Albany,n.y.

Davis is signed to a 1 year deal. Unless 2 receivers get injured, he's gone.

He was older & had a weaker leg by then, he had plenty of range during the Bills Super Bowl days.

If Polian was GM he would have called him in, told him he was putting him on IR until he was in the mood to play. Polian used IR like a fiddle back in the days when IR rules were different.

For the record, it was Nick Mike-Mayer who we kept over Gary Anderson. Mike-Mayer was cut after game 2. When the strike ended, Herrera was his replacement & played the final 7 games of 1982. It was the last year I lived in WNY & I remember the whole fiasco as if it was yesterday.

52 As long as you won't give me an age range, I refuse to click on the survey. If I answer it, you've got me as old as Bill In Livonia .

You might get an honest politician at a local level, but when you get into the $ it takes to get elected to high office, these people are always having to make some kind of sleazy compromise. By the time they get to run for President, they've lost just about all their honesty. The last 2 Presidents have been compulsive liars. One a Democrat, one a Republican-it doesn't matter which party they come from. The most honest President in recent years was Jimmy Carter, who got chewed up & spit out as President. I actually believe that guys who are President think that honesty is a character flaw. Ever hear someone say "He's too stupid to lie" ? These guys think "I'm too smart to tell the truth"

Dallas is only 1 year younger than the Bills, so I wouldn't count them. Tampa Bay fans have suffered as much as we have. Both teams have been the league's laughingstock at points in their history. Both teams lost the top pick in the entire draft. We lost Cousineau to the CFL, but fortunately retained his rights long enough to trade him for Kelly. TB lost Bo Jackson to baseball & he went back into the next year's draft & became a Raider with no compensation. We lost Kelly & Cribbs to the USFL. TB lost their franchise QB at the time, Doug Williams, to the USFL. We had a longer run than TB's Super Bowl Champ, but they have the ring. All I want is 1 Super Bowl win & all the bad years will be worth it.

I know this is going to drive the Flutopians and anti-Bledsoes nuts, but I think a strong case can be made that Bledsoe was better than Flutie. Both were here for 3 seasons. Flutie played for a team with a much better defense. Bledsoe started every game, 48 total in 3 years and was never injured enough to miss a start. Flutie started 30 games in his 3 seasons and missed the 1st 4 games of the 2000 season due to injury. Both had about 1/2 a season of greatness their 1st year with the Bills and then fizzled. Each made the Pro Bowl as a result of his 1/2 of a great season. Flutie may have been more popular with fans and was a good example of style over substance, but the better QB, with the Bills, pre-Bills and post-Bills is Bledsoe. With Flutie's teams D, Bledsoe might have been able to win a playoff game, something Flutie never did.

I get a kick out of the younger or bandwagon fans who view the Bills as a team of excellence whose recent down years are an abberation. The facts are that this team is down a lot more than it's up. I loved the late 80s early 90s teams, but the abberation was those teams and the teams of the mid 60s. Here's something to remember: This team went 22 years without a home playoff game from 1966 until 1988. We long suffering fans have seen things a lot worse than we've got now. Since the merger, we've had the worst record in the league as many times as we've been in the Super Bowl. I know this post is a bit of a downer, but in reality, there's a lot more hope for this team than some of the truly dismal teams with virtually no talent that we've had in the past. I think we've got a chance to get better in the next couple of seasons. If we don't I won't be giving up or start thinking this team has abandoned their history of winning, because the bottom line is the Bills have been losers a lot more than winners and the true fans have been there through the bad as well as the good.

People who actually think politicians are honest are living in a dream world. My philosophy when it comes to politics is to accept that they are all liars and thieves and vote for the crook who is more likely to push agendas that I support or vote against the crook whose agendas I don't support. The people who believe ANY President is an honest man really need a slap in the face.

Odds are one of the Dolphins' players is responsible.

The Bengals have been doing this for years, long before Marvin Lewis got there. The best of their gambles on a guy who was a thug coming out of college was Corey Dillon, a guy we passed on when we took Antowain Smith. We kid the Dolphins, but their picks are choirboys compared to the Bengals. When I see a guy with talent and a rap sheet, the first 2 teams I expect them to go to are Cincinnati and Seattle. For some reason, Mike Holmgren thinks he's running a halfway house for alcoholics and criminals. ...and speaking of talented players with questionable character: Bengals | O. Thurman suspended for four games Thu, 13 Jul 2006 14:35:08 -0700 Mark Curnutte, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals LB Odell Thurman has been suspended for four games of the NFL season for violating the league's substance abuse policy, according to a source close to the situation. The source said it was not necessarily a positive drug test that led to the suspension, as a missed test counts the same as a positive test.

