Marshawn Lynch is Hawaii Bound!

It’s probably not the way he wanted to get there, but Marshawn Lynch will be attending his first (of many?) NFL Pro Bowls in a couple weeks. Thanks to an injury to Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans, Lynch will be participating as an injury replacement. Had the Bills not completely self-destructed in the final 10 games of the season, I believe Lynch would have easily been selected as one of the three RBs to represent the AFC. He continued to improve as the season progressed, and it definitely one of the top backs in the conference, and perhaps the league.

Good for you, Marshawn! Now I’m looking forward to watching the game! No Peters, and lotsa Lynch!

Jason Peters: Did You Expect Anything Else?

As I’m sure you’ve heard, and according to BuffaloBills.com, Jason Peters will skip the Pro Bowl again. This year no official reason has been given for his absence:

At this point no official reason has been given for his inability to participate although Peters did miss the last two games of the 2008 regular season with a knee injury.

Sheesh. Can we please TRADE Jason Peters for a top draft pick??? I stand by my idea as the best possible move for Peters and the Bills. What will stop the “two-time Pro Bowler” from holding out again this offseason? Why would the Bills want to deal with that again, and why in the world would they increase his salary based on his 2008 performance?

They shouldn’t. And I really hope they don’t.

Trade him. Draft the top LT. And then draft one of the top three centers to replace all three of our current subpar centers who are all going to be free agents this offseason. (Chris Brown presents a good case for this at BuffaloBills.com.) I think Walker, Dockery, and even Butler, Chambers and the young fella, Bell are all pretty good linemen. Throw in a couple rookie studs, and we should have a pretty solid O-line. (A line that steadily improved all last season, especially in the running game, which started horribly.)

At least we know, Peters must go.

EXILE ON BBR STREET

HELLOOOO……..LOOOO…………LOOO……..loo……………lo…………HEYYYYY…………..
……..HEYYY…………………..Eyy……………ey………………ANYBODY OUT THERE…….
…….DY OUT THERE………………..OUT THere……………………….there………………….
…………….ere……………

…………….Man, this neighborhood sure is quiet this time of year!………….let’s seeeee, Greg said he was putting a sign on the front door of the BBR house…………….
…………….sort of a “beacon of hope” to wayward Bill’s fans………………

**********************************************************
***GIVE ME YOUR POOR, TIRED, HUDDLED BILL’S FANS****
********YEARNING FOR A NEW OWNER AND COACH********
****TEMPEST TOSSED FROM THE WRETCHED REFUSE*****
***********OF ANOTHER DISASTEROUS SEASON***********
**********************************************************

……….O.K. then,…….this MUST be the place!…….he said the key would be under the front mat………..OH LOOK,….it’s a friggin’ Dolphan’s Doormat…………………..excellent!, now I can “scrape the $*!+ right off my shoes”,……it sure was a long walk from Sweet Virginia!!! Boy, smearin’ muddy poop on the Dolphans never gets old for me.

……It sure was nice of the guy’s to let me hang out here!………………… Cool street to live on…….
with Patriarchal Shaw The Grand Pooba living next door………….Much respect!

…….I sure am going to miss the show this off season, but our beloved hosts are obviously going to be MUCH too busy! Good thing I caught up with them before they left……….

……..Cheery Greg could barely contain his excitement yesterday when I spoke to him. He said he finally got that job as manager of Bousch and Lombs new ROSE COLORED GLASSES DEPARTMENT. He assured me that his “team” would be able to manufacture enough pairs for all Bill’s Nation to use before next season!…………………I just hope the lenses are strong enough to handle the flash burn from “staring down the barrel” of a 5-11 season!……………………

………The good news is that we will have a burn specialist on hand next year!!!!! John told me he will be volunteering his every waking hour at the local hospital’s “skin peel tank” this off season………He mentioned something about trying to make amends and extend an olive branch to “burn nation” because of some “off color comments” he made!!!!!!!!!!!!!……

………..And noone will be busier than special agent Dave “Valkyrie” Drake. I believe he is really starting to gain Ralph “Pod Nazi” Wilson’s trust, and soon will be firmly entrenched in his coveted “Inner Circle”…………He mentioned something about getting Jim “Dooright” Kelly to help enlist special agent T.C.-VH1 to help with some elaborate electronics programming scheme……….
…….but more on that “thickening plot” later……………….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

….Well now that I’m in these fancy new digs I better start decorating………………..let’s seeeee, I’m gonna have to put my “fandemonium” mural over here on this wall………..and I think I’ll use my new Sherman Williams “exclamation point paint” on all the trim………………..
…………….AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…………Jim Kelly and Bruce Smith fatheads with green/white yard marker shag astro carpet………ever sooo limply spinkled with Juron’s red challenge flags…….and hard charging buffalos everywhere……………..perfect!

