  1. PUNCH! IMO, anything east of Syracuse is Giants territory. I think that's a big reason Brandon sets up camp in Rochester. It's approx. 60 miles from Buffalo and Syracuse making it an easy drive up the Thruway and it's a chance to dig into the Syracuse fan base. JMO
  2. Well that's one less **** that doctor has to deal with now Glad to hear all is well. Now go get some hot wings and hot peppers and hot chili for dinner!
  3. A seventh round flyer? Why not? The kid might have learned his lesson and realize he's letting a great opportunity slip away.
  4. Could be talking about Duke Preston?
  5. The only way Curry falls to the Bills is if 10 GM's smoke a lot of crack before the draft.
  6. The FO refused to give him a contract extension unless he showed up and they could look at him first. They held fast to that ideal and when the Bears didn't care about looking at him first before giving him a contract the Bears paid a price for it. All the while the Bills turned a potentially bad trade into a very good one. No luck just intelligence. JMO
  7. He had to have been joking about that.
  8. Thanks. It's amazing he's lived 40 years with Lou Gherig's disease. A brilliant mind trapped in a useless body.
  9. The guy never came here but the Bills managed to get a better pick than they gave up for him. I'd call that a very smart way to make lemonade out of lemons. I think the Bills FO came out looking pretty damn good. Especially when you consider that he only played one season for the Bears. JMO
  10. A lot of people didn't realize that Spikes was going to be cut anyway and the Bills picking anything up for him was a good trade. The McGahee trade was a steal for Buffalo as was the Stroud trade. People keep busting on Russ but he's made a lot of great moves as GM.
  11. Hopefully the Bills will be able to put one over on some team! He was a second round pick from Greggo's last draft. Please God let Greggo have a big say in trades for N.O. If you heard that right then it sounds like the Bills are close to a done deal with another team. That would be highway robbery! I think the Bills are stockpiling picks in order to do some draft day trading. Teams in the top ten have a lot of holes to fill and will probably want a lot of draft picks to help fill those holes. I'm hoping that Buffalo can package some of these fourth round picks into low third rounders. If that's the plan then I'm all for it!
  12. 40 times are so overrated IMO. If the guy can get consistent first downs who cares? He's an incredible blocker and by the Bills first pick there won't be any LT's that are decent left.
  13. And you know that how?
  14. 30 years old I hope Edge has a plan for those kids. I wonder if he'll take them in himself? What an incredibly sad thing to happen to those kids. I also feel for the people on this board who have lost a loved one to that disease.
  15. That's not a Haiku. Try again.
  16. From the link above; Snyder, the Washington owner, has one pick in the top 75, the 13th overall. He was willing to trade that pick plus next year's first-round pick and something else to get Jay Cutler from Denver to replace Jason Campbell at quarterback. That failed, but I'm told Snyder is beyond smitten with Sanchez and will likely pursue him this week. How can he do that? He's going to have to part with either his next two first-round picks, or a slew of picks, including this year's one. God, I hope Sanchez is still on the board when the Bills pick comes up. Extremely unlikely but it could happen. Factoid of the Week That May Interest Only Me Virginia tackle Eugene Monroe has a 60-year-old brother. Quote of the Week I "Jason Peters is the best left tackle in football.'' -- Philadelphia coach Andy Reid, after dealing first, fourth- and sixth-round picks to Buffalo for the Pro Bowl tackle. Not last year he wasn't. This week, Buffalo owner Ralph Wilson checked in with a donation that blew us away. That can't be true because Ralph is sooooo cheap. I think if I were Buffalo GM Russ Brandon, I wouldn't be thinking, "Eleven's too high to take Brandon Pettigrew.'' If I couldn't trade down four of five slots (and, as you can see by history above, the Bills don't trade much on draft day), I'd take the best all-around tight end to come out since -- well, since maybe Jeremy Shockey -- right there at number 11. Brandon seems to be more of a wheeler dealer than the recent GMs. I think you have a very good chance of seeing some trades with the Bills this weekend. JMO I think, as I examine the Jason Peters deal -- first-, fourth- and sixth-round picks, with the first-rounder the 28th pick in Saturday's draft -- I think the Eagles got the major edge. "Other than Anthony Munoz, this is the most devastating blocker and pass-protector I've ever coached,'' said the retired and well-respected former NFL line coach Jim McNally, who mentored Peters from being a college tight end to one of the premier tackles in the game. "He's a terrific player and a good kid. What happened to him in Buffalo, I think, is he saw two linemen come in and make a lot of money [Derrick Dockery, Langston Walker], and he looked at them and said, 'I'm better than they are; why aren't I making that money?' And it really affected him. I think he'll be a dominating player in Philadelphia, and I don't think the money will affect him.'' We'll see. I think I'm all for maximizing my draft booty, but I think the Bills are going too far in trying to deal Roscoe Parrish. He's one of the most dangerous weapons in the game, and I'd rather have four or five Parrish touches per game -- and the threat that each carries with it. Parrish is worth far more than the fourth- or fifth-round pick he'd bring back to Buffalo. I agree for a fourth or fifth round pick it wouldn't be worth it. If the Squealers want him then I'd want their second round pick which is essentially a third round pick.
  17. McNabb is gonna be on the toilet all day just thinking about Haynesworth dealing with Peters twice a year.
  18. Oh my. I missed the prom reference.
  19. Linky no worky. Just keeps loading. ETA got it working
