BillsfaninChicago Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 After watching the Bernie Mac Film Mr. 3000 I want the Bills to sign Eric Moulds to a one week contract so that he can get 5 yards and get the 10000 mark. It will make amends for the one game suspension he got in 2005 for rightfully complaining about the staff and front office! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodbuster Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 As much as anybody involved with this franchise (understandably) doesn't want to admit it, OJ is the greatest Buffalo Bill ever. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Everything else being equal, if Marino and Kelly had switched uniforms the Bills would have been 4-0 in super bowls. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I thought Trent Edwards would still be this team’s quarterback instead of being on our 6th(?) since... Stanford Quarterbacks, they just don’t make them like they used to... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Well first of all their initial investment wasn't that large...the league started off paying its players peanuts and its popularity grew from the players who had to have jobs in the offseason to make ends meet. As the owners made more and more money, they worked hard to keep salaries low by refusing free agency until 1990...they have made a fortune and then some. They still don't have fully guaranteed contracts like almost all other sports do and can get out of bad deals much easier. Team values have skyrocketed from 25K to 2.5 Billion. That is a 100,000 time ROI(Return on Investment). Pretty sure a lot of stockbrokers would sell one of their testicles for that type of return. Lets get real...the players caused most of the ROI the owners have reaped. So basically they made a bunch of money off other peoples backs without having to put up much money to buy a team and paid their players peanuts for a long long time. Count me as one who believes the players should ask for and take as much as they can. The owners have ripped the players off for many decades, its about time the tables turn.

whatdrought Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 - At it’s base, football is descended from the gladiatorial games of Ancient Rome and it’s indicitive of our society that it has surpassed more civilized sports like golf and baseball to win the hearts of the common citizenry. - People who say football is dumb (typically women, in my expirience) are simply insecure in their inability to understand the minutiae of the game. - Never trust a man who doesn’t like football. - Never trust a man who doesn’t have a proper understanding of some self defense implement (from martial arts, to guns, to knives, whatever) - Men with long hair are fundamentally worthless- some exceptions apply. - Higher education in the world today is largely useless and an obscene waste of money. - A large majority of the social Ills facing our country are a result of government based school systems. - Bill Bellichick is kind of likable- *vomits* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJ is an obviously sensitive subject, but he is clearly the greatest Bill of all time, if we are simply discussing football and nothing else. I might suggest Bruce Smith is second. Not sure. 11 minutes ago, Steve O said: Everything else being equal, if Marino and Kelly had switched uniforms the Bills would have been 4-0 in super bowls. An interesting proposition but I don't think I agree with it. If the issue is simply "was Marino better than Kelly" the answer is an obvious "yes." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s called the free market. No they will pay what they collectively bargain. Where have you been the last 30 years, hiding under a rock? And the players will not play and hold out if they are not getting a fair deal. Otherwise there still wouldnt be any free agency. The players have gotten more and more in every collective bargaining session and they will continue to get more in each future session. Ultimately the league and owners know nobody is going to pay to watch scrubs. Edited August 27, 2019 by matter2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the players will not pay and hold out if they are not getting a fair deal. Otherwise there still wouldnt be any free agency. The players have gotten more and more in every collective bargaining session. Right. And that’s exactly how it should work. It’s a symbiotic relationship. Players want to make obscene amounts of money playing football, but they need teams to play on. Owners want to make obscene amounts of money by selling a product, but they need players to create the product. So it’s about who compromises where.

Well, I disagree, obviously. I think the idea of higher education is sound- education of a high nature. I think the manifestation of it in America today is abhorrent. 1 minute ago, Virgil said: You’re dead to me I’m honored that you even knew who I was.
