Niagara Bill

No, but the fight between Flutie and Johnson was never settled. I think they should both enter the squared circle on the 50 yard line and with "Mean Gene Okerland" as referee, should have a cage match until there is a clear winner. RJ can use wet noodles as a weapon and Flutie could use Flutie Flakes. The curse would then be removed.

Personally I think it was a fifth rate writer on a second rate paper about a 4th rate coach on a first rate team. I.ve got a head ache just reading this.

I bet he can't watch you either

This entire thread is somewhat off balance. This whole case and result is a commentary on society ills, economic and educational in particular. Most of the B&W issue is based on these problems in 2013. This is the same reaction to "if the glove doesn't fit you must acquit". I recall the exact reaction when OJ beat the "man". If this verdict comes out in January there are no protests.

Good post until you get to the point the Bills offer is sub-market. That only is true if you think Byrd fits in that order in the market. I for one have always believe that Byrd is soft and he is the typical Parker client. Focus on $$$$ and nothing on team. I can accept any player who is 75% money and 25% team...family comes first...but 100% money usually comes from players who lack real fortitude for the game.

Why do the Bills have to sign Byrd? He needs to sit for the season. I don't see him in the top category of safeties..

Parker has always been about the money. He has shown that is his only concern...see M. Crabtree as an example. I am not saying that is bad for his client, but as a Bills fan who wants the best for the team our goals make the team approach and his approach on money only significantly different. There is no middle when you are not on the same page. I spent 30 years bargaining labor contracts. I have met "Parkers". Why do you never tell the car salesman that you love the car. Because he is about "money" and you about " the car and money" and he wins.

Here is what I think about bargaining people like Parker. He does not respect the game , for him it is about money and no other item appears on his list I believe the only way for the Bills or any other team to deal with Parker is to be the same. What Parker does is wait until the team shows it's priority to football and then he gets what he wants. Either a contract or a trade. In either case he gets the money. As a great negotiator Herb Cohen says...it is not about the money it is about the MONEY. If the Bills make a respectful offer they must then be prepared to allow Byrd to sit out. It must be about the money for the Bills as well. It appears to me the even if Byrd comes to camp, he will not play well, he will be disruptive. He must understand it is his career, not Parker's money game. No game, no money.

Tim Graham is having a tough time holding onto a job...someone needs to write a story about him and what may be wrong with him. Just Sayin'

This will not be about the PC police..it will be the lawyers and the courts that will be the death of football. I question the step that has the NFL involved in little leagues across the country. That is the direct link the trial lawyers would be looking for. Follow the $$$$$$$.

You don't get it. It is our job to rip anything that has to do with the Jests...we hate them and wish the team and all their players coaches and staff nothing but bad luck and bad performances. I would think that after your 5000 posts you may have figured out this is a pro Bills venue...but then again a Jests fan can't read as I hear it. So get it straight...Geno Smith = Bust......EJ = HOF

Exactly, no one has done more for this team and community than Jim. If there is some serious issue he has my support and respect. If there is NO issue he has my admiration and respect.

why did they not change the term "at bats" to "ats bat". I have always hated the fact that baseball people allowed such a change since in todays culture the use of a word or phrase is allowed to change and new words developed and added to the dictionary each year. Culture had created the term RBI's not bad English language. I needed to vent on this, thanks. Can anyone think of any other terms the English police have changed?

thanks for the in depth insight into the soul of the government. This is about as clear as a Mel Kiper draft review.

( and Canada is no different than the US in this regard) that the President and Commander and Chief needs to go to the press and call for the closure of Gitmo. Do our leaders have so little power. Can he not just order the military to do it. Are all decisions so political that all must be done through the court of public opinion. Surely is 5 years they could have found the legal way of proceeding. I am not suggesting it should be closed, but seems to me if the C&C wants it done..it should be a simple process. Any comments would be helpful.

Now this is the biggest load of crapola I have heard this week. So, since we plan to throw a lot in a hurry up offence then running backs are not important. We plan on running the ball more and getting more first downs so a punter is not as important. All they are trying to do is cover up that fact they pizzed on Levitre and he left. We tend to eat our own good ones.

Starting to sound a little like Greggo...we'll do it with numbers!

Class guy, very helpful in presenting Bills players for the HOF consideration for many years. Met Larry at camp and he was a sports guy for sure. Loved his columns and looked forward to his post game reflections. R.I.P.

With our draft history there is only a slim chance of picking the right guy and developing him in any event. Whether we draft a QB this year, trade a first round pick for one (RJ), or draft next year I will not be sad or happy. We did not even develop Jim Kelly, he prepared in the USFL. It is easier for us to select McCargo, Maybin, Losman, Patulski vs Bruuuuce. When do something smart we screw it up, like Lynch, McGahee, Levitre etc

if there are such laws on the books it only makes the administration, congress and all their supporters also dumbasses. Sorry if you do not think I am coherent, but I find any argument against some type of control on weapons of mass destruction such AK's simply incoherent. It take no brains to say 2nd admend. Many of the same people who fight for this right support anti abortion and I cannot understand how. If mass murder during abortion is their position how can they not support control on these types of weapons. I am not anti gun, I support hunting, gun clubs, target shooting etc.. In most states you cannot drive a car without a seatbelt, or place your child in a car without proper restraint...but you can walk into a store and buy a weapon of this type of power.. no logic in any of this.

I have been referred to as many things but never liberal...believing that your neighbour who just came from his psych treatment can walk around in his yard with an AK47 (loaded or not) that he bought or received as a gift from another guy he met in treatment does not equate to conservative values especially when my kids are playing in the school yard across the street. So go ahead and hide behind the creeping changes argument that the gun lobby teaches conservatives, it is easier to adopt than to think for yourself.

Sorry for your short sightedness, Can you answer one question. Why do the victims of Boston Marathon have the right to speak out but the victims of Sandy Hook do not have the right to speak out on the proposals in congress.

I don'tI do not understand. Why does the country spend money on the MIT police, Boston Police, Watertown Police, State police, FBI and National Guard. Save the money and let the citizens with their AK 47 do the job. They would have found him and maybe a few others at the same time. For all those who want the 2nd admen. to be so strong this is the only solution. Either put controls on the guns or have the authorities step back and go for it. All those people cheering for the police must have been wrong.

yes really the second amend issue is a non starter. I did not see the police, national guard with the Humvees, the armored vehicles, 2000 officers from agencies from college police force to the FBI openly saying on TV for residents to get out their guns to help stop the crazed 19 yr old. People should have been able to defend their property against a foreign terrorist if the 2nd admen, issue held water. After all chanting USA later was as close as they got to using the 2nd admend. The senate turned down the latest attempt to improve the situation not because they thought it was not going to help enough but because they are owned by the gun lobby....plain and simple. ps I agree the proposal was gutless and ineffective...that in itself should be an embarrassment for the administration.

Frankly I started a new thread and the site operators transferred it to this thread. I think I understand the politics and issue more than you think. My point was simple. The Gun lobby is so powerful for the gun producers ( not the NRA) they buy the votes from representatives who would fix the background checks and the AK47 type issues. I think they are smart enough just married to the money. Why not let people buy bazookas??? That would be crazy just like AK 47s. Married to the money is the real political issue. Strange how they control fertilizer for bombs since OKC but not weapons for mass murder. Money Money. Money. This is not about the 2nd admend. And everyone knows it. Everyone tonight is so happy that thousands of police officers caught 1 man. They are cheered, yet when they tell the Fed representatives in Congress to control the AK problem they are ignored. Explain that please
