[I Can't Wait For The Home Opener!!!!!]

Only 17 more days until the opener and just 2 WEEKS before I start my vacation and head up to the Buffalo area!

Keeping my head razor shaved and I am tanning it nice and dark. We will have to have a shiny head contest.

[OT: Need to know about connectivity]

Anyone one else having these problems...Its terrible.

I hope its not my PC.

RR was down this afternoon for me for less than an hour. It is generally quite reliable, so of course I really needed it. I am setting up my daughter's PC for college.

Good post.  I was so pissed that I slept thru it. Anyways...who were the 25 or so players that signed?  Any big names? Or just the rookies?  How long did they sign for?

Sounds like you could not make it for personal reasons, Big Mike!

 

They were signing autographs for over a half hour. We were by the end zone bleachers, so I missed a lot of the players.

 

As Cindy said, VI - the deals were simple markdowns, but each grandkid got a souvenir and some autographs. I told them how my Dad used to take me to the practices when I was their age and I played on the dirt piles while he watched camp.

 

We went to Bill Gray's for lunch - they are not ready for garbage plates!

 

With the help of a roster and my memory:

 

54 Jon Dorenbos

9 Rian Lindel

24 Terrence McGee

77 Lauvale Lape - the only player I recognized w/out a numbered jersey

64 Ben Sobieski

83 Lee Evans

87 Tim Euhus

70 Dylan McFarland

41 Luke Lawton - spoke with him a bit - he is a long shot but a very nice guy

 

I think there are no errors - I know there are omissions.

 

All the players were in good spirits that I saw.

 

I made 8 camp days last year, but just 2 this year when I actually could watch practice.

 

A good prelude to the fall.

Here are my very few X's and O's:

 

Drew looked very sharp on the few plays I saw. Travis Brown looked ready to be a solid #2 and step into #1 if necessary. Greg Zolman looked prepared to be the #3 quarterback. He got a lot of reps with handoffs and quick dump passes to TEs and RBs. After all, #3 only has to know the playbook, be familiar with the team and be ready if there's a disaster. I would not do SQUAT to bring in another QB if I was the Bills.

 

That said, I barely saw 15 minutes of practice, as I had three generations of Rockpiles with me today (Grandpa, two daughters, four grandkids) from age 51 to 10 months. We spent most of our time playing in the Bills experience, buying merchandise and getting autographs.

 

I smiled warmly as 18 year old daughter Kalene had her hat on, signed by Phil Hanson almost a decade ago, and 8 year old granddaughter Leigha had her brand new hat signed today by Evans and several other players. There must have been 25-30 players signing autographs today. It was sunny, very warm and a blast.

 

I felt good bringing up new generations of Bills fans and showing them WHY "Papa" was a Bills fan. Got to speak to some of the players a bit. Wished them luck with the road trip and their careers.

 

All in all a very spendid morning.

[Good that Jp broke his leg]

After reading subject line, I was wondering if this is why Harriet calls you "boogerhead"?

 

[Okay, so what *is* the deal with avatars?]

A "<Shift> Refresh" (hold down <Shift> while refreshing) will definitely work (forces reloading of all content....).  Should have mentioned that earlier...
