Albany,n.y.

I was going over the UFL rosters & I found some interesting names. Just call them the Las Vegas ex-Bills: J.P. Losman, Lauvale Sape, Teddy Lehman & a guy we cut in pre-season George Gause. The only other ex-Bill I could find was Florida's QB Craig Nall. Here are some other familiar names: Las Vegas: Wendell Bryant, David Kircus, Tony Parrish, Tim Rattay (who could end up beating out JP as the QB if JP falters); NY: LaBrandon Toefield, Quinn Gray, Cecil Sapp; Florida: Bob Pettiti, Zach Pilar, Bo Schobel, Jermain Wiggins, Curtis DeLoatch, Frank Murphy. California is fielding a bunch of no-names. Based on the "I've heard of him" factor I'd rate the teams 1)Florida 2)Las Vegas 3)New York 4)California.

I figured it was time for his first flaming since he couldn't even spell Cowher's name right in his 1st post.

Never heard of Bill Cower. Why would Ralph pay anything to a guy named Bill Cower?

Finally someone who stated it right. 2 years and 2 games away is much more severe than a 3 game suspension. Lynch basically left a woman for dead last year (he didn't know her condition when he sped off) and got no games. So as a 2nd time offender, he got off pretty lightly.

In other words, "I'm too old for this pre-season shiit"

George Allen was fired by the Rams in preseason. It was more a personality conflict with the owner than anything else. http://articles.latimes.com/1991-01-02/spo...orge-allen?pg=1 "Curiously, Rosenbloom chose Allen to succeed Knox after the 1977 season. Even more curiously, Rosenbloom fired Allen two games into the 1978 preseason. The future didn't even make it to now. Rosenbloom fired Allen amid reports of bizarre behavior that, had he known better, was nothing more than customary George Allen behavior. Allen, for instance, chewed out players for failing to properly clap chalkboard erasers and could be distracted from a blocking drill by the sight of crumpled paper cups strewn across the practice field."

That was Marv's biggest mistake. The Bills scouts loved Cutler. He could have corrected Donahoe's mistake of picking JP, but instead the team decided not to pick a QB and hand the team over to JP. One rule should always be if your scouts have identified a guy as a franchise QB, and he's available when you are drafting, and you don't already have one, you draft him.

Now I know we're not in the league of the elite teams, like the one we played last night, but this trash everything based on exhibition results is ridiculous. A lot of you don't remember how awful Frank Reich used to play in preseason, because he needed a game plan to play well. Now I don't know if Trent's preseason is similar to what Reich used to experience, but I'd like to see this team in real games before I'm thinking the season is a waste. Pre season can be very misleading. Detroit went 4-0 last preseason & didn't win a game. This team may well indeed be bad, and Trent may prove unworthy, but you just won't know that until the real games are played. Also, those who really think we'll be the worst team in football are nothing short of insane. The Bills are a mediocre team. Sometimes they'll look good (like against Chicago this preseason) & sometimes they'll look bad (like GB & Pittsburgh preseason games). This translates to a 5 to 8 win season-not what anyone here wants, but definitely not in the worst teams group.

Introduce him to Mike Shanahan and tell Dick that Mr Shanahan will need Dick to clear out his office ASAP.

With respect to my buddy Petrino, Ode to Chuck Knox: His offense had a huddle and he drafted Perry Tuttle He was sure about Booker Moore and before he was done, he cut Gary Anderson.

I don't know when Edwards' contract is up, but I'm sure of 1 thing-He is not going to be an unrestricted free agent-this is only his 3rd season, so if his contract is up, we just have to tender him the highest minimum & then see what happens. Chances are if he's good enough, we'll extend him or match any offer. If he's still a question mark, nobody is going to give up the draft choices to sign him & he'll be back next year with one more chance to show he's worthy of big $.

Who is the 1 of 100? Jauron's kid?

