I still don't buy the entire Polian to much lifting thing. There's got to be more to that whole story IMO. I think he tried to get ahead of himself, rumored to bringing in AJ Smith, etc, where TP told him, hold on, I just asked you to come in and consult. I also wonder if Whaley's comments means a restructure is very close??

Even through X-box, I believe you're still getting the streaming ST package which to legally qualify, you have to not be able to get ST via DTV. I had the streaming package one year, think it was the first year it was available, maybe it's improved since, but at the time wasn't overly impressed. Signal quality wasn't the best, couldn't pause rewind, etc. The "buttons" were there on the screen, but pressing them did nothing. It may have been they had hoped to have this functionality working, but didn't get there in time. Maybe by now is working. You couldn't watch 4 games at once in full screen so you'd end up with about a 2" sized screen for each game. To qualify for the streaming package, they asked you three questions (at least at that time) Do you currently have DTV? Can you get DTV? Have you ever had DTV at this address? I think they do look up the address to determine if there was ever a DTV subscription at the address you are giving, If there was even through a prior owner, you're probably out of luck. Likewsie pretty easy for them to know if you currently have it. Can you get DTV, well that's an easy one to get around as get is a somewhat subjective term.

Not exactly living up to your name!!

Was there some recent article that stated this as fact or at a minimum supported this theory, or is this just more speculation based on the original speculation?

Between expansion fees and wouldn't he also get a a boat load of money for someone "invading his turf", he may figure a football team in Toronto is doomed to fail long term, so he'll be ahead of the game with the upfront money. While there's a ton of people up there, unless they start playing football on skates, it's not going to be that big a draw, plus you have the CFL on top of it. Maybe it wouldn't fail but he may figure the upfront cash he'll get will exceed lost revenue from people up there no longer coming to Buffalo. It's possible he's just saying that to be politically correct, but knows, there's not enough interest up there, again due to the CFL and hockey

Wouldn't thought Yoloin would have fell for it. He's been around long enough, he should know better.

Easter is late that year, so still a few weeks till Carnival time.

Love it then goodbye DTV, cut the cable and save $50 a month. I'd go for it. Two things keep me in "plugged in" sports stations like ESPN and ST. This new thing, Sling TV is a way for $20 a month to get streaming ESPN without a cable connection. Only thing left to keep me from cutting the cord completely would be ST. If the Bills start doing well, more national games, less need for ST then too. A friend of mine who's a Steeler's fan gave it as the year prior 11 out of 16 of their games were on some form of network TV

I'm thinking JR was just trying to humor the OP!!

Will Michael Sam attend or is he too busy dancing?

Question here to ask. Often when players are franchised, they don't sign the tag, refuse to report to all offseason activities, camp, pre-season and often only report by the week 10 deadline. In the case of Clay with the transition tag, if Miami had matched the contract, would Clay have then been considered under contract and be obligated to attend all these functions, or be at risk to being fined?? Could it have been Clay to Miami, "I want out, if you match the offer, I won't report and will be a malcontent"? Could that be why Miami quickly declined to match as they knew it wasn't going to end well, so wanted to move on to other potential signings

Anyone know if the O-line coach of the Bills' was already with the Bears whe nChriss Williams played there? If so could be that the coach is stating I know how to use him and make him look good. Or did that coach come in and get rid of him, if so doesn't bode well for him here then

But that's just throwing away draft picks. You have four starters from last year plus Richie. Backups of Kujo, Richardson, Urbik. That's eight so room for one more player to make roster, assuming they cut Williams. You binr in more than one in the draft and likely someone else is getting cut. Until you know one of these rookies for certain isn't going to work out, should keep them. If you keep drafting players, and trhen the next year draft his replacement, you'll never get ahead.

I think we still sign a guard in FA, draft LB or safety first

Is that good or would it be better to not be able to re-negotiate over the first two years as that would also prevent Miami from doing anything, thus assuring they are stuck with this large cap hit for two season?

I wonder if the Bills went to Urbik and Williams and told them who ever gives us the best offer first, we'll go with, the other one, no promises as to what happens??

Could be that Clay is telling Miami, you want to get a long term contract, first remove the tag so I can gauge my true worth, then we'll talk. But Miami knows once they do that, they will price themselves out of the market very quickly, so instead are keeping the tag on, and are offering a somewhat low long term contract, but Clays isn't biting on it, not since he knows the Bills at some point are going to offer him more. Maybe other teams wouldn't want to play that much as he's not atypical TE, but in Romans offense he's a perfect match so the Bills are willing to pay more than many others are willing.

Think it's going to be the center for the Bears, can't recall the name, but he's been mentioned a couple of times??

I'd argue the guards were a worse than average, but I agree with your overall thought that all we need is one more piece to play guard and likely they'll be improvement with Richardson and Kujo from last year. I don't get all this sudden Henderson hating. All season rarely heard anyone complaining about him, now suddenly he seems to suck according to many here.

I said that half kidding, but I did think the people here who were going nuts because they kept him (and RB) were way off base. They weren't the problem, the problem was working withing the budget that RW and even more Littman set. Now they have a real budget to work with.

This could be the second time this week Miami's FO panicked according to this http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/jordan-camerons-agents-manipulated-media-to-get-dolphins-contract/ar-AA9MHp8#page=1

Who you kidding, it's Overdolf!!

Is "soon" longer or shorter than today or tomorrow??

Can you own two threads in the same city?

Trying to figure out why everyone is saying the Jet's won the FA battle in the AFC East? Granted they have a good #1 WR now and Revis, where else are they improved? Seemed last season they had many holes
