    So, I had this long chat with Lou Saban last night

    This all started after McD's press conference naming Tyrod Taylor as the starter for week #3, I couldn't believe it so I sat in my chair and was oblivious to the world, just sat there staring out the window as depression set in. Maybe I fell asleep, not sure. The phone rings and its my old friend Lou Saban. "How you doing Wally" he said. I told him that the Bills are starting that NFL wanda be Tyrod Taylor and I was sick over this. Lou kinda giggled then said don't worry Wally Ralph Wilson will fire his ass at the end of the season, I told him but Ralph Wilson is dead. He is??? Lou replied. Yep, he doesn't own the team anymore, Terry and Kim Pagula own the team now and they have done great things for Buffalo, bought the Sabres too I said. Good, Ralph was an ******* anyway Lou said.
    I then proceeded to tell him about this years team, There is no QB, depth sucks, team is filled with scrubs and the team isn't going anywhere. Lou just giggled again then said ARE YOU SURE RALPH WILSON IS DEAD??? Yes,yes he is dead I replied! We then got into one of these kindergarten arguments, No he isn't dead, yes he is, no he isn't, YES HE IS!!! Then I thought to myself what a ***** this guy is....I really got pissed then told him THIS IS WHY YOU ARE NOT ON THE WALL OF FAME, DON"T CALL ME ANYMORE you jerk!!
    Lou Saban is now yelling in the phone- This is why I never let you cut my hair Wally, you are to stupid to realize that Ralph Wilson still runs this team, he is not dead you stupid ****. You know nothing about football, I hope you choke on your breakfast you dumb **** then slams down the phone!!
    All I remember now is sitting in the chair and my wife is shaking my arm....Honey, wake up....Honey wake up. She then says "Who was that on the phone honey?" It was Lou Saban I said. But honey, Lou Saban is dead, I told her " No he isn't" then she said Yes he is, No he isn't, yes he is, no he isn't over and over and over geeeez

    ****, I am going out for a beer
    I

    He's definitely not alive. On a side note, he for some reason coached at SUNY Canton in my hometown which is insane if you think about it - Pro coaching experience, high D1 college coaching experience, and then he coaches a barely-DIII, two-year school for six seasons???

    I agree. But I'm just thinking that maybe he's, ya know, dead. Like, from a previous dimension.

    What's interesting is he said it when he was coaching the Denver Broncos, yet everyone thinks he said it when he was coaching the Bills.

    Lou Saban makes his point as the Broncos settle for a 20-20 tie with Houston on Nov. 16, 1969.

    “They’re killing me, Whitey; they’re killing me!” Lou Saban’s immortal quote came on this date, when he wore a wireless microphone from AFL Films during the Broncos’ game with Houston.

    One reason why Saban wore out his welcome in so many career stops was his volcanic emotions. On the sideline, Saban ran on a jagged edge between love for his players and verbal destruction.

    The game wasn’t memorable—except for the fact that the Broncos blew a 20-3 lead and settled for a 20-20 tie that dropped them to 4-5-1. But Saban’s exclamations live on, including two in particular:

    “My daughter could do better!”

    … and, of course …

    “They’re killing me, Whitey; they’re killing me!”

    “Whitey” was assistant coach Whitey Dovell, a football lifer that Saban had brought with him from Maryland. A decade later, after leaving the Broncos, he would return to the team’s staff. Two decades later, he would be one of the central figures in the revival of the arch-rival Kansas City Chiefs as their director of player personnel, for whom he was still working when he died of cancer, aged 65, in 1992. But despite Dovell’s lengthy resume, he went into history as the answer to a football trivia question: “Just who was ‘Whitey’?”
