Sorry that I noticed this...but in just watching a few minutes of the Cowboy game (off and on)...I've noticed multiply Cowboy players sporting plumbers cracks. The league should have a fine for that.

The big game is tonight. If Brady and the boys take care of business, GB suddenly finds themselves in the driver's seat for a 1st round bye... And yes MFers, we want the bye.
Lions going for double digit losses today, that will be 10 double digit loss seasons in 12 seasons. I won't lie, I enjoy seeing them suffer.
Matthew Stafford = Scott Mitchell (I know I've said it many times, but I just love saying it so much)
Bills are a real dumpster fire. What were they thinking when they hired Chan Gailey? They're not going to get a new stadium playing like this. And at any rate, Ralph Wilson's kids probably stand to make a lot more money by having the team pinch pennies now and selling the team to some wealthy Canadians who'd move the team to Toronto once he croaks. I wouldn't be shocked if this was the thought process with that team right now.
Wilson's 94 and doesn't even live in Buffalo (opting for Detroit of all places). He hasn't been seen in public since some sort of HOF ceremony over a year and a half ago. A theory I've heard (and makes a lot of sense) is that he has grown into worse health and probably doesn't know what goes on around him. The family is just holding out until he passes and then decide what to do with the team then. That's why there's no urgency to build a new stadium or a sign a lease on the current one.
Gailey was hired because frankly no one else wanted the job. Well no one they wanted to interview anyway. Harbaugh, Cowher (I think because of his wife) and some other big-names ran away when they announced a coach search. The GM is 70 years old and his only other football job before this was as a scout and has made cryptic statements about going out and getting a franchise QB next year but not commenting about Gailey's future. There's no guarantee anyone will be back next year except Russ Brandon, who is universally despised by Bills fans.
As for Canada: One of the guys who financed those games is now dead. They get poor attendance and a lot of Bills fans don't make the effort to attend. Ralph Wilson Stadium itself isn't in Buffalo at all. Orchard Park is a wealthy suburb but really out in the middle of the sticks and is a good drive from the City and the Northern suburbs. So basically there's no good reason to go to a Bills game these days.

There's a lot of money up in Toronto. I'm sure they can find some group of investors that will give them a big pile of money for the team. I'd think a new stadium is more likely to be built in a bustling metropolis like Toronto than it is in the heart of the rust belt. I'd hate to see them move, but it seems like a likely scenario right now. Also, I remember reading that something like 20% of the fans at Ralph Wilson Stadium were Canadians. That probably has dropped a bit as the suck has continued, but it's certainly an interesting fact.quote:Originally posted by Rusty:

Up 30, Pete Carroll runs a fake punt for a first down and then has Wilson line up in the shotgun from about the 15. I'd hate it except for Wilson's my QB in FFL today. He pulled Lynch but the rest of the starters are still in and TOUCHDOWN SEAHAWKS (though being reviewed).
Incomplete, Seahawks kick the 3. Damn.

Pete Carroll calling for fake punt and still throwing the ball up 47-17 in the 4th.
Classy Pete. Classy.
Hope Wilson tears an ACL

“We had no sporting clays today or no amusement parks or water parks. Work day of minicamp,” Schwartz said following the Lions’ final practice of minicamp last month. “We take a lot of pride in the fact that we play for a blue-collar town and we try to reflect that kind of work ethic, and we have very few opportunities to practice this off-season. . . . Every one was crucial and couldn’t afford to waste any.” - Jim Schwartz
