My bro in law is in Charlottesville, VA with Xfinity. I am 100% certain he would not pay extra for a sports package. It must be a regional thing?

We took the family to visit my wife's brother in Virginia last week. He has Xfinity cable (formerly Comcast) and therefore NFL Network. I got just enough of it to realize it is not exactly as great as I hoped it would be. But don't think for a second that I don't want it at my house. I've seen enough in discussions here to know that I am missing out on some good stuff. I'm just plain sick of ESPN (especially Teddy Deuschki), and don't even get me started on the network programs... If that "leaked schedule" from last week is true, and the Bills have another Thursday night NFLN game, I'll be pissed. I, with others, will have to hit the road and go to some sports bar, invite myself over to someone's house who has the NFLN, or sit in front of the computer chasing stream feeds like a criminal. I know I could switch, but the bottom line dictates I stay with Time Warner. I tried to switch to DirectTV last year, but TWC low-balled me and I had to stay ($35 cheaper/month). Is there any hope for these two organizations (TWC and the NFL) to work out this F-ing deal? Does anybody know any specifics of just what the hang ups are?

Not a white collar town.

I've said it before, but I hope the helmets have the matte finish on them. I really like the way they look.

Lookin' to OJ for details from the sideline, awesome!

Changed my avatar... custom job!

I hate the Pats* most Jets (especially Rex Ryan and Fireman Ed) Dolphins (especially Dan Marino and Bryan Cox)

The Jets pressured and rattled him in the 2011 playoff game too. "Can't wait!"

Let's see if he can "own" Revis like Stevie does. Then we can talk the #1/#2 stuff.

+1, I like the new look

Per PFT

Just proves that the patriots suits know how to cry too. His comments made me smile. I love the irony... Let the the AFC East Revolution begin! Time to overthrow the Patriots!

Do you think the Bills moves this offseason (and we have more to come) will help land an SNF or MNF spot? Maybe the game @HOU this year? Or, my favorite, a NYJ game at the Ralph so that smack talking idiot DBrickashaw Furguson can dine on some crow. From James Walker AFCE Blog: New York starting left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson sent a congratulatory tweet Thursday afternoon to Williams, who just signed the richest contract for a defensive player, worth $100 million over six years. "Congrats to Mario, now he has to face us twice a year. I like our odds. Go Jets!" Ferguson tweeted Thursday.

How about Manningham and Tyree?

Nix needs to dig deep and find his inner Deniro, ala Casino, 1995 (Insert M. Williams for Ichikawa) It's a whale like K.K. Ichikawa... who plays $30,000 a hand in baccarat... that's the one you really gotta watch. He plays fast and big and he has the cash and the credit... to turn out your lights. About a year ago he cleaned out a couple of casinos in the Cayman Islands. Downstairs he takes us for two million... and upstairs he takes free soap, shampoo and towels. Another billionaire cheapskate who loved his free rooms... free private jets and two million of our money. But we got him back. I had our pilot tell him the plane was on the fritz. I don't know what the hell went wrong. I'm awfully sorry. I can't understand it. These mechanical things, you know they happen. Hey, but better here than up there, you know what I mean. Then he missed the commercial flights connecting with Japan. I can't believe that there's a convention; there's no room. We got him back with a whole floor of rooms to himself. I'm sorry you missed your plane. Glad to get to know you. Oh, no. No gambling. And once he was back, he played small. He bet 1,000 a hand, instead of his usual 30,000 a hand. ...to the bank with a natural lead over a five. But I knew the trick with whales like Ichikawa... was that they can't bet small for long. He didn't think of it as winning 10,000... he thought of it as losing 90,000. So, he upped his bets. Until he dropped his winnings back and gave up a million of his own cash. In the casino, the cardinal rule is to keep them playing... and keep them coming back. The longer they play, the more they lose. In the end, we get it all.

Fast starts have not been good years for the Bills. Look at 2003, 2008, 2011 2003 (6-10 overall) Week 1 New England Patriots, W 31–0 Week 2 at Jacksonville Jaguars, W 38–17 2008 (7-9 overall) Week 1 Seattle Seahawks, W 34–10 Week 2 at Jacksonville Jaguars, W 20–16 Week 3 Oakland Raiders, W 24–23 Week 4 at St. Louis Rams, W 31–14 2011 (6-10 overall) Week 1 at Kansas City Chiefs, W 41–7 Week 2 Oakland Raiders, W 38–35 Week 3 New England Patriots, W 34–31 Perhaps it would be okay for a slow-ish start. I mean, I don't want them to get too carried away...

+1. But your 2014 number should be more like $4.36 million.

I wonder if the helmets will have that matte finish on them. They have been polished for so long. I know Oregon, Baylor and AZ State had those this year. I thought they looked sweet. IDK how the white would look. Oregon helmet PIC

Per PFT story Let's go Buffalo!

With Martin signed, do we even need to pursue VJax? Seriously though, I thought one of those 7 catches was a good one... does anyone remember?

Total Doucheski

Not a chance in hell that he, or any president for that matter, could compete to the NFL opener. While I think it is respectable to accommodate the President of the United States, they are really accommodating the Democratic nominee. Besides his schedule may clear up for a few more Bears games in the 2013-2014 season...

Can you include players in draft pick deals?
