Somebody honestly had to do a "study" to figure this out?
It's common sense. Lol.

She grew up and met an airbrush.
Still better looking than 95% of women in Western, NY...especially any and all Buffalo Bills cheerleaders, by a longshot. (Well, when they had them anyways.)

This is exactly what I want and need to do with my life.
I played, I coached, I scouted for high school and D-3, I'm 31 years old, single, with no kids.
I'd give anything to be a scout (or coach again), at any level of football...just to be around the game again.
(I played high school football with Ryan Poles, who is now a scout for the Kansas City Chiefs. He protected Matt Ryan at BC.)
I wish I knew about this sooner, but I'm absolutely setting money aside from my DJ side gigs to do this next year, without a doubt.
Thank you for posting this.
EDIT: I saw the $1500 and didn't think it was too bad...but $550 to possibly get a foot in the door of a dream career? That's nothing.

As a fan, what should matter is the product on the field. And it has sucked since 2009.
You missed the 10 years prior to 2009. Lol.

Anybody else think that Nigel was possibly picking up and/or delivering that weed to Kiko last year?
Other teams can claim players off IR?
Only if they are waived with the designated "waived-injured" label, or whatever.
Here you go, this should help a little bit...
http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Injured-Reserve-rules-need-an-overhaul.html
Waived/Injured: When a team waives an injured player any other team may claim him. If a player clears waivers the player is immediately reverted to IR or the team will negotiate an injury settlement to allow the player to pursue other opportunities with another club.That is NOT happening with Kiko Alonso, for any reason...so, no need to worry about that.
One reason IR rules became so rigid over the years is that teams like the Raiders and Redskins in the 80’s used it to hide young talent.This is what the 49ers do with a lot of young players...Skov, Lattimore, Thomas, Acker, Reaser, etc.

"We're not South Beach, we're not even Myrtle Beach."
No, Buffalo, no you're not...but you know what? I left Myrtle Beach to come to Buffalo.
And I could go on and on about why I chose to do so, but the bottom line is...I wanted to.
(It didn't happen overnight like I had hoped it would, I had to make a brief detour in my hometown of Canandaigua, out in the Finger Lakes...but after getting my life back together, I am proud to say I'll be making the move out to Buffalo in the spring of 2015, after I finish my college degree I started so long ago...and I couldn't be happier about the decision to come back here and do this.)
-
I really wouldn't expect this to be an issue for the Buffalo Bills and their fans for quite a while now.
-
This is the best-case possible scenario...either get on board, or find another team to root for.
The team is staying, that is all that should matter. But, Terry Pegula will do right by the fans of Buffalo, with both teams...as priority #1 is to win. He has plenty of money, this is not a business move to make more money...this is to win a Super Bowl.
That is the bottom line, and all that should matter right now, today.
"If I want to make some money, I'll go drill a gas well." - Terry Pegula
(On whether he'll spend to the player salary cap, "We'll put the pedal to the metal as capably as we can," he said. "I don't know if it's wise to spend to the cap every year. But we're not in this to save money, that's for sure.")
As someone else pointed out, this is worth a read today...

I'm fine with some stubborn optimism in the media.
The media and fan reaction to some preseason practice scrimmages has been negatively over-the-top.
Balance it out a little.
The fan reaction is negatively over-the-top?
Um, we have witnessed 14 straight years of absolutely pitiful and pathetic football.
The Bills offense failed to show ANYTHING this pre-season, and good football teams don't do that.
Good football teams also don't "hold back the playbook"...or start an undrafted WR, who couldn't catch on with 3 other WR-needy teams, over a former 2nd round pick, who was "the most NFL-ready WR" in his draft class.
Here's a few more things good football teams don't do...
1. Completely decimate a pretty good offensive-line, for one position.
2. Use 3 roster spots on kickers/punters...or use a draft pick on a kicker and not let him compete for the job.
3. Take a player like Marquise Goodwin off kickoffs to "keep him healthy," and put another player like CJ Spiller in there and say, "what's the risk, players don't get hurt on kickoffs." (Talk about contradicting yourself.)
4. Go through damn near the entire free agent list of quarterbacks within 12 months...and then...
5. Sign a Kyle Orton-type backup to a $5.5 million dollar contract, as a backup.
Doug Marrone was considered a good NFL head coach candidate because he "turned around Syracuse" with a 25-25 record...which makes me wonder what the hell a "turnaround" is in sports these days? (That's like saying Jauron/Gailey turned around the Bills.)
I'm alright with giving up on TJ Graham, or cutting Alan Branch...good teams DO make THOSE moves sometimes.
It's the other stuff that is absolutely completely mind-blowing...this is the best football team we have seen on that field in a very long time, and these fools are going to completely screw it up, yet again. (Whaley has done a good job turning over the roster though.)
So, please help me understand how we are expected to act like everything is alright? I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of defending this team, over and over again, to be made out to look like a complete fool.

