  1. It's a move I support, though he seems like a solid guy. Champions don't keep $4 million players when comparable talent is available for minimum wage.
  2. No freakin' way KW is the 3rd best DT in his own division.
  3. Noted, but the spirit of the "gadget guy" (Wes Welker started this way) is that they open up roster spots and do a serviceable job at a number of positions. My contention is that B. Smith has been subpar at each position he can supposedly play at an NFL level. Quarterback? Pick-six immediately. Returner? Pretty big sample size this preseason and I think I saw him advance it past the 20 only once. And a fumble. Receiver? Had one big shot yesterday and he didn't even lay out for the ball. Among the fringe receivers, Aiken, Easley, Roosevelt and Hagan all looked better than him.
  4. And destroyed a relatively healthy Bills team prior to that. But it's the NFL and "results may vary". I'm 60% confident the Bills win Week 1.
  5. Yes, except...I just don't know if his quality of play at ANY of those positions merits a roster spot.
  6. Ah, American political discourse. Where a man reaching across the aisle to shake hands immediately has it slapped away.
  7. craiglist MINERALS, Marie.
  8. Get well soon, good sir. "Do not go gentle into that good night."
  9. I'm torn. A lot of teams have success using this formula, but the Bills have such a long tradition of scoring fewer points. Don't change horses midstream, I say.
  10. I always figured it was a love triangle thing.
  11. Life must be a big party for my Connecticut friends who work in NYC.
  12. It's about narrative. It's obvious enough that Mike can't have killed Walt in that moment. It would have ruined the show. But it's the perpetual responsibility of the writers, producers, directors and actors to form a cogent narrative. That is, every action means something and every action makes sense. If we take it as a rule (and we have) that Mike can't kill Walt 9 episodes before the show ends, then they can't write a moment where he has the perfect means, motive and opportunity to do so. The man was wounded, but not so much so that he couldn't have lifted a gun and pulled the trigger. After all, he managed to crawl away from the car.
  13. An interesting thought on Walt's self-described "empire business" - there hasn't been an empire in world history (ie. any organization that aimed at boundless expansion) that didn't eventually fold under its own weight.
  14. So why can't he stick with a team? You'd think NFL GMs and coaches would know he's the underrated guard in the league.
  15. Even that won't necessarily protect him.
  16. http://espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp12/story/_/id/8313317/philadelphia-eagles-michael-vick-health-guaranteed-flak-jacket-maker Any chance this becomes a trend if it keeps Vick's ribs safe?

  18. That's all well and good about Osweiler, but if you think we're just gonna lay down like a bunch of garlic sticks you're sorely mistaken. This is the epitome...THE EPITOME of class clownsmanship.
  19. Well there's your problem. Everybody knows there's no money in the eel business. You get into eels because you LOVE EELS.
  20. No, that'll still make it harder.
  21. Many women seem to judge their own social value on the possession of a man, whereas the social value for men is in sewing wild oats.
  22. The Bills don't need anybody to apologize for them. They passed on a QB who has yet to throw a pass in an NFL game. He's a hard worker who has impressively usurped the starting position. Good for him. Let's see him throw a pass.
  23. This is true. Normal platonic friendships are rarely derived from a scenario with intense feelings. "Staying friends" is a good deal for divorced parents with kids. Otherwise, no.
