  1. Honestly, he's always been very humble from the day he was drafted.  He has enough money to likely walk away.  He might not want to deal with pain for the rest of his life.  It is a very honorable trait that few have.  Good for him to go out on his terms.

    Yeah its very rare..and almost unheard of for those who don't have serious pain(I think willis has serious pain). But he is still in the rare category.

    Who left in their prime and uninjured??/ Jim Brown.....and there is a pro-bowl TE for SF in the SB yrs who did but I cant remember his name...

  2. How many third liners put up 40+ points?

     

    If it were normal for third line forwards to put up 40 points, we would expect teams to have 7-9 40+ point players. 7*30 = 210.

     

    Last year 132 players put up 40+ points. For an average of 4.4 players per team. Thus 40+ points makes you a solid second line player

    makes you an average 2nd line player...I would like to see the stats for teams that made the playoffs

  3. Shades of Thurman who, also at age 34, was let go by Butler. Man, it hurt to see him in that teal uni and Flipper helmet, too. But there comes a time when you have to move on and this is that time for Freddy. I wish him all the best and look forward to his Wall of Fame ceremony. Truly one of Buffalo sports' all time greats. The embodiment of class on and off the field.

     

    GO BILLS!!!

    Why is it time to move on??.... Fred has much more in the tank than Thurman did at 34. . AND he had a very good year with a horribly coached,mediocrely QB'd joke of an offense. 66 catches plus a good ypc given our putrid o line and putrid coaching and p&*^&*ssy QBing.

    Perfect # 2 back at this stage.

  4. Freddie makes a perfect no. 2 back at this stage of his career. He is still a very effective RB with natural skills to pick up first downs. Marcus allen played very effectively thru age 36 as he changed from a breakway guy to a short yardage specialist.

     

    If the Bills release Freddie they are not only scum but stupid scum.--Not to cast any aspersions.

  5. Probably. Seems easier to just get a few too many men penalties or hooking calls. Perhaps you try a little less hard to chase down that breakaway etc.

     

    That said, players don't tank. They might try less hard (why wouldn't you? why kill yourself for nothing), but they won't try and lose

    what if some young player in there for the sabres tries to be a hero and takes a slapshot with a few seconds left to tie the game and ruin the tank??(in the heat of action some pro sports players----GB TE-----do some awfully dumb things)

    or even what if there are a few minutes left and the sabes are leading....strict 'don't shoot' orders from ted??

    lets hope it doesn't come down to this....-could get weird.

  6. Last game of the season. Sabres need a win to clinch McEichel. ...And they are either 1) playing against a team that needs the win or tie.OR--2) they are tied with the some other team in the 3rd.Time running out.

     

    Would /could the league take action against the sabres if they accidentally put one in their own net?

  7. oh he'll only be 27 this season...I though he was older. this trade was about even. I was concerned that kiko was looking a bit small in 2013 even though he was a playmaker 1st half.

    Freddie is too old to carry the load and those other guys we got are journeymen. maybe we should keep cj though. His market value just went down.

  8. I am doing serious academic survey to benefit humankind.  Please answer questions, if you will.

     

    (please quote following questions)

     

    When did you, if ever, make definite choice to cheer for losing?  

     

    Did you make definite choice to cheer for loss?

     

    Why did you decide to cheer for losing, rather than just be indifferent for time being?

     

    Did you ever become an active participant in hoping for losses?

     

    What prompted you to become an active participant in hoping for losses?

     

    How did hoping for loss effect your life?

     

    Would you do it again?
