Albany,n.y.

It has nothing to do with hating Buffalo. The Bills picked 3 guys in a row in rounds 4 & 5 who he didn't even give a write-up to in his report. That indicates he viewed them as not draftable. He's going off his ratings. If the Bills had picked guys he rated a round or two earlier in those spots and beyond, he would have praised them. It's not about Buffalo, it's about Mel doing a CYA in relation to his draft guide. Remember when he didn't have Fina written up and Fina was calling him out after being picked in the 1st round? Mel doesn't care what the team is, he bases his grades on his own numbers.

Karl Malone's son-bring back the Braves.

There goes the draft

JP is having the worst draft-it might have dawned on him by now that nobody is willing to give up anything to acquire him.

Tell Time Warner cable-I'm stuck with ESPN.

Doesn't matter, but the last 3 picks didn't even get a writeup from him in his draft report. Now if we had more Kiper fans they'd be going as ballistic as the idiots who are quoting from other draft sources & declaring that the Bills front office is messing up the draft.

I like doing 3 things at once on draft days-ESPN on the tv, WGR on the computer, message boards on the computer. I'm now down to ESPN & message boards & have lost the best local coverage available, including interviews with front office & players after the picks. I'd rather have my ESPN on my tv go dead than have to turn off WGR's draft coverage.

I'm listening to WGR & suddenly a hockey game comes on-and it's not even the Sabres! Why switch from the draft to a non-local hockey game?

Paying their professional scouts & not listening to the amateur who wrote the s##t you posted from. It's amazing that you read someone's draft analysis & think he knows more than the guys who get paid to watch & sometimes actually talk to these players.

You don't fill needs on day 2. You take the best player on your board. You fill needs & the TE or C you take busts in training camp. You have to stick with the board and if a guy sticks out on your board, you trade up & get him rather than waiting your turn. Day 2 is a total crapshoot & you never pick by position this late-that's why you pay your scouts & don't go on the internet to find out who the fans want. Anyone who is criticizing a 4th round pick or lower is being ridiculous.

And a Bills HOF RB has the killer instinct.

What I hate about this draft is the Jets & Patriots are each going to get a very good player.

They didn't hire Tom Donahoe.

Even though we'd never get it, you believe that having a disgruntled backup QB, who may never play a meaningful down next year and then plans on leaving after the season, is better than receiving a 3rd round pick, when there are veteran options no worse than him to replace him? I'm glad you're not negotiating anything a 1 Bills Drive.

I remember watching the draft in 2004 & when the logo switched from Dallas to the Bills I was celebrating because I knew it was for JP Losman. That's why I'm not qualified to be Bills GM & as it turned out, neither was Tom Donahoe.

As long as the Republican party sucks up to the radical right wingers, moderates will look to the Democrats as an option. The problem is the Democrats are too far left and the Republicans are too far right-so moderates usually decide by the candidates involved & don't care about what letter they have after their name.

Walt Patulski now does speeches for groups. A couple of days ago one of my co-workers stopped my my desk & told me he had attended a speech by a former Bill-Walt Patulski. I told him that Patulski is more successful in the business world than he was as a Bill. Here's a link to Walt Patulski's Touchdown To Success website: http://www.waltpatulski.com/

Lageman had a solid career in the NFL. He played 6 years with the Jets & with the exception of a year he was injured, was a starter. He then signed as a free agent with Jacksonville. If anything, the Jets were right about Lageman, who on draft day was going to go a few spots lower according to reports-so the Jets had to take him where they did or lose him-and Mel Kiper was totally wrong for saying they don't know how to use the draft when Lageman was picked.

Maple Syrup.

JP is going nowhere until we have his replacement lined up-that means a VETERAN backup, not Hamden, not a rookie. With just about all the decent veteran backups gone, JP stays unless the Bills work out a trade for a vet or a vet gets released and agrees to terms before JP is traded. A draft choice is meaningless without a backup to go with it. About the only way I see JP leaving is if he's traded for a QB with NFL starting experience, and not some way over the hill type like Trent Dilfer.

What he really means: When free agency started, we found out that a good veteran backup gets between $2 million to $3 million per season. That's tons more than our starter. Since he's already under conract & Edwards won't rock the boat this season, there's no cost benefit in getting rid of JP, so he's staying another year. Next year, when we have to replace him, we'll extend Edwards at starting rates and then we can bring in a new guy at $2.5 mil a season as the backup. It's politics & salaries.

That's not 100% correct. The last 5 years of my father's life were spent in a wheelchair. I was able to take him places & park with his permit on my car. They go with the person, not the vehicle-since he didn't have a vehicle. Now during those years I found 1 thing worse than someone who parks in a handicap spot-a person who parks in the blue space next to a handicap spot. I had a real tough time getting my father's wheelchair to the passenger door when some idiot parked next to my car in the place reserved for the person in the wheelchair to get in and out of the car. Anyone parking in handicap spots deserves whatever the police (or an angry citizen) can give them.

Jim Kelly met with Hamas? I hope he found a good WR & TE when he was over there.

I never thought he had a chance, the same as Carly-It's AMERICAN Idol, not Australian Idol or Irish Idol. The foreign born singers will always get fewer votes than their talent. Just look at how many people are up in arms over immigrants-then you expect them to vote for immigrants on American Idol?

Either God is telling her to get out or she tourched it herself for sympathy & the tears will be flowing soon. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080411/ap_on_...ton_office_fire