……..I can put my coveted freshly gold plated pre-chewed slim jim “e-mailer of the year” trophy right over here on my desk right next my laptop.

……..and my Jills blowup doll can sit on the couch next to my Juron Pincushion VooDoo doll………………….both should prove useful

…….No Bill’s pad would be complete without a Dan Dierdork Dartboard……….Just thinking of his bias commentary during Bill’s games makes me want to whip a dart at the bullseye
right now……..I think I will………….Ha! take that Danny…. and you can take your idiotic “crooked goalposts helping our 1990 super bowl team comments”,and shove them up your @$$ with a hepititis pre chewed slim jim!!!……You are no friend of Bill’s Nation!

……..Sorry to disappoint, and break ranks with the current Obama “love fest” going on in the country right now, but you can be assured that there won’t be any enemies of Bill’s Nation hanging around this place if I have anything to do with it………..the list “includes, but is not limited to”
– Joe or any other Jets fan
– Dickless or any other Dolphan
– PicklePuss or any other Patriots fan
– Anyone who utters the words “wide right”, “music city miracle”….etc.

***************GO AWAY YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE*******************

………..I can hang my signed Tasker jersey right here next to my “John’s Quote of the week” plaque…………….which reminds me, Julie Andrews suggested I hang a list of my other favorite things…………………
– My God and country
– My beloved hometown of Rochester
– My beautiful wife and 7 kids (all die hard Bills fans)
– My German Shepard “Titus” (as in avenue)
– My restored 1970 Electra Glide
– Programable Logical Controllers
– Rock A-Z with lots of “R” for Rolling Stones
– and of course BBR Podnation and all things Bill’s related

……….speaking of programming, special agent T.C.-VH1 took me shopping at the big Circuit City liquidation sale yesterday. We purchased many flat screens to hang around the house. He promised me “with his programming expertise” that this BBR hangout would broadcast nothing but Bill’s on a loop………65′,66′ championships…………the “electric company”……………Marv’s tutorial coaching videos…………..vintage 88-94 machine gun Kelly blowouts………..you know, nothing but the GOOD STUFF!

……….Wow , all this decorating sure has worked up an appetite in me……………let’s see what’s in the fridge………………Oh Yeah!.., Zwiegles hots and Wegman’s pop…………….and they packed the freezer with chocolate almond ice cream from Don and Bobs… Ahhhh,let me just stick my head in here and get that good ol’ January freezin’ Rochester feeling……….just a little lick…….AAHHHHH HEWP,!!!! MY PUNG IS THPUCK ON BA MEPAL GRAPE!!!!!!!!!!!……………..

………and all Podnation chants…………………..
……………Missin’ the Show, Wilson must Go!……………

University at Buffalo – BOWL GAME!

UB BullsI am actually an alumnus of three different universities. All undergrad. All within four years after completing high school. That’s kinda strange, but does give me a few teams to root for.

One of those is playing in a bowl game today!

At 1:00pm on ESPN2, you can see the UB Bulls take on UConn (do they have a football team?) in the International Bowl (I think) up in Toronto, Canada. (What is it with Buffalo teams playing in Canada???)

UB actually is not only competitive this year… they’re pretty good! We’ll be rooting them on here.

Also, as a little piece of trivia… way back in the spring of 1994, the UB football team roster included this name: Greg Campbell.

It’s true! But I gave up my career in football to pursue a degree from Cincinnati Bible College and helping people learn to live with Jesus. That’s been an interesting ride! Not what I would have expected. But, I definitely wouldn’t change anything.

I just might be picturing me out there catching passes in the UB blue today… 🙂
