Gawd I hate watching games on Fox...

Free league, unlimited moves. Of my original draft picks I've now dropped Joey Porter -> Chris Henry -> Troy Brown -> Bernard Berrian Aaron Brooks -> JP Losman Matt Bryant -> San Diego Def David Akers -> Matt Stover David Givens -> Amani Toomer Randy McMichael -> Owen Daniels Vernon Davis -> Jason Witten

We don't have IR or waivers so I did go ahead and dropped Davis for Witten.

Should I drop Vernon Davis since he's out at least 4 weeks and maybe pick him up again when he's healthy?

I will also try to remember to include a reminder in my announcements.

OK we know how Mularkey for some reason forgets he has tight ends. Add to that Daunte's issues and McMichael's dropsies and I figure he's good 4 nuthin. Vernon Davis is my other TE, but he just broke a leg and is out at least 4 weeks. I picked up Owen Daniels from Houston who is having a good year so far with 2 TDs already. Other possibilities are: C. Baker (NYJ - TE) M. Bruener (Hou - TE) E. Johnson (SF - TE) B. Scaife (Ten - TE) D. Wilcox (Bal - TE) W. Heller (Sea - TE) R. Owens (Min - TE) B. Fletcher (Ind - TE) A. Bergen (Ari - TE) D. Campbell (Det - TE) A. Smith (TB - TE) J. Witten (Dal - TE) G. Wrighster (Jac - TE) M. Schobel (Phi - TE) D. Graham (NE - TE) B. Troupe (Ten - TE) R. McMichael (Mia - TE) D. Lee (GB - TE) B. Franks (GB - TE) S. Alexander (Den - TE) D. Martin (GB - TE) J. Putzier (Hou - TE) B. Utecht (Ind - TE) R. Kelly (Cin - TE) M. Pollard (Det - TE) Thoughts?

Director: "Can you do that ketchup thing again, the light wasn't right" Kenny:

I'm no longer winless, and I think I climbed out of the basement for total points too. Friggin Carnell Williams, man... With Portis coming back I benched Carnell and that worked out pretty well. Reggie Bush & Chester Taylor are my other 2 RBs. I picked up Amani Toomer last week and started him over Joe Horn and that worked pretty well too. The guy I faced had been 2-0, but LaDanian was on a bye so he had to start Travis Henry.

I hate it when that happens...

NICE! Did you find out why Kenny didn't show at the Big Tree after Danny's?

That's damn rational of them.

As always it's about the people - renewing old acquaintences and making new ones. In that regard the tailgate just keeps getting better and better. I was sad that several TBD tailgate mainstays were not with us this year, including Bob Lamb, Lancaster Steve, Mark VI, & bill in Livonia (We hope you're feeling better Pat!!!). Sid & Tyrone and their epic jerk chicken were also missed, although Guffalo and Theesir did cook up some mighty fine ribs, and Rich in Joisey's wings were very tasty also. Cablelady - you gotta stop with the limos. Apparently some people are not meant to ride in style. NOTE TO NFL - no more starting us with 2 road games please . While the rain mostly held off for the pre-game tailgate, the wind was formidable. If there's any way we could play Houston in Buffalo on week 1 every year that would be great. Ticket girls were once again stellar. Big thanks to Nikki, Kalene, and Laura for their enthusiasm and salesmanship. I did like having the raffle this way - assigning tickets to items. It did speed things up and make it more orderly. Thanks again to Sully's Stadium Sportswear for donating many raffle items - please make sure you visit Sully's whenever you need Bills gear and mention TBD for a discount. Big thanks as always to Hammer for his help with the tent, setup, and great parking process. What did people think of the new parking pattern? We put cars across the front rather than side-by-side on the road. It seemed to block the wind a bit and created a more contained cooking/sitting area, and also gave people an easier exit. I liked the bigger tent, even without the weather the way it was. Should we make that permanent? I wish we had remembered to make one of the silent auction items into an item that was only for the people who paid their tailgate fee, as we did the year before. I heartily agree with Rockpile's comment on Danny's, although I was thrilled that Guinness pints were only $3! And it was nice of Danny to just give me one of the Labatt's Bills pint glasses - I guess that's what happens when you buy 6 or 7 (or more? ) pints from the same person and tip well... There was some talk at the Saturday Night party that the tailgate has become kind of passe' and people have lost some of their enthusiasm for the event. I'm not sure if that's because of low expectations for the team, having to wait until week 3 rather than week 1, the weather, or some other factors. I'd love to hear from others on this. To Cindy & Jack - my co-conspirators in setting up this great endevor: Great job as always guys. There's no way this would happen without your hard work and it is greatly appreciated. This years' T-Shirts rocked! Thanks also to my lovely wife Melissa for her sacrifices to allow me to fly solo this weekend. Next year would someone make sure that I don't forget my suitcase at the hotel? Thanks in advance I guess that's about it...

I only took 8 again... http://sports.webshots.com/album/554352698HMxTgt

Actually the winds were coming across the field from the Bills side, hitting the Jets side, and swirling around. Those of us on the Bills side were relatively protected - I bet those poor sods in sections 105-115 are really hurtin.

He reportedly showed great interest in R. Rich

with the iffy weather forecast we decided to increase to a 20x30 tent instead of 20x20. It'll have side walls so hopefully we can cut down on the wind that's forecast for tomorrow. We're going to be setting it up @ 4PM, so if you can be there to help out that would be great.

I'm wondering if there's any way they could make that site any slower. The creator of that site was at Kenny's tailgate at the last preseason game
