Hope people realised that I am by any no mean a fan of Stephen A. Smith nor Skip Bayless.....but hey, it's fun to watch that guy explode or latter fanboying over Cowboys :p

No surprise there. I hope they pick a coach who can develop a Quarterback....Rex Ryan had defence (or at least used to) and never ran out of good running game, but man that guy couldn't do anything with a QB.

I mean....Marvin Lewis at least did enough to have and/or develop good QBs. Not the best ones but still, better than the Buttfumble :p

Depends on the topic.

Skip vs Stephen A. was usually entertaining, even if not good.

Super Bowl XX, when 335lbs. Bears defensive tackle William "The Refrigerator" Perry ran over Patriots linebacker Larry McGrew for a 1 yd. touchdown. Apparently, he'd done it twice during the regular season, too.

Dontari Poe also has ran for touchdowns before hence the sell worked better. Poe is like 355

If I'm not mistaken, Perry was both the first Clemson player to play in a Super Bowl as well as the first Clemson player to score in one as well.

Apparently, as a pure business decision, the Bills are benching Tyrod Taylor for EJ Manuel. Taylor is one of the few good things Buffalo has going for them, but apparently if he was to sustain a serious injury this week, he would get a ton of guaranteed money from the team.

He's 7th all-time in catches so he's a sure fire HOFer in 2022. Sure wish he had one more year left in him. Maybe he'll get that familiar itch by late spring, but who knows?
