That second one doesn't sound like he was insulting Donahoe to me. Looks like he said Campbell, Pollack, and Parrish have generated the most talk of all the minicamps.

He should talk to some offensive-minded coaches about a vacancy on his staff. His teams have always played good defense and have always relied on a streaky player (Starks in NY) and a big man (Ewing) to win games. McGrady is nice and all, but I miss Stevie Franchise, Cutty Mobley, and Kelvin Cato.

I know exactly who he is: hopefully the next ex coach of the Rockets.

Yeah, right.

Ooh! You said a dirty word. I'm telling. I'll post the pictures (and email 'em to you, Rock) after I get back to Baltimore, which should be some time tomorrow evening. If not then, I'll do it some time on Sunday.

PM me a contact number and I'll call you once I get to Steve's place.

You shouldn't hate.

He's not my son.

King is not going to beat out Phillips for a CB spot. Although Zemaitas isn't as talented as Phillips, PSU loves him, so I don't see him beating out AZ, either. Even though he hasn't done much (thanks to "The Curse"), KJ is still an active player as well, I believe. At least, he was as of last year.

Booster meeting is Wednesday, I'll probably be in the area until Thursday night/Friday morning, then I'll be off to Erie to see my new niece for the first time. That's a tad bit more important than the meeting, wouldn't you say? Of course I'll be @ Nick's the Friday before the opener.

Such punishment. You really know how to get to me.

1. Steve and I are planning to go to Tahou's tomorrow afternoon, probably around noon or 1pm. Feel free to join us. 2. I'll be staying @ Steve's place, but if we want to arrange to meet up before going into the meeting, I'm open for suggestions. 3. I kid because I love.

I hope to still be able to make the booster meeting. I can't say for sure whether I'll be there or not. If I do make the trip, I'll be going up to Nick Tahou's for a plate on Wednesday w/ LancasterSteve, but I'll probably be in Erie on Friday, so that's out.

You were @ Danny's that Saturday? Did we meet?

Happy birthdy to you both. Hey tmk-nj, I'd better see you at the opener. Tell your boy, you know, your cowardly co-worker who wouldn't come watch the Bills-NE game w/ us in CNJ last year, he'd better show up too.

Before his injury last year, Foster would've been the no brainer choice for you here. You could hope for a full recovery and keep him, or go w/ either Boldin or Stokley. I think Koren Robinson is so overrated and his hands aren't reliable at all. Me? I'd probably take a risk and keep Foster. If healthy, he's a beast!

I hear ya. I live about 6-6 1/2 hours away, and I would not want to make that drive the same day. I did that back in '96 (for the Patriots game), and I was worn out.

Whatever do you mean, Gavin? Stop misquoting me.

Just 139 days and counting!!!!!

There goes the neighborhood.

Like one of the bios on him stated, "...this is not your father's Munoz..."

*Man, was I shocked to see Aaron Rodgers fall to Green Bay, the team that badly needed a QB and secretly hoped to have a shot at Rodgers (considering that nobody seemed interested in trading up and how the teams at the top, other than SF, wanted to go in other directions than QB. **Mike Williams (WR) to Detroit? Either Charles Rogers has been sent a clear message, or Millen has forasken his lousy defense w/ his first pick. One thing is for sure: Joey Harrington is running out of excuses now! He's got plenty of weapons now w/ R. Williams, M. Williams, Rogers, Jones, and free agent TE Marcus Pollard. If he can't get it done for them now, he should be outta there. Just imagine if the Lions HADN'T drafted Harrington: there's a very good chance that the Bills would have...........ugh! ***I was also shocked to see New Orleans trade up to Houston's spot, but NOT draft Derrick Johnson, a guy they not only badly needed, but badly WANTED too! Still, maybe Jammal Brown will be a factor for them. Once they announced the trade, I really thought it was to draft DJ ahead of Kansas City, particularly after Thomas Davis was taken. ****Dallas had a nice first round, getting both Demarcus Ware and Marcus Spears. They've addressed their pass rush (Ware) and got a guy who should be a great fit to their 3-4 front (Spears). *****On to our beloved Bills. Taking Parrish in the 2nd round threw me for a loop. I really thought they'd go OL or maybe even CB w/ that pick. Is it a bad pick? No. He could become a very productive slot receiver for us, something we need. All I need to do is think of the Pittsburgh game last year to know the importance of having a good slot WR to create matchup problems. He's potentially a good one. Also, the Everett pick was a good one as well. This guy is a solid blocking TE who also can help out as a receiver. Since we really don't know about the status of Euhus and Campbell, this only strengthens that position for us. Both of these guys seemed to have been drafted to give the Bills more offensive firepower, which is something I believe we all would like to see. For that reason, I'm not too upset at picking them. There are some pretty decent OL still available, especially at center. Jason Brown is the guy I've been touting for a while now (my draftee for the Bills in my early offseason scenarios), and he's still out there. There's also some lesser known, but very good, centers out there like Junius Coston of North Carolina A&T and Rob Hunt of North Dakota State who may come into play later on. One name to watch in terms of OTs (who can also play guard): Claude Terrell of New Mexico. He's more of a RT or a G prospect, but he's a highly regarded prospect the Bills may consider today if he's available at the time of their pick. ******Players to watch for today? Other than the OL I mentioned earlier, there's a few who the Bills could consider and are good value: Marion Barber III, RB, Minnesota I'm just stunned that he hasn't been taken. Along w/ Ryan Moats, JJ Arrington, and Eric Shelton, he's a guy I thought maybe the Bills would take a look at in rounds 3-5. Ernest Shazor, S, Michigan This would be strictly for the future, but Lawyer Milloy isn't getting any younger. This guy could learn from Milloy and eventually be ready to replace him. Think of a younger, slightly bigger Rodney Harrison w/out the cheap shots. Travis Daniels, CB, LSU This would be a great value pick. He needs some time to develop, but has the potential to become a quality starting CB in the NFL. I could name a few more, but the 2nd day has already started and I'm outta here. Okay, that's it. Now, continue to leave me the **** alone while the damn draft is on! See ya.

Don't forget Lock Out and the instant cinematic classic: Cobra.

Frankenstinian? Such cleverish usely of wordery.
