Point is, they are STILL hot, at least hotter than Ron Howard's daughter. Throw Danica Patrick into the mix as well, she didn't make the list, but Ron Howard's daughter did ???
And another...
Orchard Park (AP) - Anthrax Scare At One Bills Drive Sports Complex
Buffalo Bills football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player
reported finding an unknown white powdery substance on the practice field.
Head Coach Mike Mularkey immediately suspended practice while police and
federal investigators were called to investigate.
After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined that the white
substance unknown to the players was the goal line.
Practice was resumed after special agents decided the team
was unlikely to encounter the substance again.

Problem there is that the CBA restricts the amount you can cut a player's salary by from one year to the next. I think its 30%. Even with a 30% cut, its too much money for that fat tub of goo.
My dream offseason in three sentences...
Sign Bentley, Backus, and Big Ted Washington (or Grady Jackson).
Draft Ngata in the 1st, LG in the second, S/RB in the 3rd.
Resign Nate Clements, keep Moulds, cut Mike Williams, Posey and Bennie Anderson.
Why not? Bring him in and take a shot. See if he has anything to offer. Let him compete with KH and JP for the starting spot. Who knows, with a fresh start the talent that made him the #3 pick in 01 may blossom. Worst case scenario, he bombs and you cut him at the end of training camp. I see it as no lose.
Why cut Holcomb? He's decent enough for a backup, can play in a pinch and generally doesn't get rattled. He played 8 games this year, and had one clunker. I agree with bringing in another QB who can play a little, but no reason to cut KH.
We could have an in-his-prime Elway back there and it would make no difference with our line. Lets fix the lines, if JP doesn't develop we'll go QB in 07.
LT & C, but I think LG (Bennie Anderson) not RG, if Villy is healthy he can do the job adequately. Re-sign Nate Clements. DT, Ted Washington or Grady Jackson should be brought in along with drafting Ngata and we'd be fine. Problem is we need someone to coach them on D, which we don't yet have.
Thats a lot of work to be done, BTW.
We're not close till this team improves the OL and gets a DT. Till that happens we're only a bit better than last year, and thats because of addition by subtraction (TD, MM etc.).
If we beat Atlanta that would finish our longerst roadie this year at 4-2...pretty damn good.
I just hope we can avoid Ottawa in the playoffs for a while. That team is the best in hockey, when healthy, and I think it just may be their year.
Still, I love the progress our guys have made. Our team is still so young and I think we're going to be very good for a very long time.