It depends on what Mort's son wants to do after he gets cut by Tennessee. Right now the answer is JP, but I doubt JP is making very much to play 6 games of minor league football (IF the league ever plays those 6 games). Fortunately for JP, if he didn't do anything stupid, like become a Madoff client, he should have tons of money & can basically play for free for as long as he wants to. To put things in perspective, JP made more last year than many people will for their entire working lives.

You were really close on the conversation, but I corrected your one oversight.

I'm not sure why the game ended on the play with a safety awarded. He can be in the endzone all day long & it's not a safety until he goes out of bounds or is tackled, since he can still punt it if not tackled. So my question is: If he went out of bounds, then there's got to be time left & the Bills should have received a free kick. If he didn't go out until after the clock expired then it is not a safety and the Bills shouldn't have been awarded 2 points. I seriously doubt he timed it perfectly where the clock expired at the exact moment he stepped out. My guess is the refs messed something up.

For a few seconds I thought Ralph was going to talk about affordable health care for people in need, and that he was appalled by the fact these people couldn't afford to get the kind of care that he can. I didn't think it was the time or place to talk health care. Then, when he continued, I realized that he had just said the wrong word.

FYI-Terry Bledsoe didn't die, he recovered from his heart attack & was fired. Now it's difficult to find anything on Bledsoe, but in 1992 he was involved in an attempt to start a new team in a new league in Tampa.

Anyone who listened to Ralph last night no longer can post the moronic Ralph is senile BS. It's about time for the Ralph is senile posters to admit that Ralph has more on the ball than they do.

Other than the assumption that she hasn't done much work since high school, everything else is contained in the story. 27 years old-check lives with mommy-check 9 years out of high school-unless she's really dumb, dropped out & then came back-OR WAS REDSHIRTED numerous times-check Filed a frivolous lawsuit -what else would you call suing because you can't find a job 3 months after graduating? -check

She's 27, which means it took her 9 years from high school to get her degree. What has she been doing in the 9 years that usually take a person 4 to complete their degrees-obviously not working, otherwise she'd have some means of support and could have turned the right part time job into a full time one. Maybe the fact that she's 27, hasn't done much work since high school, lives at home with mommy, and just finished college screams out LOSER on job interviews. It is not the responsibility of a college to find employment for its graduates. It is the responsibility of the graduates to find their own job. I hope the judge throws out the case & fines her the legal fees-not that she can afford to pay them. However, if she found a lawyer to take this case, I hope that the lawyer has to pay the cost of this frivolous lawsuit.

Has the post office taken away any mailboxes near you? They removed the mail drop box down my block and I noticed another one removed in my neighborhood. It looks like a cost cutting move. I don't know if it's just a local thing or nationwide.

The difference is, is that when a QB busts, he sets the franchise back by years. Now he may not be the biggest bust, but he was one of the biggest busts, at the most important position on the field. The same can be said for Rob Johnson since he cost a 1st & 4th and wasted the Bills time, and to a lesser extent Drew Bledsoe, because he cost a #1 and only lasted 3 years. Every time the Bills have found a starter post-Jim Kelly, he's set the franchise backwards and wasted not only the years he played, but others as well. If the Bills hadn't invested in JP in 2004, they would have chosen Cutler in 2006. If Edwards doesn't work out, then the franchise has again spun its wheels & lost valuable time. A QB bust is a franchise killer.

I'll watch the UFL IF they play. I'm concerned that the league is about 2 months away from playing & they don't have a schedule yet. They don't know the dates when & where they are playing & have not put single game seats on sale. All they have is a waiting list. They have very few players under contract. Now I know they're waiting for NFL cuts, but this lack of a schedule & ticket sales is a major red flag. I think it's no better than 50-50 that they play this year.

It all depends on what his play actually looks like on the field and not on a stat sheet. If he's running for his life but making plays when he can, then yes, it would rest on the O-line. If he plays like the 1st half of last year's Cleveland game, then it's on him & it's time to move on. If he plays like he did before the concussion, then get your playoff tickets & watch him be named to the Pro Bowl (which in my wildest dreams, no Bill is permitted to play in)
