he probably fumbled it away

just saw this online: "Mallet came in at 6'6" and 6/8 and weighed 253 pounds. Bunting wrote he "had a bad body, looked soft"." http://kansascity.sbnation.com/missouri-tigers/2011/2/25/2014918/2011-nfl-combine-blaine-gabbert-weigh-in 253? his playing weight last year was < 240. the downward spiral continues

Does Aaron Maybin have what it takes to become one of the NFL UFL’s premier defensive players?

http://www.wgrz.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=109550 "BUFFALO, NY-- Erie County Executive Chris Collins says he's confident that the county and state can reach a new lease agreement with the Buffalo Bills, although he adds a new lease could include one additional game per season in Toronto. As part of the current lease, the Bills will spend $2.8 million on upkeep at the stadium, which this year will include new turf. The team's lease with the county expires in the summer of 2013. "I'm firmly convinced they will remain the 'Buffalo Bills,'" said Collins. Collins believes the Bills and the NFL have a good thing going in Western New York, with a stadium that's paid off and in good shape, and fans that continually support the team despite its bumbles, stumbles and fumbles. Scott Brown: "Have you begun talks with the Bills?" County Executive Collins: "I've had preliminary discussions, absolutely." Collins says he and the Bills have agreed that serious negotiations won't begin until the league and the players' union come to a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, something which could still be months away."

1. any state that has actual sports talk radio.

When I was listening to it live, I thought he said 4 or 5 guys away from etc..... but i was driving, and he was on the phone over the radio, so who knows.

Did anyone hear the Shawn Merriman interview on WGR this morning? I was driving, so I can’t provide a verbatim report, but I am sure it will be on their website soon if not already. I found him refreshingly honest. He admitted Buffalo was not his first choice when he was cut loose from SD, but that watching the team in the second half convinced him that the team was not far from a winning team. He also said he has faith in Nix in terms of the draft and acquiring talent. (I guess you would expect him to say these things). He will be 100% ready for training camp and seemed to say that the Bills training staff found something that other teams trainers had missed regarding his Achilles. Asked if he would play with a chip on his shoulder because of the doubts he has heard about his coming back, he stated that he always plays with a chip on his shoulder – so many chips that he should get a Doritos endorsement deal. The most interesting thing to me was when he was asked if he would get involved with contacting other potential free agents about coming to Buffalo, and he responded to the effect that “What makes you think I haven’t already?”

bump!

I hope he's not waiting for a huge public outcry over his potential leaving.

I agree with this 100%. As difficult as it is to watch, you owe it to your pet to be there at that moment to lessen their fear.

Under Stevens Brady's plan, fans would loan money to the next owner of the Buffalo Bills by purchasing low-interest bonds -- called Bills Bonds -- that would reduce a new owner's often-choking interest payments..............."

SI had a good article recently about who is really against a playoff system -- http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1177192/index.htm

The Sabres are denying it, of course. I can only pray that it is true.

what do you guys think of the wider hash marks in college? they make short field goals more of a challenge because of the angle

I like the college rule of pausing the clock on a first down to move the chains. This helps prevent defensive players from trying to kill the clock by stalling, not unpiling form a tackle, etc.

good riddance. the sooner we shed the roster of past mistakes, the better

he'll carry the load

so a comment on someone's Facebook page was then "tweeted" by a radio station? ah, modern journalism!

+1 how this guy remains employed given our drafting history is a mystery.

the airmchair scout's work is never done. Jake Locker and Washington are being shown on ABC - at least here in WNY

a healthy dose of masochism helps

what do you think the point spread will be? bills +14?
