yes, that would be much simpler.

See YOLO's DianaESPN tweets on page 20.

what if he isn't cut until 9/12?

Oh god yes. The game thread and shoutbox will explode. Many of the worst posts will be from people who have responded above that they aren't concerned about Darby.

We have an "extra" roster spot because of Dareus suspension. The Bills could choose to hold on to MC through the cut down day as that extra player. Then on the 12th they cut him and promote someone from the practice squad, resign a player who cleared waivers or sign someone else's castoff. What would that accomplish? It would keep Meh off the market while teams are finalizing their rosters. He doesn't get picked up if he's cut that late. If he was picked up after the first game I think his salary isn't guaranteed? Is that harsh? Yup. Cutting Jackson was harsh to, but, it's business. You make all of this clear to Cassel when you're talking about a new contract. Let him decide. Any chance this plays out?

I'm guessing you were going to quote him, then deleted his post but left the CBF? Matters not, just something that caught my eye! I too would prefer FJ on this team. The Pegula's aren't cheap, they're spending boatload of $$$, but, there is the cap. Cheaper players kept for depth goes on everywhere in the league, but, this was FJ and it hits home.

I must have missed the calling for his head posts. Concern about a rookie CB whose first 2 assignments will be Andrew Luck and tom brady isn't a bad thing.

I don't think you brought money into the equation with your question, you asked what a vet would bring. To answer your new question money is an issue and it plays a huge factor. Hopefully the Bills have already had talks with Cassel's people. "Listen, we'd like to keep Matt on, but, simply cannot at his current salary. Would a restructuring (paycut in this case, not simply moving $$$ from one year to another) be something you would consider? If not, we are in serious talks about cutting you (at the last possible instance). How would Meh respond to that? Don't know. He might be pissed, or he may thank his lucky stars that someone is willing to pay him $2M (pick your #) to hold a clipboard and be inactive on game days.

My guess, send CVM a PM to find out, BTW, really nice guy, but I digress. Just guessing, I'd say that CVM was playfully ceding the regular season post game thread to Bill. It is a staple, and CVM, I guess, was respecting that in a public way. He'll weigh in on that thread I would guess. I guess that those are my thoughts on this.

Can't (within the rules anyway). Compensation is compensation...

I would like to add that the board is a better place because of your participation Bill. Matter of fact, I'd say the same about everyone (outside of Fergy) who has replied to Bill's post. We agree, we disagree, we B word, we moan. We get over it and respect the opinions being offered. The regular season is upon us and it could be the one that breaks the streak. Higher expectations abound. Let's hope that our team is able to get it done...finally.

Thanks Howie. Lucky for us Chef Jim was able to put our dinner on your credit card. All we needed was some personal info which Cletus provided...wonder how he knows all that stuff about you? Are the two of you related, or maybe share a close personal relationship with the same person? Anyway...once we had your CC info the rest was easy. We even got your credit limit raised for you. Again, thanks for a great time.

Can I have your charging Buffaloes? You have 9 and can't take them with you. I promise to give them a good home.

What I see this...last time I...any of those first person words that can help bring a person clarity. Someone who offers advice and is a peer rather than a boss. It works in families, business, sport. Is there any place that it isn't used?

self restraint is the app you're looking for

Online fan on fan violence is already at mid-season form around here. Let's hope the team is too.

Only a Bills fan would say that a rookie CB who had an iffy preseason would be fine against a QB who is among the best out there.

If it came to that my answer would be "C. None of the above."

For reals?

My sources tell me that Rex will have a one line statement: It's on like a MOFO!!

We may share the same wife!

nah, that would be Doug. (Unless Rex has gone rogue)

for a hack he's a pretty good one.

nice ass, by the way.
