I was told that TD wants to go back to the old leather helmets and high-top cleats for the "throwback" uniform. Don't worry about the colors... they'll all be black & white and shades of grey. They didn't have color TV back then. Seriously, I sure wish they'd bring back the great jazz band that used to play for Bills games in the corner opposite the Dodge St tunnel at the Rockpile. They were really good.

He worked at WBEN for awhile before he left town, not while I worked there, but back when my mother was on the TV side. She always had nice things to say about him.

I think most of them ARE high school punks

with the new rules that allow no contact at all with receivers downfield, my guess is that the game will be seriously opened up this season. Maybe we're on to something... like the second coming of the chuck and duck game. If thats true, then stocking up on receivers will be the best plan and would explain the choices to all of you.

I wonder what it would be on crack?

my take on this is that if they were so stupid, they couldn't have played college ball. You know, they wouldn't remember any plays or where their assignments were, etc. In reality, it is just another crap shoot that guys like Kiper use to become draft gurus. Likewise, I assume that some of the TSW regulars are equally as challenged, judging from the posts they put up. Either way, it makes for interesting entertainment.

We can still get line help tomorrow. The guys we likely wanted for OL and DL slots were gone before we picked. Those that proposed trades, remember it takes a willing partner. I for one, and not elated, but not disappointed either.

so, it proves why we aren't on MNF, right?

But, Losman won't be in the middle!

The variable here is whether Law acknowledges that his value is less since his ankle injury last year. The broken record keeps repeating that TD does not overpay FA's (ours or anybody elses) and in order to make this work, and get a LG and get a backup RB and get a DT and get a TE and get a LT or C.... Mr Law will have to take a modest offer. I'd love to see it, but doubt that it will happen.

Like you said... "Who needs Travis Henry?" Answer: Apparently, no one.

So, you're the first to crack, eh?

Holcomb is likely to want an opportunity to compete for a starting job. That would eliminate him from consideration. At his age, he would be foolish not to try to be a starter for somebody. We will do better finding a vet that is willing to sit and help the youngster.

"I completely disagree and can't understand their point of view." Maybe that is exactly why he is not in our future plans. If your QB is not on the same page as the coaching staff, you clearly have to make a change. For whatever reason, it seems Drew feels that the team's direction was the problem. For this reason alone, I am glad to see him go.

...and it was a stinking, sloppy mess.

There is little doubt that from the NHL's perspective the AHL is AAA. It is their chosen farm system. It is not necessarily the best 2nd tier hockey in North America. It surely might be on any given week, depending on how the prospects develop and who might be sent down for rehab etc. It is exactly this kind of thinking that spelled the DOOM of the IHL. There were clearly many times that the talent level in the IHL far surpassed that of the AHL, but sice the NHL's blessing and financing were not behind the IHL, their payrolls for being the top 2nd tier league drove them to bankruptcy. I do not want to see the AHL make that same mistake and go down the path of the IHL. In the minors, the real winners are those that turn a nice profit. If the NHL really goes away for awhile, or for good, the AHL can kiss it's behind goodbye. At the same time, the ECHL and UHL will be just fine, thank you. Damned good hockey at a fair price.

No way... we signed Owen Pochman. We're set at K for awhile.

If they had profit sharing, most of the players would have to pay back their salaries and again some just to cover the losses. The NHL, not unlike soccer, is a second-rate sport in the US and will never command top dollar for its athletes. This is clearly a case of the "Peter Principle." The league has risen to the level of its incompetence. We have some real fun out here with the UHL, though. After a few years of playing the players get real jobs and are an asset to the community. Tickets start at $11 and the whole family can have a fun night out for a fair price. Reminds me of the old Bisons games at the Aud in the 60s.

Now, who will undercoat the Bills vehicles?

I had that set too. It was called "Girders & Panels" and was made by Kenner. I have not ever seen them since, so I assume they are long since discontinued.

Tell us... What kinds of drugs did you get busted with? (just kidding, of course)

Add the Bills to that list. Ice says JP is a bust.
