S***. And I was really looking forward to Sunday. Might as well not watch it now.

Will no longer be an issue in about six days, three and a half hours from now.

I just want to say that I just got back from an awesome road trip where me and my buddies just drove from Denver up to the Bighorn Mountains along the Wyo/Montana border, checked out the Battle of Little Bighorn battlefield/moument, soaked up nature, cleansed our souls, I just get home, psyched to read coments about the Bills and this is what I get? McGee/Florence/McKelvin/Corner/Youboty warrant a C+? in your book? Who gets an A? Deion Sanders/Rod Woodson and Darrelle Revis as the nickel corner all in their prime? Allow me to be the 50th to say: you are a douche! I can't f'n wait for Sunday. Go Bills!

Hell yeah man, me too. But I will take the points though, just in case.

Rob Gronkowski on the Pats is gonna be sick. You heard it here- he will be the next Antonio Gates. Brady absolutely loves this guy. 4 preseason TD's, 6'6" 265, can catch and block with the best of em. I took him in the 14th round of my draft, I recommend you do the same. And yes I may be a little biased- I also went to North and although I'm older, my bro is friends with the family. There's actually three. There is a third brother- Chris I think- on the Cowboys, who is fighting for a roster spot as a FB.

Yes I am.

Are you in fact the real Merle Haggard and if so, are you retiring from posting here? I'd imagine you could get some good material for some heartbreaking country tunes on here.

OK guys, it's about time you knew. I am in fact Pete Metzelaars. Fire away, ask me anything, I won't shy away.

How'd you become a Bills fan? How far did you grow up from The Headquarters?

If you really did play for the Bills, then I can tell you that I met Ernie Warlick at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport flying back to Buffalo two months ago and he was such a class act, I can't even put it into words. I realize he's a few years before your time, but if you really played for the Bills and live in Buffalo, I'm sure you guys have crossed paths. I'm only 31 and when I got back into town and asked my Dad if he knew about him, he basically got pissed at me and condescendingly said, "of course," as if he was disappointed I didn't know about him. I've since seen him interviewed on the AFL special on HBO and now realize what a great player he was in addition to being a great man. And by the way, no offense, but you're coming off a little like you think you're batman or something. One thing about people on this board is that they pay deference to their elders and respect the old school squads. The only people immature enough to say you suck are the young punks who surely wouldn't remember you anyway. Why don't you just take off that mask?

Nice.

Lavarenues Coles is so washed up at this point, I can't imagine anyone's gonna sign him. He was already washed up two years ago on the Jets and then last year he was non-existent for Cincinnati. I wouldn't dream of taking him over Evans/Johnson/Parrish/Jackson/Nelson/Hardy. I'm psyched about our receiving core right now.

I think you'd almost have to be crazy to think they're not going to make the playoffs. I mean, first off, they get Trent at QB. Case closed. The guy oozes with confidence. And if he ever got hurt (which he won't- he's extremely durable), you got Fitzpatrick and the proven winner, Brian Brohm waiting in the proverbial wings. Won't miss a beat. We are loaded at wideout with proven talent- guys who have done it for years in this league like Stevie Johnson, Chad Jackson, David Nelson and Donald Jones from the football factory Youngstown State. At Offensive Line, you have Demetrius Bell- his athleticism is undeniable and his ability to not get false start penalties is unprecedented in this league. Cornell Green had to be pried away from the perennial powerhouse Oakland Raiders despite their begging and pleading for him to stay and should give us a huge boost over last year's starter- I seriously can't remember who and I'm not kidding. On defense, our linebackers should dominate the field this year and fall right into the new scheme with as smooth a transition as possible. Paul Posluszny may as well be Ray Lewis in his prime. I mean, he's white, has (had) flowing locks of blond hair and he went to Penn State! He's blue collar just like us! And on the outside, you have Jeffrey Torbor- who the Dolphins must have made a mistake letting go and the one guy who gets robbed of a Pro Bowl appearance year in and year out, Chris Kelsay. And if one of them is not up to the task, you got Aaron Maybin. The kid shows such passion and class by playing his guts out- even if it's in the 4th quarter of a preseason game against 3rd stringers- and gets everybody riled up into a frenzy when he makes a routine tackle against fellow soon-to-be-released undrafted free agents. Seriously, goota like their chances.

J.P. Foschi

Nicely done. By the way, I think he's serious. Last year he tweeted that the first people to respond to him in Pittsburgh he would take to the mall and buy them stuff and he did. And then he took another group of people to the movies. I'm willing to bet that if you could find him at the airport he really would be down to hang out. The dude is crazy. In a good way. I actually he think he's pretty cool.

Can't open at work, what does it say?

Did you not watch the first two games last season before he got hurt? Yes, he got hurt against the Colts, but did you see the play? Anyone would've gotten hurt on that one. It's a rough sport. Give him one more chance, he's only gonna miss a game or two.

Hopefully it'll be Sack Lunch for Maybin on Saturday...

The entire Jets coaching staff, with the exception of Henry Ellard, comes off like the biggest bunch of dicks I have ever seen in my life. I honestly think that they took those comments from Dungy and said, f*** it, let's all start swearing even more. I'm on Dungy's side 100%. You do not have to drop f-bombs every other word to get your point across and assert your authority. I've watched every episode of every season of Hard Knocks probably twice and every other season, I've found myself secretly kind of pulling for the guys on the team until this year. I'm making it official: I now hate the Jets more than the Patriots. I hate Mark Sanchez. I hate Rex Ryan. I hate that gimpy special teams coach. Oh, I have to like Rex Ryan because he's an a**hole? Because they were 7-7 last year before they went up against a bunch of scrubs? F*** the Jets, Bills for life.

Do you still use crayon for the majority of your written communication?

Seriously how can you be any better of a punter than Brian Moorman? The guy should be like a 98 if it's just relative to your position.

What I'm saying is, don't you want our first round pick to WIN the job???

Why? McKelvin was our first round pick just two years ago, showed unbelievable big play ability, led the NFL in kick returns and steadily improved his coverage skills as a rookie, played in just one game last before getting hurt, is fully healthy this year and looked AMAZING in his first preseason start. Yet you're hoping to the creator of the universe that a journeyman (albeit a solid journeyman) starts over him? Got it.

Wouldn't be shocked to see Chad Jackson run with the ones this week.

And this is why you're on the practice squad.
