    Another Bandwagoner...

    This was what ESPN ( Joe Theisman) said on the Bills in his Cup of Joe

    "Which team impressed you the most in Week 1?


    The Buffalo Bills were my "Wow" team this week. Defensively, the addition of James Posey, Takeo Spikes and now Lawyer Milloy makes this one of the better defenses in the league. What it did against the New England Patriots was outstanding. Last season, this team had an excellent defense that was stifled by its weak defense.

    This season it looks like they've found an excellent balance and their defense will win some games for them. They absolutely dominated a very good offense, and forced Tom Brady to throw four interceptions.

    On the offensive side, the question was: how would Drew Bledsoe handle coach Belichick's defense. But thanks to Bills' offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride's excellent game plan, it's a question that won't be asked again. The Bills compiled over 300 yards in total offense and finally got a "Bledsoe Bowl" victory."
    WHAT IT TAKES TO BE NO. 1


    Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

    There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

    Every time a football player goes to play his trade he's got to play from the ground up-from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

    Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization-an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win-to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.

    It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there-to compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules-but to win.

    And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.

    I don't say these things because I believe in the "brute" nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

          Theismann is a piece of crap. Whatever he says, I always take the opposite. He picked the Pats to win anyway if i remember correctly... idiot.
