Albany,n.y.

I'm too old not to, but I always take some tp & wipe the seat just to make sure it's clean. Obvious the guy who got glued to the seat didn't look at it before he sat down.

If the draft is illegal then so is any employer telling an employee where he has to work within that company. The NFL teams are franchisees within what is technically the same corporation-the NFL. They compete on the field, not economically against each other. If the draft is illegal, then so is revenue sharing. These players, by choosing to play in the NFL, agree to abide by the choices of their employers. If they choose not to join their drafting team they have several options-sign with the CFL, UFL etc or stay away from football for a year and get redrafted. They also have the option of getting a real job if they don't want to work for the NFL. If the draft was illegal, why did the courts rule that Maurice Clarett must be permitted to enter the draft as one did several years ago? How can a judge make the league engage in an illegal activity, as he did by forcing Clarett into the draft?

The good news is he thinks Levi Brown can still be a good player. The bad news is he is talking about Arizona's Levi Brown.

The auto accident was before his senior year. Are you referring to another injury?

Ever since you posted this when Scotty sings all I can do is think of his resemblence to Alfred E. Newman and laugh at him.

He's going to claim that he's innocent because the music was too loud to hear anything the officer was saying.

The answer is yes, because you can trade the lesser of the 2 QBs. It worked for Jimmy Johnson when he selected Troy Aikman & Steve Walsh in the same year and decided to keep Aikman & traded Walsh to NO. The problem is if the lesser is a bust & they keep him too long, then his trade value goes way down. Now if the bust is Gabbert-they better draft Luck.

Sounds like the owner of the house doesn't want them there & figured out a way to get them out.

Check again-Brohm isn't on any team.

Anyone who passed on drafting Matt Ryan and instead put the franchise in the hands of Chad Henne should be revising his rules.

Somebody didn't get his dose of "Chan's a genius who has done great work with Fitzpatrick and the offense" kool-aid.

No, there are not. Veteran backups who are solid sign with teams for only 1 of 3 reasons: 1)They think they can beat out the current starter 2)They are willing to be a backup on a Super Bowl contender 3)The team will pay them more than any other team. So, ask yourself which of those 3 possibilities applies to the Bills' available backup job and the answer is none of the above. Name one available solid QB who would want to come here to be Fitzpatrick's backup QB. That's why we have to draft a QB in the 1st 3 rounds and hope he develops into something. Also, assuming that the guy we draft this year doesn't wow the team, expect to see another QB drafted early next year too-especially since 2011 is the final year of Fitzpatrick's contract & unless he really lights it up & has a much higher win%, he's not going to get starter $ from the Bills to lock him up for the 3-6 year deal he'll be in line for in 2012.

Sure they're prepped. As a result, the scores don't mean a lot. I'd rather have a test that measures football intelligence. Right now the Wonderlic is highly skewed to favor people with a high math aptitude. That doesn't always translate to a football field.

Not if the guy who scored the 30 is like JP & his agent coached him up to the 30+. The Wonderlic scores are just too suspect to take at face value when agents get involved. JP's 14 was much more indicative than his 30+ score was. Now imagine if JP had been coached the 1st time & had never taken it before the coaching. That's what we're now seeing with a lot of the QBs & why I can never look at a Wonderlic score & attribute any real meaning to one.

For season ticket holders the Bills don't charge full price for exhibition games. My tickets have a $55 face value & I pay $48 per game. So if you do the math at $55 per regular season game, the exhibition games are approximately half price. Even for non-season ticket holders, they sell one exhibition game as kid's night at reduced prices. Now if there are no exhibition games & the season starts on time, we won't be paying anything for preseasons & I'll get a $48 credit for each exhibition game. That's what I'm hoping for.

In an ironic twist, the son of the editor of the NY Daily News turned himself in after a St Patrick's celebration this weekend got out of control. The News had written an editorial blasting the behavior of the students earlier in the week. http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Son-of-Daily-News-bigwig-busted-in-kegs-and-1170327.php

Pretty offensive for him commenting on your statement, which is really questionable. So you thought what Gailey did was amazing? Why? What did Gailey do with Fitzpatrick that was so amazingly different than what Fitzpatrick had done in the past when he started in 2009? Sure he improved on his stats a bit, but amazing? In order for Gailey to do something amazing with someone, you need a baseline to compare it to-that's just a fact. If you can't understand that then don't attack someone's reading comprehension because you don't understand there HAS TO BE A COMPARISON to prior achievements before a conclusion that Gailey did anything amazing with Fitz can be reached. If you're attacking his use of the word offense, you're just splitting hairs, because you included the offense in your statement.

Paul is just horrible and Jacob will probably end the season as a woman. Yes, yesterday was one of the worst top 12 cumulative performances of all time. Pia, James & Scotty look like shoe-ins for the top 5. It's too early to tell who will join them. Jacob might, he has the voice, but he is so fem it's going to affect his votes sooner or later.

I think any team that would move a guy up or down based on a Wonderlic score has very poor player evaluation. Years ago I used to look at all the Wonderlic scores & I came to the conclusion that there are too many other variables these days that make the score virtually meaningless. In the late 1990s the Jets drafted a tackle in the 1st round with a small Wonderlic score. I remember being at Shea stadium talking about him with a Jets fan & the guy said that the player blew off the test and had graduated with over a 3 gpa. It turned out he had a good NFL career. McNabb & Marino scored in the teens. Remember JP going from the teens to the 30s between his 1st & 2nd attempt? Agents coach these guys up & there's no way I'd upgrade a guy based on an acceptable Wonderlic. A team is much better off looking at tapes of the guy on the field, live workouts and then interviewing the guy in person. An interview with the guy & how he answers football & career related questions says a lot more than a Wonderlic score. About the only value Wonderlics have these days are that we can laugh at the really dumb guys who score in the single digits.

You know that trade would never go down that way.

You'd lose that bet. When Brady was drafted, the Patriots kept 4 QBs on the roster his rookie year rather than risk losing their 6th round pick. Contrast that to the Bills, who let Brown go, didn't sign him to the practice squad & watched as the rest of the league yawned at the mention of Levi Brown, finally calling him when they decided to jettison Trent Edwards. Now, let's look at the Pats 2001 preseason. The concensus in NE was that Brady was the best QB that preseason. He was elevated to second string, something that Levi might be by default rather than accomplishment. A better saying is "A bust is a bust and a never was, never was."

I'm going to watch the NFL this season. It's March! A lockout in March doesn't mean the season is in danger. If October 15th comes along & there's still a lockout with bno progress, then I might be concerned about the season. We may not have football on time, but we will have the NFL this year.

Flutie II

With a depth chart at QB behind Fitzpatrick consisting of Levi Brown, the Bills will be showing interest in any QB who is eligible for the draft.

Fitzpatrick has 1 more year left on his contract. It all depends on who & when the Bills draft a QB & how Fitz does next year. Levi Brown will never be a serious candidate to be a long term starter. He showed little in preseason, got cut & was not even offered a spot on the practice squad of the Bills or any other team, then was brought back as a body to replace Trent Edwards because he was the only guy out there who had spent time learning the offense. Because he's cheap, he could stick around another year, but Levi's long term future is not as an NFL QB.
