  1. I will not try and one up a few of the people on here who do a great, in depth job at reportin on Bills Camp. It was my first time attending since I have been away in the Marines for 21 years and recently retired. So here is just a few bulleted quick hits in no specific order

     

    -Fitz looked very sharp and has a great command of the offense. My only concern on the out patterns he lacks a little zip in the ball. Be prepared for a few pick sixes from that.

     

    -Terrence Mcgee was still re habbing on the sideline and his knee was still in a brace. I would say he is 50/50 on making the team. Injuries can change those percentages in his favor.

     

    -Vince Young looked, well, like Vince Young. The offense lined up in 5 WR sets, no O or D line, Just a few LB's, Safeties and Corners. On one play he had a receiver wide open back of end zone, threw short and it was picked. Other throws were not on time and not properly placed.

     

    -George Wilson will have a HOF season. He was all over the place and just is fun to watch. He has complete control of the defense. Gotta love him!!!

     

    -Moorman was booming punts!

     

    Kudos to the staff at SJF.... they were very courteous and ready to be of assistance. My boys loved the interactive zone. For the love of God, Please get some more shaded areas, Damn it was hot with very little refuge. I am excited for the season to start. Go Bills.

    Thanks for the report but more importantly for your 21 years of service.

  2. He sounds like texas Wrangler material. I wonder if he knows all his kids names?

    Named them all Travis. That way when its time for dinner all he has to do is yell "hey Travis, come home, Time for dinner."

    When he only wants one them he calls them by their Mother's last name.

     

    My weak attempt at humor tonight.

    The cops aren't f##king with you for giggles. They are just as afraid and distrustful of you as you are of them.

     

    I previously mentioned that my father was a policeman. He gave me some very good advice which has helped in the few encounters that I had with law enforcement (never been pulled over or the reason they were called, but have been around when they were)

     

    Keep your hands visible

    Don't make any sudden gestures

    Show them your drivers license when they ask

    Don't be a smartass

    If they tell you to go over there and get out of their way, do it

    This advice has twice gotten me out of tickets when I was clearly in the wrong. Ran a red light after playing volley ball in a bad section of town. Rolled down the window, put my hands and arms outside it. After a bunch of yes sir and no sirs, cop let me go wihout a ticket and told me I should probably find a different place to play volley ball. Took his advice. Pretty much the same scenario when a cop pulled me over for doing 75 in a 55. Last thing he said was slow down, 75 is too damn fast. took his advice also, now keep within 5 mph of the speed limit.

  4. It is a step - but I would be more for 8 teams- it would only take 3 weeks which the bowl season spans anyways and would give 7 games - enough for any major bowl to get in on if they wanted

    Here is my version of the 8 team playoff:

    New Years day - Top 8 teams play (in my perfect scenario they would play in the bowl games of my childhood, Cotton, Orange, Sugar, and Rose)

    This is followed by a 5-10 day break for the players before they start preparing for the semi finals, which will be held the day before the NFL championship games. So there would be semi-final Saturday for college followed by Championship Sunday for the NFL

    College championship game will be held the following weekend, the bye week before the Super Bowl.

    Never happen but if it did I would truly be footballed out and ready for a break from watching it.

  5. At least Hillis had 1 monster year. Until Stevie stops racking up his 1000 yards in meaningless situations, stops being an attention hound, starts catching balls when they matter, and stops blaming God when things go wrong - I can't consider him a good player.

    God's tweet to Stevie..."I gave you clear blue skies in Buffalo in November, tripped the corner 15 yards down the field, and put a perfect spiral in your hands. What more did you want?"

  6. Q How many men does it take to do the dishes?

    A None, its women's work

    followed up with

    Q How many men does it take to change a light bulb?

    A None, if your wife can't change it herself let her do the dishes in the dark.

     

    Anyways gotta run and do the dishes.

  7. In 1961 I was 13 and played on a little league football league in the Kensington section of Buffalo. At season's end the team had a banquet at a place on Bailey Ave. near Amherst. I took the Genesee bus and then transferred to the Bailey bus to attend. Al Bemiller, the Bill's center, from Syracuse U. and a wide reciever from Eastern Carolina, whose name I can't recall were the guest speakers. Afterwards, I was waiting for the bus, and a car stopped and these two guys were driving back downtown to a hotel and they offered to drive me to my house near Genesee and Moselle. They were very friendly and engaging and as you might imagine, they have always been my favorite Bills. Now one of you is going to remind me what the wide reciever's name is. He was tall, tanned and had a great southern accent which reminded me of Andy Griffin. I have no idea if they were great players, but was convinced they were good men.

    cool story, if they weren't great players they were great men
