[Mr. Wilson And Jerry Jones]

Actually, Jones is in some financial trouble (at least that's what we hear around Dallas).

[Dolphins waive former #1 draft pick,LB Bobby Carpenter]

The bum is a "finesse" LB. That translates to "can't tackle" - do we need that? The only reason he got drafted by Dallas and then played in Miami? Common link - Bill Parcells - who loved his dad on the Giants.

 

Move on. Nothing to see here.

[Wilson speaks]

Did you buy him the earlybird special? I think it's half-price.

[This guy is the man]

On my honeymoon in Maui almost 7 years ago, heard a bunch of IZ and other "Jawaiian" music (as they called it).

 

Kept hearing this song while driving around Maui...

 

 

if the acoustic version doesn't work...here's the record version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grSK_ByKTlQ

[Puzzle of the Day]

592?

 

Sides 1&3 = 18x8 = 144x2 = 288

Sides 2&4 = 16x8 = 128x2 = 256

Short sides = 4x6 = 24x2 = 48

 

sum = 592

 

Seems high.

[Nawrocki predicts Spiller]

Hope you got your 20 down...if gambling were legal

[Nawrocki predicts Spiller]

if you believe the prediction, Spiller @ #9 is available for a bet at 30-1 on a .com sportsbook site

[First round predictions!]

my bills-related predictions:

 

1) Trent WIlliams - #4, Okung #5, Anthony Davis #8

2) CJ Spiller will go #9, but it might not be to Buffalo (30-1 odds if gambling were legal)

[Flying back to America]

nope just stick with Expedia...(my wonderful employer).

 

The limitation with the airline websites is that a traveler can save money by booking multiple airlines. That's the advantage of the online travel agency.

[Saints tender LT Jermon Bushrod at 2nd round level]

If you read through the other positions, you'd trust their stats. they have George Wilson as the #4 safety (Donte is in the 60s). Also Freddie is WAY ahead of Marshawn.

[Floyd Little - HOF?]

I look at the HOF this way...do kids want to be X player when they grow up?

 

I've barely heard of Floyd Little and doubt that kids of that era (including myself) ever said "I want to run like Floyd Little when I grow up."

 

The HOF pulls favors all the time. I remember discussion in Dallas around Rayfield Wright getting into the HOF and how deserving he was...I never heard of him until his name came up in HOF talks. It reeks of cronyism.

[Are we looking at someone on the Colts/Saints?]

Jon Tenuta???

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Tenuta

[[please fix subject]Tim Graham thinks Gailey flamed out 10 years ago..]

sloppy writing...Tony Romo got Chan Gailey fired???? Tony was in college.

[What will make you renew the NFL Sunday ticket next year]

Even though I saved a bunch of money on the sunday ticket last year (thanks to tbd), I've decided that I'm out. After 12 years of loyal DTV and Sunday Ticket viewing, I just can't commit to 16-17 Sundays a year.

 

I'm getting AT&T U-Verse installed next week and will watch the red zone channel when I can. If DTV wants me back, they know how to get in touch.

[ESPN Fantasy Projection: Chris Johnson -- 37pts!]

I'm just glad I have CJ in both of my $ fantasy leagues!

[Help with Hotels in Downtown Buffalo]

suggestion: try hotwire as well - they've been dark in terms of marketing for the past few months, but I can assure you they get great deals!

[Bills try out QB Patrick Ramsey]

I've always liked Ramsey as well.

 

On a personal note, my wife and I had a chance to interview a bunch of rookies in 2003 (including Mike Williams and Josh Reed). Ramsey was one of our favorites. He was kind, personable and thanked her for the interview, which he didn't have to do.

[Do you approve of Dick Jauron]

I also voted "yes" for Wade Phillips...just to make our Dick look worse!

[Can any team including the]

The Bills can't sign him to a non-guaranteed contract until AFTER they play tonight. Other teams can sign him now (if they choose).
