Just in Atlanta

Don't worry about ESPN and NFL network. We're the second smallest market in the NFL and haven't made the playoffs in 12 years. We'll get our props when we start kicking ass--all year long, not just for half a year--and actually playing in January.

Thanks! Mario was a great prescription. Also helps with steroids, antibiotics and codeine-enhanced cough syrup.

Getting an Xray of my lungs. Pneumonia and bronchitis.

See your point, but I stand by my point. Maybe Kelsay can learn right DE. Maybe someone else can fill in. We don't need pass rush help in the first two rounds when we have glaring needs at OT and WR.

I hate to overstate things, but I think we just did build our D yesterday. Mario is that big. Our D line / linebackers were below average, our CBs were average, our safeties were above-average. Having one of the best D lines in the league, if not THE best, improves our entire defense and takes pressure of our offense. If Buddy is true to what he said, we aren't signing any more FAs. I say draft offense in the first two rounds. We desperately need an OT and No. 2 WR. Our pass rush / run D will be stellar. No need to improve on stellar, IMO, at least not high in the draft.

I can't believe I'm saying this. But the only way I'd ever say this is if we had just signed a killer DE. Since we just did--I thought we were going to sign V. Jackson--and since Buddy alluded that we weren't going to sign any more FAs, let's draft a WR in the first. I know the good teams don't generally do this--NE, Pitt, GB--but we need a big-time receiver to compliment Gailey's spread system. Floyd could fit. Hell, Blackmon might be available with so many WR FAs on the market. Then, maybe OT in the second, OLB in the third, CB in the fourth. I know we're a bit weak at CB but with a solid D line, that should take a lot of pressure off the secondary. I would normally say draft an OT in the first, but the only legit 1st round one, from what I've seen, will be taken. That should plug some holes already. Still can't believe we got Mario!

Great column.

I hope his negotiation endurance is as good as his on-field endurance is.

Inside sources tell me Mario is staying in Buffalo another night to sleep on it. Just kidding. Have a feeling it's about to get done soon. Course, that's what I felt yesterday at this time.

Did Bud Adams borrow Buddy Nix' leather barn coat? Ralph IS cheap. Can't even buy his GM a jacket.

ESPN's Adam Schefter just said Mario has not secured any plans to meet with other teams yet and is still meeting with brass. He corrected what's her name, who said Mario had left Buffalo.

The Bills need to get some word out. If not, I propose a class action for pain and suffering. Any lawyers out there?

If he leaves without signing, he needs to take the bus to Chicago. Gotta believe that much time at OBD was not for naught, though. Let's hope the other alleged visits are merely formalities.

Repeat...I repeat...alleged 7 pm presser just what some dude is saying on Twitter about what some other dude said about some other dude.

Zane Bancroft ‏ @ZaneBancroft4 @AdamBenigni @PeckOnSports reports are that announcement on#MarioWilliams signing will be made at 7pm!? #rumor Just reporting what someone else is reporting what someone else is allegedly reporting.

One tweet says an announcement is at 7PM.

OK, it's 4. Sounds like a good time to schedule a press conference to me.

Yeah, I can see him in a Bills uni doing this: https://twitter.com/#!/KevinBuffalo/status/180000450672721921/photo/1

SF not going to happen--just signed Moss. Mia, maybe--just lost Marshall. Mario and Mario, Williams and Williams. Love it!

Dorkington, don't give me ideas. I'm on deadline.

This is not good for my ADD. Hard enough to concentrate on work on a regular day without feeling the compulsive urge to refresh TBD every two minutes.
