Lt. Dan's Revenge

When you are 16 years old, pretty new to drinking at the time, kill a whole bottle of cheap vodka at a beach party with a bunch of friends, are camping out on the beach in a massive tent, and later proceed to sleep walk to the corner of said tent in the middle of the night, whip out your junk, and take a piss inside the tent with about 5 or 6 other people sleeping in it. Not one of my proudest moments.

If we sign the two Brandons - Spikes and Pettigrew - I'll feel much better about where we stand. A little disappointed that we didn't make a run at Austin Howard and Geoff Schwartz, though. Still time to fill some O-line needs...

The Mandarin Oriental and The Fairmont Copley Plaza are both very, very nice. Pricey, but nice. I've gotten lucky in the past using Priceline.com and found myself getting cheap rooms at both of those hotels. I'm a huge Sox fan myself, and trust me, just being at Fenway Park for a ballgame and walking around Yawkey Way and Lansdowne before it starts makes the trip well worth it no matter what else you do. I'll concede that the hotels are pretty damn overpriced, but you face that in virtually any big city. Particularly Boston though, since it is smaller than New York and therefore doesn't have as many options hotel-wise. I think the dining is fairly priced and out of this world. I would stay away from Legal Seafood. It's just okay, more of a chain. Some of the best seafood I've ever had in my life has been in Boston, though. Island Creek Oyster Bar, Neptune Oyster and Pauli's are great in the North End. Atlantic Fish Company in Back Bay is very good. Also a couple along the waterfront (Which is an excellent area to be) that I can't recall the names of. Try those local choices rather than Legal. Overall, I find Boston to have a very similar feel to Chicago, another city I absolutely love. Scaled-down versions of New York City with more college-like atmospheres, unique cuisine and historical hot spots. I love the feeling of being in a "Big" city, yet still being able to get away from the hustle and bustle without actually being away from it. I think Boston provides that.

I love Boston. What don't you like about it? I mean, I don't know if I would love living there, but I've visited dozens of times and always enjoyed myself.

Yep. I'm a Boston vet, and the Back Bay is by far my favorite area to stay. Lots to do and see, great restaurants and bars, easy to get to Fenway. I love the Back Bay area.

House of Cards and True Detective for me. I still need to watch the entire Breaking Bad series. Needs to happen soon.

Love it. Became a good player last year. Has the chance to become a great player.

For every 6 or 7 ridiculous posts, there's a pragmatic, realistic one like this. Thanks.

UGH. What the hell leverage did the Bills had to trade Byrd when every other team knows that he wants out, not to mention the fact that they would then have to sign him to a long-term deal?!?!?!? Did you want to get a 5th rounder for him instead of a potentially much higher compensatory pick?!?!?!? I'm going to need therapy after 15 minutes of this thread.

I think you're right. The bottom line is that Byrd is a very good player, not a great player. Earl Thomas is a great player at the position. As were Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu for a good chunk of their careers. Byrd isn't quite on that level. NFL teams know this.

Aaron Williams will be a very good player next season if he is positioned to play the same role as last year. That's why you need to find someone else to replace Byrd if he is gone for good, I wouldn't even think about moving Williams to FS. Why turn a strength into a weakness?

Yep, that's why that was a terrible point.

Is Alan Branch not an asset?

If he isn't going to take a deal to stay here that may have made him the highest paid safety in the league, what the hell makes you think he'd even play under a tag???? They didn't tag him because they must (correctly) think that they can get a good compensatory pick from him for whatever other team pays him a boatload of money.

Good riddance.

Should have used a stripper to lure him into the 'glades.

Why? Large constricting snakes like Pythons have been known to take down alligators and crocodiles over the years. Including in Florida's Everglades. They have a big time Burmese Python issue there right now. They're killing everything.

Chu is ridiculous. I haven't seen a category that he has really struggled with in the 4 or 5 episodes I've seen during his streak. Even the best of the best Jeopardy contestants usually come across certain categories that they struggle with. Not him. Hope he keeps it going!

But she probably asked God for forgiveness, so it makes it okay, right?

Similar ability to move in the pocket, which is Teddy's biggest strength, but not near the arm strength as Rodgers IMO. That being said, there are only a handful of quarterbacks on the entire planet with comparable arm strength to Aaron Rodgers.

I'll go with a few of the guys many Bills backers think are in play for us... Sammy Watkins - A slightly smaller version of Andre Johnson. Greg Robinson - Tyron Smith (Yeah, he's going to be good). Eric Ebron - Vernon Davis with a little less speed. Many of the same traits, though. Jake Mathews - Jordan Gross. Khalil Mack (Don't think there's a chance in hell he's there, but just for fun) - Terrell Suggs. I like your Vincent Jackson comp for Evans, Biscuit. Right on.

I'm a big time Bama fan and therefore avid SEC follower, and it was definitely a down year for defense in 2013. Even Bama's was not quite as good as years past. LSU was awful compared to the handful of years before that, as was Florida. The second best defense in the SEC was probably Missouri's, and we all saw what Auburn did to them. BAD year for SEC defenses, for sure.

Mario Williams did 35 reps, had a 40.5" vertical and ran a 4.7 at the 2006 combine. At 290+ pounds. To me, that's much more impressive than anything Clowney is doing at 265.

Yuck.

Two things you mentioned have zero chance of happening - The Bills will not draft a corner back with their first pick and there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Mike Evans is there in the 2nd round.
