Live Press Conference

[RedEyE]

Nothing so far. Just like the military .... Hurry up and wait

[Mr. Miyagi]

They block all streaming media here. :ill:

[madness]

Marv's coming out!!!

[dannyek71]

The D&C link worked yesterday, but they are not streaming it today

[Voltron]

Marv and Ralph just stepped out

[Iehoshua]

There's Marv.

[Shiny Chicken]

It's starting...

[ublinkwescore]

NFL Live is usually pretty good at cutting whatever their airing for these things - this is starting to piss me off - they're still showing the gay game of the week between the Feacles and the Deadskins.

[Iehoshua]

Marv in a suit and tie.

Weird.

[Iehoshua]

Ralph forgot where he was. :jk:

[Voltron]

I think Ralph is wearing the same clothes as yesterday!

[dannyek71]

damn im missing it!

[lordofgun]

I think Ralph is wearing the same clothes as yesterday!
:rofl:

[RedEyE]

I see MARV!!! WOO HOO

[lordofgun]

Ralph's ears are REALLY long.

[madness]

he's followed football...He's been in FOOTBALL....all his life.

[Voltron]

Ralph has no idea where Marv coached :rofl:

[footballhottie]

so whats happening!!!!! DO i need another bottle of the bubblie

[RedEyE]

Wilson takes for ever and still never seems to get to the point.

[lordofgun]

Just STFU and let Marv talk, Ralph. :mad:

[footballhottie]

Holy **** hes old

[oldno711]

looks (and sounds) like ol Ralphie just rolled out of bed.

SPIT IT OUT RALPH!!!

[madness]

Marv - vice president of football operations

[RedEyE]

Levy will be VP of Football Operations. Seprate from the Business admin.

[dannyek71]

wahhhhh

[lordofgun]

haha...Ralph is hilarious.

[dannyek71]

so hes not the gm?

[Voltron]

Nothing about GM so far just said Marv is VP of football operations.

[madness]

RW "I'm very proud to bring some youth to this organization" :rofl:

[Iehoshua]

"Henceforth he shall be known as Darth.... Levy!"

[oldno711]

Ralph: "Marv will work with the Head Coach, Mike Mularky"

[RedEyE]

The Golden Boys? WTF?!

[lordofgun]

LOL. I hate it when people give themselves nicknames. :shakeno:

[footballhottie]

wait what

[RedEyE]

Marv looks good!! Still sharp as ever.

[madness]

Marv "looking forward to it with unbounded enthusiasm"

[dannyek71]

This is actually good news. Modrake is asst, Levy is VP, now lets get an a+ gm and we will have a great FO

[MikeInRoch]

No, he did not call Marv the "GM". Hmmmm.

[RedEyE]

MArv even thanked the Canadian fans! Nice touch.

[Michael82]

so hes not the gm?
Looks to me like there is no GM. :ill:

[lordofgun]

So there won't be a GM??

[Voltron]

Marv is a class act! :up:

[Michael82]

I think Ralph is wearing the same clothes as yesterday!
yeah it's the exact same thing. :roflmao:

[MikeInRoch]

Marv just said that he IS the GM.

[RedEyE]

Marv is the GM?VP of Football Operations!!!!

[Iehoshua]

:rofl:

Crazy Old Man!

GM/Director of Football Ops.

[Voltron]

Marv just said GM/VP football operations

[madness]

apologizing for not returning phone calls

[lordofgun]

HAHA! I'm so glad to see Marv doesn't have alzheimers!! Still looks and sounds sharp as a tack!

[Michael82]

Now Marv just called himself General Manager...

Hmmm... :scratch:

[RedEyE]

Fluffing the media some more.

[lordofgun]

I LOVE MARV!!!

[Michael82]

HAHA! I'm so glad to see Marv doesn't have alzheimers!! Still looks and sounds sharp as a tack!
yeah, but in a few years...watch out. :scared:

[madness]

can get better quicker because of FA and salary cap

[RedEyE]

Marv is so well spoken. He has me excited about htis team once again.

