nodnarb Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 and even i'm cracking up. Someone needs to tell ralph to step away. that last press conference was the clincher. He has two marbles left. He doesn't know what day it is. And he wants to take a more active role? Please, Marv. Advise him to play his octogenarian tennis and forget about making any more appearances. We're trying to attract free agents, for god's sake. That "joke" he told is being repeated and repeated...followed by "is this a monday?" and they're juxtaposing what's going on in Buffalo with what's going on in Miami. It's both funny and depressing.

Rubes Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 It was truly embarrassing. And funny, in a macabre sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 That's Cowherd. He HATES anything old. But he does have a point. The Marv hire was probably the least effective hire in Bills history, at least on its face. It may turn out to be brilliant. But the point Cowherd's always making is that football is a young man's game, which it is. The only reason I ahrdly listen to the guy is that he's a Pete Carroll ballwasher. No matter how many Colelge championships that ignorant bastard wins, I'll ALWAYS think of huim as the NFL's Fredo. EDIT: Now that I think of it, he's also a Nick Saban ballwasher, and he thinks any town that's cold weather is for sh--. He's Jim Rome lite.

Mile High Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Now he's talking about Paris Hilton pissing in a cab. Thanks for the insight Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Maybe we all didn't get the real joke Ralph was telling. Maybe the joke was him acting like he doesn't know whats going on to take a shot at the people who keep saying he is too old and senile. Now that would humerous Or maybe 87 years is starting to catch up to him, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 A lot of respect thay are showing one of the classiest owners in the leauge. ESPN is a joke now anyway, so I take it with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesir Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I believe SOMEONE needs to tell Ralph not to talk at the press conferences anymore. I feel so embarrased for a man for which I have so much respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Not that I'm going to sound any better at the age of 87(assuming I make it that long ) BUT... after listening to his recent press conferences, I'd feel much better if RW had come out and said that except for attending the games, he is going to have very little to do with the football operations side of the business.

Nervous Guy Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Colin Cowherd is the biggest blowhard I've ever heard...if he thinks something is funny he repeats it and repeats it and repeats it...CC<RJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets any kind of thought in his head, original or not, he repeats it. Over and over and over, ad nauseum. It's the only way he can fill the ten minutes of air time out of every twenty before the next SportsCenter update. He really made a great point when someone e-mailed him a while back complaining that Lenny P and Gazoo were ripping on the Bills' hiring of Levy because they're just Donohoe cronies. He said he was going on air to "defend" his ESPN mates. His only defense, however, was cracking jokes about how old Levy and Wilson are. I now prefer riding to work in silence in my car than listening to this jackass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 could somone be nice and tell me what ralph did? i did not get to watch the pc, and so right now my best guess is that he made some joke about paris hilton being a whore or something.

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 He wasn't sure what day of the week it was when the press conference was starting. 581930[/snapback] He told some joke (which no one got) about being in Brussels on Tuesday. Then he asked is it Monday? (don't reference movies where none of the people are alive anymore). Add to that he's 87 years old, and sounds it. ESPN overlaid his comments with Burgess Meredith's from Grumpy Old Men. It was really funny, whether this ESPN guy has talent or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
