Great way to start out!

This may be a situation where I think the Bills just need to give into him. Give him his money, pack it with lots of incentives, and let's get back to work.

Great interviewer. Says it's likely Peters will remain a Bill. Likely Bills will take best offer for Roscoe before the draft. I think he's one of the hardest working guys for ESPN.

Mike's on Bills Fan Radio next week.

Tim will be on Bills Fan Radio tonight at 9:20pm et. E-mail your questions for Tim at host@billsfanradio.com.

If Jason Peters is traded, I think Pettigrew is out of the question unless we get another or 2 1st round picks.

I've heard Orakpo isn't high on their boards as he's more just a pass rushing type DE, not an all-downs DE. Orakpo isn't as strong against the rush. edit: I don't claim to have inside connections, but tomorrow night on Bills Fan Radio, we have 2 insiders well-credited and respected that do have inside connections. This is based on what they've discussed with me prepping for show. And I drive a Toyota. =)

If he stays, which I hope he does, I say we stay with a defensive man our first pick. If not, then I'm scared.

You're doing a good job representing my views through Kelly and Sisyphean as well.

I'd trade Josh Reed before Parrish.

Wasn't Roscoe out a few weeks after the season opener? Just because he only returned 1 TD doesn't mean he got every opportunity.

It's pointless for Whitner to sue. Cops will be lining up to testify against him. Not to mention a waste of money and time. Reward isn't that big. They would only compensate him with a win if he were somehow injured.

Do you know if the cops were white in Donte's incident? Do you have proof? You're right, they're are a bunch of racist cops out there. White and black.

Pretty soon it's going to have to be where only a black cop can arrest a black person. Wait, then the black cop gets accused of being "too white".

Lots of people have a hard time remembering that. Lots of people don't remember that police officers are constantly dealing with violent people, so they have to maintain a consistent approach to everything.

Whitner constantly posting twitter updates, facebook status updates, and blogs about what he's doing every single second is dribble. And a tell-tale sign.

I love people so quick to blame it on cops and color. The hard and cold REALITY is that being RIGHT isn't always being SMART. For example, if you get pulled over by a cop and he asks you why you were going so fast, do you really think refusing to answer him is the SMART thing to do? Do you really believe that refusing to answer will produce better results for you than saying, "I'm sorry officer, I didn't realize I was going over the limit?" When pulled over by a police officer, your #1 goal should be move on as quickly as possible. If you refuse to answer, the officer may suspect you're drunk or under the influence of drugs and ask you to exit the vehicle. YOU NEVER WANT TO BE ASKED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE! No one ever gets shot sitting in their driver's seat. No one gets arrested for being polite. No one spends the night in jail for cooperating. Another example would be getting stopped on the street (which happened to me one night in Manhattan in front of my apartment). The cop pulled up in his car, shined the light on me and got out of the car and approached me. He asked for my name and address and then for identification. I was annoyed. The law doesn't require me to answer. But I had a split-second decision to make: BE RIGHT or BE SMART. If I just ignored him, do you think I would have slept in my comfy bed that night or would the probability of him slapping the cuffs on me for some bogus disorderly conduct charge have risen dramatically? I told him my name, showed him my license and two minutes later, he was gone. Let's say I refused to answer him. Imagine the worst-case scenario: He calls for backup. More cop cars pull up. They order me up against the wall for an illegal frisk. I refuse. They pull out their clubs and start beating me. Or someone pulls out their service weapon and points it at my head. Or some juiced up donut muncher tackles me and smashes my face into the pavement, while they cuff me, then throw me in the back of the car, take me down to central booking, and have me arraigned on charges of resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer, and disorderly conduct. I spend 37 hours in an underground cell with criminal scumbags eating bologna sandwiches and unable to sleep. Then I get arraigned in front of the judge, have to hire an attorney, and have to return to court several times. Even if I get all of the charges dropped, I'm out a huge amount of cash and time, and probably my job if I didn't show up for work for 3 days. And don't think you can easily sue and win on a case like this. The cops will line up to testify that you ran, or you tried to grab his gun, or you shoved him first. The legal process of suing the NYPD takes years and juries won't give you any money unless you have a permanent injury. Hurt feelings and the indignity of spending 2 nights in jail just won't cut the mustard.

Does it really bug anyone else that the Bills are using CB's as KR's?

UConn James - I love reading your analysis each week. Do you blog about the show at all? Ben episodes are usually good and this "Dead is Dead" was no exception. I really liked how the episodes have picked up with intensity since "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham". I just don't see Ben giving up so easy on his control. He has proven since the 2nd season to be a master manipulator. And really before that considering he helped The Others wipe out the DI. Why does Widmore want to get back to the island so much? Obviously Ben got back so is it safe to say the island wants Ben back but not Charles? And the question still remains, what is the Oceanic 6's purpose for going back?

Russ: "Can I come on your yacht this summer? I REALLY think you should come hangout in Buffalo more!" Drew: "Sure Russ, we can do that. You just call me in a few weeks, k buddy? Ciao. CLICK."

They're about to talk about it on ESPN News. It's also on the ticker at the bottom.

Did they say preseason or regular season?

First game, Monday night, at New England, we need Beast Mode.

appeal possibility?

What if I had proof that Modrak is in fact SKOOBY?