[Michael82]

I LOVE MARV!!!
Me too! It's soo great to see him at the podium again. :D

[MikeInRoch]

How long until he pulls a Pat Riley, cans MM, and takes over the head coaching job? :D

[Voltron]

It's not a return to the "good ole days" It is a new beginning

[lordofgun]

When's the last time you saw an 80-year old man read from cue cards without glasses???

Marv is the man.

[Iehoshua]

"Old enough to know limits, young enough to exceed them."

Awesome. This is cool. Age is just a number.
:up:

[Michael82]

How long until he pulls a Pat Riley, cans MM, and takes over the head coaching job? :D
I could see that happening if they start out 0-4 again. :D

[Iehoshua]

Kick ass and take names, Marv!

[RedEyE]

Will be working with Modrak.

[dannyek71]

Im confused....so is marv gm?

[L.A. Playa]

hopefully he can do something as GM that he could never do as coach and that is WIN the Super Bowl, but I have serious doubts and really see no improvement with this move

[lordofgun]

Im confused....so is marv gm?
yes

[Michael82]

Will be working with Modrak.
He'll be working with Mike Mularkey too. :up:

[footballhottie]

WHAT!!!

[sba]

This move will surely appease people that are still stuck in the early 90's, it's not going to make us better.

[The King]

Anyone notice all the glory player jerseys in the bills shop. Kelly, Reed, Thurm, Tasker..... new beginning my ass.

[RedEyE]

Yes Marv is the GM and VP of Football Operations.

[RedEyE]

He is stating that he will allow everyone in the organization to state their opinion.

[L.A. Playa]

this is just another marketing tool by the Bills to appease fans it has done nothing to improve the team and really may have just extended the Bills period of mediocrity

[dannyek71]

Marv will be better than TD

[lordofgun]

Sounds like Marv had a lot of personnel authority back when he was coaching. That's encouraging.

[Iehoshua]

HAHA! I'm so glad to see Marv doesn't have alzheimers!! Still looks and sounds sharp as a tack!
I couldn't agree more... He sounds as confident as ever.

I'm currently 100% sold on this move now!

[Michael82]

IMO, Marv is now the main decision maker on draft day, but he will have a lot of other guys in there trying to help him out.

[lordofgun]

I couldn't agree more... He sounds as confident as ever.

I'm currently 100% sold on this move now!
Me too! I'm drinking the Kool-aid!

[RedEyE]

Said that he initially disagreed about trading for Bennett, Polian convinced him....basically making a point that personell should be thoroghly evaluated by everyone.

[Gunzlingr]

Vcoach just said that he is just VP of Football Operations :idunno:

[footballhottie]

hopefully he can do something as GM that he could never do as coach and that is WIN the Super Bowl, but I have serious doubts and really see no improvement with this move Thats nice, but you don't know anything so who cares. I think this is a great move. Marv really knows what he is doing.

[Jeff1220]

At least with Marv most of us, at worst, will be disappointed. With TD, most of us hate his guts. If things come to that with Marv, this team will be worse than we ever could've imagined.

[Shiny Chicken]

I gotta say, Marv could easily be mistaken for someone in his 60's... his mind is definitely as much all there as it has ever been...

[lordofgun]

Marv is beyond reproach!

[Iehoshua]

Me too! I'm drinking the Kool-aid!
Totally!
:boozer:

Mmmmm.. Marv-Aid.

[oldno711]

What you do speaks so loudly, nobody can hear what you say.

Let's hope he backs it up...

[RedEyE]

Vcoach just said that he is just VP of Football Operations :idunno:

I thiink that the GM duties have been seperated between he and Modrak. Modrak will be GM of Administrative Business and Marv will be GM of Football Operations.

[lordofgun]

HAHA! He said admitted repeating something he said earlier, and then said "Don't you dare go into that territory."

[RedEyE]

Speaking of Mularkey now.

[Mr. Cynical]

Totally!
:boozer:

Mmmmm.. Marv-Aid.

:rofl:

[L.A. Playa]

Thats nice, but you don't know anything so who cares. I think this is a great move. Marv really knows what he is doing.

