Parade will likely be July 29th. The Bills will kick off camp on Friday, July 28, and break camp Thursday, Aug. 24. Eight night practices are tentatively scheduled for Aug. 1, Aug. 3, Aug. 8, Aug. 10, Aug. 14, Aug. 16, Aug. 21 and Aug. 23. Per D&C

Oh, I'm glad you're looking into it, I was just saying that "unofficial" approval wouldn't be enough in this case.

Here's the thing though: the Bills would have final approval over design content. I doubt that they would allow a copyrighted image on a stone unless you had a release from the copyright holder. I really think you'd likely need "official" permission.

...for the Yucatan... Wow, you guys in England have heard of Monty Python?

It's on their Moment of Glory CD (also on the Little Nicky soundtrack CD), according to some links off of GG's site. Or you could probably nab it off of any legit download site. The title is actually "Hurricane 2000" so it shouldn't be that hard to find...

If Paul were here he'd probably wonder what all the fuss was about. But with regard to how Paul would handle this situation for another, we can only guess. Based on what little I knew of Paul, which seems to be clarified by many posts here, he wasn't one to promote his good deeds. When he helped, he usually helped as anonymously as possible. If someone started a thread on the Wall about a problem they had, and he had advice to offer, he usually wouldn't post the advice to the thread, he'd send a PM. He likely took the same approach to charitable donations, as it seemed to fit the code he lived by. He would likely not want to put his name, personally, or in aggregate, on something that was donated. So not only do I share the "fuddy duddy" view with Ken and Jack, that putting even an abbreviated logo feels too "look at me," but I feel that Paul would feel the same way. But, as Ken already said, those of us who object can simply find other ways to honor him. Since most are either ambivalent or feel that it's "our stone/BiB, it should have our name," that's cool, go ahead. Paul might get some amusement from the people who look at the brick and say: "What does this mean: 'In memory of Paul and Darlene...To Be Determined'?" What's important to me is that people seem to want to do something good on his behalf, and I would heartily encourage those who feel that way to find a way to do it, through the "TBD" paver or another means.

...or "In Memory of Paul "BiB" Lewczyk and Darlene Lewczyk"...?

Congrats papa!

If you're talking Snidely you'd have to get past trademark issues....

So is it supposed to be a memorium or ad for tbd? I understand it would be from the people at twobillsdrive.com, but to me it feels kinda tacky to say as much on the stone. We know who donated it on his behalf, why the need to tell the world? Probably just my own mentality when dealing with donations, etc, but you asked what I thought....

HFB!

Still ruffles your feathers when people ask you that though...

What does chicken/egg theory have to do with Civil Engineering?

The egg came first.

No, it was Tampa and Mike Williams.... Sorry, this was brought up a couple times in this thread already, so I had to throw that out there...

$1.49: The Price of (a 40oz of) the Beast.

I remember when he admitted to having it. He's also doing voice work these days, voicing a penguin on the children's show Oswald.

Well, as we all know, the Patriots, in being able to keep a team together for their historic run, know exactly what a player is worth and offer no more than that. The Bills outbidding the Patriots only shows that the Bills overpaid for Peerless... I, too, am concerned about whether he's the Peerless we knew and moaned about, or whether his experience matured him to the level that he realizes he needs to do more than catch passes when he's wide open to succeed in the NFL. With the fact that he will have to fight to be a starter on this team, hopefully that will entice him more to block and actually catch the ball over the middle. If not, there's always George Wilson...

Is this another "Hayseed Dixie" or a legit bluegrass group covering Metallica for kicks?

It's the collective "no place to go but up" mentality, I guess... Maybe we'll actually get close to winning a game this year...

Gee, you didn't mention that Jamie Farr was there! Saw it smack-dab on the front page of the Batavia Snooze! There's a good set of pictures on the Bills' page.

I figured we had stopped with the "camp fodder" updates when I searched his name yesterday, but the Cooper signing made me go ahead and post it. Unless someone mis-spelled LaShaun on here... Bio. Spent last year out of football. Two-way player in college, has had a cup or coffee or two on the active rosters (mostly practice squad), but played a year in NFL Europe. Looks like he was brought in to play CB.
