My head just exploded...

lol - so true judging by the Glazer confirmation!

FWIW, Patrick Moran just tweeted that he hears the Bills are still talking to SF about Smith: Despite reports that trade for Alex Smith is "effectively done" (rumor is KC), I hear the #Bills are still having discussions about him. Surprised the dislike for Smith here - every host that I've heard on Sirius NFL has done nothing but praise the guys work ethic, have said that he's a leader, he's played in a winning org, he's tough, he doesn't turn the ball over, etc. They said that KC will immediately win AT LEAST 8 games if they get Smith and they talked about what a coup it would be for Reid to get a QB like Smith. Not sure if he's our answer, but clearly there are tons of questions about the QBs in this class. At least Smith has done it before. And I'd rather trade a 3rd or 4th and use our top picks on other areas. If we suck again this year, we pick up another QB in next years strong QB draft and perhaps even trade Smith again (depending on what he does on the field).

And fresh off the twitterverse: David Nelson @DavidNelson86 Wow. If this is true- then I def do get al my info from twitter.. RT:@JasonColeYahoo: Bills not expected to tender RFA WR David Nelson lol - strange world we live in...

Metz also explained why CJ gets winded and says he's not a 20 - 25 carry guy: http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-coverage/2013/02/a-plausible-explanation-for-how-cj-spiller-might-get-winded.html?ref=bmh And the Bills claimed they reached out to Pete: http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-coverage/2013/02/bills-refute-pete-metzelaars-claim-that-doug-marrone-blew-him-off.html?ref=bmh (unless of course, Doug never made the call...)

No mention of Brandon saying they're going to meet with both Byrd and Levitre's agents at the combine and that both the Franchise or Transition tag is a possibility for both? http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Nix-Franchise-tag-an-option-for-Byrd-Levitre/0e6a41f4-c098-4972-af19-1f3fbddae7a5 Not like I would expect them to say anything different, but good to know there at least getting together to talk deal!

Put down the bath salts and step away from the keyboard...

Nothing on Joe B's report on the contract details: http://www.wgr550.com/pages/15566781.php?contentType=4&contentId=12421698 1.75MM, no signing bonus, no guaranteed money. Should we cancel the end of the universe party yet?

I'm gonna get the papers, get the papers. And agree w everyone, let's bring in Landry, a guy that can help teach the system...

I had read an article (that I can't find now) that said that's exactly what Rex and Pettine did in NY - bring in a couple guys that know the system and let them help teach the new team... Kinda thought this one was interesting too: http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2009/05/new_york_jets_no_longer_relyin_1.html I'm excited for FA, the Draft and then to see what these guys put in place...

Yes OR No Can't we at least wait to see who is on the team before predicting doom and gloom?

Obviously you're new here - just so you know, most on TBD are direct descendants of Nostradamus, hence everyone knowing how next season will play out. BTW, could someone send me next weeks lottery numbers? Thanks in advance!

I have a couple friends on the Skullcandy team - gonna have to try and get something signed by Stevie! Yoon from The Berrics (if that means anything to anyone on TBD ) shot pics at that shoot. Cool to see the action sports and NFL coming together...

Where did that number come from? As was mentioned, the News says his cap figure is $4.6MM, though I guess that doesn't necessarily mean they will save that much if he's cut... http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130213/SPORTS/130219671/beerball-1004 "The Bills’ top 12 cap figures: Mario Williams ($12.4 million), Fitzpatrick ($10.45 million), Kelsay ($5.975 million), Kyle Williams ($5.95 million), Stevie Johnson ($5.67 million), Marcell Dareus ($5.56 million), C.J. Spiller ($5.04 million), Terrence McGee ($4.6 million), Mark Anderson ($4 million), Brad Smith ($3.75 million), Fred Jackson ($3.7 million) and Eric Wood ($3.34 million)."

Fitz was playing well and in the final year of his deal. Sanchez was playing well BUT he still had two years on his deal. The Bills were scared they would wind up with no QB, the Jets were scared Sanchez was upset over the Manning rumors and the Tebow deal. Gotta go with Sanchez / Jets...

What!? First you give opium to kids, now you defend that murder Ray Lewis!?! Sadly, no card for me, not sure they give 'em out to those on business trips (though I live in VT and my business *is* skateboarding, so I should be grandfathered in....). Heard the ad for the Cannabis Cup though, seems like it would be a fun little Saturday! And, FWIW, two Representatives - Polis (D - CO) and Blumenauer (D - OR) have introduced a federal bill to De-Federalize Marijuana Prohibition. http://polis.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=318723 Their "Path Forward" doc has a lot of interesting facts and info on the subject for those that would like to read a little more: http://blumenauer.house.gov/images/stories/2013/The_Path_Forward_Rethinking_Federal_Marijuana_Policy.pdf

Did I mention I'm in LA for the week. And in pain? Interesting thread for sure...

Russ is cheap!

This is the first year in about 4 years that I'm not taking Super Lazy Monday off. Hosting that big party on Sunday is tiring... My two cents - play the game on Saturday!

Just saw this one on NFLN - not sure what to make of it: http://nfl.si.com/2013/01/29/ray-lewis-ravens-deny-deer-antler-spray-report/?sct=uk_t2_a3 He was allegedly using deer antler spray from a company called S.W.A.T.S.? Strange. Though seems like deers antler spray would be easy to get and abundant in WNY! One thing is for sure Mitch Ross (SWATS owner) is an interesting character peddling some out-there stuff. Here's a 2011 article on Ross and his magic "chips" (with some Ray Lewis mentions) http://www.thepostgame.com/features/201104/tpg-exclusive-auburn-tied-controversial-supplement-company I think *I* need these things!

Nassib is going to be on Murph's show on GR55 shortly tonight, fwiw.

From Alex Marvez's Twitter "Terrell Suggs just ran into locker room screaming, "Tell (the Patriots) have fun at the Pro Bowl. Arrogant f******."" Buy that man a beer!

Ralph/uss is cheap!

Can't wait to listen PTR... Didn't see a link to the video on BB.com: http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/ It's neat to think that they're going to do some work to the stadium - modernize the Old Ralph a bit!
