There's no way that he will be convicted. The man is mentaly ill and needs that type of help. Do I belive that he did something with kids...yeah, I do. Would I send mine or any other kid to his house for a sleep over, hell no! My take is this guy is about 13 years old (in his head) and he doesn't think that he has done anything wrong. I'm shocked that he hasn't killed himself yet.

Maybe there is still hope.

I think you are splitting hairs. The Newsweek article mentions flushing a Quran down a toilet. The Pentagon and FBI reports talk about other forms of disrespect including sprinkling urine on the book. The Muslim holy book was defiled.
Many of you howled at Newsweek's lack of professionalism for reporting a story that wasn't confirmed. But the point was abuses did occur and Newsweek caved into White House pressure to retract the story. Now the FBI and the pentagon confirm it.
Before you all say "who the f**k cares" keep in mind that we are being judged by the majority of the world's muslims who are not terrorists. On one side you have terror groups screaming America is evil. On the other side you have the US saying we are trying to create democracy in the Middle East. When Muslims see stuff like this, how does it make us look? How can they trust our intentions when we litterally piss on their beliefs?

First of all, your post implies that you care about whether or not there is "democracy" in the Middle East and as we know, wishy-washy lefties like you do not, and were perfectly content while Saddam was gassing babies and paying suicide bombers to kill Jews.
Next, please don't act as if this nonsense is/will be the cause of terrorism. Go to the Middle east, yell the word "Jew" and thousands of these animals will blow themselves up in order to kill others.
American were beheaded as were other Allied soldiers and civilians, right? Where were you? Sitting in the corner crying about some book?
Do you know just how flimsy you make yourself appear? Today is a nice day. Why dont you go and chain yourself in front of a store that sells fur coats?

He will probably get off, but he is as guilty as sin. He fits the profile to a tee....showing the kids porno, giving them booze and gifts, etc.
One thing....if he IS convicted, look for the judge to give him a surprisingly long sentence. He made a mockery of the court, and judges do not respond well to this, believe me.
Then again if he is convicted, maybe he will kill himself before sentencing. That would be upsetting. Can you feel it?

Happy Birthday to all you guys!

That is an easy one, 1bf.
Because one does not have to adhere to the "party line" on every issuse to be a Bills fan, nor a poster on this board. Not only that, if EVERY poster toed the "party line," this would not be a fun place. You DO of course know what I mean by the "party line," right? Here it is:
1) Blesdoe sucks, and deserves the bulk of, if not all of the blame for every Bills loss.
2) There is NO doubt that JP will be an improvement. In fact, he is already an all time great. This is etched in stone; let's not bore each other.
3) Travis is worth at least a first round pick. Why? Because of course he is an "elite" back, lack of offers notwithstanding.
4) TD cannot make a mistake, not now nor ever.
In another post, you stated that you were glad that I am not the GM. You are totally right. I am just a fan who watches every game and wants the Bills to win. This places me in the same class as you.
You can sing the praises of Travis as you choose, but the alleged offers from REAL GMs have been sparse, and far from spectacular.
In summary, we are united in our desire for the Bills to win it all, and we each have obviously different views on how to get there.
In my non-GM opinion, a great first step would be to rid ourselves of this bumbling miscreant.
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are right, and this is not the first time a rumor has the board all set to trade Travis and obtain Gallery, Jason Taylor, Miami's first round pick (#2), a player AND a first round pick, etc.
A 4th, IF of course this is true (and I am skeptical), is better than anything else that was offered for this loser. TD likes to deal on draft day and an additional 4th can come in handy when trying to trade up.
Pull the trigger TD!
-
I think it is to be considered "upping the offer." A 4th in a good draft is a big step up from a 5th in a weak draft.
The proposed trade, if true, sounds fair to me.

Thank you all for your responses.
Again, a person who claimed to be an economist (and sounded very smart) was on this board saying that the Buffal Bills Football Team plays a minor role in the economy of WNY.
I am no economist, but I strongly disagree. A big chunk of the money that we "out of towners" spend is on heavily taxed purchases...such as hotels, alcohol, gasoline, cigarettes, food, etc. Each year, we visit "Jacks Place" in Amherst. We have seen NFL refs and their guests in there. Try telling the wait staff that the Bills don't matter to the local economy!
Imo, the Bills create jobs in WNY, and even an identity of sorts. I have seen people of all racial and ethnic groups wearing Bills clothing, and it is friggin great. Few sights please me more than seeing groups of friends and families tailgating at the Ralph. It is something special that imo, is lost to the New Jersey teams, who are beholden to corporate sales.
Some day, I will be able to come up with my entire family. I cannot wait.
Let me end this rant by saying how proud I am to be a part of the great Bills tradition. Bills fans are the best fans of any team in any sport. I also thank SDS and all of the mods for giving us a place to converse. TBD is also at the top of the class.
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is everybody on TSW invited?

