Ted's a good man and a decent football coach; it's always sad to read a story like that.

Excellent choice of topic heading. Very clear and concise; it's as if we were all inside your brain.

It would be interesting to hear from someone who can actually tell us what the QB coach does. It's not that I don't enjoy reading everyone's opinion, but I'd like to know the facts. After all, you've got to think that the Bills could have offered the QB coach job to AVP if they wanted to. There's a reason they hired Turk to "coach" the QBs and AVP to study and break down film.

Bingo. That says it all. People who are enamored with one particular draft prospect or another don't get it. This is a process, not a "quick fix" solved by one draft pick. It's a huge relief to hear the two guys in charge of the team say that the lines are priorities 1 and 1-a.

I don't know the extent of the financial details (I'll leave that to experts such as clump), but I don't think the Levy/Moulds relationship should be underestimated. Recall, Levy was still HC when he was drafted, and Moulds has expressed his respect for Marv on numerous occasions.
I'm setting the probability at 80/20 they find a way to get a deal done that keeps Moulds in Buffalo until he retires and provides significant cap relief.
That said, while I was looking at Moulds' career stats one in particular stood out like a sore thumb -- his YPC has decreased EVERY YEAR since his "breakout" year in 1998 (when it was 20.4). 15.3, 14.1, 13.5, 12.9, 12.2, 11.9, and 10.1. Although his career YPC is 13.5, he hasn't reached that level since 2001. I know there are many arguments and "excuses" as to why EM's numbers have slipped (multiple schitty QBs, HCs, and OCs), but this is nonetheless a scary statistic.

Translation: I'm not sure I've gotten my point across that I don't like J.P. Losman, so I keep digging.
Answer: Because he answered 17 more questions correctly.
Dude, go find another crusade.

Marv the GM fired his first shot across the bow today. Notice was served that the Bills will not hesitate to franchise Nate.

I'd suggest that there's never been as transparent a poster on TSW as Holcombs Arm, but then I'd be ignoring the scores of similarly transparent posters on TSW.

...as could a significant segment of the city's population.

Thanks for the clarification. Now that I've subscribed to the 2nd half of Center Ice, I'll be able to get myself back in the swing of things. I've only watched a few Sabres' games this season and feel woefully out of "the know" with respect to the roster, aside from a handful of players.

Don't know if they do this everywhere, but I noticed that they ran the Zamboni down the center of the ice after OT and before the shootout started. For two of the Sabres, it seemed as though they underestimated the slickness and let the puck get way too far in front of them.
In any event, Miller sure gave Laviolette something to think about, stealing that point. It was fun being at the game. I saw a fair share of Buffalo fans, but not enough to create a real vocal contingent. The bandwagoners down here are really starting to like the Canes again.

I know the Raleigh/Durham chapter of the UB alumni association has a group going to this game so that should bring some more people out hopefully. Past Sabres - Canes games have always seen a big turnout of Sabres fans. Anyone planning on going to Blinco's before the game for some wings and beef on weck?
The problem is that in years past, the Canes haven't been the hottest team in the league and on top in the points standings. The fairweather bandwagon fans will be out in full force, just as they were a few seasons ago when Carolina made the Cup run.
Still, I hope there's a vocal Swordsmen contingent. I'll be sporting my new black Sabres cap.

Always double down on 11. Always.

Mrs. E-ball and I will be there, Section 105. Probably won't get to the arena early enough for tailgating.

I have no idea where you came up with this scenario.
Nate isn't worth a first round pick from a playoff team? Of course he is!
For one thing, this doesn't appear to be a big year for corners in the draft. Yes, Nate had an off year in 05, but he is still young, big, and he makes plays.
Personally, I would reject an offer of the Redskins 1st for Nate as insufficient.
I would rather keep him. Jmo.
Bill, I tend to agree with you. I think Nate will flourish in the cover-2 scheme. Where we need help is at safety.

This has got to be fake. The "air bag" starts to inflate before her bag strikes the car. Funny though.

Keep up the crusade and I'm sure I'll find time to comment some more. It's the offseason; this stuff amuses me.
