  1. Graham's agent is cheap!

     

    They aren't the 1st and 2nd round studs, but they're also not the 4th and later "hopefuls."

     

    Exactly. Or as I like to put it, "Gettin' PAID" vs. "Happy to Be Here." TJ and his third round brethren are somewhere in the middle. Once someone at the top budges, the rest will fall like dominoes into a de facto slotting system. This isn't about greed or spite or anything else. These are the guys who probably won't be set for life with their rookie deals. I don't begrudge them or their agents at all for treading carefully.

  2. Get your boy up to the fence by where Johnson is when they end practice. A lot of the players will go right to the fence to sign stuff. I do not remember Stevie particularly, but Fitz does for sure and gives away the QB waist towel etc (my youngest got one last year and was thrilled! :) ).

     

    My wife has noticed that two groups of people get things signed at the fence, cute kids and hot girls (go figure ;) ).

     

    Thanks for the tips! So we should have no problem then. My wife is hot and our son is super cute (I'll just be sure to hide my ugly mug). He's only 2, so I'll probably hold him up or put him on my shoulders.

     

    I do seem to remember reading something about an autograph tent with designated times and players. Will keep an eye out for that too. Especially since we'll only be a few miles away, we can be flexible with our schedule.

  3. I love WNY for the summertime. The Canal, the Finger Lakes, the Great Lakes, the Genesee River. Letchworth State Park (where my wife and I got married). I love the fall. I love ice skating outdoors. I love not having to search for good pizza, good wings or good Italian food. I love the proximity to Canada. I love that the crappy weather makes you truly appreciate good weather.

     

    Oh, and the Bills.

  4. Always entertaining to read the Pats* fans comments. Of course they see us as much of a threat as a mosquito. I hope the players think the same way.

    Typical chowderhead nonsense. I especially like the guy calling out Anderson for being no more than a situational pass rusher. I'll take a situational guy with 10 sacks any day.

     

    I wouldn't expect any more from a city that only discovered it had a football team 10 years ago.

  5. See, that's why I feel we're hearing these rumblings re: the ownership question now, while lease negotiations are going on. I don't think you can seriously talk behind closed doors about either issue without addressing the other. So, that leads me to believe we'll be hearing about both the stadium and a possible succession plan this summer.

     

    But of course the caveat is that I don't know sh*t about sh*t and this is based on nothing but how it all sounds in my head. Along with the voices.

  6. When a trusted, long-standing member says they know something, that carries weight with me. It's not like some jamoke with 2 posts talking crap.

    Oh, for sure. I'm not accusing him of making sh#t up. I can appreciate being told by someone in the know that something good is happening... But when no details can be given, it can set others even more on edge (myself included).

     

    Assuming Ralph is still with us on this mortal coil and keeps his word the team will not be sold while he's alive, I'm guessing (purely just guessing) that this has to do with stadium lease negotiations keeping the Bills in Buffalo long term. Hell, maybe Ralph is even making a succession plan known, as I would imagine the topic came up during negotiations with county officials.

  7. I get being the guy with the secret, wanting to let people know you have a secret, even if you can't let them know details. I just don't get the point, other than hoping to be known later as the guy who was on the inside. I'm guessing your heart is in the right place and you want to let us all know we can rest easy? I'm not sure it actually helps, though.

  8. Darn kids these days with their hippity-hop and their rockity-roll.

     

    I'm pretty sure New Era fitted hats have come with a flat brim since forever. It's up to the user to apply bendination as they see fit. So what if the kids wear them all crazy these days? Young people and their wacky fashions have been pissing people off probably at least since the first dude put on a powdered wig, if not before that.
