Godawful for sure. But 2000 is the weakest NFL draft I can recall.

I was in first grade at Gardenville in West Seneca. We actually went to school that day. The snow came so fast- we got snowed in. They opened up the cafeteria for dinner. And I slept on my classroom floor with my nap rug. I was awoken in the middle of the night by a teacher- and some stranger loaded their car up with me and a few kids and drove us home in the blizzard. I got dropped off at the end of my road, and had a couple block walk home. I remember it dumping snow, and being blown side to side from the winds. I stayed outside as long as I could trying to savor the storm. But I was tired and headed home after awhile. I will always remember that late night walk in those conditions!

lets get Art Schlister down here too

I agree 100%. For example- Kitchen Aid mixers used to be made by Hobart and were industrial strength. 25 year old Kitchen Aid mixers blow away the new $350 ones. Light bulbs are designed obsolesence. There is a light bulb in California that has been on almost continuously the past 112 years. We have the technology for light bulbs that last a lifetime. But greedy mother!@#$ers have light bulbs engineered to expire often so we continually have to purchase them. How is that for progress?

What items do you think used to be better made? For me- two come to mind- Levi's. When I was a kid, a pair would last me a year- even though I would play street hockey in them, football, climb fences, etc. Now I find they tear easily, and rarely last 6 months. Also, jeans used to fit properly. For the love of God, can I get a pair of Levi's that doesn't show the crack of my ass? No baggy jeans please, and I am not a fat ass that needs loose fitting. I just want a 1970's pair of Levis. Lighters-remember when concert goers would hold their lighters? Try doing that now. Lighters are inferior today. It is a short flame, and they run out quick. Thank you Beavis and Butthead and reactionary, kneejerk zealots. What item do you feel is inferior today?

keep our draft picks, sign Byrd and Levitre, and forget about Revis

FIFA and the NHL have flow, and are quite watchable IMO. The NFL has on average 12 minutes of action- and yet takes almost 4 hours to watch. Damn shame the greedy mother!@#$ers ruined a beautiful game

I have two funny stories about friend's cars stolen. One friend had a defective gas tank gauge that always read full. He had to write down miles and keep track to make sure he had gas. So one morning he walks out to his apartment parking lot- and his car was missing. Thief stole it, and ran out of gas on 95 and hoofed it. Well funny thing was there was $3000 worth of electrolux vacuums in trunk. Second story, I picked up a girl I used to date in New Haven. We headed east over Q bridge in New Haven and we see a car broken down on side of road. She says "hey, that looks just like my car". It turned out it was. It was stolen and broke down And Dank man, I am sorry for your situation and hope it works out for you

Look at the bright side fellow Bills fans. There are no front running Bills fans. We are true, bona fide Bills fans. And the funny thing, once the Bills become a juggernaut, people will accuse us of being front runners. Haha

Sounds very bitter

http://blogs.knoxnews.com/woodbery/2012/12/mel-kipers-latest-on-tennessee-prospects-cordarrelle-patterson-justin-hunter-and-others.html ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper said today that he believes Tennessee junior wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson could be a mid-first round NFL draft selection. If he stays for his senior year, Kiper said, Patterson could go in the top five overall picks

I do watch the Bills online occasionally from a private feed, commercial free. And I find highlights online. But commercials were a deal breaker for me. 20 years ago commercials were barely tolerable. But now it is total overkill. Money is the ruiner of all things good. I suppose if the Bills made the playoffs I would go to a friends or a bar to watch. But now I root for them without watching them

replace Te'o with Cordarrelle and I would be ok with any of those 10. Please don't reach for a QB at 8 spot

I would pay to watch some bills games as long as they were commercial free. As of now, I haven't watched the nfl or TV for 2 years- and find both unwatchable due to commercials. And I am not missing either

I am sold. We have many holes- mainly QB, LB, and WR. I am not impressed with any QB this draft and feel we should never reach for need. Ogletree is intriquing at LB, but I am concerned about his size (210). We need talent infusion and can't whiff at 8. And Patterson brings a lot to this team at a need position. CJ and Patterson would be flat out electric. Sign Levitre and Byrd, draft Patterson, then draft heavy at LB and take some stabs at QBs round 3 or so

Dark and Stormy is a big drink in New England sailing towns (Newport, Essex, etc). It is Black Seal Rum and Ginger beer with slice of lime

During the power outage from Sandy, I would go buy a newspaper to see what was going on in the world. If the internet goes down, the newspaper is very relevant.

I would trade a 4th for Smith, keep the Amish rifle, and draft a QB in the first 3 rounds to groom. QB depth would be outstanding

money is the ruiner of all things good

vick is not the player he was and not the answer for the Bills. I question what he brings to the locker room too. We need a good young QB who can lead this team the next 10 years

Maybe they are Russian?

Te'o is as close to a sure thing there can be. It is a mediocre year for QB's and IMO not much separates the top 10. Draft Te'o and roll the dice which QB is available in high second round. And don't !@#$ up and beat the Jets this weekend

that would be such a Bills MO

we have sucked this entire millenium and then some. Levitre and Byrd are our two best players not named Spiller. If we let them walk and receive zero compensation(like Pat Williams, Clements,etc) we are even more incompetent then in the past. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results
