  1. If you really want to give credit to the original source... My link
  2. Great player, but the Bills need someone with size.
  3. I am glad he bought in WNY. An article TBN wrote in Feb 2012 spoke about how many players and coaches only rent in OP and its surrounding areas. IIRC Rob Johnson lived in a hotel the whole time he was here. From the article: Just passing through Bills General Manager Buddy Nix affirmed last month the team would spend up to the NFL's $120 million salary cap, introducing a few dozen millionaires into Western New York who wouldn't normally be here. Giambra noted that works out better for the state than the county. Albany would rake in between $9 million and $10 million in income taxes. "How much money is really put back into the community from 30 millionaires?" Giambra asked. "The answer is more to the state than to the local community. Maybe they buy a house and a couple cars here, but most of that money leaves with them." Or maybe football players don't buy those big-ticket items here. Many players bring cars with them to training camp. Luxury vehicles in the St. John Fisher parking lots are dotted with out-of-state license plates. Real-estate agents The News interviewed dismissed the idea that losing so many millionaires would undercut the housing market in Orchard Park or Hamburg. NFL coaches and players not only tend to rent here, but they're also known for trying to break their leases when the season is over. Terrell Owens was given a key to the city, but he rented. Ralph Wilson doesn't own a house in Western New York; he has a condo in Williamsville. Head coach Chan Gailey rents. "Not one Realtor would be impacted by the Bills not being here," said Maureen Flavin, an agent who specializes in high-end properties and has represented several Buffalo Sabres and Bills clients over the past 20 years. "So many of them rent, and the places they rent are highly desirable. I could rent those places out in my sleep. There are way more people who want to rent than places to rent."
  4. Wow, that is unreal. Are they trying to beat out the Jets for the most dysfunctional locker room in the NFL?
  5. Lolo Jones has to be one of the hottest women on the planet.
  6. They were discussing this on PFW Radio Show this AM. It is a low risk high reward for the Pats. He will be on IR this season, but probably will be ready for 2013. The question will be how well will he be after microfracture surgery and the ACL Repair?
  7. More than six wins will improve upon 24
  8. He is a starting center in the NFL, he can drink water with ice cubes or an appletini and that rates a 10 out of 10 on the manliness scale.
  9. So you are saying Nix might actually know what he is doing?
  10. After defeating the Bills in the AFC Championship Game? Yeah I could see that.
  11. Don't forget that WNY is located about two hours away from North America's Fifth Largest City, hence the reason a game is played there every year.
  12. Since it has not been said Warren Buffet is cheap!!
  13. One of the biggest Bills Fans Ever. He is greatly missed.
  14. Naw..BillsGuyBackInAlbany does have the same ring to it.
  15. With Tim Graham's contacts in the league, especially in AFC East this blog is going one of the premier sources for Bills Info this season.
  16. Training camp and a new lease in about a month and a half, this is going to be fun.
  17. Great Stuff, interesting interview.
  18. Does he get props for Mario knocking Brady and Smith out of consecutive games?
  19. I do feel bad for aj zepp, since they had to wait for Mike Richards and Jeff Carter from the Flyers to win it.
