Hold up. Reich is a great QB, let's not forget that. in his starts for the
Bills he is undefeated. But, the only reason he's good is because he is
smarter and doesn't get rattled. Free agency will not hurt the Bills as much
as everyone says. A For instance: Say you are Making $1 million a year playing
at Seattle. You're a free agent. The Raiders offer you $1.5 million. The Bills
offer $1.3 million. Whom do you pick? The Raiders for the money? They are not
an up-and-coming team. They've made the playoffs twice out of the last five
years, being humiliated in the Champ game by the Bills 51-3. Al Davis is
supposedly not the greatest person to work for. The Bills, on the other hand,
are a recognizable team. They have made it to the Champ game 4 of 5, winning
the last three. They have a great organization, and the glory of the
SuperBowl. The raiders are a has been, the Bills are a now. Hell, there's a
good chance you wouldn't even start for the Bills, because they have so much
talent. Smith won't leave, Bennett won't, Kelly won't, Thomas won't, Reed
won't, Davis won't, and Reich won't. All franchise players, all want to end
their careers in Buffalo. And, believe it or not, Buffalo is a great place to
live. The weather gets a bad wrap, but at least we have skiing occasionally.
We have a lake to use, and a very low cost of living. A house that would cost
Kelly $5-6 million in LA would only cost $1-2 million. P.S. Kelly has built
such a house in Orchard Park, with an identical one next to it he built for
his brothers. And this is from the guy who eight years ago vowed never to
play, visit or even think about LIVING in Buffalo. Now, he is as big a Buffalo
backer as anybody, even us natives. I only hope you all down there in
Washington or LA don't get shot up in the crossfire from all those drug wars.
Oh yes, Buffalo's mayor may be an drunken idiot, but at least he doesn't sell
drugs to schoolchildern.
