You know, I think that was a pretty good draft. Didn't the Bills draft Jeff Wright that year, too?

anyone still have the talking proud video? i only have the mp3 audio

The ad agency exec(Alden Schutte)who created the spot has merged with this group. I'm sure they have it digitized, but I don't they will hand it out. Per the article, the spot was paid for by the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, if you want to try them also.

[Cardinals have to move training camp]

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-c...ov=ap&type=lgns

 

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Arizona Cardinals are moving their training camp from Flagstaff because of a virus outbreak on the Northern Arizona University campus.

 

The team said late Monday afternoon no decision had been made on where the camp will be located. Players are scheduled to gather Sunday, with workouts beginning next Monday.

 

Team officials said they hoped to identify a new training site on Tuesday.

[For you out-of-towners who need your Buffalo]

I'm a big critic of WGR programming, but I give credit, when credit is due....

 

WGR has started an audio archive section on their website containing interviews from the previous days. Right now it is primarily Sabres, but I'm sure with training camp opening that their will be plenty of Bills audio.

PS You have to wade through some of their bad attempts at comedy.

[Anyone have the NFL channels lineup of times..]

I was talking to a friend of mine who is a Pats fan yesterday, and we were talking bills/pats. So I say to him, "what time are the preseason games on the NFL network?". He says to me....I bet it's comforting knowing that the Pats are on in primetime and the Bills are on in the middle of the night.

 

Never thought of it that way and it struck me funny but hope its just the NFL network.

[Peerless not a starter as camp opens]

but i do think, if M. Vick could throw to a WR, many people would think of Price in higher regard.

In addition to Price being better suited as a #2 WR instead of a #1, this is a big part of the reason why Price's numbers are down.

[The girl in the "Talking Proud" spots,]

Anyone have her picture from the original spots of 25 years ago? I ask this because I'm almost positive that some old snaggle-tooth transvestite has abducted her and assumed her identity...

I've been searching on the 'net, but have not found one yet.

[All Time Favorite Bills Moment]

Going on the field after beating Miami for the first time in 10 years was something to remember.

[Can Josh Reed finally get it going?]

At this point in his disappointing career, I am expecting very little out of Reed and expect him to be the 4th or 5th WR at best. Any flashes of brilliance resembling his college days will be a bonus in my eyes.

[Sabres Tickets...]

Regier and Quinn are supposed to be on WGR at 5PM today with Schoop and the Bulldog. Let's see what they have to say regarding palyer signings.

[Time for some Signings to Begin]

I don't have the players in front of me, but I believe that players drafted a few spots before and after Parrish have signed. Hopefully Roscoe's agent will agree to terms(by the end of the week) somewhere between the players already signed

[Country music song identification help...]

female, hmmmm...Collin Raye does a song with that title, but he's obviously a male

389527[/snapback]

I found the Collin Raye version. I wasn't listening very close at the store and the sound was low, but I could swear it was a female singing. Maybe it's middle age playing games with my hearing.

[Country music song identification help...]

I was in a store recently where they were playing a song with the hook "That's my story and I'm sticking to it". It was a country female singer/group and I'm trying to find out who it is that is singing this song. I searched around on the internet, but did not come up with any leads.

 

Any help?

[Kids activities in Buffalo]

Depending on when you will be in Buffalo, you could take in the Erie County Fair. If you can keep the kids out of the midway, there are plenty of things to see and do for free with the gate admission.

[Kids activities in Buffalo]

Niagara Falls area, Devils Hole, or Whirlpool State park, access to the gorge (long walk down the stone carved stairs) as mentoned before.

 

The Naval Museum right behind the Aud, I forget the names of the boats, but tour the ships.

 

Bisons Baseball game, very kid freindly.

If you go to the Naval Park, take a walk through the Erie Basin Marina(it's right next door) before or after. The kids will love walking on the rocks and climbing up the tower at the end of the marina. Grab an ice cream for the kids and a cold beer for dad and you'll be all set.

[Hi, from the new guy!]

Columbus, OH or GA?

Read his signature...

[Just a thought]

I'm prepared to take a few extra loses to develop a balanced attack.

Yeah....who cares about wins and losses as long as the Bills have a balanced attack!

[What Position in What Sport]

How about the #10-12 guys on NBA teams who only see the court during warm-ups...

[Next Years Draft]

i wouldn't be shocked if we picked up two thirds as compensation for losing big pat and jennings........

383960[/snapback]

Keep in mind that the compensatory picks are awarded based on the the performance of players you lost in a given year(JJ & PW) versus players you signed in that same year(Anderson & Holcomb. I'm not sure about Rashard Lee).

[Jack Nicklaus "major" record]

In 1986, he became the oldest player to ever win The Masters. In all, he had 48 top-3 finishes in majors, including 19 second places and nine thirds, 56 top-5 finishes and 73 top-10 finishes. In 1998, at the age of 58 he finished an impressive sixth in The Masters.

 

I'm sure this could be looked upon as "why didn't he win more majors when he was that close". Instead, I look at these stats and am amazed that he could be that competive in the most pressure filled tourneys each and every year.

 

 

WOW!!
