[How Many People Were Screaming For Whitehurst?]

There was never a clamor for pursuing Whitehurst here. That is just a figment of your imagination. Isn't it a little early to assess any player at this point? Players are playing in shorts during OTAs and trainng camp hasn't started yet. You are right that most analysts felt that Seattle paid way too much for the qb acquisition. Seattle believed that they had to add another qb to their roster because there was some concern about Hasselbeck's health and durability.

Most people were like Huh? Who? on the few threads that did pop up.

[NY is giving the Bills $3Million]

Yeah, I'm sure if we didn't have the Bills that $3M would be put to good use elsewhere.

[NY is giving the Bills $3Million]

One sentence in this article about the state budget spending....

 

$3 million spent to keep the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo, a deal made with the NFL team over a decade ago.

 

Is this a recurring payment every year?

 

Isn't that the annual maintenance funding they get every year?

[Who wins the battle at the #2 WR position?]

Easley is our Marques Colston this year

[Wood is back on the field]

Where are all the people who were adamant that his injury was career ending????

 

Cool, only took 3 posts in for someone to turn positive news into calling others out. Rock on TSW!

[Jamaal Brown to the Redskins]

Brown will sign his RFA tender of $3.619 million, and extension talks may begin down the line. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Saints' compensation hinges on the Donovan McNabb trade. If McNabb makes the Pro Bowl, or the Redskins win nine games or make the playoffs, the Eagles receive a third-round pick and the Saints get a fourth. If none of those happen, the Eagles will get the fourth-round pick and the Saints get the third-rounder.

Ha! Jared Gaither for a 2nd rounder, my ass! Well played Mr. Nix.

[Jamaal Brown to the Redskins]

It will set market value for this offseason.

 

OMG, this is the most important transaction this decade! Oy, the implications!

[Why Lynch Missed Today]

Friggin' idiot convention in here.

[Terrell Troup]

I don't know, but I am glad someone in this thread is already half drunk at noon

[Rookie Play by LT Bell]

Seeing as he wasn't active for any of the games in 2008 I'm not sure he was wrong.

 

Why not? Just because he didn't play? He was drafted in 2008, and on the roster, not the practice squad. Then he started in 2009. 2010 makes this his 3rd year in the league. Calling 2009 starts his rookie campaign is inaccurate, though I'm sure the owners would like to violate the CBA and call 2009 his rookie year.

[Coming from out of town to a game.]

Well if you're looking for a Steak and Cheese or Chicken Finger Sub

 

Yes please! I can make a cold cut sub at home.

[Rookie Play by LT Bell]

After listening to the Gailey presser, it sounded like he was mistakenly referring to last year as Bell's rookie year.

[Coming from out of town to a game.]

100 better sub places? youre wrong and thats a stupid comment. There are better sub places for sure. But the fact of the matter is that you can get a damn good sub at a friggin grocery store which happens to be a well respected place for their quality etc. People who arent near one drive 45 mins to shop there (see DC area folks).

 

You dont like wegmans thats cool but you cant name 25 better sub shops i bet

 

Hi Danny. I must have more discerning taste. I wouldn't drive 45 mins for a sub from there. And I do like Wegmans, just saying in my opinion their tailgate type food is just average at best when compared to other options.

 

As for 25 better sub shops, any mom 'n pop shop in local neighborhoods are better, which would easily add up. JMO.

[Coming from out of town to a game.]

To each their own. I've been to Wegman's plenty, and if that's gourmet then standards are pretty low. I mean it's OK, comletely average, but nothing to brag about. I'm not believing my ears when people rave about, for example, their subs?! Wow, Buffalo has a TON of great sub places, but Wegman's isn't in the top 100 IMHO. And it's not just the subs I'm talking about either - wings, pizza, etc. You can do better.

[Coming from out of town to a game.]

PTR - seriously store bought prepared food tastes better than food made at a tailgate? I guess you've never been to a good tailgate then.....

 

I tend to agree. Must be attending the wrong tailgate if store bought prepared food blows your tailgate away.

 

That's how I like 'em.

 

Buffalo blasphemy.

[NFL Game Rewind]

WOW! And people complain about DirecTV price hikes.

[Coming from out of town to a game.]

Anchor Bar for the best wings and atmosphere, Duffs if you like them swimming in a pool of sauce.

[Coach Sal show on now]

i heard cowher is talking to the bills?

 

[Seahawks Still Quite Interested In Lynch]

I hope we can get a 3rd rounder from them for ML.

[Bills player= Kenny Powers?]

Aaron Maybin.

[Leodis Mckelvin]

Awww, come on man,

 

Its DJ's recipe

 

What is that exactly? Fried eggs, pasta, and pickle juice?

[Nfl sunday ticket; Who's signing up?]

BTW, for those who subscribe to HD Access, thanks to the recent DISH promotion of free HD for life, DirecTV has responded with their own promotion (although not publicized). If you subscribe to the Choice package or above, and have auto pay, just call in and get free HD Access set up on your account for 24 months (hopefully it will have gone away by the time that expires). That's 24 x $10, which is free money if you call in to get it. Just passing along some info.

 

EDIT: This is on top of any other pricing discounts you may have been able to obtain as part of haggling for Sunday Ticket.

[Nfl sunday ticket; Who's signing up?]

Know what Time Warner has that DirecTV doesn't? A "Start Over" feature. Miss the beginning of a show, or tune in during the middle? Simply "Start Over". No need to have the show already recording.

 

DirecTV DVR's have dual live buffers of 90 minutes each, which if used wisely can serve the start over function, and a whole lot more. And it works on ALL channels, and without locking the system up.

[Maybin Running With The 1st Team]

I thought the big strength of Maybin's game was his supposedly unbelievable first step off the snap. Not sure how that's gonna help him now that he's playing 5 yards off the line of scrimmage. I'm hoping for the best, but wouldn't be surprised either at someone else taking this job.

[Nfl sunday ticket; Who's signing up?]

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

 

I love the web viewing -- especially since I'm usually out of town for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

Short Cuts is also great -- lets you watch a few extra games in not a lot of time. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's garbage.

 

To each his own.

 

Absolutely. I love the red zone channel. And the price is right - it's all included in the Sunday Ticket (except the web viewing part - another $50). Not sure why crankypants is complaining about innovation, when it's part of the package.

 

Also forgot to add the game mix channel - 8 games all on one screen, and all in HD.

 

Must suck to be a slave to a provider you hate, and for 348 days out of the year they don't even have the product you're there for in the first place. Now who's the dumb one in that scenario?
