Regarding a team in LA, Peter King says:
As for the team to play there, the obvious candidates are San Diego (likely the favorite, unless a stadium gets built there, which appears increasingly unlikely) or Oakland. I'd say San Diego's more likely, but this thing has a couple of years to play out.
Always good news, even if it is speculation.

Ronnie was better but Steve was right there behind him.
Does anyone know what happened to our avatars?

Can anyone actually say how much guaranteed money he actually gets out of the deal? I'm under the impression that none of it is. I could have sworn some reporter out there said the Bills can basically cut him during any training camp the next 2-3 years and the Bills don't owe him a cent.
-
I seriously doubt that was his thinking. And even if it was, the comparison still wouldn't make sense. Russell was a first overall draft pick. Newton won't even go in the first round.
How do you have any idea what i was thinking? Are you sitting here next to me?

JaMarcus Russell, meet Cam Newton

Lynch is 24 with 3 years remaining on his contract. Moss is 33 and seeking a long-term deal. Had the Bills unloaded him during the draft (when the rumor was that Seattle offered a 3rd) or before the 2010 Fire Sale they could have gotten more for him. They could have waited for the deadline and got more for him.
Jeff Littman should be set on fire.
That's all it was, a rumor. How are you so sure it was true?

I wish Whaley was the GM. I think he'd do a much better job than what's currently going on here. How much of a say/influence do you think he really has here??? I think he knows how to build a team. Give him the Keys and let him do the job.
Probably a good amount. He is the Assistant General Manager after all.

True, but Manning had little offensive talent around him the first year and the Colts were dreadful. IMHO, Buffalo has enough talent to challenge for a playoff spot in a rookie QB's first year as long as he is the right guy...

This team has recently (2006) been getting an infusion of young high character guys with a team first never say die mentality. With men like Nix (Levy) and Chan (Dick) leading, the Bills are going to turn into one tight knit unit with only one focus in mind. A Super Bowl win for the organization and fans.
We are seeing the evolution of the teams mentality gentlemen. These new players are the types we men and ladies of morals can Really cheer for.
Go Bills!!
We've heard this before. I think we're heading in the right direction but morals don't matter in football. Character does not matter in football. Football character does.

Regariding position advantage rankings, are they ranking DBs vs. DBs, so are they measuring our DBs vs their WRs?
If so they're saying Marshall is gonna burn our secondary.

NFL merchandise revenue is divided equally among all 32 teams. If a billion Wang jerseys are sold in China, the Bills would get the same amount from the sales as Jacksonville, Dallas, or any other NFL team.
Not true. Teams have a chance to "opt out" of the revenue sharing regarding Jerseys. Since Oakland and Dallas have high selling jerseys, they both opted out of the program, even though Oakland still gets all the other revenue sharing.

Jets Executive VP Tannenbaum and Rex Ryan were discussing the 4 week suspension of Santonio Holmes
Rex: "If we can hang in there for four weeks, we got help on the way."
Tannenbaum: "We go Buffalo... we got Buffalo."
I hope we beat them again this year. Also that the win come handily, not in some OT squeaker.

Everyone was under the assumption that Levitre was as good as Wood last year. From the game play that just wasn't the case. He is a rookie. Hopefully he'll get better but there are no guarantees in this game.
I was a bit suprised when everyone was shrugging off the idea of taking a guard in the draft just because "we've got two 'good' ones." We will see.

I like the fact that he has FOUR three year olds.

Al Davis born 1929
Bill Bidwell born 1931
Virginia McCaskey born 1923
Jerry Jones born 1942
Pat Bowlen born 1944
William Clay Ford, Sr. born 1924
Tom Benson born 1927
John Mara born 1954
Steve Tisch born 1949
Alex Spanos born 1923
Bud Adams born 1923
Ralph Wilson born 1918 isn't that unique. I submit that all of these owners need to consider estate planning.
Al Davis born 1929 - I doubt it. Al will hold on til the reaper
Bill Bidwell born 1931 - No way. keep in family
Virginia McCaskey born 1923 - Possibly
Jerry Jones born 1942 - No way. Keep in family
Pat Bowlen born 1944 - Very distinct possibility
William Clay Ford, Sr. born 1924 - No way. Keep in family
Tom Benson born 1927 - Possibly
John Mara born 1954 - No way. Keep in family
Steve Tisch born 1949 - No way. Keep in family
Alex Spanos born 1923 - Very possible
Bud Adams born 1923 - Same as Big Al.
My gut goes with the Chargers. Spanos is old and didn't isn't his trucking company doing crappy? Also I believe the family announced not too long ago his health is declining.

Have all the issues been ironed out with the Rams? Couldn't find any definitive articles if Kroenke actually buying them. I know he already owns a 40% share.
-
If he plays for the Pats I am for first person hoping he gets chopped blocked and can't walk for years. I have no love for people that say and do different things let him learn to walk again and see how he feeling about playing for the Pats
Thanks for your educated contribution to this board.

I always think its amazing how an injury early in a players career can affect or stunt the growth of a player so much. Obviously those first few years (and offseasons, OTAs, training camps, ect) are so integral.
But how many players have we heard had an injury in their first or second years and make a Pro Bowl at some point? I can't think of any. They either get labeled injury prone or just fall too far behind to get carried on a roster anymore with potential alone.
Thats what scares me about Hardy and McKelvin (not saying their careers are over whatsoever). Let's hope they can break that mold.
But back to that question: Do you guys know of any players that have been injured their first or second years that rebounded into solid/stud players later on?
The only person I can think of is McGahee...but obviously thats a strange case since it happened before he ever played a down.

Per Tim Graham:
Wake narrowed his choices to four teams, including the Buffalo Bills, before choosing the Dolphins. "Buffalo really put a great package together," Sheehy [Wake's Agent] said. "They did a wonderful job recruiting him."

Don't know about financially but we definitely put the press on if you believe his agent.
-
If I recall correctly NFL types were saying Buffalo actually gave him the best offer financially. He probably thought Miami offered a better chance.

Troup! Sounds like a great pick for a reach at the at the second spot. Ha Ha!
Great job to the Scouting staff and Nix!!!!

I agree. Joel Stein of Time wrote a column recently on this type of behavior. Its pretty funny. My favorite part is Matt Lauer's comment on the Supreme Court and Stein's response:
"Here's how the current bench will look. Five of the current Justices will be graduates of Harvard Law School. Three will be graduates of Yale Law School. Another will have gone to Yale Law School but graduated from Columbia ... Doesn't it sound a little elitist to you?" Undoubtedly, spell-check sounds a little elitist to you when an hour of your news program is anchored by Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford.
I had assumed the Supreme Court was one of the places that needed to be elitist. Being a Supreme Court Justice isn't like being a community-college student or a Huffington Post columnist. The court is one of the few institutions in which people have to do some elite thinking. Have you ever read the Constitution? Of course you haven't: it's boring as hell. It's for nerds. It contains sentences like "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed." Now try to use that sentence to explain why gays should or shouldn't get married. You can see why you'd have to go to Yale Law for this.
