store with my receipt from tomorrow...? I really want to see the flick again!!! CW

That was my first Bills game and it was AWESOME! I was still in highschool and my parents told me I could go but that I couldn't miss school the next day... We didn't get back from the game until around 3am (tailgating after the great come-from-behind victory), and I somehow staggered to school the next day, not that I remember a thing about the day CW

League: http://www.nll.com/ Buffalo Bandits: http://www.bandits.com/ Minnesota Swarm: http://www.mnswarm.com Tickets are cheap, and the sport is a ton of fun to watch (think of a cross between hockey and basketball; and yes, there are occasionally fights like in hockey). CW

And the best part was that Minnesota won. CW

I'd be cool with that. CW

I thought everyone was supposed to buy ME a copy?! Nice quote from the review: CW

From what was said on draft day, the Raiders were going to take him at the end of the first round. Besides, who else would we have taken? Everyone wanted Kelsay at the time. Guess what? We got him too. This thread now has TD resposnible for picking up RJ? Ummm, TD wasn't here then, was he? Didn't we get RJ in '98 or so? CW

I always type CW at the end of my emails, and it just carried over here. CW

I was *really* hoping it'd be on Pay Per View, so I could record it in HD... But alas... I'll wait to see if some kind soul buys it for me for Xmas. if not, I'll go out early next week and buy it. Anyone see the commercials for it this Sunday during football? They were pretty lame... But I guess lame advertising is better than no advertising. Maybe... No power in the 'verse can stop me! CW

Doesn't make him bad either.

Well, are you agreeing with the original poster that Branch is elite then? I'm hoping not, but I'm not 100% sure... That's my biggest argument -- if Branch is eliete, then our team is stacked. CW

The backups suck too. They're all scrubs, or they'd be starting. Blow up everything, start over from scratch, starting with the networks.

This is the first year he's played. He has three sacks, an INT, a FF, several pass defenses. He's haredly "always out of position." He shows a lot of potential. If JP gets a pass because of his inexperience, why doesn't Crowell? CW

McGee? Moorman? McGahee has shown tons of potential (faster player to 2000 yards in Bills history says something, IMHO; he's been slacking the last 4-6 weeks though). Evans? Come on, if you put Branch on the list, Evans has to be there (sans the Broncos game); the guy had 3 TDs in one game, compared to Branch's 4 TDs all season. CW

I'm not saying he's a Probowl player, but he's hardly terrible I'm just trying to get my head around the fact that people around here think that every player on our roster sucks, but every player on every other roster is "elite" (like Branch!) I guess I should just realize that people in general seem to like being negative and critical all the time, and just let it go. CW

Larry Brown got Super Bowl MVP too. Doesn't mean he was elite. It's just nonsense to say we have no elite players, and then say a player like Branch is elite. CW

So all of our players suck, and all of the players on other teams are "elite" (including Branch...). Gotcha. Sorry, I never read the initiation handbook. CW

Ah, so TD is punished for signing good FA LBs as well. Makes sense to me.

Did you read Sound n Fury's post above yours...? The grass is always greener on the other side, isn't it? CW

I disagree. He showed GREAT promise his first season or two, and has been one of JPLs favorite targets this season. Last year he looked terrible, but I think he'll still develop into a very good threat, and I'd be surprised if he isn't re-signed this offseason. CW

I'm still not convinced that, aside from the OL (and to a lesser extent, the DL), that we're not a good team. Look what we did last year, for example? You can fault TD for not picking up enough quality OL (and DL), but you can't really fault him for the picks he has made; the only real "bust" so far is MW (whom I'm convinced will go elsewhere and have a good, if not great, career). CW

Show me a GM who makes all good picks. The draft is a crap shoot, plain and simple.