Enjoy the status Quo

[RedEyE]

He will be sitting down with Mularkey this afternoon.

[Mr. Cynical]

Speaking of Mularkey now.

I only want to hear two words - he's fired.

[Mr. Cynical]

He will be sitting down with Mularkey this afternoon.

...and handing him a pink slip if Marv wants to win.

[lordofgun]

He will be sitting down with Mularkey this afternoon.
That's the only thing that bugs me. Sounds like Marv didn't even get a say about whether Mularkey stayed or not.

[RedEyE]

Will also be meeting with Tom Modrak shortly to evaluate inner personell.

[Iehoshua]

High character players only.

The T.O. to Buffalo Campaign is officially dead.
:rofl:

[Earthquake Enyart]

This move will surely appease people that are still stuck in the early 90's, it's not going to make us better.
I tend to agree. They might as well of hired Lou Saban or Joe Collier.

[RedEyE]

Speaking of JP.

[RedEyE]

Just spoke highly of Reggie Bush.

[carybillsfan]

It seems to me that by not having a traditional GM, Mularkey is going to have much more input in the players he wants on his team

[RedEyE]

Giving fluff answer for JP. Rare rookies that just blast right out in the NFL.

[L.A. Playa]

Yea good Old Bruce, Thurman, Andre , Darryl and Jimbo where high charachter didnt they all have trouble with drugs, alcohol and the law?? Real High charachter guys there just put a team that can WIN the Super Bowl on the field not a team that gets out coached in each Super Bowl

[lordofgun]

Sounds like he wants JP to get a fair shot! :bf1:

[Iehoshua]

Comparing the starts of some great QBs. Sounds like a vote of confidence in starting Jonathan Paul to me.

:D

Marv = JPD.

[Michael82]

Here's what it looks like to me...


Owner and President of the Buffalo Bills: Ralph Wilson Jr.
Assistant General Manager/VP of Football Operations: Marv Levy
Assistant General Manager: Tom Modrak
Vice President of Non Football Operations/Marketing: Russ Brandon

[Static]

this vaguely smells like what wayne H. tried to do when he brought in marino.....granted Levy has a Ton more experience than marino....

[RedEyE]

Here's what it looks like to me...


Owner and President of the Buffalo Bills: Ralph Wilson Jr.
General Manager/Vice President of Football Operations: Marv Levy
Assistant General Manager: Tom Modrak
Vice President of Non Football Operations/Marketing: Russ Brandon

The GM position is split between Modrak and Marv. That's what Wilson meant by "restructure"

[Iehoshua]

Levy has a Ton more experience than marino....
Really now?

You really think so?

:rofl:

[L.A. Playa]

so Basically TD is gone Marv is in and the same lame HC stays, yes GM is important but if you have crap as a coach doesnt matter and whats worse is half a year of developing JP has already been wasted so bottome line 2006= no playoffs again

I dont see why the joy in this move

[Mr. Miyagi]

I love what I'm hearing so far.

[Iehoshua]

Marv won't be major guy in contract negotiations/cap issues.

[RedEyE]

Moulds.....

He will have a considerable amount of input in retaining key personell, but will not be the major guyu in contract negotiations.

[TypicalBill]

I think he's trying to tell us something

[Mr. Miyagi]

Playa your negativity is starting to piss me off. :mad:

[Crazygoo]

ralph can't hear worth a crap

[RedEyE]

Marv, Mularkey, Wilson and Modrak will all have input on drafting, contracts, hiring etc...

[Iehoshua]

Playa your negativity is starting to piss me off. :mad:
He's still bitter over USC. Pay of no mind.

Have some more Marv-Aid!
:boozer:

[RedEyE]

Looks as if Wilson has established a board of trustees, sort of speak. I like the idea. No need to have a dictatorship.

[Mr. Cynical]

Playa your negativity is starting to piss me off. :mad:

Thing is, he's right. If MM is still our HC, we aren't going anywhere. Only chance is if we get an OC that can walk on water and a DC who can move mountains.

