C.Biscuit97 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Rachel Phelps equals Jeff Littman/Ralph Wilson. Make owner some money, cut costs (admittedly different scenario than Indians of late 80s) so that team can prosper. Sign a bunch of cheap castoffs, hire a retread coach and play in a bad stadium. Difference is, in Major League the seemingly less than talented team goes to the playoffs. This one isn't headed on such a high trajectory. yup. Ralph's evil plan to get rich was keep a team in a city that has experienced a population decrease every year since the 50s, while charging by far the lowest ticket prices in the NFL. Ralph Wilson is an evil genius who is getting rich off the booming economy of WNY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungmack Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 So this is my first post and I'm jumping in with both feet. I'm sure this topic has come up before but I wanted to make the comparison between some characters from Major League and the 2010 Buffalo Bills. See what you think and although I'm sure I'll get slaughtered for initiating a new post my first time, I wanted to share this with all of you. We'll go Major League Character = Buffalo Bills management/coach/player. Here we go: We'll start from the top down: Management: Rachel Phelps = Russ Brandon Although not actually the owner of the team, Russ is like Rachel because I'm sure he hates Buffalo for the same reasons Rachel hates Cleveland. The stadium is old, the weather's lousy, and he doesn't want to have to start feeding his lap dog real dog food. Behind Russ's smile and wave there is a former beauty queen who wants to put together a team to help him relocate to L.A. This feeds into the next character... Charlie Donovan = Buddy Nix This one is just way too accurate sans the Southern drawl. I know Buddy sports the polyester slacks w/ short-sleeve button down (aka the Detective Sipowicz) in meetings with Russ as he hold his lap dog in utter disgust. I can also see him hating every suggestion that Russ makes. All he needs is the faded forearm tattoo and the flat top and we have a dead ringer! Can't you see him asking Russ, "Hey, if I'm the GM, who is going to be the Coach?"...you can take if from there Coach Lou Brown = Chan Gailey Once again, sans the southern drawl, a dead ringer!!! A coaching 'never-was' who gets the call up for his big chance! Coincidence, they were both managers at Tire World! I'm sure he mulled over his decision while discussing White walls with some jerk. Just hope Chan isn't too old to be diving into lockers... Pepper = Curtis Modkins Who? exactly. Both just sit there and mind their business... Players: Jake Taylor = Lee Evans A tired old vet who has no where else to play, trying to get one last shot at a winner. Not exactly dead on because Lee is in the 'prime' of his career, but close enough. I was thinking he could have been Dorn but this guy fits a little better...its up for interpretation Roger Dorn = Chris Kelsay Over-priced under-producing primadonna who is a big fan of the Ole (could't make the spanish dash on the e) B.S. Chan was told we didn't have any high priced talent. Buddy forgot about Kelsay because he's only high priced... Eddie Harris = Trent Edwards The 'Ace' of the staff. Coincidentally, they both have the same throwing motion. Willie Mays Hayes = CJ Spiller This one is obvious but they would never take CJ out of camp in the middle of the night. I saw him in Fairport driving a little white VW bug on chrome rims! Solid Pedro Serano = Marshawn Lynch Both can be impact players when their head is on straight but both struggle with the English language. Wild Thing Ricky Vaughn = Levi Brown Now Levi wasn't playing in any Penal Leagues but he comes from an obscure conference and is an unknown commodity. Seems not to take any crap from anyone which is great and carries his gear in a garbage bag. How awesome would it be to see him go for the Veg-Head! I was going to do Ralph but he IS the owner from Rookie of the Year who pisses his pants after finding a decoder ring in the cracker jack box. Let me know what you think about the comparisons and again, I'm going to get killed on the length! How about this: cut to the chase. What in god's name are you trying to say?

tbonestake Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 How about this: cut to the chase. What in god's name are you trying to say? Well on the surface I was trying to make a comparison between Bills players and Major League characters but deep down I was trying to find someone who obviously does not have a sense of humor. SUCCESS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
