you're not his mom, are you? if so, my sincerest apologies to you Mrs. Etukeren. i mean no offense to your son. jw ADD: Hey Lori, if rginal is not related to Etukeren, he might be the one who started the write-in petition to have Rory Fitzpatrick voted to the NHL All-Star game a few years back.

you don't happen to know when those tackles happened. not against Aaron Rodgers or Ryan Grant, perhaps. oh, there it is, way in the back, final two series. -- he tackled T.Sutton (actually pushed out of bounds) after 10 yard gain. -- he tackled Lumpkin after 5 yard gain. -- and he tackled Sutton again after 5-yard gain. ... Packers did score on the one series he was in. source: gamebook. again, I have nothing against Etukeren, and hope he has a fulfilling future. but once again, rginal, your comparisons are somewhat lost on me. hey, here's a comparison you might like, i'm guessing Etukeren has had more tackles this preseason than Bruce Smith did in most preseasons. does that mean the two are equal? jw

links? hippitity hoppity. jw

holy crap. for the final time, it's chafie! jw

the storm last night caused a blackout at our place in Buffalo. i don't know what the big deal is. i'm sure Jax gets itself a share of storms, this especially being hurricane season and all. jw bye for now.

as has been noted by myself and others, i think it proves the opposite. jw (trying to keep this thread alive heading into a weekend off and a trip to the drinking place.)

Freeny, Maybin? what are you people talking about when you overlook the fact that, according to the intrawebnet, Etukeren (No. 71, i have come to discover), had equal to or better numbers and is, in fact, on the Bills roster as we speak. jw

The AP reported "about $15 million" in guaranteed. jw

he wasn't sitting out. and i'd dare you to tell that to Kawika's face rather than sitting in the comfort behind your computer. jw

kudos to Shefter. he was dead on. maybin signed contract 10 minutes ago. jw

i'd vote for super members only if they got a cape or something. jw ADD: do super members constitute a justice league?

going off the one i got on wednesday at training camp, which is up to date, except Ryan Neill's gone and the guy they signed isn't on it, so that's a wash. quadruple checked and counted to 80, including Maybin. ... Hardy is on PUP, and listed as such, so he doesn't count against the 80. jw

thanks Mr. Halas! jw

i counted 80, including Maybin. jw

i have not been told an agreement is in place and T.O. backed off it by adding: "I think! (puzzled look ...)" T.O. is also not a good enough source on this, as i'm not sure if he's getting this off the intrawebs chatter or from poster 'Rginal' for that matter. i'm merely saying that a deal was not done at the time i spoke to people. jw

Bartles and James, that's funny. should'a used that. and to quote the two old guys: "thank you for your support." jw

not signed. close is what AP is reporting. jw

the first is a link to an AP story. the other is simply a rehash of what Shefter's reported. AP is reporting that Maybin was still in Maryland as of about 45 minutes ago. jw

see, that's what i thought. thanks. jw

with all do respect to Schef, that's not what i've been told. and i'm not saying he's wrong. story to move shortly. jw ADD: adds link. reporting that they're close. Bills `close' to signing Maybin

i think you need to provide a link for that, otherwise i question your credibility ... j (approaching 500 posts) w. i keed, i keed. ADD: and there it is 500. i'm a stat monger.

i'll leave god out of this one because there's far bigger fish to fry on that end, though i will say that i am not a communist and also have never reported or stated that Maybin will never be a member of the Buffalo Bills. other than that, Joe, i think you're batting 1.000. jw

well, at least i'm witty! there's a start. please come back for more though. jw ADD: by the way, whether or not Etukeren is a diamond in the rough, or Maybin signs matters to me only in how i approach my job. i am not a fan, so hoping is not part of my makeup in these matters. if and when both happen, then i will write a sports story about them and file it to my editor, who will then move it on The Associated Press wire, which can then be viewed on these intraweb sites, which you can then reference or source.

a friend and i spend time at a local watering hole (i know, i know, but true story) making references about the planet Uranus. it's lame stuff, like, "how big's Uranus?" or "does Uranus produce violent windstorms?" and the like. that's when my wife came up with a winner: "hey, did you hear that NASA's sending a probe to Uranus." now that would be a dirty job and would they be able to use the Canada-Arm to collect samples. jw EDIT: adds the planet.

Left Bank is very good. though it's a small place and i'd advise you reserve well before hand. jw