[oldno711]

I'm a fan of 'ol Ralphie, but he sounds just like the alien from Men in Black

[Voltron]

this is just another marketing tool by the Bills to appease fans it has done nothing to improve the team and really may have just extended the Bills period of mediocrity
I SO AGREE! :mad:

[ICE74129]

Sound to me that JP is the guy for Marv :-) he explains in great detail about aikman etc not doing well as a rookie. Both Marv, Ralph etal understand that essentially JP was a rookie this year. Good to hear Smart football men understand that.

This is JP's team next year.

[ublinkwescore]

this is just another marketing tool by the Bills to appease fans it has done nothing to improve the team and really may have just extended the Bills period of mediocrity

Now I wish I could :negrep: you twice.

Did you even watch the press conference?

[RedEyE]

Wilson just said he was "excited" in a Droopy Dog sort of way.

[Michael82]

Marv won't be major guy in contract negotiations/cap issues.
That will be Jim Overdorf.

[L.A. Playa]

Why should I be bitter over a team that WON 2 championships in a row and lost a 3rd by 3 points due to a remarkable perfomance. I live in Los Angeles we are actually used to WINNING championships and dont settle for just getting to the championship game.

The move to Marv brings in someone with no proven track record as GM, keeps Modrak who barely comes to Buffalo and works out of his home, and keeps an obvius inept HC.

If that gives you hope then dont let me rain on your parade, but I see no big change here just smoke and mirrors to sell tickets next year

[RedEyE]

End of Conference.

[ICE74129]

LMAO Old ralph must have taken the Viagra the last couple days along with the prozac. Ol' boy has been on a roll! :lmao:

[ublinkwescore]

Thats nice, but you don't know anything so who cares. I think this is a great move. Marv really knows what he is doing.

Oh my god, I'm actually agreeing with FBH:coocoo:

[Ickybaluky]

Not all teams have a GM.

The Patriots don't have anyone with the title of GM. Scott Pioli is the VP of Player Personnel. Bill Belichick's only title is head coach.

The important think is that someone holds the final authority on football matters. Belichick has that in NE, but he isn't the GM.

[Voltron]

I will give marv a chance to prove he can do it but I aint drinkin' no Marv-aide :cuss:

So now you're playing the high and mighty card "We win championships" while simultaneously bashing the Bills and Bills fans? Is your real name Harvey Dent?

Must be nice to have your cake and eat it too, Mr Superior.

[ublinkwescore]

Enjoy the status Quo

Oh no, not the big words (in your mind).

[ICE74129]

I have to say I honestly feel better about the situation. TD just turned me off in every way possible as a fan. Marv gets you pumped up.

I like what Ralph had to say in regards to Free agency. They will spend and spend much as long as the cap lets them. Time to cut bait with some old farts on this team and use that cap to help get us ready NOW!

[Voltron]

Why you guys all up in Playas Grill? God forbid someone have their own opinion. :shakeno:

[Iehoshua]

Why you guys all up in Playas Grill? God forbid someone have their own opinion. :shakeno:
His opinion wasn't the issue. He bashed the Bills and fans while pretending to also be a Bills fan. Pretty hypocritical. I was just ribbing him about USC and he had that as a rebuttle. Hit a nerve I guess but he hit below the belt.

[Mr. Miyagi]

The move to Marv brings in someone with no proven track record as GM, keeps Modrak who barely comes to Buffalo and works out of his home, and keeps an obvius inept HC.
Or we can be like the Raiders who keep changing head coaches like they're Al Davis' diapers.

[The King]

Here is one reason I like this move. Passion.

Marv has the passion and desire to want to win a Championship. His job qualification is suspect. He is a leader and that is something this team lacks. Best Of Luck Marv... You're going to need it.

[ublinkwescore]

Playa your negativity is starting to piss me off. :mad:

Playa has been having a bit of an attitude as of late - I'm kind of beginning to hope that stampy gets his hands on him one of these days.

That whole cocky attitude thing is gonna result in you losing teeth one of these days Playa. And if you think gonna be easy grabbing or kicking someone's balls while they're throwing a barage of fists at you, you better think again.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Chill out Blinky.

