All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
...than listening to a Bills player (or any player for that matter) get interviewed? It's just one cliche after another and you never learn anything. Of course, therre is the rare exception, but for the most part, if a player interview comes on the radio or sportscenter, I scramble for the dial or remote every time.

Of course...anything that lordofgun posts qualifies as real snooze material.

Well you just have to take 'em one interview at a time and let the chips fall where they may. We expect great athletes to be great copy, but in the end they put their pants on one leg at a time just like we do. Maybe the Bills PR department could help the players become more proficient with interviewing by giving them a game plan they can stick to so then it's up to them to just go out there and execute it. Sometimes in an interview a player needs to just want to make a statement and then give it 110%. And the interviewer has to come through when it counts and show he wants that quality interview more than the other guy. Then you'll see, more times than not, that everything will be clicking. But if things go bad in an interview, it's the job of the interviewer to just put the loss behind him and focus in on the next one. And the players need to remember that when their backs are against the wall in an interview to stick to the basics, and remember it ain't over till it's over.

You know, when the chips were down finsrclowns really stepped up to the plate. He’s the consummate professional, just grabbing his lunch pail, getting out there and doing his job. Because he’s just that kind of guy. He’s a forum general. When he’s in the zone he elevates the posts of everyone around him. He’s the go-to guy, the heart and soul of the team. At critical points he’s the first to stand up and say “gimmie the damn pencil.” You just can’t say enough about the guy.

Thanks much, but you know I really can't take any credit myself- just trying to do my best within the team format. I saw an opening and just tried to take what was there. But tomorrow's another day and you've just got to take 'em one day at a time. :bowl:

You're not kidding.
He gives 110% when he comes to the big dance.
He's a warrior, a blue collar guy.
Speaking of formulaic speakers, how many times does Mel Kiper lead with "When you look at..."
