"I said, 'Sign him,'" Ralph Wilson told the Associated Press. "In Buffalo, we haven't had a national figure publicity-wise since [Jim] Kelly."
Signing an old WR with a reputation for being a locker-room killer to a one-year deal for a team that's starting no less then three new linemen on their offensive line? When there are much more pressing matters (btw, has your first-round draft pick signed yet? Didn't think so) to attend to?
The reality is that TO was signed to get attention, and to sell tickets. On both of those fronts, the signing has been wildly successful. Hey, football's a business; what do I know. I'd just like a winning season one of these years, and beating the Pats now and again would be cool too. But I suspect we're looking at another 7-9 season at best in 2009.