Playa I'm just respectfully disagreeing. Not being hostile, like Blinky. :rolleyes:

[The King]

There is no need for this crap. The my dad can beat up your dad stuff belongs in the school yard.

[The King]

Chill out Blinky.

Playa I'm just respectfully disagreeing. Not being hostile, like Blinky. :rolleyes:

Well good thing because I was gonna have to tell my mom on you.

[L.A. Playa]

So now you're playing the high and mighty card "We win championships" while simultaneously bashing the Bills and Bills fans? Is your real name Harvey Dent?

Must be nice to have your cake and eat it too, Mr Superior.

Take it how you want, I thought the goal of any sport is to win a championship?? Sorry if I cant get excited about a move that does nothing in my mind to improve the team and in my mind weakens it.

You wanted to put in the bitter part about USC, I can handle a loss in sports its just entertainment anyway, but when your team continually misses the playoffs and is stuck in the mud spinning its tires there needs to be a turning point somewhere.

This to me is not a turning point for the Buffalo Bills orginazation, what is even more disapointing is the number of fans who cant handel an opposing position to their own.

[Voltron]

His opinion wasn't the issue. He bashed the Bills and fans while pretending to also be a Bills fan. Pretty hypocritical. I was just ribbing him about USC and he had that as a rebuttle. Hit a nerve I guess but he hit below the belt.
He has a good point though. 2 of those 4 Super Bowls we were favored to win and he couldn't deliver. What makes you think he can do a good job at something he has never done before?

I hope I am wrong. I hope Marv brings us to the promised land. I have just lost hope with this team. The sad part is that this really is the first time as a Bills fan I have felt this way. :sadwalk:

[ublinkwescore]

There is no need for this crap. The my dad can beat up your dad stuff belongs in the school yard.

What ever dude - it doesn't piss you off that he's pulling the whole 'my team wins championships' crap out of his @$$?

Second of all, I can whip my dad's @$$ thank you very much.

[L.A. Playa]

ohhhh an internet tough guy I am so scared of you and your boyfriend Stampy

[L.A. Playa]

no problem Miyagi, you are mature and I can handle an opposing arguement, others who havent risen to a point of maturity cant

[madness]

My avatar says you will regret not hiring him. :mad:

[The King]

What ever dude - it doesn't piss you off that he's pulling the whole 'my team wins championships' crap out of his @$$?

Second of all, I can whip my dad's @$$ thank you very much.

I dont think there is anything that could be said on a message board that would really piss me off. We are all individuals, and we all have our own opinions who gives a poo.

[ublinkwescore]

There is no need for this crap. The my dad can beat up your dad stuff belongs in the school yard.

You relied on your father did you?

Sad - if I ever did that growing up, my father would have whipped my @$$ for not handling it like a man.

[Iehoshua]

Take it how you want, I thought the goal of any sport is to win a championship?? Sorry if I cant get excited about a move that does nothing in my mind to improve the team and in my mind weakens it.

The bitter part was a joke. You took it personal. You were the one to lash back with a comment like "At least WE in LA can win championships when you BILLS fans just lose" One good point is we all know where your loyalties lie. :up: That also helps when reading your opinions.

[The King]

You relied on your father did you?

Sad - if I ever did that growing up, my father would have whipped my @$$ for not handling it like a man.

You missed the bus dude.

[ublinkwescore]

You still didn't answer my question Playa - did you even watch the conference?

[lordofgun]

EVIL MARV!!!

[ublinkwescore]

Ok Dude.

[Ickybaluky]

You relied on your father did you?
Sad - if I ever did that growing up, my father would have whipped my @$$ for not handling it like a man.

Is your dad Chuck Norris?

[ublinkwescore]

No, but if I gave some info about my dad, I'd end up recieving the Internet tough guy comment again, so I'm not going to bother. Let's move beyond this crap - Playa I hope you can understand why that comment was a pretty good cage rattler.

[Iehoshua]

He has a good point though. 2 of those 4 Super Bowls we were favored to win and he couldn't deliver. What makes you think he can do a good job at something he has never done before?

