I graduated from UB Law School in 1999. It is located in O'Brian Hall on North Campus in Amherst, which is a very nice suburb. South Campus, where the med school is located, is near East Buffalo. The "East Side" has some issues the further you travel up Bailey. The Law School itself is pretty nice and includes an actual courthouse. The 4th department appellate division holds court there every so often. Hope you check it out.
Is it in the same location where kids go to UB for under grad?

Sure, If I may touch on the Travis Henry drama. I dont know how others feel on the board here but I could care less if he does hold out and rots in a hole in Florida. You are a professional act like it. There isnt any reason for you to whine and cry about not getting traded on draft weekend. Be a man and play out your contract and then you can go find a home somewhere else in the NFL.
Welcome once again!!!!!

Big Mike played poorly when CV was hurting/out, and in the beginning of the 04 season. Imo, CV is the biggest "bargain" on the Buffalo Bills wrt the salary cap.
As for MW, no sane person can make the assertion that his play currently warrants more than 10% of the team's salary cap allotment. That said, the cap is rising, we have MW for 3 more seasons, and it (imo) IS possible for him to earn the big bucks.
If he does, the Bills will be a tough football team as soon as this season!

AD, I will give you the first two, but I have been praising Big Mike since seeing him kick ass from the front row on 10/31/04. Yes, he DID improve!!!
I still dont like his contract, unless he plays like a top 10 OT, which is possible, even from the RT slot. For example, Erik Williams was a better OT than Mark Tunei, am I right?

Welcome to the greatest site on the web!
A little advice.....blame each and every woe that the Bills ever had on Drew Bledsoe. Also, dont bring up the fact that Mike Williams counts 9.15 million to the Buffalo Bills salary cap.
If you do the above, you will be loved and accepted here.

Your argument doesn't hold any weight. I'm sure people are tolerant of this coach as a white man. They don't have to be tolerant of his actions. I think most people know what that word means out of the mouth of a white person, and I'm sure you do, too. It was at the very least stupid for him to use it, and it rightly made him look stupid. What the hell does race have to do with this, anyway? He could have just said "some players are idiots, my players are smart" and it would have meant the same thing he meant to say.
I wouldn't want my kids playing for a guy who said stuff like this, and I would want them to call him out on it and refuse to play if he did.
Would you want your kids represented by a United States Senator who made a racial slur against people from India?

Yeah, they find different ways to imitate Howard Stern.

Yeah, I suppose that I am reading into things too much.
But wait, why else would I, a Bills fanatic, be here?

Good point todd, but Gandy is a Left Tackle. You never see them traded, let alone cut.
If he is a good sub as was Price, I will be satisfied.

the bears are talent thin and marc colombo, their first round LT pick from a couple of years ago, is always hurt. their gm, jerry angelo, has had problems assembling a good team, but no one has ever said he doesn't have an eye for talent. i do know that their OC was a bit of a disaster last year, but still. my question is, why would he cut an LT in the middle of the season? has anyone seen him play? is this an instance of us signing the equivalent of marcus spriggs (as miami did a while back) or corey louchiey (as atlanta did a number of years ago) and praying for the best?
Corey Louchey! Ouch!!!
He was the RT equivalent of RJ! The guy was a specimen, and looked like a great OT. The problem was that he was simply awful.
I dont know how good Gandy is, but can he PLEASE be better than Louchey?!

Talk about bad Karma. This board was awash in learned opinons that we were in the catbird seat with regard to the Henry situation because:
A. Some other team was sure to lose a starting RB to a preseason injury.
B. Travis was the best choice to replace that injured back; thus
C. Despite the abundant evidence that no one thinks much of Henry, some team would be forced to overcompenaste us to get such a mediocre RB.
So what happens? We are the ones who get snake bit with a pre-season injury and are in the market to overcompensate a mediocre replacement. I usually don't believe in such things but the bad karma of this situation has got even me wondering.
Believe me, those thoughts still prevail, especially "C".
I dont know how big of a loss this kid is. Do you think that he was going to play a prominent role? Was he known as a blocking TE?
I would like to see the Bills secondary with a healthy Lawyer and TV. I wish Lori was here to tell us what our record is with those 2 healthy and starting.

What happened in Oklahoma is typical ESPN turning race into a storyline- yes a storyline. I think Vince McMahon runs ESPN now. I dont condone use of that language, but they saw another opportunity, just like when Rush Limbaugh made that comment last year (What was he doing on that show to begin with).
A casual conversion in private, and they turn it into news. Anything for a buck ESPN, anything for a story. A guy with a crystal clear record ruined in 1 night, just so ESPN can afford to put another pepi machine in the newsroom.
What happened?

no doubt. the bills' bad start left them with an abysmal conf. record last year. they got hot against the wrong teams (NFC). can't let that happen this year. of course, the bills start with a bunch of NFC games (TB, ATL, NO) in the first 5-6 so in a sense, the schedule works in their favor if they hit their stride later in the season.
The schedule is BRUTAL between the Miami games.
Jets
@ Oakland
@ NE
Bye
Kansas City
@ San Diego
Panthers
Although nothing is certain, it would appear that the Bills need a decent record going into this stretch.
Want another positive sign? MM is no longer a rookie. This alone could/should translate into another win. With parity, the importance of coaching increases. Aside from NE, the other coaches in our division are not scaring anybody (like the NFC East coaches for instance).
This is fun to think about, but injuries will be perhaps the biggest factor. I would LOVE for our safeties to stay healthy and see what happens.

I cannot argue with you about the vital position of LT, especially when we truly dont even know who will fill it. This is not good.
As far as qb, Holcombe can play. If JP is costing us games, hopefully he will be pulled. If not, it is all good.
I do see the parity about which you speak. This imo means that conference games are much more vital, and could open the door for teams with not so great records to reach the playoffs

Thanks AD!!! She is pure class!
I hope to see some "liberal" feedback about this obvious racially insensitive remark.
