Sunday Ticket is far from the only competitive advantage they have. If you like compressed, down-rezzed HD-Lite, then by all means go to dish. I hear the comcrap DVR's are a lot of fun. Try to find as much full time national HD channels (part time RSN's and on demand titles don't count). If you like hockey, can't get NHL Center Ice with Uverse. DirecTV also gives dual feeds of most hockey games, both in HD (sorry again Dish, and cable, and Uverse). I could go on. Sunday Ticket just really solidifies their leadership. Maybe those things aren't important to you. By all means, leave. Or just pay and shut up.

It won't be the death knell of DirecTV like some of the haters are hoping. Of course they make money having it (not so much off the package, but the extra subscribers it brings), but they will carry on if they don't. Honestly, people who get so worked up over their TV provider should just leave if it makes them so unhappy. A lot find the grass on the other side isn't always greener.

DirecTV has over 18 million customers. Do you know how many subscribe to the Sunday Ticket package? Let's just say they won't go out of business if they ever lose the ticket.

I don't have a link, but TRUST me, it's true.

For what it's worth, this info might help people. The auto-renewal price is $299 this year, and that includes HD. No more superfan this year. Last year it was like $270 plus another $99 for HD.

I like that idea, although I'm not sure a 5th would be necessary. Any scenario where we could turn Lynch into a starting LT for us is a good move.

Booze 'n Post is a time honored tradition around here. Rarely is a follow up apology made. Kudos to OP, and CBiscuit, well, you're coming off worse than the original booze 'n poster.

Riiiiiiiiiight.......went from 360 to 315. We want our NT svelte

Guess you haven't heard of a little thing called leverage. And Marshawn has none, whereas JP had plenty. We've already got 2 players on the roster who can step in and fill the void, and ML has 3 years left on his contract. He ain't going nowhere. Funny thing is, if he wants to be moved, his best bet would be to show up and help the team. But, no one ever accused ML of being smart.

Sorry Marshawn, but you have ZERO leverage and you're not going to Jason Peters your way out of here. You wanna wither away on the bench for the next 3 years, your choice. We have ample replacements for you already on the roster. You wanna wise up and start helping this team, just maybe then you'll have enough value to get your wish outta town.

Kirk Chambers over Jamon Meredith?

I'll give you props for providing some good links with some good information. I was going off Nawrocki's rankings, which had him as the #22 tackle, consistent with most of the reports you linked (Calloway was ranked #12). All I'm saying is I wouldn't expect him to come in and start, at any point, during his rookie season, as some others have projected him. As for Gaither being a 5th rounder, you have to remember that was with the supplemental draft. That's actually how I see the longer term interior lineup playing out.

Whoa, hold on there. Where was Wang rated that highly? If anything, he was rated lower, and the Bills had to reach to ensure they at least got a tackle at that point. For example, Kyle Calloway who was drafted in the 7th was rated much, much higher than Wang as a tackle. Ed Wang is a project. Anyone expecting any more from him his 1st year is likely to be very disappointed.

Wow, now our rookie pro bowler and runner up DROY must go. Cool, maybe we can start drafting DB's again next year.

The short sightedness and need for immediate gratification of some never ceases to amaze me. It was also reported that a trade for Gaither probably wouldn't take place until much closer to the season. We're in May.

YES, the squeal sent me over the top! It's not a comedy, but I never laughed so hard during a 24 epiode.

Was I the only one LMAO watching his facial expressions and hearing him scream and whimper like a little schoolgirl? Hilarious!

It's more than just JP. His premise is that ANY player can crap all over the town as long as he produces on the field. I just don't buy it, and for me personally I would not be able to bring myself to root for the guy who is badmouthing Buffalo. And its been played out in many NFL towns that when you cross that boundary as a player, the fans are very unforgiving. So yeah, plenty of people give a F!

I think it means quite a bit. I would find it hard rooting for a guy on my team who openly despised the town he represents. Just ask any number of pro athletes who ran afoul of their hometown teams fans - it didn't play out well for them, so it obviously matters.

I know there are some who hang on national media perceptions, so here's an artice that by exclusion actually compliments Buffalo. Where's the respect?! http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/l...ng-cities_N.htm

It doesn't have to be Gaither. Jammal Brown would be just fine. We'll all be eating something if we don't address LT this year, and outside of Bell who's in the middle of ACL rehab, where else do we get help from? (and please don't say Wang).

Yet another one to be filed away for future hilarity when proved wrong.

Yes, I believe it matters. I fully expect a move at LT around the beginning of training camp.

Was Leonidas behind this?

For those who place any stock in Nawrocki's rankings, he had Coleman ranked above our 6th rounder Batten.