I hope I am wrong. I hope Marv brings us to the promised land. I have just lost hope with this team. The sad part is that this really is the first time as a Bills fan I have felt this way. :sadwalk:It's your choice whether you want to focus on the positive or the negative. There is good and bad in everything. If you decide to feel sad and hopeless, then you're entitled.

Enjoy!

[TypicalBill]

EVIL MARV!!!

:up:

[L.A. Playa]

Ublink I really take no threats or negative comments seriously on here, I take it as good natured ribbing, if it is more than that, then I feel sorry for the person who is making the comments.

I am confident in who I am and no comment from an outside person is gonna change that or will I fear any man in the world life is too short to, enjoy the ride keep laughing and having fun,

[Turf]

I like it, I think the move has promise. Would I have liked a more thorough house cleaning? Yes.
What has been going on at OBD apparantly is that Donahoe was what we all thought, an egotistical jerk with an iron hand. All the emphasis on Marv coming back are about building consensus and cohesiveness. And I think it's a damn healthy approach. If you treat your people with respect you will get the best out of them. I believe they can all get on the same page.
I think the real keys will be a new conditioning coach, and bringing in accomplished offensive and defensive coordinators.
And hopefull Marv can teach MM some theories about play calling.

[ublinkwescore]

Quit lollygagging and answer the question - did you even watch the press conference?

[L.A. Playa]

Why should I be bitter over a team that WON 2 championships in a row and lost a 3rd by 3 points due to a remarkable perfomance. I live in Los Angeles we are actually used to WINNING championships and dont settle for just getting to the championship game.

If that gives you hope then dont let me rain on your parade, but I see no big change here just smoke and mirrors to sell tickets next year

dont see where I said Bills fans are losers Darth, try again .

[Turf]

Also I want to add that Marv's integrity is very attractive for bringing in well known coaches and players. The Bills just became a more appealing place to be, vital in FA and coach hiring.

[TypicalBill]

I am confident in who I am and no comment from an outside person is gonna change that or will I fear any man in the world life is too short to, enjoy the ride keep laughing and having fun,


:limp: :cloud9:

[L.A. Playa]

:limp: :cloud9:

:lmao:

[ublinkwescore]

You didn't say that Playa, but this thread topic is about a press conference for the Buffalo Bills - a team that unfortunately has no championships since the AFL-NFL merger. Your comment about 'my team wins championships', was condescending even moreso because of the thread that it appears in - if this were a basketball press conference thread it would have been more easily dismissed (I personally would have paid no attention to it since I hate basketball anyways).

[FirstDownBills]

Wow, I never thought I would see the day where some fans would spew negative crap about Marv. That press conference totally fired me up for next season. Playa, you are worse than a Red Sox fan pre-2004. I hope you don't go jumping on the bandwagon once everything turns around for this team. Go root for the Patriots you jerk!

[Mr. Miyagi]

:limp: :cloud9:
I'm smart, I'm good looking, I'm fun, and gosh darn it, people like me.

[Mahdi]

Marv doesnt need to have experience as a GM, that is why the position of GM is divided into parts. All he is responsible for is the football aspect and Marv knows football. I think he will do a great job, and maybe some FA's will be encouraged to come play for a hall of famer.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Wow, I never thought I would see the day where some fans would spew negative crap about Marv. That press conference totally fired me up for next season. Playa, you are worse than a Red Sox fan pre-2004. I hope you don't go jumping on the bandwagon once everything turns around for this team. Go root for the Patriots you jerk!

wonderful.

[L.A. Playa]

Wow, I never thought I would see the day where some fans would spew negative crap about Marv. That press conference totally fired me up for next season. Playa, you are worse than a Red Sox fan pre-2004. I hope you don't go jumping on the bandwagon once everything turns around for this team. Go root for the Patriots you jerk!

Such maturity someone disagrees with you and you say go root for someone I dont like you :baby:

[FirstDownBills]

wonderful.

So is it true they are renaming one Bills drive to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:Street><st1:address>One Geriatric Drive</st1:address></st1:Street>?

