Why the heck wouldn't we sign him? Zero percent downside.
Oh, I forgot--we need the extra roster space for Joe Klopenstein, as he ping pongs on and off the roster before comfortably settling on IR.

i really hope that hardy or johnson can break out this season...but ive been hoping for that for the past 2 years
haha; me too. count me as one of the many here who have started "we need to start steve johnson" threads.

If we're competing against a Super Bowl contender for Adams' services, maybe this is an issue. Otherwise, money is money. Kind of an unnecessary obnoxious comment by Schefter. He should stick to re-gurgitating what insiders tell him.
Yeah, no kidding. Buffalo and Chicago have pretty much the same chance at winning the Super Bowl next year: 0%

I'd like to see us take a flyer on Tony Pike.

Did just that for our honeymoon this past October. It was amazing. The scenery almost doesn't even look real, it's like a movie set or something. It was very private and very peaceful. The people there are wonderful as well. I've done the Carribean a few times and will be returning this winter, but French Polynesia was in a world of its own. Much less "party" atmosphere and felt very exclusive. It was accordingly very expensive but worth every penny. We fell in love with the place and are already looking to go back for our 5 year!

That water is unreal!!
We pretty much have exhausted almost every place in the Carribbean--though we still love it and still have some places on our to-do list. But French Polynesia is the dream. I think we're just going to pony up and pay top dollar, even though, as you said, it's pretty expensive.

Brown, Saffold or Campbell in the second and Pike in the 3rd would be sweet
i would love that; i think Pike is going to be the best QB in the draft.

Sounds like Nix trying to save face to me.
Either that or he's the best smokescreen blower in the league. It was widely reported yesterday that the Bills were going to get a QB in round 1. It twas widely reported that they were very high on Tebow. The moment Tebow was picked, you had all the inside sources saying Buffalo was heartbroken, crestfallen even.
I'm thinking they got into a bidding war to move up and lost. Denver gave up A LOT to get Tebow. I'm glad they didn't mortgage the draft for one player. But, if you were in his shoes, you'd be trying to save a little face as well.
There's a difference b/w saving face, and telling a bold-faced lie. If that is what happened, I would think Nix would be coy about it, not flat out lie about it.

didn't we try to trade up to get Tebow, but were beat to the punch by the Broncos?
My bad; I just saw Chris Brown's article on BB.com.
Looks like NG-up is truly the man.
-
Dare I flash the bat signal once more and see how we're looking for tonight?
He accurately called that we wouldn't trade up into the back end of the first to go QB, but that we would be looking at QB long and hard at 41. Do we like either of the two big names enough to move up a few spots OR take LeFevour (sp?) in the 3rd round and take a LT or NT at 41?
Furthermore, they have to trade Lynch today, right?

If only the defense could force a punt....

Mike Shanahan is showing the NFL how to build a team that has fallen on hard times and he's proving it with his rebuilding job in DC.
Take note NFL. You don't build a team with DBs and Kickers and WRs like the Raiders like to do. It's refreshing to see a coach fix the real problems rather toy with stupid ideas like "shut down" corners.
The first thing Mike did was fix the QB position: Donovan McNabb and Rex Grossman. Both guys have gone to the Superbowl and I wouldn't be surprised if the Redskins drafted a kid also. McNabb is the starter and Grossman will play if McNabb doesn't do well. They still have Jason Campbell for trade bait and the have a young guy in Colt Brennan.
Mike added Larry Johnson and Willie Parker even though Clinton Portis is a good running back. Plus Mike signed Ryan Torain and I knew he'd do that. I was waiting for it. Torain's only played in one NFL game, but he looked good in his one half of play before he got injured. I wouldn't be surprised if Torain ends up the starter in Washington.
Mike also has PJ Hill, Anthony Alridge and Darrel Young on the roster and Mike will probably take a running back in the draft or have several free agents.
I'm sick of NFL teams not having enough RBs and teams thinking they only need to replace one guy.
As far as the Bills are concerned they need a QB and RBs and hopefully for the Bills fans no DBs.
This is factually suspect.
1) MS was a guy who traded Portis for Champ Bailey, and goes through RB's like they're a dime a dozen.
2) He was known for having notoriously bad defenses, including making idiotic moves to revamp the defense (like trading for the entire Cleveland Browns' defensive line; seems like he's doing something similar in Washington with the Carriker trade).
3) He basically made the wrong move, IMO, in going after Plummer as his veteran QB, and was only able to redeem himself by drafting Cutler after realizing that Plummer wasn't going to be the guy.
By all indications, MS is a good offensive coach, but is terrible as a personnel guy, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. That's why he was fired in Denver.

