Fan in Chicago

As the hour approaches, I felt the need to shamelessly bump this thread. Hope Buddy is not taking his afternoon nap today.

I do care as it will make for a tough Superbowl for the Bills

Awright, awright. You got me. For some reason, I thought it starts at midnight.

As the clock ticks slowly to 4 pm Eastern USA time on March 13th* that will signal the start of free agency, I would like to start a thread to post news about the Bills Free Agency: - Moves: Free Agents signed - Non-moves: Moves that the FO chose not to make e.g. (if) choose not to make an offer for Demetrius Bell Let us keep this thread free of bitching and yelling and keep it fact based only. Discussions (read: bitching and moaning) about signings can be kept in separate threads. (This thread is different from the Free Agent tracker in that this one concentrates on the Bills only) *Thanx, BillsVet

First of all, your thread title implies that you know for sure that he is gone. Link ? Proof ? If you are just speculating, I won't be too unhappy if he is not a Bill next season purely because of his injury history. He is an unreliable contributor similar to JOnas Jennings and Roscoe Parrish. If his departure accelerates our acquisition of a good LT via the higher rounds of the draft or otherwise, I will be more than happy. Lastly, for those clamoring for Hairston at LT, let us not go overboard here. Hairston appears more suited for the right side than the left. He may yet suprise us by becoming more athletic, but I would rather develop him as a RT and a backup LT than the other way round.

Most here are speculating that Luck will be picked first. I wonder if the Redskins specifically wanted RG III or were indifferent between the two QBs. It will be interesting if Indy picks RG III. Will that indicate they don't believe in Luck ? What will the Redskins feel then ? As for this deal, I am sure glad the Bills did not make this type of a deal. If the draft can be considered somewhat of a gamble, then it is much more likely for a team to improve with two more #1s and a #2. Purely on a game of odds, this is a poor move.

Months ? I think the next week will be very interesting.

Depth ? The FO is on a serious 'keep your own' run. Quite a contrast from last offseason when they didnt go out of their way to re-sign Poz, Whitner

I vote for one combined Super thread for all things Peyton Manning. Else this place will start resembling a Peyton Manning board "Landed in Miami", "Having dinner in Baltimore", "I want Peyton", "Peyton sucks and eats babies" ......

Why, oh why, would you besmirch Whitner in a conversation with ieatcrayonz ?

(sorry to repeat myself) My pick is the 49ers

I seriously doubt he will retire at this point. He is a competitor and I am sure realizes that he has just one ring to show for all his brilliance. Why not go to an almost-contender, put them over the top and retire with another ring ? If he is cleared medically, he should be able to play for another 2 years.

Speaking of doctors, isn't there an ortho on this forum who can set us straight ? We should have a list of professionals and their specialties, and list them as go-to guys for expert opinions. e.g. Chef Jim = cooking

That would certainly be in the realm of possibilities. As good as Alex Smith played last season, getting PManning will make that team an instant contender. I would also guess that they would go WR with their first pick and give him weapons. Interesting days ahead for sure ...

Maybe 3D TVs won't go away, but are you sure your optimism is because you were recently at the CES ? 3D TVs have indeed been tough sells and the electronics manufacturers are just not used to sticking with products that do not sell in large quantities. There was a time when this was not true, where new electronic gizmos would have a long life and enjoy strong prices (VCRs, Walkmans, portable cassette players ...) but not any more. SIgnificant technology jumps such as DVDs, flat screen TVs quickly become commodities and their prices drop precipitously. This has not been the case with the 3D TVs and hence I see trouble ahead. Back to the OP, I normally just pay for the movie ticket and either carry in a cup of water or sneak in a can of pop. I can live without food and snacks for 2 hours. I think the concept of popcorn and coke is more due to force of habit for most people anyway. Do you come from the elite Michael Bay school of movie watching ? TTSS was brilliant, IMO.

You CANNOT be serious ! Is this real or did you do a little editing ? 'Cos if real, its totally incredible.

I think that is a very reasonable price for his services. Also, IMHO, we are not done with the WR position and expect it to be further addressed in FA or in the top rounds of the draft.

Hi.

I did not know that either. And I knew he was young but not 39 years young. Looks fit enough in that pic to wear a uniform and start playing.

Jumped 20 cents close to my house (suburb of Chicago). Was $3.89 and is now $4.09

Also note that Social security goes belly up in 2030. So 10 years is adequate time to get rid of most of the US population.

Any woman with ta-ta's in her name has got to be good

Most of the answers in this thread are proof of why such fairly significant scientific stories don't make front page news

We had just one pick in the 2010 draft ?

Given their stellar defense, I wonder how a more competent QB may perform. The divine comebacks meant that the Broncos were in a deep hole which may have been shallower if Tebow was a better QB. Sure others have used harsher words. But my question is why a teammate and one who plays the same position chose to say these negative things. A good team mate would privately express his frustrations and unhappiness to the coach and management.
