Especially if you consider that if it is a top 5 pick a team will have to guarantee tens of millions of dollars to a player who is yet to take a snap in the NFL...yikes!

Actually EVERYONE does not have the dire consequences if a lockout occurs. The owners in the last round of TV contracts put in a stipulation that if there is a lockout they will still be paid $4 billion from the TV networks this year. They don't have to pay the players saleries or benefits but still get paid themselves. That is pretty hefty leverage on their part. The NFLPA did try to have the network money put aside in a trust until all of this is resolved. I think they were unsuccessful in that but I'm not sure. The bottom line is right now if the players do not give in to the owners demands there will almost certainly be a lockout.

Just curious as to why you feel the need to police peoples message board activities...frucking message board police...jeeeeez!

He did say that. Something along the lines that as soon as he didn't show for the voluntary workouts that since there was a new sheriff in town and he should set the example. (Not sure if he meant Nix or Gailey) His opinion was obviously laced with emotion and not very well stated, and backed with emotional drivel. It was an embarrassing moment for him as a columnist.

Do we need an invite? When I go to that link it isn't to a TBD pool.

I'm asking for a little help from my friends! I just left Buffalo and I'm driving across to Syracuse on the 90 then north on the 81 past watertown to Alex Bay. If anyone knows radio stations I can listen to along the way I would appreciate it!

1. If possible watch it live at the Superbowl. If not then with 10-20 of my friends at a bar packed with fans somewhere downtown. 2. No doubt downtown. 3. The fans will never be the same, the city... well 2 days after the parade it will be... We now return to our regular programming.

I just bottled my first batch of wine that my wife and I made. It is a Cabernet Sauvignon, and a very fine one if I may say so myself! We're about to start a batch of Merlot next. We decided that we will probably have to have 3 batches fermenting at a time to maintain our stock. I also enjoy The Knot straight up after I come home from a long day at work.

Week 1 Buffalo vs. Miami WIN Week 2 Buffalo vs. Green Bay WIN Week 3 Buffalo vs. New England Patriots* WIN Week 4 Buffalo vs. NY Jets WIN Week 5 Buffalo vs. Jacksonville Jaguars WIN Week 6 BYE Week 7 Buffalo vs. Baltimore Ravens LOSS Week 8 Buffalo vs. Kansas City Chiefs WIN Week 9 Buffalo vs. Chicago Bears WIN Week 10 Buffalo vs. Detroit Lions WIN Week 11 Buffalo vs. Cincinnati Bengals WIN Week 12 Buffalo vs. Pittsburgh Steelers WIN Week 13 Buffalo vs. Minnesota Vikings LOSS Week 14 Buffalo vs. Cleveland Browns WIN Week 15 Buffalo vs. Miami Dolphins WIN Week 16 Buffalo vs. New England Patriots* WIN Week 17 Buffalo vs. NY Jets LOSS 13-3 baby! I have always played a 13-3 for this contest. It's like a 20 year storm, eventually I'll be right...right??? Besides it's more fun to think about 13-3 than 3-13!

Billsfan=pain = TARRADIDDLE! "You went full retard! Everybody knows you never go full retard!"

If only he was faster perhaps it could be a justified pick at #9! We took the best available player in the 1st round, that to me was very refreshing! I know we need an QB, OT or DT etc... but this kid looks real good! OBD said all along they will not draft purely on need, if the people they had graded high enough at certain positions were not there at #9 they were not going to reach for the next best OT or QB to fill that said position. Good for them that they held on to that thought process for the 9th pick. Obviously they didn't grade any of the QBs, OTs or DTs available worthy of the 9th pick. It seems to me that Nix has been talking about not stretching for a player every chance he can get for the last few months. I think they had a pretty good idea that the OTs they wanted or graded high enough simply were not going to be there when they picked and I think they correctly assumed that Spiller would be there for the taking and counted on this scenerio playing out this way.

I'm watching it on my computer with this feed. http://www.atdhe.net/17906/watch-2010-nfl-draft

Here is one someone posted in the shoutbox earlier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFcecMcS6bA He definately has wheels and he will always be a threat to take it to the house! It should be exciting to see him play for years to come.

If the Bills play at 1pm and lose it seems to take the luster off of football for the rest of the day, so I have enjoyed more football when the Bills have played a later game the last few years! What a depressing reason to prefer a later game!

At least let him try it...don't discourage what is potentially a future youtube cult following!

I have a Buffalo Braves pennant signed by everyone on that team that year. It is proudly displayed on the wall next to the pool table at my parents house!

Fixed. I keep reading here that Lynch was suspended for 4 weeks more and more lately. Have I completely lost my mind or didn't Lynch get a 3 game suspension?

Scary thing is that bad things usually happen when someone's leader is in over their head and about to get their ass whooped... very bad things! I don't see this turning out well for the players. Does this scenario mean there would be no salary cap in place, as is the case in 2010, in 2011 and going forward unless a CBA is reached with the players?

Which would be the case if the Bills were spending to the cap limit which they have not been doing. They have been playing the cash to cap instead saying they have to do so to run this team in a financially responsible manner. Perhaps if they charge more for the seats and they continued to sell out then they would have more money to operate with.

Dude please start breaking up your posts with paragraphs or a blank line between lines or anything but this unreadable crap! I see this I don't even attempt to read it which is a shame because maybe I'm missing out on some good points.

My first compter was the Timex Sinclair 1000. 2K SRAM and 8K ROM, what a beast!

That depends if we do it like they suggest we might..."The Bills' new regime is looking to make a big splash in the draft, so don't be surprised if they trade up to the number one spot to take this kid." I will not be laughing if we use the 9th pick on Williams! I hope we are able to trade down if we don't have a desirable OT left when our pick comes up.

WOW revisionist recollection there buddy! I believe Reed has been in the leauge for 10 seasons and he only had a questionable 2nd year as far as dropped passes goes. He has proven himself as one of the better receivers in the leauge against a zone defense. As far as Hardy goes we have NO IDEA what he is capable of. I do remember that he seemed to disapoint his rookie year with his route running and comprehension of the offense. Last year he was hurt for much of the season and we never had a good look at him.

I think Houston could be eyeing someone like CJ Spiller in a trade up scenario. NYGs are another potential partner in my opinion, again to pick up Spiller.

Isn't that what they said about Brady Quinn amd maybe Aaron Rogers?
