Dennis in NC

Does anyone recall the Tonight Show many years ago when Johnny had Mrs Arnold Palmer on the show? JC: Do you do anything to bring Arnold good luck? Mrs P: I kiss his balls before he tees off. JC: Well, I'll bet that makes his putter stand up!

Has anyone here tried "speed golf"? It was a fad a few years back. You run around the course, shoot as quickly as you can (try to calm down!!!), so speed is a factor as well as score. Sounds a bit like the olympic biathlon with x-c skiing and shooting.

Wow. What a horrible picture of Aaron Rodgers. He looks like one of the British Royal family...

"There is a dark cloud right now, but I know the sun is going to shine on me eventually." From the headlines, I was afraid Travis was going to break into song! Like he's been watching the Annie video at Hadley's house... "the sun'll come up, tomorrow..."

I love what I have read about Ezekial too! There seem to be few guys like him who play with real passion, real fire and intensity. I think it was his former NU coach who mentioned him in the same sentence as Butkus and Nietschke! Throwback baby! Grrrrr!

Want to read a cool article about his punt return strategy? This guy is a technician! Jim Leonhard - punt returner!!!

And he might try asking his coach: "Excuse me, coach, but in your estimation, are there any facets of my game in which I could show improvement, such that I may became a COMPLETE runnning back? I believe that such improvement would benefit me greatly, such that I may secure a financial future for myself and my loved ones."

Hey wait! That qualifies you to write a draft column for Yahoo! You can reem all the teams you don't like, give kudos to your faves. Woo-hoo!

This guy is a very interesting prospect. It seems like his negatives are all coachable. DE George Gause For not drafting much defense, the Bills have picked up a few excellent UDFAs in Gause, LB Ezekiel (can't wait to see him play!), and Jim Leonhard, who sounds like a ballhawk safety and ace punt returner. Folks can complain about the Bills draft, but don't forget these UDFAs!

Another point here is that Mularkey & Co. seem unafraid to let rookies and other young guys play! So, even though Everett may be considered "raw", he will likely be given every opportunity to learn and soon contribute. Likewise with Roscoe, who at least has like 3 yrs as a starter (or as a contributor). I think it's a very exciting pair of new offensive weapons.

Stinging words from a 13-year-old! He's mad because the Bills did not bite on Green trying to dump Shelton on us? BTW, Billsfan1, were you trolling there on the Cardinals board, stirring things up? Or did this teen fan just come up with his hatred of the Bills - oh, and their pathetic fans and their pathetic draft - all on his own?

I think Travis shot himself in the foot a long time ago by deciding not to put much effort into blitz pickup, etc. It seems like his attitude (I can only guess, of course) is like "It's not my job. Let the fu*&in fullback pick up the blitz..." And BTW doesn't Hadley look a bit like Jim Rome?

Good list, Mickey. I had to chuckle at the use of the word "wisdom" in conjunction with all of our TSW draft dreaming!

I can see that homesickness happening for an 18-yr-old. I would imagine he has grown up since then. I like the other posters' thoughts on motivating our kicker!

As I recall, a few names slip out sunday night, then a bunch more by monday night.

Good luck, man. It seems sort of like teaching 9th grade around here, especially when the draft comes up and the guy these kids have a picture of in their locker is completely ignored (or not even traded up for!) by those people that occupy One Bills Drive. The principal, Mr Donahoe, really sucks, man.

Bravo, sir! A masterful explanation. Many thanks. The original poster is one of the new completely negative voices here at the wall. Not much fun to read, since everything's a bummer for him. I try to avoid his stuff, but sometimes I slip.

Hey, so the Tipster is excited and he's typing too fast! You didn't get the point somehow? Some of our recent players display some versatility, the ability to play several positions. And... we have a coaching staff is that is not afraid to use them in multiple ways! Verstehen sie das point?

Pretty happy? Some of the "teen punks" are ready to jump off the friggin' Skyway. I know this is a place where the uninformed can have a voice, but some of these guys come so unhinged that it gets pathetic. And there certainly are some interesting guys left in the 4th (and beyond), especially some OL suitable for an OL coach that likes late pick type players.

DeeRay, you are one completely negative individual. Someone makes a humorous comment about Willis running the show, and you dig up some negative analogy from 30 years ago. Jeez Louise, you gotta be shittin' me, man. Are you ready to leap out a window if your favorites are not selected tomorrow? Get a life, man. Take some happy pills! Have a drink. Get laid. Whatever is missing in your life needs to be filled in...

I have faith that TD and the crew knows what the hell they are doing. With all the bitchin' about Roscoe, I thought folks would be very happy with Everett. Funny, but ESPN listed Everett as a WR when they talked about the pick. Roscoe's size is of some concern, but sometimes guys overcome that with great football instincts. Stop worrying - the Bills are in good hands.

No. In all likelyhood, LJS would be the 6th OL for the Bills, if you look back to the recent info on him. He is not an effective LT, and it is not wise to pay a backup RT $3 million bucks a year! So, "at least we would have a body" is a ridiculous notion when that body is an overpaid underachiever.

A great little quote from Cadillac Williams, on his rivalry with Ronnie Brown: "He may have won the war, but the battle's not over."

Something in the first 10 picks of the 3rd round would be great for me. We all know (as fans, at least) what Travis can and can't do. I will be relieved when his deal is done, and we can all move on with our lives ;-)

Send Travis to AZ or Philly for a pick near the top of the 3rd round. There is good value at the top of the 3rd round. LJ Shelton can be had later for less than $3M/year, if Bills want him.
