mary owen Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I was watching on ESPN only bc the bar here in Portland was showing that coverage......so if you watched the ESPN coverage it was kind of robotic. But I just found this NFLN video of their coverage......everyone loved the pick.....and Deon Sanders interviewed CJ....enjoy http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-draft/09000d...ls-take-Spiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels good for a Buffalo 1st pick to actually be praised for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary owen Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 also, I need to ask, did anyone else see Berman lose his cool? it was during the Tebow pick (actually right before).....ESPN was seguing in from a "feel good draft flashback" but the camera was on the crew too early I suppose, and caught Gruden saying to Kyper something to the affect of "....they should say its a crazy league with a lot of dumb ass ....(picks?)...." and Kiper starts cracking up as Berman tries to distract and pull things together. It was pretty funny...then even funnier was another time where Berman started freaking out b/c the camera was on them while they were talking "off mic". Good stuff...unitentional comedy... I was drinking quite heavily at the time, so maybe I am not recounting it very accurately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjohns85 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 did you guys hear mayock say, spiller had 52 tds in his college career and 21 of those went for 50 or more yards. that is f*cking redicilous and i am very happy with this pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Barry Sanders umm no we need guys you can win with which is why they didn't knock Barry's door down with offers when he retired I always thought that was because Detroit owned his rights and he said he didn't want to play at all anymore.

ajzepp Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I feel great about this pick...seems like a humble, hard working kid that we'll be able to take a lot of pride in as one of our own. Welcome to B-lo, CJ!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I just went back on my DVR and watched Gruden absolutely going off in his praise of Spiller. It feels good for a Buffalo 1st pick to actually be praised for once. Saw that too. Overall, I wasn't impressed with ESPN's coverage. Everything seemed scrambled. They were all clumsy after the Spiller pick except JG. This vid from NFLN was much crisper and these guys were better prepared, IMO. Thanks for the link!

Sherman Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I was texting with my nephew as he watched ESPN and I watched NFL Network. He said everyone on ESPN with the exception of Gruden was killing us and saying these kinds of decisions are why we lose. On NFL Network, they loved it. He is a playmaker, can score from anywhere on the field, for what they want to do he's perfect... I just think ESPN is a buch of Egos who think if people don't agree with their assessment then they are wrong. Kiper and McShay both suck. I trust Mike Mayock's opinion much more than those two ESPN hacks. If the Bills were not sold on any LT or NT I'm fine with the "playmaker". I just hope they can address their "needs" later in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jangalang Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 What made me feel more safe about this pick was how NFLN said he was an Academic All American who graduated in 3.5 years. That tells me we didn't take an immature guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLflutie7 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 did you guys hear mayock say, spiller had 52 tds in his college career and 21 of those went for 50 or more yards. that is f*cking redicilous and i am very happy with this pick. I heard Mayock say that in Path to the Draft and that's an over the top number. He's by far the best player in round 1. The Bills did the best in round one.

I was drinking quite heavily at the time, so maybe I am not recounting it very accurately I don't know what was happening with the production last night, but there were about five instances of the camera/mic being live when the ESPN guys were not aware they were on, either coming back from commercial or cutting back from the podium. Also, Tom Jackson looked drunk. Also looked like he wanted to punch Steve Young in the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster4324 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 i hope you are joking. if not, you are a retard Like drafting a young Barry Sanders (his comparison, not mine) would be a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
