That Aud Smell Posted January 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Yes indeed -- and I think it's worth noting again that TT led, going into the Jets game (in which he didn't play), the #7 scoring offense and #6 TD-scoring offense in the NFL -- and did so without Watkins and during a season in which (i) the OC got fired and (ii) there was a full-blown Bills clown show/power struggle/soap opera roaring along. Give TT a good, big WR opposite Watkins who presents a big target and a home run threat, and a healthy Watkins, and some continuity and stability behind the scenes, and a respectable D, and a professional coach, and the streak will be over. Amen! My youngest kid did a fantasy team this year (fun for him - exhausting for me), and, as a result, became familiar with players from all over the league. He remarked to me over the weekend that the Bills need to keep Tyrod, and draft someone like Michael Thomas ("he was a ROOKIE this year!" the kid exclaimed). I can't argue with that reasoning.

That Aud Smell Posted January 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Polian on air, discussing why owners may be great at making money and being successful, but bad at being owners Wishing I could generate a photo-shopped screen cap of a hologram Kim Pegula imploring William Polian (almost SOUNDS like Obi Wan (sp?), yeah?) for help, as our only hope. I'm not sure what Mrs. Pegula would be passing along (via something standing in for a droid) a la the plans for the death star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 So basically.... they read Bucky? This conclusion can't be reached independently? --- In the "It could be worse department" my Browns fan friend emailed me this. He wrote it. It used to be normal for head coach to report to GM and not to owner. But some owners have screwed around with management structure and reporting lines, with varying degrees of success (see Belischlizer the HC having a GM in NE but that GM being neutered and Belischlizer having all the power and reporting directly to the owner). So in the last 15 years or so, other owners have begun experimenting with new structures. “Varying degrees of success” would imply there is another end of the spectrum, opposite from Belischlizer/NE’s ridiculous/ridonkulous/Gronkulous success. I submit, as Exhibit A, the Cleveland Clowns as the embodiment of the other end of the spectrum: Browns former owners Ralph Lerner (1999-2002) and his son Randy Lerner (2002-2012) tried: · President (Carmen Policy) having power over GM (Dwight Clark) and HC (Chris Palmer), who were equal to each other in power and each adhered to Policy. · HC (Butch Davis) reporting directly to owner and having power over GM (Pete Garcia). · GM (Phil Savage) reporting directly to owner and having power over HC (Romeo Crennel). · HC (Crennel) reporting directly to owner and having a neutered GM (George Kokinis) who reported to HC. · GM/HC being the same dude (Eric Mangini) after firing GM Kokinis for having fallen asleep at his desk. · President (Mike Holmgren) who reported to owner and had power over GM (can’t even remember who they were) and HC (Pat Shurmur after Holmgren fired Mangini for being too defensive minded). · Selling the whole mothering franchise to Jimmy Haslam, and letting him try to figure this out. (That’s what Randy did in 2012, after his dad Ralph just gave up and died in 2002 because the was going so badly.) Browns current owner Jimmy Haslam, who bought the team from the Lerner Family Trust in October 2012, has tried: · Replacing Holmgren with Joe Banner as CEO and Alec Sheiner as President (supposedly for business matters only and no football stuff), but forcing Banner to accept Belischlizer acolyte Mike Lombardi as GM, and oh by the way hiring Rob Chudzinski as HC without giving Banner or Lombardi much input into that hiring decision. · Firing Chud as HC after one season (2013), then forcing Banner to fire Lombardi as GM, hire Mike Pettine as HC, and elevate assistant GM Ray Farmer (whom Haslam hired without Banner’s input) to GM, then firing Banner a month later and forcing Pettine and Farmer, who hardly knew each other and neither of whom had had any input into the hiring of the other or any knowledge of the team-building philosophy of the other, into a shotgun marriage in which they each reported separately to the owner but with Farmer having “ultimate say” over the roster, but then forcing Famer to draft Johnny Manziel after an analytics study that Banner had commissioned had red-flagged Manziel as a disaster and highlighted Teddy Bridgewater as the best QB in the 2014 draft, and with Pettine supposedly wanting to draft Jimmy Garropolo rather than either Bridgewater or Manziel; then allowing Sheiner to watch game film with Farmer and Pettine and force some input into personnel decisions that way; then seeing Farmer get fined and suspended for texting personnel suggestions to the coaching staff during games. · Firing Farmer and Pettine, and letting Sheiner walk, after two seasons (2014 and 2015), and elevating salary cap lawyer Sashi Brown to Executive VP for Football Operations, giving him ultimate say over the roster; then insisting that Brown hire baseball moneyball (analytics) guru Paul DePodesta as Chief Strategy Officer and 28-year-old personnel peasant Andrew Berry as VP for Player Personnel; then having a committee composed of Haslam, his wife Dee, Brown, and DePodesta conduct a search for HC, which concluded with the hiring of Hue Jackson. Brown and Jackson each report directly to Haslam/Haslam, but Brown has ultimate say over the roster. Supposedly, Brown was elevated for his ability to get people to work together, and DePodesta was hired mainly to force better/smarter/more analytics-driven decision-making processes. The team of Haslam, Haslam, Brown, Jackson, DePodesta, and Berry is “the management” of the current Browns. They’re 1-15 to date. Top that, Ralph Wilson/Terry Pegula!

Abandoned at age 5 in Korea by her parents and shipped off to a foreign country for adoption has made far worse adults. She isn't exactly Anna Nicole Smith. She's well spoken and thoughtful. I just don't arrive at bimbo when thinking of what I know about her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I'm not sure. When Rick's pillow was pilfered, he claimed, on air, that either "bimbo or bozo" had done the dirty deed. This was at a time, I am told that people are telling me, that Terry still had Sabres season tickets. Might Kim have joined him on this particular fateful evening? What's that, Jim? The game was in Ottawa? Never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can discuss the comparison of the two when 6 million bimbos are killed. And what kind of behaviour and words were tolerated on the slippery slope that led to those 6 million deaths? Brushed up on your Niemoller lately? https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10007391 OK -- time to take it down a notch. Marvelo -- for your part, if you're going to throw around an offensive term, you should introduce some facts to back it up. I don't think there is any way you interpret "bimbo" other than a derogatory term used to put an woman in her place when she attempts to act "above her station," as defined by a superior male. It's an utterly bigoted, chauvinist phrase that serves no other purpose than devalue a woman and her contribution. I shouldn't have to speak up about the atrocities committed against women over the years because of culturally accepted misogyny. Justifying its use by referencing the Holocaust? Really?

That was the Comeback of the Century. Now, the Bills are just hoping that Whaley can "comeback" from his self-inflicted public relations disaster during the presser, and nearly complete loss of credibility as an actual real GM. Many questions and criticisms abound in the national media about the "style" and ownership acumen of the Pegulas - but there's no question that Doug Whaley's worst enemy is Doug Whaley. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Bills game blacked out in Buffalo? If so, glad I wasn't living there when it down. The Comeback was epic. Can actually say I saw it.

Made the score 35-3. Laughed a lot when he said that during the highlights. Maybe. That was back when Rich Stadium capacity was a LOT higher 80k+ as I recall - even a "Marketing Genius" like Brandon would have trouble selling that place out. lol Too many games were blacked out as result. At the time, I received Syracuse TV, not Rochester or Buffalo, so I could watch or tape any game I wanted.
