This has been a tough week having to with posters like you, and it's made me far too cranky to deal with having to respond to this mindless banal, and plane disrespect from you and at least two other posters, jwssswhoever and Spartacus. As a result, I'm planning to take some time off this board to cool down and reconsider. I've got a busy week ahead of me, and there's no point respond to this baloney. As much as I could try to ignore it, it just rubs me the wrong way. To all those with whom I've shared many good and informed exchanges with, thank you all. It's been a pleasure. I hope to be back at some point, but at this point it all seems too trying to deal with. Sincerely, John Wawrow.

they did not. Vincent was placed on IR shortly into the season and then sought his release once healthy in order to sign with another team, which became the redskins. and when he sought his release from the Bills, Vincent made it clear he was not interested in coming back to Buffalo, even though he liked playing here. jw

he did, but that was after a a tough season in Oakland. players, in my experience, don't take kindly to being cut by a team one day and then having the team want them back the next, and for less money. ... now, i'm not saying it's not possible, but Rhodes might want certain assurances going forward ... and i wouldn't be sure the Bills -- having cut him already -- would be willing to commit. jw

was just on with Ross, and he shared his opinion with me. it's possible, heck, anything's possible. my one thought though is whether Rhodes is willing to re-sign with a team that just cut him. jw

and take the high road? ... hmm, never thought of that idea. might try it. thanks Steely. jw oh, one more: having responded to the wrong post in his/her response, and having been called out on it, jwwswhatever cringes at his/her "dora the explorer" computer and quietly mumbles, "curses, foiled by my own hands." ADD: gotta go. catch me in Sirius in a minute or so.

though, if i was fingon, don't know if i'd take offense because it appears he has a book deal on the table and has elevated to "journalistic genius," level. congrats, because that's far better than i ... jw (and fingon, no disrespect)

once again, re-read what i've posted, and must i once again type s-l-o-w-l-y for you to understand, because i don't think i have any reason to explain anything to someone who continually calls people as "idiots" and makes mean-spirited accusations that do nothing to forward the topics at hand. jw

buddy, you're so connected and smart, why don't you call Mr. Wilson yourself, that is if you have long-distance phone privileges from your parents. son of a ... jw

Bills were high on Palmer going back as far as minicamps. he did shine on a few occasions in camp. funny story: a good friend from a national publication was in town making the rounds of camps, when he asked me who i might think might be a surprise keeper. i said Palmer. not 5 minutes later, Palmer makes this crunching hit on a running back 2 yards behind the line that gets everyone's attention. what timing! jw

you're right, Chalkie. when's someone going to start a post and call it, this is the 9th last straw! jw

turns out the poster is a poor ex-"cuse" for providing news. ... sorry, couldn't resist. jw

no, that's 53, plus Hardy and Lynch. sorry couldn't come back with a list as I had to write. i expect Stupar, in particular, to get some attention from other teams, with the Bills likely hoping they can practice squad him. ... i think Cary Harris is also a practice squad candidate. Bowen was a slight surprise, but not really because the Bills were high on Palmer. And Bowen is eligible for practice squad. and i think at least one poster might be disappointed with Etukeren not making the team ahead of Maybin. ... jw

theyr'e out jw

just got an e-mail from our AP man in Boston, Jimmy Golen, who figures the Pats might wait til 8 -- not sure if he meant p.m. or a.m. jw

or pdt? jw

that's enlightening ... kidding. jw

and still waiting. jw

evidently, it's 6:04 or later, because i'm waiting, too, Tim. jw

one caveat: when it comes to trades, agents are sometimes the last to know, because the front office keeps them out of the loop. jw

you're the guy that heard the report. who reported it ... some high school station, espn ... and what sources did they have. ... a little bit more info would help. jw

just spoke to Jackson's agent, he's not aware of move. jw

you're very welcome. jw

since this is becoming a love-fest, let me say one of the main reasons i'm here has a lot to do with the passion and professionalism that Lori brings to this site, along with some very knowledgeable and capable posters, who i won't list in the event they'll take offense or take legal action for feeling libeled. but i've been reading this site for many years, and have been impressed by the mountain of information -- not all of it correct --and debate -- not all of it fair -- it produces. jw

it might be me, you know. i used to cover the Vancouver Grizzlies. ... jw

glad i got some chicken wings down at the festival -- place from Harrisburg, Pa., "Aroogles" or something like that was very good. oh, yeah. just confirmed tim's fine piece of work. jw