Be sure to read the fine print before you buy a bunch of watered down beer for a Bills replica jersey that might not fit.
"The item available in this offer is one (1) Buffalo Bills replica jersey, size selected by Sponsor at its sole discretion." -
I have two of them...
1.) I think the Bills will have a top-3 defense, and the LB corps will be the biggest part of that.
2.) I think that CJ Spiller and Jerry Hughes make the Pro-Bowl...among others after it's all said and done.
BONUS: Sticking with my gut...Seantrel Henderson and Nigel Bradham will secure starting jobs moving into 2015.
(I would have said, 'Sammy Watkins wins Rookie of the Year,' but I didn't think that was very "bold?")
-
Whaley topped it off by bringing in Orton at the eleventh hour proving this is a front office serious about winning.
I became dumbfounded with this comment...waiting until a week before the season opener, to find a competent backup QB, to your unstable "franchise" starting QB...proves how serious a front office is about winning???
That move should have been made weeks ago, not with a week to go...it actually should have been made months ago.
And it is because of this exact reason that the team is not being taken seriously by much of anyone right now. EJ Manuel has not shown much progression in his development, and Kyle Orton lost his last starting job to Tim Tebow.
I am as skeptical as I think I have ever been...they REALLY need to go out and make a statement in a week.
(I do think this is a playoff-caliber team...*IF* the QB play is at least middle-of-the-pack.)
-
If this is true...in the 2015 draft, I think we can bet on the Bills drafting one of...
- Todd Gurley: 6-1, 226 lbs (my choice)
- Melvin Gordon: 6-1, 213 lbs
- TJ Yeldon: 6-2, 221 lbs
And if history means anything lately, they should all be available in the 2nd round...so maybe grabbing a 2nd for Spiller would work.
(I do not advocate trading Spiller, especially if they expect to make a run at the playoffs...but if he's going to walk, you need to get something for him.)
Absolutely not...plus, Spiller is not the kind of RB the 49ers seem to like...Gore, Lattimore and Hyde are all pretty big backs.
(The Saints would be a perfect spot for CJ Spiller...even the Rams or the Cardinals.)
Whether CJ is traded or not now, I highly doubt we have any chance at Todd Gurley in the 2nd round.
This could be the year the trend breaks with no RB's going in the 1st round...Gurley is THAT good.
(And I know it's only 1 game, but many others have said the same thing...he's too good to be a 2nd round pick.)
-
Being he is our first round QB, and our only hope for being competitive this year...I think it's safe to say that everyone here is "rooting" for EJ Manuel. Do we believe in him? That's another question and another story.
But, there is absolutely zero doubt that everyone here is "rooting" for the kid to succeed.
We have no other choice at the moment.
(My main gripe with him is that he does not have that "killer instinct" that the best QB's, and best players, have. He seems like too nice of a guy. Can anyone picture him getting in DJ Swearinger's face like Peyton did? I can't.)
EDIT: And I say "only hope" because without him being at least average, we have no chance IMO.
-
All the reports and inside information I have read said Whaley picked EJ. Buddy picking EJ would be nonsense.
That's what this report says.
Um, what just happened?
-
I will admit when I am wrong, and I was wrong about Chris Hogan (I think)...but, I remain sold on Bradham having a "breakout" year.
And after seeing him in this defense...there is absolutely zero doubt that he fills in for Kiko Alonso just fine.
Posted 23 June 2014 - 06:48 PMHe's not quite there yet, but I think he takes a big step forward this year...and down the road could become that type of guy.
So, going against the popular opinion here...I'll say Nigel Bradham.
Posted 04 July 2014 - 07:21 PMJust the same, someone will step up for the injured ALONSO...most likely being Bradham, who was rated higher and had better measurables than Kiko, coming out of the combine and into their respective drafts. Nigel Bradham was one of the highest rated linebackers coming out of high school and he ended up starting games at Florida State as a true freshman, I believe. I know he at least played in 13 games as a true freshman. He can run like a gazelle and hit like a mack truck, and he is not as big a liability in coverage as many think. He is a perfect 4-3 OLB and nearing a contract year. (He was rated very highly by PFF last year.)
Posted 05 July 2014 - 06:11 PMWhy are people wanting Preston Brown to be an OLB? He is 6-1, 261 lbs, and has been a MLB his entire life...he is not an OLB.
Nigel Bradham, Ty Powell or Manny Lawson will man the vacant spot opposite Keith Rivers.
Read these and please explain why you think Preston Brown should be the OLB, and not Nigel Bradham?
Preston Brown combine report - http://www.nfl.com/c...rown?id=2543814
Nigel Bradham combine report - http://www.nfl.com/c...dham?id=2532800
Conclusion?
Nigel Bradham is much more suited to be an OLB who can cover space, and Preston Brown is much more suited to be a MLB who plays in the box.
Posted 08 July 2014 - 10:03 AMI do expect the light to go on, if it hasn't already. He is the prototypical OLB and has a chance to earn himself a starting role, not only this year, but the other OLB spot is still up for grabs for the future, as Keith Rivers is not a long-term solution.
He honestly reminds me of one of my all-time favorite college players, Vontaze Burfict...but a tad bit bigger, and much faster.
(Man, I would LOVE to have a LB corps of Bradham - Spikes/Burfict - Alonso...that would be incredible.)
Anyways...I think he steps out this year in a big way, I honestly do...and I think we start to see it in training camp.
But, the coaching staff NEEDS to give him a fair shot...Preston Brown should NOT be an OLB ahead of Nigel Bradham, in ANY scenario. If they give him a chance and a decent amount of starter's reps in camp, I have no doubt that this kid will take the opportunity and run with it. He also reminds me of a former Schwartz OLB, in Deandre Levy...a little bigger, very athletic, good speed, decent in coverage, takes on blockers, etc.
It all comes down to how he performs in camp and how the coaching staff uses him...but no doubt, it's his time to shine or bust.

