R. Rich

When does Riggins get back? Or, is Rice his replacement? I sure hope not. Riggins isn't great, but I mind him a lot less than I do Rice. Of course, they really need for Shannon Sharpe and Cris Carter to return.

How sad. I liked the part in When Harry Met Sally when he was so happy over the wagon wheel table. Funny stuff.

Thanks to Schein, I've discovered that our first round picks are actually related: Donte Whitner-Reach, and John McCargo-Reach.

While you're @ it, give 'em Shaun Alexander to run the ball, Walter Jones to anchor a rock solid offensive line, and Mike Holmgren to not only believe in him enough to trade for him, but to stick w/ him when he's not doing well and continue to coach him up to where he's ready. Not much to ask for @ all.

Jerry Rice (and maybe even erry Rice) is proof that just because a person is a great football player, it doesn't necessarily mean they are great broadcast announcers. I just can't listen to him stumble through his ANALysis of QBs (they all "have to mature, develop, blah blah blah...") or his far too frequent mispronouncing of players' names. Maybe it's a San Fran thing? After all, Randy Cross is annoying and Ronnie Lott was perhaps the worst broadcaster of all, and that includes Eric Dickerson ("Al?") and TMEP.

Isn't that what everyone wants? Thin is in, right? Isn't that the reason women like Courtney Cox and Jennifer Connelly basically ruin their bodies so that they can look like stick figures too?

Will do, Paul. Once I set it up, you can check the league's website for the information.

I can't watch that show. It's annoying to me, except for Riali's smarta** remarks @ times. It must really have been unbearable back before Riali when Max Kellerman, host of the Fox Sports PTI wannabe show "I, Max", was the show's host.

Smith is a very knowledgeable NFL beat writer and I do think he did a good job w/ his summary of the Bills.

I'm in. I hope I'm able to be there for the draft, since it's during the day. I know I couldn't participate in Yahoo! drafts from work due to a firewall.

I've kept this thread open ever since the end of the season, plus our league site on Fanball is open year 'round. Send me your address and I'll send you your prize money. As long as you designate your keepers by Friday, there's no problem. I actually set a deadline for July, but I've been lenient as I know people run into problems and such. I intend to set up the draft on Saturday, so whoever hasn't designated keepers by then will have them designated by me. Our draft date will more than likely be September 2nd or 3rd. It will be a live draft, and will be held in the evening.

There was a problem w/ the password for the other league, but I think I've figured it out. For those interested, try this: 1. Go to NFL.com 2. Sign in. If you're not already registered, you'll have to register. 3. Search for our leage ("TBD Maniacs") and use the following password: WHITNERSAGEN That should get you signed up for the league.

The league isn't full yet, so I don't know what the problem could be.

Dog him? To the contrary, I see many in the media giving him the Tedy Bruschi treatment already. I think Bush will be a guy who will be good for a few nice plays, but he won't score every time he touches the ball. He had a brilliant 44 yard run, where he just outran the defense to the corner in a Madden-like fashion. Beyond that, he had 5 carries for 15 yards and 2 catches for 10 yards. He's got the potential to be outstanding, people just need to calm down in regards to him.

Who's cablelady?

I hope he's doing better than the last time I saw him. He wasn't looking too good then.

Go get 'em, Nicholas. I'm always excited about the season. Even if the team doesn't leave you w/ a ton of hope, I still love this team. Also, I like getting together w/ my fellow Bills fans too.

Sorry, but I sold mine already. Then again, you'd probably just get another sweetheart deal w/ the Bills and skip out on them, anyway (haha!!).

Happy belated birthday

I saw the outsourcing show, and I thought it was interesting. Watching that Indian couple get 'Americanized' during the course of the show was amusing.

RICHard, I am hoping to make another trip up to my home away from home, but the money's tight w/ 4 trips up to RICH planned this year, the Bills @ Ravens game & tailgate coming up (you're coming to the game this year, right?), a trip to Pittsburgh for a Steeler game, and a trip in February to Vegas coming up. I'll do my best, 'cause I do want to get back there. Maybe Sid will meet me there again.

Still plenty of room in the Buffalo Bills league, and 3 more spots left in the TBD2 league.

Which league are you referring to? The ID for the Yahoo! lagues is posted in this thread, so feel free to sign up for either or both of those. I'm still trying to work out some password problems w/ the NFL.com league.

Yes.
