I've got a few old Bills nuggets. How about a 1984 Kay Stephenson show where he talks about the 0-10 Bills? (it's an oldie, but baddie) I also have "Nobody Gonna Buffalo My Bills" from ~1981. PM me your email address, and I will send them to you.

Damond, it is unfortunate when the whiners get their way. You were one of the few posters who ever had real news. So naturally, someone is miffed and has to complain. Ridiculous behavior. I hope you come back and post here again. The whiners may eventually discover the Ignore button.

Great stuff, Astro. Much appreciated by those of us thousands of miles away (also loved by the locals). Must have been Mana Silva's replacement, eh? Maybe LaGree with the PBU?

It's early, of course, but I too am very excited about what Da'Rick Rogers may become. In pre-draft reports, he was called "a Julio Jones clone". Check out his interview (at Tennessee Tech, I think) if it is still available in the pre-draft info. He sounded like a respectful young guy, making up for his mistakes. Not a thug or badass at all.

Perfecto! Hey 26, are you referring to Mr Winfield? I'm guessing it's not for Justin Rogers. I wore my 26 Winfield jersey last Friday night at the Wailers show at Buffalo Place. Not much call for it here in Arizona...

Did you say GUARD??? Hmmmmmmm

This is a good idea. The complete merging of any post about camp drives me crazy - it's like my wife's "this can go into a smaller container" obsession.

I think the Jets are going to "suck for Luck" (nothing much rhymes with Bridgewater) this year, pick up one of the hot 2014 QBs in the draft. Also replace Rex fairly soon.

Cool story. Thanks for posting it. I always liked Carlton as a Bills player. I recall his dad was in the military when Carlton and the Bills were playing a playoff game.

Some scouting reports called Rogers a "Julio Jones clone". http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1737204/da In some highlight videos, Rogers looks like the "open when he is covered" kind of guy. I am very excited to see Da'Rick Rogers playing for the Bills.

Kay Stephenson had his favorite phrase "Well, we're not getting the job done." When the same sh@# happens every week you bring out the same old phrase. And to the poster doing the critique of the OP, you might want to spell Marrone with two Rs, not just one.

While we are on the topic of Bills winning & losing... I was digitizing some old cassette tapes and came across a 1984 show with Kay Stephenson talking about how his 0-10 Bills lost the Cleveland game on a fluky late play. DB Brian Carpenter said something to the effect of "I guess God was not ready for the Bills to win this week". Of course, that shabby season led to the top pick Bruce Smith.

That was a lot of fun watching that draft day clip from the war room. Like someone else said, wouldn't it be fun to sit in that room and take it all in (like a fly on the wall)?

I am also very excited to see what Da'Rick can do on the field. You should take a look at YouTube for some of Da'Rick's highlights. He looks like one of those elusive "open when he's not open" kind of guys. Some of the scouting reports called him a "Julio Jones clone". Watching the video interview from his pro day, he appears to have cleaned up his act, seems to be a reasonable, humble guy, not any sort of thug. So that was very encouraging in case you are worried about his past troubles.

+1 Many fans will drag out the old "show me the Ws" business, but we all must wait for September for any of that. But you should be able to see that this is not just another retread coach with a bunch of old ideas. You may not see it if you are blinded by cynicism from decades of losing. Try to get over it. The elusive "baby" is finally on it's way.

Wow, that Pete Lalich story is pretty sad. It sounds like he could be a very good pro QB. He will probably get a chance somewhere eventually.

This is a bit like Jimmy Kimmel's Lie Witness News, where they ask people if they have voted in the Vice Presidential Election (the day after the Pres Election). Many people tell stories of how they waited in line for the VP election... Funny stuff.

The article on Drew Smith, RB Albany, said he signed a 3-year contract with a signing bonus. That sounds like a "priority UDFA" situation, where multiple teams may be bidding for a player.

Getting a project player like Da'Rick Rogers is a huge event for the Bills FO. They call Rogers a Julio Jones clone - so to nab him as a UDFA is just incredible to me. It's a very exciting group of WRs, for sure. And many thanks to 26CornerBlitz for keeping the UDFA list up to date. What a haul!!!

It was stated earlier that Geno is a slow reader, that is, slow reading WR progressions. That sounds like a serious drawback for a QB.

Thank you for your optimism. There are so many gloomy people posting here, your bright outlook is refreshing. I am very excited for what this new regime is doing. They have a plan, they have a clue (!), and the Bills are headed in the right direction IMO. And how the hell can people complain when the Bills draft a guy with 4.27 speed? He's a friggin' Olympian fer chrissake! That's not how it was on MY BOARD...

I have a copy of Nobody's Gonna Buffalo My Bills.

Tank Carder did not work out so well last year. Carl "Tank" Byrum - http://www.buffalobillsalumni.com/searchresults.asp?cat=62 Carl currently resides in Cheektowaga, NY and works as a welder…He is an active member of the Buffalo Bills Alumni Association and still attends most Bills home games. Any other tanks you know of?

You mean copyrighted. Of course, copy is written, but it's a copyright issue in this case.

I remember Eric yelling at Maybin during training camp about how Maybin had not done anything to earn his money yet.
