Oldie for all Sabre fans from the '70's... http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vau.../8320/index.htm

You want to let Evans go because we drafted a 6'2" WR in the 7th round? Brilliant!

I think the key point to take from the linked article is "The Browns want to find a CB with experience". How exactly does Youboty fit into the equation?

If you believe this is the first time a player is outperforming his contract, you are dreaming. I'm not even going to bother to provide examples except to say it happens all the time. Should Peters have his contract renegotiated in the next year or two? Absolutely! Does it have to happen ASAP? I don't see what the urgent need is. Put another solid year together and then go see Brandon? He is three years removed from being a converted TE who nobody was even sure was going to make the roster. Then he got a brand spanking new contract less than two years ago. If they give him a new contract now and he makes 1st team all-pro this year, do they rip it up again?

The only reason WGR morning drive has become a joke is because of Jeremy "I'd rather try to be funny(with try being the key word) or talk about other things than sports" White. Not to mention that White is an air-time hog. It is the HOWARD SIMON SHOW, not the Howard and Jeremy show or the Jeremy White show.

Ralph knows that if he does not take any measures NOW to ensure that the team remains in Buffalo after his death, the team will go to the high bidder and that won't be anyone willing to keep the team in Buffalo. F*** Ralph and F*** his chances of going to the HoF. If this is what he wants his legacy to be, then so be it.

If this was the case, wouldn't the coaching staff come out and say that he is excused from the OTA's due to injury?

Based on what? The 500 people that show up at Holland or Lancaster Speedway?

Except for the fact that Schoop wasn't such a douche on WNSA when it was "sports talk for smart people". I guess it just gives further credence to the fact that it's nothing more than an act which is directed by the WGR PD. Either that or Schoop is going through menopause.

Hopefully Hardy pays close attention during this rookie symposium(the article references the 2007 symposium, but you get the picture)... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?i...ce=NFLHeadlines

There is a brand new course that opened up last year off Southwestern Blvd. about 10 minutes from RWS. I'm not much of a golfer and haven't played there, but I here it is a nice course. http://www.harvesthillgc.com/

Don't worry about it. Nice wrap up. Like I said, Johnny quit the reviews a couple of seasons back.

I only have one thing to add. AI is not the same without Johnny Coli's weekly reviews from a couple seasons back.

Don't get me wrong. I agree with everything you posted. I justed wanted to clarify the areas you are talking about.

That is not the small boat harbor you are talking about. It is the Erie Basin Marina. The small boat harbor is just south of the proposed Freezer Queen development(see center of linked image). http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=U...mp;t=h&z=15

...and how is this "nasty" weather at the freezer queen location different from the weather by the condos at the waters edge adjacent to the Erie Basin Marina, that are so popular that they are building a new tower? It's not Antarctica and you're not living in a teepee, so stop with the dramatization.

Simple...guys like Kiper & Mayock rank all the players before the draft and then hand out post-draft grades based on how teams drafted versus where they had them in their rankings. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm not sure why guys like Kiper and Mayock get ripped so much. The other talking heads that participate in the draft coverage who should be shown the door are guys like Keyshawn, Mort, Jamie Dukes, etc... Do you really believe that these folks put in the same number of hours that a Kiper or Mayock do? The draft when it was Kiper and Berman with the occasional cut to the studio or for an interview was much better than the 5 person sets that both the NFL Network and ESPN are now using. The draft shows now follow the philosophy of the pregame shows...throw 4 or 5 people on a set and have them all talk over each other and yuck it up.

Bottom line...The Bills can't afford to "miss" on picks in the 1st 3 rounds as they continue to struggle with breaking out of this 10 year period of mediocrity. If McKelvin & Hardy turn out to be productive starters and Ellis can become an effective situational pass rusher(at the very least),the draft should be considered a success. It's icing on the cake if any of the remaining picks turn out to be anything more than career backups.

4 more picks.

How much you want to bet?

Bowen is a 220 lb LB? Oh goody...another Coy Wire who can be converted to safety and then suck because it isn't his natural position.

Is Duke Preston really better than I think?

I'd be disappointed if the Bills didn't take a flyer on Justice or Sullivan this round. Fowler is nothing special and Preston is a disaster.
