I called a few days ago, I only carry DTV for the NFL, so I pay 29 a month all year and then the NFL package. I explained I didn't want to pay 360 for the full year just so I could watch 7-10 games a season for an additional 260 or whatever they were looking for. I asked to be cancelled. They offered new channels for free, then additional NFL packages for free, but I wanted the NFL free. She kept saying we hate to lose a loyal 14 year customer, yada yada, but I said if it isn't coming for free, I choose not to pay 29 a month for the option to pay an additional 260 for football.
Unless they call back within the next week, I will be watching local games (Giants and Jets) and will use my seasons a bit more. My couch will have less people on it, but my wing costs will decline with the lower attendance.
It was a nice run, but I think I am done with DTV.
I've been with them for 15+ years. I got the run around once 2 weeks ago ( I did not go to retentioni dept then). I them e-mailed them and got a direct # to the retention dept. I haven't called them yet ( I am letting the steam lift). They're going to get 1 attempt to get this right or I'll be an ex-directv customer for a very long time!
I really hate calling to beg to get better pricing. I understand it's a business but there has to be a better way.
BTW my contract is up 9/23/13, I;ve warned them that could very well be my last day with them.

Yesterday, I caught some of Sirius' "moving the chains", they basically said that the starting LG might not even be on the roster yet. They also mentioned the day before that we could trade some DL depth for a LG.
Those 2 have a great show, I almost wish my drive home was longer so I could listen longer.

PK: "Robert Woods reminds me of Donald Driver"
It's been a lOOONNNGGG day. I read that as Donald Jones.I was like WTF we spent a 2nd rounder on him.
Thanks for the updates.

Anyone else concerned that he skips TC, then pulls a hammy or tweaks an ankle... and misses 4-8 games rehabbing.

The Bills FO has gone this far. They absolutely can not bend on the 'No tag next year' clause. Otherwise their stance will be a giant waste.

I could see us winnig 4 game before I could us winning 10. Rookie coach, QB and WR plus one of the worst defenses the NFL has seen in a while. Let's hope it really was the wrist and the coaching that led to this.
I hope it's 10 wins but i'd be satisfied with team improvement and EJ playing well in the last 6-8 weeks of the year. Maybe 6-8 wins.

I'd prefer it was JESUS, but that's proabably a different conversation that has nothing to do with football.
Dareus has to step up or that bust label will begin to fit like a big glove.

"He is well respected around the league."
Not sure where that came from.
It's been a long 15 years rooting for this franchise. I'm Thankful that ol Ralphie isn't running the show any longer. However newer doesn't have to mean better. I'm still hopeful that it will be but only time will tell. If it's not it will bother me less and less each year. I think the term is apathy.
-
He does sound good, doesn't he?
What a refreshing change. A respectful, hard working, well spoken young man. Please God let him be a great QB as well.
-
Agreed. They just have the worst QB situation in the league though, IMO, and it's by far the best place for him to go and the best chance to make the team. I wouldn't have thought it was really possible before the draft, but he could even land on the practice squad and not be a real threat to be picked up.
True. As a 3rd string UDFA he's not only competeing against QBs in camp but other late august QB cuts.He's probably in the best summer training camp but it's not a given.
-
I think the Steelers telling Bray that they were going to draft him was only a smokescreen to get Landry Jones' dad on board.
Bray's best bet is by far at KC anyway, They have a shaky starter and crappy back-up and a head coach not afraid to pull a QB. He'll make the 400K or so that is the minimum this year and continue to be an overly cocky project.
This assumes he makes the team. Most UDFA's don't (being an imature tool won't help him), so the 400k is not guaranteed.

Lawrence Taylor.
It's got to be LT. Joe Gibbs invented the H-back as a way to slow him down. No other linebacker had a position invented to stop them.

The was written by a "Bleacher reporter", but it was well written and well thought out.
McShay really is a TURD.

I too miss the Saturday and Sunday draft weekend. The Thurs-Sat is growing on me. Especially the reset on Friday @ 6 and Saturday morning.
I usually consume adult beverages and lots of bad food, while the wife watches Greys Anatomy...
For those of you turning off after we pick @ 8, you may miss a trade back into late 1st for a QB.

Viking want to move down in the first road to take a WR for losing Percy Harvin (Patterson, Austin).
We pick up their 23rd or 25th and also gain another pick in the 2nd round to help them move up at least 15 spots.
Pick up our quarterback here and possibly our WR and LB in the 2nd that could possibly be starters. If our WR or LB is there that we wanted to get rid of we take a TE.
Thoughts???
It appears to be a buyer's market (more teams want to trade down) but I would want something more than just a 2nd to move down that far. Maybe next years 3rd rounder as well.
the chart says 1400 for 8th. 760 for 23, 390 for 51st and about 175 for next years 3rd. this would work for me.
Now make it happen Buddy!

I wonder if other fans rank their team's seasons or eras of futility like we do.
We can choose from so many. We could do a top 10 easy.

Great photos!
Clearly the pre steroid HGH era. Not a 265 lb 4.50 forty guy or 500lb bench presser it that group. The NFL really needs to get back to that.

Wait... What happened to Levitre? Did I miss something?

Nothing wrong?
Ignoring glaring holes which you have the opportunity to address but choose not to could be viewed as wrong.
The Bills FO never does that!

Why are people speaking as if the Bills offered two 2nd rounders?
The rumored deal is that Kansas City gave up a 2nd rounder and a conditional mid-round pick that might be as high as a 3rd rounder.
If the Bills offered two 2nd rounders, you can be sure the Niners would have traded him to Buffalo.
Lets not bring up unknown facts. It has to be 2 two's. (conditional picks always = a 2nd)
Thank goodness we didn't do that as AS sucks and isn't better than Fitz and would not have taken us to the playoffs. Maybe we should send the chiefs a big thank you letter. Afterall what does ANDY REID know about quaterbacking in the NFL?
-
Didn't Cosell on NFL.com say he's a 4th round value? why reach in the 2nd round...

The 49ers were singing Hallelujah when Smith got hurt. They had their opening to make the change and did. Still got beat up a little over it but clearly they didn't make that decision based on a game or two with Colin. They had to have been thinking about that for a while. Look at Smith's numbers compared to Fitz's, the only thing he has over him is interceptions. If you don't like Fitz you would have disdain for Smith.
1/2 the reason Fitz has to go is becuase he is an interception waiting to happen.
I think ASmith would be a nice gap for a year or two so the Bills wouldn't have to reach this year in an awful draft class of QB's.

Peter King recommended the book a few years back when it was 1st published. Words can not say enough what an awesome book. If you liked him as a football player you'll like him even more for the person he is off the field.
It is a must read for football fans or If you know anyone dealing with "C".
