Do you really ant a 6'7 guard? The QB needs to be able to see over these guys..

Agreed. Do folks ever stop and think that the highest paid guys at their positions ALMOST ALWAYS are the ones most recently signed? Salaries are escalating. Sure its alot for him this year...but wait 3 years and he wont be in the top 20 (money wise)

If you do not know who Don Cherry is....you are NOT a hockey fan. The guy is an ICON. He is the Howard Cosell of the NHL. But, Crayons, who would be the top 10 in the US? 1. Paris Hilton 2. Jessica Simpson 3. Fred savage 4. (Your name here)

What...you dont like the bee-ieews?

Yeah, I am pretty conservative...and I like Gov. Palin...I think she is tough, she is a layman and I think she would make an excellent VP. She could really follow mccains lead and help him form coalitions and shake things up once in a while. HOWEVER...although I think she makes a pretty good VP....I think it would be a disaster for her to be president. I was hoping she could "fake it till she made it"...but it is clear she is over her head. So..as long as McCain is alive...McCain/Palin is my ticket..but it scares me to think she could be President.

Wow! I like how she didnt smoke the cigarettes. They are all about 3/4 of their original length. Really though...its not THAT bad. I mean, its a wreck, but all she needs to do is throw out the trash and fix the bathroom. Slap a coat of paint and some new carpet on it, and it looks in pretty good condition... Cant believe someone could live there though...but from a landlord perspective, it could be ALOT worse

Would you believe none? The whole concept of shorting a stock is selling a stock you do not have, and hoping to be able to buy it back later at a cheaper price than you paid for it. For example Sell 100 shares of GE stock (which you DO NOT OWN), make $3,000 Stock goes down to $25 Buy 100 stares of GE stock for $2500 to cover those shares you sold, but did not own Profit $500 Simplistic...but takes no money...

hm...good minds think alike apparently! i havent read ppp in a while....hopefully folks in Washington are thinking this as well.

Here me out here... if the government plays its cards right, there is a strong possibility the government can actually MAKE money with the bailout. (not that the government should be in the business of making money...but I digress) The notes the government is going to buy are headed for default. What they hopefully will not do is pay dollar for dollar for the notes. i.e. if the note is worth 100k at 7% interest, hopefully the government only buys that note for 50k or so. The government buys all the notes secured by the mortgage, and then re-negotiates the mortgage with the consumer. They defaulting homeowner now has a lower interest rate which is economically feasible for them. The government can then re-sell this security back to the private sector for MORE than the 50k it bought it for. The homeowner however would not get a free-ride. As part of this agreement, they must pay the government back the complete cost of the reduced interest rate upon sale or transfer of the property. The lender buying the debt in the first place would not get a free ride, as they will still take a 50% loss on the security (which is better than 100% loss). Thoughts? I see potential here to both help out this economy, AND help out the revenue stream a bit. One might ask "isnt this the role of the private sector and not the government?" I would tend to agree, but we need a system set up QUICKLY, and as sad as it is to say it, the government is the fastest way to get this rolling.

What week do they start flexing Sunday and Monday night games? Any chance the Bills might get another prime time game this year?

I'm (obviously) a bills fan...but I think Denver right now is the class of the AFC. But at the end of the day, I think San Diego and Indy will be back in it.

Eh...If he was smart, he would rent a car, drive about 2 hours east...check in at the carrier dome and fill out a job application.

I have to admit that Trent Edwards is the better quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. He keeps playing like this, he is a Pro-Bowl (and possible HOF) quarterback. Thats jumping the gun, but what he did today is what Elway, Favre, Marino, Kelly, etc have done 1000 times. It would be ludicrous to suggest JP start on this team. What I have a hard problem doing is saying that, given the right opportunity, JP might not also be that Pro-Bowl (and possible HOF) quarterback. So to compare the two and say who will have a better career is a bit crazy... In my opinion, 20 years from now, we will be saying "wow, they had 2 great QBs on the roster at the same time". Thats not a problem. And thats not to say that MAYBE Losman might not turn out even better than trent...just not on the Bills. Trent is the Guy. Lets stop the nonsense and JP bashing. We're 3-0. 5-0 is a realistic possibility. 12-13 wins is a realistic possibility. Playoffs are more than likely. We ARE a top team in the AFC. Next...ST LOUIS....

PLEASE STOP WITH THIS CRAP OKAY? Many of us feel (and will always feel) that JP got a bad rap here. He never got a fair shot, and I personally feel he will be a very good QB in this league... Many of us feel the Coaching staff mishandled the QB situation last year by not picking one guy and sticking with him. Many of us (even those in the above categories) think that Trent Edwards is a Special Quarterback who SHOULD be our starter. This doesnt mean that we dont support JP and think that given an opportunity he might not be a pro-bowl caliber player himself. Bottom line is, there are few people who TODAY think JP should be the starter. But there are many people (myself included) who think he will someday be a very good QB (Minnesota...?) So get over yourself...JP is a Bill and therefore i DO support him 100%. And if TE gets hurt...Im very happy knowing JP will get another shot to show what he can do.

10-6 is very reasonable. 2-0 now. 5 should-wins against Oakland, KC, St. Louis, Miami (x2) we should be able to at least split the 7 games against Arizona, NE (x2), NYJ (x2), San Fran, Cleveland And I'll put a couple should-lose games in there for good measure against Denver and San Diego (yes, I think they are MUCH better than 0-2) So if that all plays out, we should be 10-6 to 11-5. I really dont see us coming in worse than that...

Hell..if social security was privatized, and all your money was placed in a checking account and not invested and earned ZERO rate of return, it would be better than the system we currently have in place. I cant believe the american people stand for a system that actually earns a NEGATIVE rate of return! Ask yourself this...if for every dollar you put into your IRA you got 95 cents back when you retired, how much money would you dump into your IRA?

Im going to try the sopcast, but if that doesnt work, are there any good live streaming audio broadcasts of the games?

Does anyone have the question she is answering?

Preferably a place in Alexandria or Arlington VA, but will consider anywhere in DC... anyone know of a good bills bar in the area?

...I cant believe I just read this... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,413541,00.html

Well, there are some serious pro's to him...but many serious con's as well. Pro's: -Extremely Experienced (Foreign Policy, National Security). Experience that Obama himself does not have. -The "Safe" choice. The other options were too inexperienced and would have been chided for their "inexperience" -Very energetic. A fighter. Probably one of the better "attack dogs" for McCain since he knows him so well. Con's: -Hard to explain him as a "Change" candidate. My favorite line from yesterday was Obama saying that Biden has "Been bringing Change to Washington for decades". Really Mr. Obama...is THAT the kind of change you are talkin about? -Comes from Delaware. They are spinning hard to make him from Pennsylvania...but he is Delawares Senator. Delaware is pretty Blue already. -Says stupid things on occasion. i.e. (and im paraphrasing). "Delaware has alot of indian immigrants..you can hardly go into a 711 without an indian accent" and "Barack Obama is the first clean and articulate mainstream African American to run for president". Just boneheaded comments. If he makes many of these, he could be a big liability.

...I meant to give him the money as PART of his next contract. Not to single him out, but to send a message that, hey, you report on time, you do what you are supposed to do, we will reward you by discussing contract terms with you.

Peters currently owes $432,000 in fines for missing camp. I say we use that money and directly (to the penny) give it to Lee Evans as a "Roster Bonus" for reporting to camp.