No, I was just making a point that you know nothing about football since you trashed Levy. And you don't have to like me because I dissent with you. I won't lose any sleep over it.

[ublinkwescore]

you didn't see the press conference - fine - maybe if you did, you'd have a better understanding of the enthusiasm of every one else on this board. Make no mistake about it - Marv is still as sharp as a razor. Marv is highly intelligent (any one that would argue about this is quite the opposite). And Marv does have this great aura of charisma that will rub off on his subordinates - that's why I'm confident this will be a huge change for the better for this team. It's a shame that someone so quick to see the glass as half empty will be enjoying the results of this hire which he was so quick to judge.

Basketball is gay. YO B I GOT HOPS YO! :lmao:

[Iehoshua]

dont see where I said Bills fans are losers Darth, try again .
I live in Los Angeles we are actually used to WINNING championships and dont settle for just getting to the championship game. Condescending, most definitely.

This would be like me saying "My Yankees are actually used to winning championships and don't settle for just winning AL championships." It'd be a hypocritical slap in the face to fellow Bills fans since everyone knows the Bills are known for their Superbowl trips (getting to the championship). Duh. People aren't that naive. You didn't have to come out directly and say anything. It's all in your post.

[FirstDownBills]

Whats with the disappointment? I was making fun of ebonics.

[TypicalBill]

You best chill out with the personal attack. :club:

YEAH!!!! or he'll asscup you. So there.

[L.A. Playa]

never said I disliked you aor attacked you, excuse me if I dont get excited about a coach who had the greatest amount of talent in the history of the NFL but yet failed to win 1 Super Bowl becoming the GM and keeping MM just doesnt look like an improvement to me looks like a PR move

It must be fun to have a favorite team that has near endless capital in a sport with no Salary cap - Yankees and Lakers fans...

[L.A. Playa]

NBA has had a Salary cap for years try again, I agree Marv is highly intelligent he just wasnt smart enough to come up with a winning game plan in 4 straight Super Bowls

[ublinkwescore]

:shakeno:

Alright - enough with the oversensitiveness.

I was probably labeled a bigot over some things I typed about OJ, but the funny thing is the ones that labeled me a bigot over those things I said had no defense or valid reason for opposing my point of view - needless to say that thread died shortly after my appearance - I even got a rare :posrep: from phil believe it or not.

[L.A. Playa]

hey it could be a great move but excuse me if Idont excited until I see actual moves being made other than a PR moment

That's an entirely different meaning, but your first post didn't translate that thought.

During the height of NFC superiority over the AFC - you try again.

As far as basketball having a salary cap - tell me that there wasn't some kind of corruption going into a team that had as many big name players as the lakers did during their run.

If you can - I'll never be convinced it's not BS - so don't even waste your time.

If Baseball were less boring, and it still had no salary cap - I'd still have no interest in it - it's no fun when you pretty much know the Yanks are going to do (be it Division champs/ AL or NL - what ever league they're in champs) at least something.

We might as well be in Iraq as soccer fans with Uday and Qusay being Sports Ministers.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Remember at the time the AFC was the JV to the NFC. We were plainly inferior to those 3 teams. Yes, including the Redskins.

[FirstDownBills]

First of all it is, at least at the pro level. Secondly, my statement was making fun of the actual sport itself.

The height of the NFC superiority was highlighted by the Bills losing 4 straight you try again

As for the Lakers 3peat Shaq & Kobe (on his rookie contract) and a bunch of guys who are now out of the league was not a bunch of big names, they failed when they brought in Payton and Malone on Vet Min contracts and why they blew up the team to start again. Try again

[Mr. Miyagi]

Yeah, and hockey too.

[L.A. Playa]

I disagree I think the Bills had more talent than the 3 teams they faced in their Super Bowl era, I beleive they got outcoached in each game, that is just my opinion

Speaking as a baseball fan, the Yankees thing has not been true so far this century. Take a look at the World Series champion the past five years? Nobody has repeated. And the Yankees have only been in the World Series twice out of those five years. The division champion thing is still accurate but this year it was almost broken. Baseball is starting to regain parity.