In one season, Marquise Goodwin has already put up nearly half the touchdowns Roscoe Parrish did in his career.
Goodwin had 3 last year alone, Parrish has 7 in his entire career.
-
Of course he's a great pass rusher, but I thought your point was to put forth the idea that Mario Williams sucks against the run and we could just give Hughes half as much (which wouldn't be enough if he has a monster year) to get the same production.
GO BILLS!!!
AS A PASS-RUSHER.
Not once did I say "Mario Williams sucks against the run."
I said the run defense has sucked since before he arrived, and if he was so good, why hasn't it improved?
Quite a big difference.
-
There's a little thing called a salary cap. You can't just sign everybody to mega-contacts.
No kidding...please point out where I said they had to sign him to a "mega-contract?" (Hint: I didn't.)
I actually said quite the opposite.
Somehow, the great teams all find ways to keep their best players. Seattle could let someone like Chris Clemons go, because they had someone waiting in the wings to replace him. Buffalo does not have that replacement waiting for Hughes to walk away.
THAT is the problem here.
-
This is simply not true. I can count on less than one hand all the times MW has not controlled his corner. He's a technical marvel at the position. The problems we've had against the run can be attributed to piss poor LB play more than any other factor. It's why we've turned that group over several years in a row now.
GO BILLS!!!
I can agree with the fact he is decent in containment...but he is a pass-rusher first and foremost.
That was my point from the get-go.
It's a lot easier to replace a run-stuffing big man, than it is to replace an elite pass-rusher.
Bottom line is...we need to get to Tom Brady, in order to beat the Patriots.
We need to beat the Patriots in order to win the division, or even have a sniff at the playoffs.
Without getting to Tom Brady, none of that happens...especially without elite pass-rushers.
Look at the Giants when they won the Super Bowl with those defensive lines.
And obviously Stevie and Sammy aren't the same...but Stevie was the defacto "#1 WR," now Sammy is.
-
while he is speculating, he is also the mouthpiece of the bills in the media. I assume he is very calculated about what he puts out there.
mario is very good against the run.
Yet, our run defense has been atrocious since before he got here...and he did nothing to fix it.
-
So the production of a DE is measured in sacks? Can't disagree more. Mario Williams is the best player on our team; nobody plays their position as well. I like Hughes a lot, but he doesn't bring the all-around game that Mario does.
GO BILLS!!!
A pass-rushing defensive end? Yes, absolutely, and that is what I was referring to, as I said.
Clearly, Mario doesn't defend the run very well...nor does anybody on that defensive line. (Or, the defense, for that matter.)
-
This year they had to replace Byrd and Stevie...next year it could be Hughes and Spiller?
They could probably sign him for half the money of Mario, and get the same production or more.
You cannot keep letting guys go, and drafting their replacements every year, it has gotten them nowhere. Instead of trading Stevie and drafting his replacement, they could have drafted a pass-rusher and kept Stevie.
So, now...they go into next year already having to spend a draft pick on a replacement player.
I just cannot wrap my head around it.
-
"Sequined Menace?" What else could that POSSIBLY mean...and/or how is that "misrepresented," as it is presented here EXACTLY how you put it. It's pretty clear. Especially after posting the article about the kid and his decision.
No response? Exactly what I thought.

Thanks Doug Marrone, Nate Hackett and EJ Manuel for failing to throw a pass for anything over 3-8 yards.
EDIT: Marquise Goodwin is the next one who will be a 3rd round "bust."
