ESPN's "On the Clock"

[Kitao]

They have this segment on SportsCenter and they completely railed on the Bills. Is it always that terrible? And am I being ignorant in believing the Bills will win 7 games? Wow. Go Losman.


Oh, also Ken Griffey Jr. is probably the saddest story in baseball.

Its a really good segment, i enjoy watching it.

However in my belief, they were dead on with what they said about the Bills. There are too many question marks on this team, after they spent the last few years building this into a talented young team. Depending on how this draft goes, and what they find as "diamonds in the rough" the bills may not win 5 games next year.

They play in one of the tougher divisions in football, and they lost the majority of their impact players. I think the biggest area that they lost was on the defensive side of the ball, Spikes, Fletcher and Clement. You lose your middle linebacker (fletcher) who is the leader of the defense, you lose Spikes who is an all pro, play making linebacker, and you lose a shutdown corner in Clement. That is going to affect their run stoppage, and their pass defense dramatically.

Losman is better, their offensive line is better, however the question mark at running back is going to kill them, along with needing a wide receiver.

Bright side is, this is a very deep draft for alot of positions. I think they need to replace either the middle linebacker spot vacated by fletcher, or the outside linebacker vacated by Spikes in the first round.

You deffinatly need a running back in round 2, a corner in round 3. Even if you hit on those areas', that may not help them enough to win 7. If i had to make a guess here, i say they win 1 divisional game this year, probably agains Miami at home.

PS...why is Griffey the Saddest story in baseball?

[Reynaldo]

Probably because if he wouldn't have been hurt the past 5 years he'd be at Aaron's HR record as well and we'd have a "good guy" to pull for instead of Bonds.

Or something like that.

[Xaiveir]

Ahhh gotcha. Thought you were going to tell me he got hurt again, and is out for most of the season again.


I always thought (growing up going to Griffey's games in Seattle) that one day i would be on hand to watch him break Aaron's record. It is too bad that we are deprived of one of hte best pure hitters in the games history due to lots of freak injuries.

[Eldred]

Yeah it's unforcunate for Griffy that's he's had a lot of injury ridden seasons. He's a stand up guy unlike that fuck bag Bonds.
