I agree. We re-signed White when Fred got hurt - - so the team wanted a 3rd RB on the roster. Assuming Fred can't go against NE and Spiller's injury is minor enough to avoid IR, do we have designated utility man Brad Smith take a few snaps at RB in practice this week? If he can run the wildcat, seems like he ought to be able to learn a few relatively simple plays so he could take a few snaps as a disaster RB if Choice or White get hurt against NE. Or do we let Dickerson learn that role until either Fred or CJ can play?

There's some pretty funny comments at the link - - to paraphrase my favorite: The guy just liked some cushion when he was pushin'

My brother Darryl says they shoulda just put it up on blocks, like everybody else.

Mozart - - I'm not all that big on his music, but from the period pieces I've seen at the movies, there would have been some real babes flaunting their assets at his concerts.

So . . . . if he follows your advice, and does whatever he wants to do, then he's listening to you, and he will wind up just sitting in front of his keyboard like the rest of us . . . which is not a desireable outcome for a young, single guy. So I guess logically, his best course of action must be to do the opposite (which I might add is what I suggested above that he do so he could get the same kind of results as George did on Seinfeld). Seems pretty clear that logic dictates that he do what we tell him to do - -right?

Maybe she's just got the sharpest tool in the socket?

Should there be consistencalf finials? Absopony simians!

If those knolls were grassy JFK would still be alive!

Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting would find this "ironical."

If the Bills and Rogers Media can renegotiate the existing five year deal so that Toronto could give back a preseason game, there is no reason why the Bills can't sign a new five year deal, wait until the state puts up the money for the stadium improvements, and then renegotiate the new deal to give Toronto another regular season game. I'm not saying the Bills will do that, but it strikes me as a possibility. When the Bills asked Erie County for permission to play 1 regular season game per year in Toronto, the County said yes and got nothing in return. Given how eager Erie County is to sign a 1 year lease extension, Ralph has no reason to think that the County would resist taking it up to 2 games later. He just has to make the same "regionalization to save the franchise" argument that already worked once. If the state buys the Bills argument that the state will eventually get back the $220 million or so from the NY state income taxes that the Bills players pay, moving one more regular season game to Toronto would have very little impact on the NY state income taxes paid by those players. One extra game in Toronto only moves about 2 "duty days" outside the state each year. Just my 2 rubles.

Well you asked for it straight, so here goes. Did you ever see the episode of Seinfeld where George decides to do the "opposite?" If telling her your bored(ing) and being apologetic isn't working, you might want to take a different approach. She thinks she has you wrapped around her finger and can go back to you any time she wants. Because you've decided that "she's the one," everything you do tends to reinforce that impression. My take is that you need to give her the impression that you're a good enough catch that if she puts you in the "friend" box, other women will be getting in line to take her place. Pulling that off may be tough, but it's your best shot at getting where you want to go with her. The good news is that the idea that there is only one person out there for you is a romantic myth. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and you're probably compatible and could be happy with many of them. You just need to get more creative about how you fish (if nothing else, this video link should cheer you up a bit): http://unofficialnetworks.com/carp-hunters-epic-fishing-77212/ Chin up!

I haven't fished in a while, but I may need to take it up again: http://unofficialnet...-fishing-77212/ (make sure you click on the embedded video) They should show this at home games against Miami.

1. Apart from the fact that a self-described "onerous penalty" for breaking a contract is totally unenforceable in court, it's great! 2. Ralph only got the right to put his name on the stadium because the existing 15 year lease granted stadium naming rights to the Bills during its 15 year term. When the existing lease expires, those naming rights revert back to the County, which owns the stadium and land. When the parties negotiate the new 1 year lease, the County should retain the stadium naming rights, and force Wilson to take his name off the stadium. Wonder how Ralph would feel about having to visit the new wing of the football hall of fame to see his name on a football building?

Just curious - - how do you envision that happening?

A far less than comprehensive search effort failed to turn up the actual complaint filed by the "Play Fair ... Coalition," but I did find a few more details about the suit here: http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/09/04/49904.htm I doubt that this suit would permanently derail downtown LA stadium plans, but it could slow the timing. The fact that a law school professor who teaches constitutional law signed on as a named plaintiff indicates to me that the constitutional challenge being raised is not totally off the wall. Hard to say more without seeing the actual complaint. Just my 2 rupees.

For a little more on the current status of plans for a new downtown LA stadium: http://www.latimes.c...0,4319446.story http://www.scpr.org/blogs/news/2012/09/13/9955/aeg-builds-la-new-convention-center-hall-make-way-/

Given the abundance of burnt orange shirts, I'm thinking its a Longhorn lecture hall, so I'm gonna go with: "Why did the Bills cut Vince Young? I'll tell you why the Bills cut Vince Young. Nix grabbed Thigpen's balls like this and squeezed until he gave back a million bucks, that's why!"

Assuming that his comments about strategy were accurately reported below, Marvin Lewis disagrees with you - - but then again he coaches the Bengals: http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/02/the-strategy-and-consequences-of-the-n-f-l-coin-toss/

Dumb question - - if we win the toss and "defer," doesn't that mean that the Jets have to make the choice about whether to kick-off or receive to start the game (and we get to make that choice at the start of the second half)? I was under the impression (could be wrong) that teams that win the toss and "defer" usually start out on defense because the other team will usually choose to start the game on offense. So if our goal is to guarantee that we start the game by playing defense, don't we have to actually choose to kickoff to start the game, rather than deferring? Given the well-publicized offensive struggles of the Jets in preseason, they might also prefer to start the game on defense, if we give them a choice by "deferring."

Good stuff - -thanks!

So why even bother to study other teams' tendencies if you can just rely on "big dog" talent?

Anybody know when the Bills began closing some of their practices to the media? I suspect that the "best" stuff gets installed after final cutdown day, but if Hagan particpated in any practices that were closed to the media, I would think he has at least some non-public information about the Bills' offensive plans. Otherwise, why close those practices to the public? Besides, NE has dominated the AFC East for a long time, and the Phish are going to be starting a rookie QB this season. So Chan has to figure that the games against the Jets are key to making the playoffs this year. He has a lot of incentive to be extra prepared for this season opener, and I don't know if he would want to rely solely on this week to install everything needed for the Jets game.

So why did the Pats* get punished for violating league rules about videotaping opponents' signals, if talent is the only thing that matters? If talent was the only thing that mattered, there would be no reason to outlaw such videotaping.
