I don’t think this is going to be good for them. But we shall see. You never know.

I think it is good for TO to be on a lesser profile team. TO is a great player if left alone to play. But put the spotlight on him, and he is a jerk. Buffalo is about as out of the spotlight in the NFL as you can get.

I agree. The media hates Dallas and I think that most of negative press was generated because of the newsmedia’s hatred of Dallas.

That sounds like a reasonable analysis to me...not that I want to see any of the Pat's division rivals get better, but...I do have a soft spot for Buffalo. Since 1994, I have gone out every single year but one to watch...we have a great time!

My favorite one was a blizzard game, and we rented a Ryder truck out there to go to the game in...we ended up putting couches and chairs from our sleazy motel rooms in the back and taking them to the game with us...

...then I had to drive the truck back to the motel through the blizzard after the game, and we had fifteen guys and all that furniture sliding around in the back...I could hear them yelling and cursing as the truck slewed from side to side, and so did they and the furniture!

We had seats behind the goalpost...

The other thing about this game that I remember was two young Buffalo fans, probably aged 14 or 15 sitting next to us...in this vicious weather, wind blowing, probably around zero with wind chill, and...they had no shirts on. One of the kids was more muscular, and obviously the leader of the two, but the other kid was skinnier, and he was shivering and his lips were blue, but...he wasn't going to be the first to put his shirt and jacket back on. Just crazy. Finally, a cop came down and said to the kids (not unkindly) "Look guys, you gotta put your clothes on. There's people back here who are worried about you..." It was kind of nice the way the cop handled it. He did it without really making a big deal out of it.

Its only a 1 year deal. Its soo he can spend a year trying to be quiet, productive, and not a lot of media attention. I’m sure thats the plan by his agent and him. Then he can jump to a bigger market team with a longer term deal. The guy has been a cancer for Dallas and nobody is going to take a long term chance on him right now.

OTOH, he'll be a very big fish in a very small pond.
