I'd love to see someone post something about how crappy a coach his father is. That should get him into his own hissy fit.

Hey Greg/TZ 78, are these guys your buds, and is one of them the Curtis-lover? Sounds like you tag-teamed Joyner.

You must be smokin'...or jokin'.

I'm the guy at the circus who can look at you and determine what you weigh. As for Schobel, he'll get back up to the 260 range before the season starts. Good to see everyone else add some weight, although I was surprised at Jason Peters being 340#. If he's mostly muscle, good god!

The Bills' website apparently updated the current weights of the Bills players. Check it out: http://buffalobills.com/team/roster.html

That should all but seal the conference. The Sabres need 4 more points.

Are they allowed to talk the agent before SD agrees on a trade for something other than a 1st and 3rd?

Sounds good in theory. The agent could just say "no extension" and dare the Bills to franchise him next year.

The only problem I could foresee is that his agent would know the Bills would want to sign him to a deal and not waste a 2nd rounder, so he might ask for the moon.

Yep, I also think he'd be a mid-1st round pick if he came out in the draft. That's why I'd have no problem trading a 2nd. And IF the Bills DID trade a 2nd for him, knowing that they'd need to sign him to a long-term big-money contract, they'll likely scrap the "cash to cap" policy to some degree.

Duh. The best defense is a good offense.

Good point. Better they spent half their cap surplus on a CB, kept an aging MLB and a likely-to-never-be-great-again OLB, just because they were expensive and/or not interchangeable.

It's a self-imposed policy. They can change it if they wish.

All talk. No one is going to give them ONE 1st rounder, much less more. The best they can hope for is a 2nd, unless Smith truly wants to keep him for the year, and then lose him for nothing next year.

The cool thing is it has a built-in chromatic tuner, noise gate, delay, tape echo, sweep echo, chorus/flange, phaser, and tremolo, to go along with reverb. Tons of presets by a bunch of guitarists as well. Can't wait for the footpedal with the wah/volume pedal!

Got my amp yesterday but got to it late and could only play it at low volume (kids). But I got the chance to turn it up today and that thing rocks! It makes me want to get back into a band big time. So far I've tracked-down a drummer (have yet to contact him), but the hardest part is finding a good singer. BTW, anyone have any experience with EMG pickups? I bought an EMG 89 years ago that I installed. I like it, mostly because it has a coil splitter (humbucker to single coil), but it seems like it's lower output than I need for lead. Maybe I'm just being silly. Thanks again.

Well, those numbers are skewed by the fact that Kearse only played 4 games in 2002 and 2 last year. But I did read that Walker had the most sacks (or 2nd most) sacks by a DT over that time period.

I wouldn't trade down if Willis is their guy. Hell I'm not even sure he'll be there at 12, figuring the 49'ers will probably want him.

I'll say right now that I'd take Turner for the Bills' 2nd rounder straight-up. If the Bills can get him for less, it's gravy. I agree that Turner will be better AND more proven than anyone they can get in the 2nd round, and I wouldn't pass-up Willis if he were there in the 1st.

I think that most took exception to the characterization of the trade as a "heist" for Philly. Sorry but when you HOPE that a player can regain his Pro Bowl form prior to suffering a debilitating injury that most don't come back from, you didn't "steal" anything.

Where did you hear that?

Yes, and Kennedy once said "I am a jelly donut." He dumb.

I know you'll think your team got the better end of the deal EWW, but given that Walker has the most sacks of any DT since becoming a starter and is NOT coming-off an injury, much less one that almost invariably robs players of their abilities, the Bills came out way ahead. Can't really say much about Holcomb's effect on the deal, since he'd have been 3rd string in Buffalo and is a far cry from Garcia as a backup. Time will tell, but that's how it stands right now. And Winston Justice and Broderick Bunkley would NOT start for the Bills. Westbrook and McNabb yes.

I don't know if I'd say the Eagles got more potential. Even without suffering an almost invariably talent-robbing injury, Spikes is on the wrong side of 30 and would have been on the downside of his career. It will be almost impossible for him to regain his pre-2005 form.

Well first of all, the revenue sharing plan was approved through the 2009 season. From what I recall, that's the first year that either side (owners or players) can decide to opt-out of the new CBA. If Ralph dies before then, I'm sure ownership will transfer to his wife, who wouldn't be forced to pay estate taxes. If he doesn't die before 2009, the owners will likely kill the new CBA.