Seeing as they traded Santonio Holmes for a bag of coal, I bet we could get Roethlisberger for something obscenely low--like a 2nd round pick this year, and a 2nd round pick next year.

EVERY SINGLE GAME Sunday 1pm.
Seriously?
That's awesome!
Football was meant to be played at 1 PM.

**King of Kong was in a trifecta of docs I had been meaning to see. In the last few months I have watched it and Spellbound. Up next, Wordplay.
I thoroughly enjoyed Spellbound, too.
Spellbound is probably my favorite documentary. Wordplay was just average, IMO, but I would check it out.
I want to see Man on Wire.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0923752/
This movie surprised the hell outta me with how good it was. Read the summary from IMDB and if you have Netflix, start watching it.
Believe it or not, I've seen this movie three times. It's so well done, and you cannot script a better story of good versus evil, where the evildoer has a long, flowing mullet, to boot.
I know there is a website out there that takes issue with a bunch of the facts in the movie--but if you look at the website, it's just mostly quibbling over minor details.
(Now, I'm going to have "teenage wasteland" in my head all day!)

It's all about the QB.
If we hit on a franchise QB in the draft, we're right back in the mix.
-
1) Rolando McClain
2) Rodger Saffold
3) Tony Pike

But what I never understood is why they released Thomas Jones. Granted, he didn’t have a great post season. But the guy still ran for over 1400 yards during the regular season. Averaging 4.2 yards a pop. Maybe Ryan knows something the rest of don’t.
Of course, when you have a stud like Greene and then pick up LT to be the back-up, the decision to release Jones--whether or right or wrong--becomes of little consequence.

According to Peter King, the Steelers called the Jets last night and sprung the deal on them, and the Jets accepted right away. So I'm not sure how the Bills "could have had" anything.
That's not what the Steelers' beat writers said. They said that the Steelers talked to several teams last night, and the Jets made them the best offer.

Yeah I've used it on many flights ... problem is that until you board you have no knowledge of whether you will have it. I know American is working towards having it on all flights.
It would be great if these planes had plug/outlets for your laptops, as well. When I flew on a NetsJet charter flight to the west coast, we had outlets and it was great; didn't have to worry about my laptop dying.

I'm no draftnik-- but every time I've seen him play, I'm always left to wonder how in the world could this guy be an NFL QB.
-
I can just picture what these guys said when they got their playbooks.
Edwards: "Coach, this is a lot different."
Gailey: "How do you mean?"
Edwards: "Well, for one, I don't see any of the 3-yard pass plays we used to run. Everything in here seems to be gauged toward moving the ball down the field."
Gailey: "??"
Fitz: "What does this term mean? I think you say it, 'playaction.'"
Brohm: "And what are with the funny arrows pointing toward the middle of the field?"
Gailey: "Uh, that's where the receivers are supposed to run those routes."
(Group Laughter by QB's).
--beat--
Edwards: "The middle of the field. Seriously?"

Interesting that Freddy led all RB's with blown blocks, as well.

I'm not sure why Jim Kelly's opinion matters so much to people. The two people Tim Tebow needs to impress are Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey. Peter King already said Nix loves Tebow, and Gailey comes from a spread background, and had success with Thigpen in KC in 2008 in a spread, 1-read then run offense.
I think Tebow is probably higher on their list than a lot of us would like.
Well said. I like Tebow and hope he does really well in the NFL.
But if Nix loves him and takes him at 9, then it's his head on the block if he busts out.

As you know, I'm a Pens' fan too. But I disagree with you on Geno. For the bad stuff he does (incl taking dumb penalties), he also causes a lot of turnovers and is absolutely crucial for us on the PP. I have a feeling that he's going to explode in this series, esp. if the Habs try to triple-team Crosby like they did with Ovechkin, and Crosby and Geno play on the same line for parts of these games.
I will agree that that defense has been a serious concern. Gologoski sucks; Gonchar looks like he's run out of gas; and Eaton is Eaton.
