Good , payback for the cheap hit on Hauschka who has not been the same since. I do not trust Greg Williams for a second.

Also the Jarvis Landry hit on Aaron Williams , Gronk hit on Tre , it's frustrating . What goes around comes around someday.

Good grief , a Family Court Judge at that.

I think he's injured , just tell him we had to put a claim for Chase to prevent NE** from getting him. The Bills could be forced to bring in someone depending on how he looks this Sunday.
