Things that don't suck: 80-year old new hires

The Buffalo Bills just announced the hiring of 80-year old Hall of Fame Head Coach Marv Levy to take over the role of Vice President of Football Operations for the franchise. Make as many jokes as you want about Marv's age - Marv Levy could eat you for breakfast. At 80, the guy runs 3 miles, 5 days/week, eats right, and is smarter than you. He never left football, so don't be surprised to see the Bills start to emerge as a real threat to the Patriots. Good for him, he's a horse.

The owner of the Bills, Ralph Wilson Jr., however, is out of his friggin mind.

Does this mean all Bills games will be played early so that there is still time to catch the 'early-bird' special?

You wrote: "so don't be surprised to see the Bills start to emerge as a real threat to the Patriots." They could be a threat until the championship game every year and then blow it.

Wait, what about your Jets? When will they be a threat to anyone else other than themselves?

You know, they're giving up on my favorite NYJ coach (Herm beats out Rich Kotite by a hair |s|), so I'm seriously considering mutiny. I hate our owners.

I might start rooting for Green Bay, if only because they're the northern-most team that plays on grass. And by grass, I mean the field.
