[Will Peters Fat Ass Pass the Physical]

I don't see why he won't, even if he's a fatass. John McCargo is a no-name player that really isn't that desirable. Jason Peters is worth MILLIONS!

[Whos going to the draft?]

So I'm still confused...

 

Do you go at 10 pm friday to ensure that you get a ticket? Or do you start lining up earlier?

[Fred Jackson's agent speaks out]

I thought Freddie was smarter than this. The Bills couldnt have made any clearer that if you want a new contract come prove it. Does he deserve a raise sure but holding out isnt the way to go about it. I didnt hear him complaining about collecting a check on our practice squad without other teams being interested in him.

 

 

Is Freddy holding out at all? I was under the impression that because the bills only gave him a tender offer that he hasn't signed, he's actually still not under contract. To be at workouts, you HAVE to be under contract.

 

Can someone clear this up?

[Whos going to the draft?]

I guess I'll be going then haha. Me and my roommate (the Jets fan) and girlfriend (the Pats* fan...FML) were thinking of going, but when we saw tickets running for about $800 on ticketmaster, we bailed on the idea.

 

Now it looks like it's going to happen. I'll see all y'all in line Friday night it looks like.

[Whos going to the draft?]

Thanks Mark, Ill send you my contact information before the end of the week.

 

Now we just need some others to pony up and head up to NYC.

 

I would, seeing as I'm already in NYC, but don't draft tickets usually go for about $800+?

[MNF - Is anyone making the trip to Foxborough?]

Hey guys, first post here for me. Been a long time lurker, first time poster, but I'll be flying up from NYC for that game.

 

Going with the girlfriend... she's a Pats* fan...

I know... blasphemous.
