they had a good plan for manuel. in his first season he was supposed be a back up with kolb as the starter. but then kolb got injured in preseason and never started a game leaving the bills with a rookie QB, jeff tuel, and thad lewis.

a plan that hinges on kevin kolb staying healthy is by definition not a good plan

at least mccown has 6 weeks of good play on his resume. that's more than every other qb in free agency combined!
6 weeks in 12 seasons. I really don't understand why so many teams allegedly want to kick the tires on him. He's 35 and other than the outlier third of a season with Chicago the rest of his career is a rather consistent sub 60% completion rating at 6-sh yards per completion throwing a handful of interceptions for every handful of touchdowns. He's not leading an on-the-bubble team like Buffalo to the playoffs.
I thought it was funny that the last time kolb played was against the bills, where he got injured and was out for the season. I remember watching the game.
I guess my only thoughts on the whole Bills situation is, well, who else are they gonna get? Why not just not worry about it right now, worry about the changeover issues that always happen when you have this kind of staff turnover, take an evaluation year, and then grab the best guy you can pick up next year. I mean, is there a free agent QB that's that good that the Bills or any given team absolutely should try to grab him right now no questions asked?

I think the bills are only going to have about 2 more seasons before they have to give up someone on the defense to free agency.

Literally any other direction they take helps the future more than Josh McCown can because Josh McCown has no future. If this is a throwaway year for the Bills (though I doubt their front office sees that it is this soon) then having Manuel compete with a late-round rookie or one of the other younger free agents like Locker makes more sense to me.
In addition, we would like to take a moment to describe the situation now facing the Chargers franchise.
The Los Angeles and Orange County market has been without an NFL team for 20 years.
Over those two decades the Chargers have worked diligently to win fans and business partners in the LA/Orange County market.
And the Chargers have succeeded. Now, fully 25 percent of the Chargers’ season ticket base comes from the LA/Orange County market (along with the Inland Empire).
If another team – or two other teams – enters the LA/Orange County markets, most of that Chargers’ business there will disappear.
This will put the Chargers at a significant competitive economic disadvantage.
Simply put, it would not be fair to the Chargers – a team that has worked for 14 years to find a stadium solution in San Diego County – to allow other teams that themselves abandoned the LA market to now return and gut the Chargers’ local revenue stream.
The Chargers are continuing to work hard to find a solution in San Diego.
But we also want to be clear with this Task Force right at the outset: We are keeping a close eye on developments in LA. We do not have a choice but to also monitor and evaluate our options there. Simply put, it would be irresponsible for the Chargers not to be taking every possible step to protect the future of the franchise.

More details on the Warren Sapp case
"Investigators say Sapp was in the hotel bar when he struck up a conversation with the women, who claimed to be dancers at a popular Las Vegas strip club, and invited them up to his room.
The women told police they were dancing for Sapp inside his hotel room and he threw $100 bills at them.
But investigators say Sapp reported giving each woman $300 in exchange for a sex act. The 23-year-old complied by giving him oral sex, which Sapp recorded on his cellphone and later showed police, while the 34-year-old hid in the bathroom and didn’t emerge until she heard the pair arguing, according to the report.
Sapp told police that the 23-year-old asked for additional money for intercourse and began yelling when he refused to pay her more.
“He told her several times that she needed to leave but she was irate,” the report said. “At one point, she used Warren’s phone to call security to his room.”
The woman said she was collecting her belongings when Sapp grabbed her by the arms and threw her into the hallway, the force of which knocked both women down, according to the report."

The Trent Richardson situation in Indy is getting ugly. On one hand the Colts are claiming he got fat, neglected conditioning, and no-showed a walkthrough before the AFC Championship game. On the other, Richardson claims the reason he missed the walkthrough is he had to rush his girlfriend to the hospital because she showed signs of premature labor.
Indianapolis is clearly trying to void his contract and we can probably expect a grievance filing and/or arbitration.
Witnesses say Richardson rear ended 4 cars on the interstate while driving to the hospital. State troopers are investigating. They say multiple witnesses testified that in all instances there were open lanes on both sides but Richardson "just barreled right into them".

I told all my fellow Indy fans he was going to be out of the league within 2 years of that trade but they didn't believe me. I guess the Colts can take some solace in the fact that the pick they gave up him turned into Johnny Clipboard.
I'm not really even sure what I'm going to do when they go.
Do I keep rooting for a team I feel betrayed by?
Do I try to find another team to follow even though I have no real connection to it?
Do I just stop caring about football now that I've lost what little stake in it I had?
If it's anything like my reaction to the NBA stealing the Sonics? Fuck them forever, and piss on the graves of everyone involved as soon as they have the good grace to die.

This is getting really fucking stupid.
One that was handed to him by an NFL official. Who has since been fired for stealing the ACTUAL kicking ball.

And again, fuck Warren Sapp.

Watch the NBA. It's a superior league right now and there's 99.999999% less concussions to feel guilty about.