Since you live in NYS, I can tell you why your house and most houses in NYS SHOULD be under-assessed. The typical assessment in NYS is for a valuation date 1 year prior to the date of the final roll. For example, I live in Bethlehem, which just completed a reassessment. For the final roll, established as of July 1, 2006 the inventory date is 3/1/06 but the valuation date is July 1, 2005. Therefore, if values have increased in the past year where you live, and you're supposedly assessed at 100%, in reality, you're assessed at less than 100%. Of course this assumes proper valuation. For example: Say your house was worth $180,000 on 7/1/05 and values have increased 10% in the past year. It's worth $198,000 today, but it should be assessed at $180,000. If not, it is overassessed. The reason is that the assessor needs time to compile the data necessary for valuation. At some point the data on sales has to end. NYS has decided on 7/1 of the prior year for the valuation date. However, since it is this year's roll, if your house had major additions such as a new area that added to the square feet of living area (or on the other side, burned down), your assessment is based on the physical status as of March 1st, this year. I know it's weird, but that's the Real Property Tax Law. EDIT: PS: It takes months for public records to catch up to sales. If any website is using public records (like from my agency's sales web) they won't be giving you current valuations. The reason that private appraisers and realtors can capture the market better than sources using government records is because most have access to Multiple Listing Service (MLS) which gives you the most up to date data. Recently, Albany County has put deeds on their website within days of closings, so a county may be current as well-but chances are pretty good that the assessor's office is, at best, a little behind the current market.

I found it to be a horrible site. I'm very familiar with the market in my area. There have been 16 sales of homes comparable to mine in the past 3 years, including 4 this year, all within 3 blocks of my house, yet Zillow couldn't come up with a value and has my lot size as .08 acres instead of .28 acres. If they did so poorly in an area loaded with comparable sales, I can't imagine how bad they are in other areas.

It's one thing to express your views, it's another to try to impose your religious beliefs through legislation, which is the aim of the "pro-lifers" a term I believe is an oxymoron since many pro-lifers are in favor of the death penalty. When you tell me I should believe in your God, I can tell you to buzz off. When you legislate your religious beliefs and throw me in jail, kill me, or ban me from your country as a result of my not accepting your religion you become (our friends) Saudi Arabia.

He has it upside down. JP will emerge as an elite QB and lead us to the Super Bowl Championship, while Ben Roethlisberger's face will fall off and he'll be forced to miss the season awaiting a face transplant.

A few years ago one of the preview magazines had worst first picks in the entire draft-Walt Patulski "won".

I'm against the murder of women based on their ability to buy safety. As for abortion is murder, that's your opinion. If it's based on a religious belief, then it's your right not to have an abortion. Trying to get others to follow your religious beliefs is intolerance. So you're for intolerance?

When it's based on a religious belief, as it was portrayed in the tv show, it's an example of intolerance because you are trying to impose your religious beliefs on others who do not have the same beliefs. It goes back to the premise that your religion is the right one and everyone else's beliefs are wrong. I would classify that as intolerance. I don't know if you're old enough to remember when abortion was illegal, but back then poorer women had no option to get safe abortions and many ended up dying, while the rich were able to travel to places where abortion was legal and safe. People convieniently forget why there was a need to make abortion legal, because women were having them and it being illegal wasn't stopping the ones who wanted an abortion. It was only making it a life threatening decision for the ones without a lot of money.

Sage Rosenfels.

It should have said Eric Moulds caught 81 passes for the Bills last season, but his per-catch average of 10.1 tied for the lowest of his career, he asked for Kelly Holcomb, he got Kelly Holcomb.

Safety courses teach to lock them. I drive with the car door unlocked because it's a habit I developed early since one of my early cars would not open until you pulled up the knob to unlock it. My current car opens as if it was unlocked when locked, but I still keep it opened unless I'm driving in a seedy area.

When you're in the fastest growing state in the USA, yeah, they do. Supply & Demand. More people moving to Nevada, homes will cost more until enough are built or people go back to where they came from...or they all gamble away their $ and get foreclosed on.

Staements like that cost John Kerry the presidency. "I voted for it, before I voted against it" -dumbest thing ever said by a presidential candidate.
