Dr. Fong Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 This doesn't ring true to me. For the most part only losing teams look for new coaches. How many losing teams have established QBs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloaggie Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I don't know what you're talking about but the term "Kitch 22" is derived from an anthropology team that went to study primative cultures in 1922. Â They happened upon a group of people so stupid that when confronted with a decision...any decision, they would either choose the wrong answer or confuse the issue so much that there became a situation with no right answer. The people were so stupid they literally had no chance of getting anything right. Their entire coutry was filled with dumb people, but this place was especially backward. Â After a while this stupidity started wearing off on the anthropolgists. They had to get out of there before they became part of the crowd. They wrote a reoprt in a scientific journal called "Kitchener 1922". It became "Kitch 22" for short. Did you play Balderdash much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to hear a report from the original anthropologists on how the culture has evolved over the better part of a century. Even if said scientists no longer exist, surely experts could compare notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Kelly Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 "Kitch 22" may also simply be "Catch 22" translated into WNY-ease. Â For instance, "Dat der Cowher problem is a rill Kitch 22 ... but I swears I seen 'em drivin' down da two-nineny dis mornin, right byes da big blue wadder tower der." That was nice...

iinii Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Some coaches inherit great rosters (Gruden), others develop them (Belicheck) and some have them thrust upon them (Cowher). Then there is the Bills.... While shedding nary a tear, I can say we are better off anyway. Kitch all that ? That is funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â How about a previous post in this thread - "I'm damned to being a smartass if I mock you out for this retarded error" Â Ironic that they use the term "retarded error" in the phrase. Â Nobody outside of WNY says "mock you out" or "mocked out". In the rest of the English speaking western world it's simply "mocked". How that got started I don't know, but I can almost hear the newly arriving Polish immigrant fashioning that one in Buffalo. e.g. - "Ma, dat der Irish kid down da street der was "mocking me out" for wearing doze side-buckle rubber boots an' a ear-flap hat when it's 40 degrees der. I tole him to go shovel his driveway. Dat was before I noticed it was melted der" Â And yes - Catch-22 was a phrase popularized after the Heller novel and subsequent 1970 movie by the same name.

BoBills20 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 From a coach who only finally won the Super Bowl with a rookie QB? Roethlesberger was not a rookie when the Steelers won, he won in '05, Ben's sophmore year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is definitely not WNY talk ... sounds more like a Yuper. My wife's labor nurse for our second child was a Yuper and I couldn't understand a word she said for 12 hours ...

JimBob2232 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Did you play Balderdash much? Â Hillarious. I was going to post the same thing! Â Also, "primitive cultures in 1922". I have a hard time believing Teddy Roosevelt lived in a Primitive Culture...and he was a good 20 years before 1922! Â But I have to love your tenacity Crayons!
