I am ok with the Bills acquiring and adding as much talent as they can find right now. Training camp and preseason will sort it out before Week 1. Much like the rest of us in our jobs and lives, sometimes we just need to find or fall into the right situation.

When you look at Philly you see a team that has no QB, no WRs, no healed and healthy MLBs between Alonso and Ryans (torn Achilles), no defensive backfield outside Byron Maxwell. They have a decent OL and DL. All football personeel decisions are being made by a coach with precisely TWO YEARS of NFL coaching experience and ten minutes of NFL personnel experience. Why would Gore leave a grease fire in SF to go play in the middle of a tire fire?

I love the insider information. I think it's up to each individual fan/poster on whether you feel it is legitimate or plausible. I always wondered if George Seifert was indeed sitting/standing/enjoying a coffee at any Buffalo area airport anytime that year. On the flip side, somebody broke the news of something preposterous on first glance - Mario Williams in Buffalo, talking deal?

FWIW, (and maybe not much at all), there is buzz in the Philadelphia market that the Eagles are very interested in acquiring Kaepernick. Should that happen, and with Sanchez coming back, that would in theory, make Nick Foles expendable.

That's a really odd pairing.

Doug Free, T Mike Iupati, G Brooks Reed (Jerry Hughes reclamation project 2.0) Henry Hynoski/Cory Harkey (Top shelf run blockers) (Assumes Jerry Hughes isn't resigned and that the Bills find TE additions via draft)

Agreed. I didn't find Salvation to be a truly terrible movie. Much like the 3rd installment, it had it's moments. I'm surprised the Terminator franchise didn't ditch the whole "send the emotionally challenged robot from the future" script and replace at least one of the movies with no cyborgs but with a sci-fi/conspiracy story. Skynet was destroyed but some evil corporation, government, etc. is hell bent on getting that band back together, piece by piece. The TV series with Lena Headley went somewhat in that direction before it was cancelled. You wonder if there will be superhero fatigue. There are a lot in this new Avengers/Expendables-Lite movie, and with studio persistence in endless reboots of Batman and Spiderman and countless other solo pictures coming out, will people get bored? Speaking of Expendables, I see that's going to be a TV series now. Perhaps Carl Weathers can finally make it in one.

Exactly. I like Jerry and would like to see him stay in a Bills uniform but I also acknowledge he's a system guy. If a team thinks they can just throw him on any defense and he'll produce double digit sack totals, the Colts would beg to differ.

Here's my take FWIW. I have only had one smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy IIIS. Samsung products are pretty good. (I love their TVs.) Their phones can take a beating. The charging port wears out on them fairly fast and the battery isn't the greatest. Phone has a lot of bloatware, especially on later versions. I upgraded to an HTC One M8. I don't need the fancy camera on the M9. The battery life is excellent (and may be the best industry wide) and it's an all metal case with a 2014-era processor driving it.

I remember the same discussion back around Mario time. At the time, I was in the camp of instead paying one great guy all that money, you could get two "good" guys. After seeing how Mario plays, I'm more inclined to bring Iupati in if I had to spend $9 million on a guard or guards.

Another vote for Nexus tablets. They are well built, aren't as propreitary as the Kindle, inexpensive and can handle the abuse a kiddo will give it.

From living in the Philadelphia market, McCoy had a radio show, was around town and arguably the face of the franchise. Not to mention he's only every played football in his life an hour or two away from home. That being said, that's a hurdle that has to be overcome. Buffalo isn't that "far" from central Pennsylvania, he's keeping his salary, and he's going to a rising team in a new conference where he will play a lot. You'd like to think cooler heads will prevail.

Trades are fun. Are you not entertained? Yes. I don't know why folks expect every trade to be a home run. Perhaps since the minor trade (at the time) for Hughes turned out very well? I don't think he's had any disasters with the trades. From minor to major ones, all the players are talented football players. As for free agent signings though, the Chris Williams deal will always baffle me.

Ricky Ray. He's old but the CFL thing worked for us once upon a time. I wouldn't be shocked if they bring all sorts of guys into camp. A CFL legend like Ray perhaps, a draft pick, a free agent, E.J. and see how the pile sorts itself out.

Pretty even swap in my eyes as both teams (IMO) address needs. I think another fan said it well. Heart says Kiko, Brain says McCoy.

The client with the talking toilet was comedy gold last night. Quickly becoming one of my favorite shows to watch.

Avengers:AOU will test audience patience and attention. Movie clocks in at nearly three hours and they are getting into Ocean 11 territory with bunches of actors and characters all over the place. The Mission Impossible films have all suffered from not having an above average or remotely entertaining antagonist. I'm a big fan of the Terminator concept and movies, but sooner or later, somebody has to come up with something besides "big mean computer keeps sending various ethnicities of Terminators back to kill THIS guy or THAT woman." Is the sequel going to be Terminator Justice league with Asian Terminator, Arnold 1984, Robert Patrick, Female Terminator and Tim Burton's former girlfriend Terminator ALL in one movie hunting various versions of John Connor in Los Angeles?

New administration brings in their own guys. It stands a decent chance of happening. I wouldn't doubt that his camp leaked it to eliminate his trade value and allow him to pick the future team instead of the Bills. That being said, you'd hope the Bills have a plan because I'm not sure Jeff Tuel is an acceptable answer to the backup QB question. I think the only reason McCown is talking to the Bills because they've told him he'll start here.

ESPN is in the entertainment business. Rex Ryan is entertaining.

The snow seems light by PA standards but the duration and severity of the cold seems unusual. It's to the point where it's barely 30 degrees out and you're thinking "hmm it's warm out today."

If this were a logical problem with a logical solution, then yes, he'd just stay in Minnesota. For ego-laden star athletes however, it's all about "respect." However one wishes to define it.

I think BCS gives Justified a run for its money for the quality of the writing.

What was the high water mark of logo design? 1980s? Has there been a great one since then?

Ever get the feeling the ISIS problem is getting to the point where it's about to break containment? I do. I am more worried about ISIS than I am about al Qaeda.

I see a man who down deep doesn't really want to be a head coach. I see a guy who is content with being an assistant coach. That's cool with me.