One year wonders are a joke.

The new Yankee dynasty is rising like a phoenix from the ashes and will incinerate MLB for years to come!

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Not true, In my opinion the Dallas Cowboys were simply superior to Buffalo at the time. The only Super Bowl that they should of won was against the Giants, but then again as Playa stated Marv shouldn't of had been our kicker.

[ublinkwescore]

Yeah let's see here now - Mark Engram, Rodney Hampton, Lawrence Taylor (one of the greatest LBs of all time), coached by Parcells - humm we really were lightyears ahead of the Giants there talentwise.

Mark Rypien, Art Monk a great offensive line, and a top 5 defense coached by another one of the greatest coaches of all time - yeah once again we were really light years ahead of the Redskins too.

I'm sure I don't even have to start on the Cowboys - oh wait yes I do...

Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Cokehead Irvin, one of the greatest offensive lines ever assembled (it's been said that if Barry Sanders ran behind that line he'd approach damn near 3,000 yards in a single season), and a top 3 defense both times, an OC named Norv Turner that happens to be getting his name thrown around a lot on here to be our new OC - yeah, we had way way more talent than this team - you're absolutely right LA Playa - I'll never argue with you again - you're always right.

Once again, I'll throw the NFC Superiority thing in your face (if it makes you feel any better, it wasn't just us - the Broncos, Bengals, Dolphins all got their @$$es kicked during this era too if it makes you feel any better.

[jmb1099]

I could be wrong, but I think we are witnessing the begining of the house cleaning...it aint over yet. The rest of the decisions will be made by Marv, the man knows football and thats why he is here. He assembled a great coaching staff before and he can do it once again.
As far as the debate about us being outcoached in our SB's...only in one game were we outcoached and that was the giants game. Giants ball control offense kept the ball out of kelly's hands. It was a good gameplan by parcells. The other three games we were just plain outmatched.

Goose-balerina is no ace nor is he relied on as an ace. He'll be gone after this coming season or sooner. We have a surplus of starters, with future ace Phillip Hughes waiting in the wings... There's also Josh "Undertaker" Schmidt coming up who will lay batters to rest. Be afraid.

Damon is only one piece to the puzzle, but the pieces are ready to come together. Beware. You can call this the New World Order of Yankee baseball.

/smack

Seriously, who knows how Damon will do? I won't count on Moose for anything, I think he's done. The rest of the 'surplus' is plenty suspect but the bullpen looks solid, Toronto is up and coming but has to prove it, and Boston has more holes than swiss cheese presently so that makes the Yanks the favorites in the AL East, for now anyway.

Boston as of now has a better starting staff and possibly a better bullpen than the Yankees. I say possibly because the Yankees still do have MO. But Mike Myers? What was Cashman smoking? :lmao:

Lefties batted .158 against Myers last year and his overall ERA was 3.13. He is what he is; a solid lefty specialist but terrible against righties. It was a solid pickup.

Boston's starters:
Beckett - Solid yet recently injury prone and also an NL pitcher
Schilling - who knows if he'll recover
Wells - still wants to be traded
Clement - Boston's 05 version of the Yankees' 04 Javier Vazquez
Wakefield - steady but is going to get rocked when the knuckleball ain't fluttering
Arroyo - borderline 5th starter/bullpen guy

Yankees starters:
Johnson - Didn't live up to the hype but few 1st year Yankee FA pitchers do, can he defy his age?
Moose - already covered
Chacon - pitched phenominally in both season w/Yanks and in playoffs. Still a question mark if he can keep it up a full season.
Wang - looked solid but can he stay healthy and contribute?
Pavano - will he regain form?
Wright - long relief/emergency starter
Small - long relief/emergencey starter

Neither rotation looks superior to the other and both have its share of question marks, from an unbiased point of view.

NO! What was Marv's fault was calling 3 running plays in a row in the waining min. of the game. Norwood should never have been put into that situation in the first place and Marv has acknowledged that! You are such a :homer:
