And people were screaming for the Bill's to cut him to when he was here. TD will cut Lindell the second HE feels has a better option.

Yes, he might be better than Haddad, but unless he's willing to sign for the minimum, why pay anymore than that for a person who'll be the backup once Parrish returns. And even if you sign him for the same as, lets say Reed, you still get hit with any signing bonuse left on Reed's contract. You can't afford high paid backups and be successful.

I think there have three QB's inc Matthews. From what I read Jerman may make team over McFarland. I think one less WR and one more fullback likely Burns. One thing I read today too is they could dump Dorenbus and go with Preston as long snapper. He snapped for entire first half on Friday, though he did screw up the extra point somewhat. They may stay with Dorenbus for now, but later on if they need the roster spot may cut him if Preston improves a bit too.

Yeah, but Orton has done all pre-season agaisnt back-ups.

Yes he missed it. The ball was standing perfectly on end when he hit it with his foot. But did you ever think that maybe the fact that the snap was bobbled will throw off the kickers timing a bit. There's no way that miss is on Lindell. That's one of these plays when it's made and most time even after a bobble it is made including some i've seen by Lindell that it's great. But when it's missed, it's not the kickers fault!

Actually I was in Altamonte Springs three weeks ago on the night of the Green Bay scrimmage. I went to a place to watch it, I believe was called the Ale House, it's right next to the Altamonte Mall, and there were a few people there all in Bills gear. Got talking with one guy and he indicated that this place is a regular stop during the season for Bill's fans.

If the Bill's were 10-6 last year, they would have been in the playoffs? 10-6 rarely keeps you out of the playoffs. I believe there have been something like 4 teams EVER that were 10-6 and didn't make the playoffs!

Could be NFL injury rules don't apply for pre-season?

I saw George Seifert at the ariport. He told me it was just a broken nail!

Yeah, but if four of five postions have either stayed the same or improved, you can hide one bad spot. And I'm not so sure how bad it will even be. It may be adequate and that likely is good enough.

I thnk they both are way overrated. What has parsells done when he didn't have Bill Belichick on his sideline? Not all that much it seems. JJ is good at evaluating talent. I'll give him that, but wouldn't call him a great coach..

So what team in the league has backup linebackers better than Stamer, Crowell and Haggen? You mentioned the 85 Bears. Who were there backup linebackers? I don't recall? And if you don't know the answer to that question, then how do you know that Stamer, Crowell and Haggen aren't better?

Had the tivo set up tonight and everything. What went wrong? Then realized that this thread was from Sunday. Oh well, guess I'm a day late and a $$ short!

Talk with an eye doctor that in no way can benefit from you having surgery or not having surgery. See what he says. I work at a large company who has their own internal eye doctors. This person has nothing to gain or lose financially to me and he says don't do it! Still way to risky.

Everytime I hear that comment I want to puke. Seems I recall last year before season started, people were talking about Seattle being a Super Bowl contender and St Louis was expected to also do well. Last year many people expected Cinn to do better than the year prior when 8-8 Pitt and Baltimore were certainly decent to good teams. My point is so much can change from year to year, there's no way you can look at the schedule now and say it's tougher!

I second the Weber Grill! Sears Tower is good if it's a clear day.

If this were Strat-O-Matic football, yes sign him. Cause there the players immediatly play at their potential. There's no getting use to the offense and the players around him. I think unless someone absolutley stunning is cut, it's too late to pick up an O-lineman as a starter. Other positions it's easier to bring a guy in at the 11th hour and start him. See L Milloy! You might still sign a guy as a back up, that's fine, but to late for him to jell at the line. Mike Gandy starts and plays there all year unless he stinks up the joint. If that happens you move Teague to tackle. TD has already stated next years draft is deep at tackle. Then you can pick up your long term solution then.

I ususally shoot around a 12 too. But then I go play the second hole!

Going to Fredonia, the route up I-79 probably isn't to bad as you're half way to Erie. But going to Buffalo and/or east, I'd also take route 15 through Pa. 15 has got better over the years, amost 2 lanes each way now. There are still some sections one lane, though they are near the NY boarder in a less traveled section. There are also sections, as described, two lanes each way, undived, with 65MPH! It can be a wild ride.

Darien Lake is worth a day trip. But the park is run terribly. There really isn't all that much as far as rides go. Superman is a top ride, but otherwise, nothing special. Hershey is nice, good family atmosphere. Kinks Dominion does have good rides, but I agree with the comment about it being Getto! Busch Gardens in Va is much nicer, though rides aren't quite as good/wild. From Buffalo to Hershey is about the same as Buffalo to Cedar Point which blows them all away If I were going anyplace from Buffalo, I'd head west to CP. Plus I get to stop in Cleveland for White Castle's.

Yes that is correct, however he also was in Rochester less than 6 months prior and in Buffalo one year before. Where was this announced? I don't see anything posted anyplace??

Check other cities. Find someplace that doesn't give the kids off that week. I live in Rochester. For spring break, here the kids are off the 3rd week in April regardless of when Easter is. I was looking to go to Florida right after Easter (and not for a family vac) I could go round trip on Airtan for around $200. I couldn't believe how cheap it was. So I compared Buffalo to Florida same week, but now the kids there were off there, $450 round trip. Then just for the hell of it I looked at the third week in April; $400 from Rochester, $200 from Buffalo.

Actually that did happen to me. I bought a copy of XP Pro at one of the shows, and when I went to install it, told me serial number had already been installed. I had to call Microsoft, expected a hassle, but really didn't get anything from them. They just asked, where I bought it, the vendors name and location and gave me a new number to use. My guess is they put the name in a file. If they rarely ever hear about a particular company, they ignore him and figure, mistakes happen. But if the same name keeps coming up, they go after them. Was that fairly recent when they raided the show?

Yeah I kind of think thats the problem. The Peter Trapp shows were pretty decent. Market Pro shows were pretty poor anyway. You could get some good deals there on hardware, very little software. But I noticed there hasn't been any in months.
