Better Call Saul! http://www.bettercallsaul.com/

So true - that dark tint is a killer. I've had a few friends get pulled over because of it... In VT less than an Oz gets you a ticket ($200 for the first time, more the next times) but it doesn't result in a criminal record being created. Hope that's the same case for Nigel...

Thank god they finally decriminalized it in VT. Bummer for Bradham, gotta watch that tint!!

Link about the surgery taking place: http://blogs.buffalo...y-this-morning/ "Head coach Doug Marrone said he expects Buffalo’s top draft choice will be re-evaluated at the start of the regular season." - hmmmmmm...

Sirius just reported that EJ had arthro surgery, it went well (he's not even using crutches). Timetable is 2 - 4 weeks recovery!

FWIW I have a little cartlage tear in my ankle that I have to have scoped. My doc told me the recovery is about a week and that I would be back out riding a bike in about 10 days... Keep in mind EJ isn't a 40 something professional expert like me, so he may not heal as fast, but if its just a small tear we might be ok.

Be quiet - next thing they'll ban cell phones! I think we'll be fine, and plenty loud come regular season... And obviously this has nothing to do with the Bills and everything to do with society. I was at a kids play with my girlfriend and her family and the guy in front of us, had his freaking iPad above his head taking video. It was like watching the play on TV. I thought someone was going to kill the guy, but as you looked around everyone had their cell phones up taking vids. Louie CK has a great bit about it in his latest HBO standup. I'm guilty of it too, but every once in a while I do put the phone down to actually watch things in real life!

There's talk about all the blitzing in preseason on Sirius right now; it's becoming how it's done. Welcome to 2013, Vikings. If I were a Vikings fan it would scare the crap out of me that they're not ready for blitzing Ds - the season is like 3 weeks away... Ross Tucker just tweeted "Mike. Pettine. MT: @NFL_ATL: Christian Ponder: 'Exotic' Bills defense 'hard for us to identify'" Better do some homework!

Talk about naming rights - Welcome to "KISS Stadium at Ralph Wilson Field." Despite all of KISS's um, "merchandising", over the years it still makes me happy to say the first concert I ever saw was KISS. The kids always give me a curious look, then nod of approval when I tell them that at work events...

Ha - thanks! I must have posted what was playing AFTER the Brady video...

Video of the injury (though it's hard to see what really happened, no mistaking him coming out of the pile holding his knee nor the fans saying "Oh noooooo!"): http://telly.com/13A55ZD

It's on West Front Street dude... https://maps.google.com/maps?q=casey%27s+buffalo+IA&ll=41.456301,-90.71866&spn=0.01256,0.021501&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&fb=1&gl=us&hq=casey%27s&hnear=0x87e3cfa4f910267f:0xafcb51eba9355d38,Buffalo,+IA&cid=0,0,4533138853134476542&t=h&z=16&iwloc=A

One of the Bills players called this out in an interview - we could feel the other team getting worn down. Who knows what'll happen during the season, but this conditioning and fast paced practice sure cant hurt!

]WHAT!? What's next - false reporting in the story?

The only way this could be better is if the guy was wearing a Tuel jersey...

Pretty stoked boys - here's to something new!

I was going to say... Hell, when I drank a lot I used to puke every Sunday before Bills games too.

Gotta be honest, watching the first episode I had the same feelings as you - these guys don't seem very focused. And I know the players are going to joke around and have a little fun, but to your point, probably during drills isn't the best time. What got me even more was the jokey nature of the staff. They're all just having fun, joking around, getting yelled at by players, and generally not acting as leaders (though again, this is just 60 minutes in a week). Hue Jackson's continual smack talk to the D is going to get that little Giovani killed (seemed like the D was teeing off on him to get back at Hue. I just see Marrone and staff acting the same way - way too focused on Football. Regardless, I love Hard Knocks, it really makes you think about what a crazy business and game Football is. The guy getting hurt at the end was brutal for him, poor kid...

Maybin sighting!

First episode of this season is starting right now...

Yup, the ps3 app. And I have a gen 1 iPad so it won't airplay (won't do HBO Go either - so stupid), but think I've read that others have airplayed it...

FWIW, last year I got the "online only" package and the password worked for my phone, iPad and PS3 - lotsa options. I had the occasional freeze on all devices, but such is streaming video. Still totally worth it!

But how's Stevie's leg? Is Stevie's leg ok? What's the latest from the Doctors? I know he was helped off the field, but was he excused from practice?? Sucks, let's just hope he's ready to go for the season...

Wow - color me impressed. I can not wait for the season to start! EJ is an impressive guy with smart answers to questions. Tim and Pat were giddy, I think... Tim and Pat also said when they look at Rogers they see a Randy Moss type. Stoked.