1. We have seen Drew's best and it isn't good enough
2. From what we can see so far our O Line is not substantially better then last year
3. The OC wants to run more creative plays that rely on a mobile QB...which isn't Drew Bledsoe
4. In all likelyhood Kelly Holcomb wouldn't have come here to play backup to Drew....as Drew is extremely durable and has to be "the one"
5. We might be able to actually have some plays break down...AND STILL TURN INTO SOMETHING POSITIVE
6. Drew cost WAY too much for what he was giving us
John, I never thought about #4, and must say that it is a possibility and an original idea, as compared to the usual "I hate Drew" posts.

the equation for determing draft pick compenstation includes playing time and production in the lost players first year with his new club.......if henry goes elsewhere, ends up as a starter, and produces a good season, the bills will be well compensated for that.........
if jennings and williams stay healthy next year we will receive very good picks.........KC received a 3rd rounder in '05 due to the loss of john tait.......
Really? What did we get for Winfield?

Even if this was true, I think that many wives would rather get breast cancer.
Notice I said "wives," not single women.

I agree. Take it all the way into pre-season if you have to do so. Releasing him would be stupid because at worst, you keep him as the 3rd RB, let him walk in FA, and recoup a (decent) comp pick in 2007. And maybe just MAYBE he agrees to play from the get-go and is a great backup RB for this season for the Bills. But someone will be desperate for a RB, just wait.
If he is 3rd string, or 2nd for that matter, the Bills would get ZERO compensation for him if he leaves via free agency.
Teams DO NOT get a pick merely because a second stringer leaves town as a UFA.
Watch and see how little we get for losing Jennings and Williams, let alone a backup that we can't even unload.
-
Westbrook signing a 1 year tender doesn't eliminate Philly from the Henry sweepstakes. They still need a between the tackles runner with or without Westbrook. Plus, Westbrook is probably gone next year and Moats was drafted as his replacement. That being said, Philly is about the last place I'd want to see Henry as he would make their team much better.
Apparently Reid thinks differently, or we would have already unloaded him on Philly. If TH is so great, a 3rd in a weak draft would have been no big deal, right?

Thank you for posting football information.
I do think the Tennessee will be the destination for Travis Henry. I have posted a few times thinking that the Bills could get a defensive linemen which the Titans do have in abundance.
I have suggested either Randy Starks or Rien Long since the Titans have some depth at Defensive Tackle. I have been shot down each time by people who know nothing about either player and can't seem to follow even the simple statistics that I have provided about the post.
Additionally I also agree with you about the group of supposed football fans who take advantage of this board to post their moronic ramblings of the next adventure of "Lost" or meaningless takes on stupid off topics which simply wast time and bandwidth.
Maybe these people should find a lonely losers chat line to spend their idle time discussing all the things the average brain dead speaks about.
By the way for those of you that were offended from my statement of your collective lack of football knowledge and need to include other studid topics, GOOD because now you can all attack me and I can shred your lack of grammer, inability to spell or evn convey the most simplistic idea.
Fire away losers.
>>>>>GOOD because now you can all attack me and I can shred your lack of grammer, inability to spell or evn convey the most simplistic idea.<<<<<
You had me going. I didn't know that this was a troll until this sentence.
Grammer???? Nice touch!

>>>>Henry struggled with blitz pick-up initially as most first year players (even WM) seem to do. However, this issue went away as he became a vet.<<<<
FFS, you know how much I respect and look forward to your posts, but the above is simply flat out wrong.
He is a horrid blocker. Even if he had the brain to learn HOW to pick up a blitz, he seems to lack the desire to do so.
Sacks dropped in half as soon as he was benched.
You are WAY over the edge here.
-
Yeah right, just like nobody was going to give us a first round pick for the right to sign Peerless Price. Shame? The shame is how you keep questioning the Bills for not giving Henry away for a 5th round throw away draft pick. How stupid would this look the first time a starting runningback goes down this preseason. TD does know what he's doing here.
Teams like Tennesse and Jacksonville can go scratch because they should already know we're they're not getting him for a low round draft pick. Jacksonville doesn't want Henry? Who gives a s___.
Overall, I am fine with TD. This certainly does not mean that he is immune from making a mistake, does it?
My contention is and always has been that Travis is not a very good football player. I think that if Travis stays as the Bills backup and is forced into action, they will lose football games just as they have when he was the starter.
You are high on JP, right? The very last thing that he needs is a bumbling loser on the field while trying to adapt to the pro game.
I would rather take my chances with a rookie or free agent; one that can play football and perhaps has a brain.
-
If the jags (or anybody else) wanted Henry, he would be gone. He has been on the market for months and his salary is cheap.
It is a shame too, because the Bills are a team that could use extra picks.

In NYC, only supervisors and Emergency Service units are issued tazers.
That woman was a law suit with two legs. She was being combative and beligerent, which is of course legal; this while fully aware that she was in violation of traffic regs AND driving with a suspended license. She was thinking lawsuit, believe me. The sad truth is that many municipalities WOULD settle with her to avoid the court costs and the risk of a liberal jury awarding her millions.
Remember, many NYC juries consist of out of work botanists, etc.
I am fine with what the officer did, but another thing that would have got her attention was pepper mace. If anything, it would have made for a funnier video.
