Lurker Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 agents typically worry the most about money. Also, the connection with Tannenbaum and the agent. All things being equal, you generally try to support your friends... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 the Bills Mafia needs to tweet him (@70LaelCollins) and make him feel welcome/needed #bring70toBuff Show the man what real fans are all about - players these days love that social media attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingant Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Are we going to have a news conference with Bills and Dolphins hats on the table and then he puts one on? That would complete the picture Just so he doesn't say "I'm taking my talents to South Beach". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryPinC Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yeah I misread it and deleted my post. Maybe it's picking up more recruits! Ha. +1 That was my first thought, goin' to pick up the posse! I have no links but do believe Russ Brandon instituted the full court press for targets when he came to power, so I like to mention that for his naysayers. It sure makes off seasons a lot more fun too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Other than weather, don't understand why he'd go to Miami. There's no clear path to play Tackle and Philbin is a dead-man-walking if they don't make the playoffs. So he gets to play Guard for a mediocre team for most likely an entirely new coaching staff the following year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Checked out that flight tracker and saw this. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/XSR394/history/20150505/1220Z/KBTR/KBUF Thats awesome that the jet can be tracked haha. Not so much that they went home though. Like others said, maybe they are flying home to pick some people up. Is Collins meeting with the Dolphins in Baton Rouge or Miami?

Chuck Wagon Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Unless Collins is on that plane or unless we see an updated tracker with it heading back to Baton Rouge, I don't like our chances. Like I said before, his twitter is full of stuff from Landry, Sheppard and Johnson. I assume we didn't bring him in pre draft and they did. We had our shot last night, the deal didn't get closed, now the Dolphins get to put their full court press on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 put him on the jet to Bflo and then give him a tour of Wegmans. An O lineman in Wegmans.... perfect, with his parents behind him in confusing colors just to throw people off. They can do it at LSU and have a pep rally first. Why so he can steal a bunch of crab legs? Oh wait wrong person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Haha Miami fans on twitter are ripping on Philbin quite a bit. "This is looking better by the minute. Good move to send those guys to neutralize presence of Philbin." and "shoulda left Philbin home. He will screw up the deal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Does the Port part mean it's directly on the water ?? J/K. Like I said, events like that are rare here. How long before that happened was the last storm ?? How long ago is a few years back ?? 2 big storms coming by in 50 years isn't something that's going to make it that much more, unless the place is really low (like New Orleans' bowl).It was 2004, hurricanes Francis and Jean both made land fall along the Treasure Coast. More Vero Beach than Port St Lucie. Port St Lucie is on the St. Lucie River, not directly on the coast. I think they both made land fall as cat threes. We were evacuated for both. The next year was when there were so many named storms that they got into the Greek Alphabet. We got hit by Wilma, a cat three. No one was evacuated because they thought it was only going to be a tropical storm. It was pretty scary. We haven't had a major storm since. The gulf coast is more susceptible to storm surge because it is shallow and shaped like a bowl. The insurance is expensive, but I'm not sure it would off set a state and city income tax. When I lived in NYC my federal, state and city taxes totaled 55%, but that was awhile ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) #70to716 CBF I have as much or more respect for old people than anyone. But John Fina? Really?

mitchmurraydowntown Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 you said 1 bad hurricane .. I was pointing out there were more.. And my moms insurance is high in Leesburg Move along son, Let me know how many bad ones she's had. Your Mom could also be overpaying as well, which after reading the verbiage of your post is about 99% likely. Apple's never fall far from the tree.
