Jeez, I don't know if there's any place here in Albany that you can get just 4 pitchers for less than $40. Also, much to my dismay, 'pop' isn't even available here. All they have is 'soda'.

I'm disappointed w/ seeing Blackmon go. Based on the results on the field, he seemed to have done a decent job. Likewise, Szabo. Although Gray being an ex-CB & Secondary coach, he might not have been primarily responsible. FWIW, I recall reading that he & Gray had disagreements.

How 'bout Parrish (he's small) & Evans as the Took (Perigrin & ??) brothers? Sam Adams has the build of a large Gimli.

I would look at it more as we have a credit on what we already have allocated, but it amounts to the same thing. Don't take my word as gospel, but I assume your assessment is essentially correct. i.e. cap = $80m, we currently have $70m, so $10m space. SA had $1m of LTBE 2005 bonus not earned, so either we now have $69m allocated on an $80m cap or as you view it, $70m on an $81m cap Same diff.

Perhaps a pseudonym for Allan Johnson or vice versa?

I just looked at BB.com staff link (wanted to see if anyone was missing )& IIRC, don't we have a couple of other coaches? Specifically, a TE/off asst/quality guy and a Asst ST? Thanks.

Google is a marvelous thing.

Why doesn't he build it on the remains of Meigs Field

I noticed in one of the later games, probably NJJ, there was a shot of Clements & Mularkey on the sidelines. TC had a cheatsheet & was communicating into the mic while MM was basically just standing there. Unless MM basically pulls the calls out his butt, tells TC who then relays them to the QB, it sure looks like in that game, TC was primarily responsible for them.

Levy made the comment that Moulds was the best he's ever seen. Statistically, I believe Wallace Francis is right up there. He only did it for a short period of time, so although I was following the Bills at the time, he didn't leave much of an impression on me. OJ did it the beginning of his career. I never saw him do that (a few years b4 my time), but based on seeing him in the open field on plays from scrimmage, I bet he was awesome (his stats bear that out).

Donahoe would've probably considered it a compliment. Good kickers are a dime a dozen, you know.

I'd like to add Mike Williams regression to this list as well. How can it be possible that someone of his natural ability (& productivity the latter part of last year) not be able to contribute to what is clearly a sub-standard OL? I think/hope that this is an issue that can be remedied.

probably not. Probably so. Considering in both games the offense only scored 2 TDs, then yes, it is conceivable. The more important question w/ respect to this one, is what good did it accomplish? Did it get us any closer to the playoffs this year? Did it likely improve our chances for making the playoffs next year? The answer is no. I would think he's declined from his prime, but even w/ his stellar production these last 2 weeks, I still don't think he's worth the >$5m cap space retaining him will cost. The problem is that this brings even closer to light the issue of why can't he/we be this successful on a more consistent basis? Is it coaching, blocking or him?

East Rutherford, NJ is the largest city in the US?

Hey, it's better than a stick in the eye. But only marginally.

I understand that he's not healthy & can't play, but does anyone know if there's any benefit to put him on IR? I don't know of any, so why not just make him inactive? I see that we activated Goldberry so the question is will he join Gates on the inactive list or is he actually going to play & spell Shelton?

Geez, I was expecting one of those to be a link to the Peter Pan fairy. His daughter (Linda Bogdan?) is one possiblity.

How do you know that he actually writes it himself? I doubt it myself. Seems to me that he would be a VERY busy individual whose time was EXTREMELY valuable. As such, a far more efficient manner of producing a column such as that would be to have him dictate the content and then have someone else actually write it and possibly also apply an unknown amount of editing to the content.

Presumably, the original source of the quote was oral. Particularly, if one doesn't enunciate well, it would be very simple to interpret an "em" to be "him" rather than "them". We've all seen the sometimes rather humorous and sometimes ridiculous quotes on bb.com which are often attributed to this.

I play volleyball. Up to 5 times a week, one of which is on a team that plays at a relatively high competitive level. (The rest are pickup & usually more recreational in nature.)

Reminds of what I believe is a true story. I think it was Jim Ritcher's kid, who when asked what his father did, replied, "He plays for the lowly Buffalo Bills" apparently cuz that's how he always heard them called.

Miami. 1) cuz we blew it (more than other games) 2) cuz we lost to a weak team 3) cuz it was MIAMI!!!

I'll speculate that it's similar to the practice of doing so at the end of an email. (I do neither, BTW.) Perhaps a holdout from the bygone days of snail-mail letters &/or notes where the sender isn't previously identified.

NO. But possibly promoting him from DC to HC was. Great Coordinator, lousy HC.

Calling Holcolm's 3rd down passes RJ-like is entirely wrong. That's one thing that RJ would seldom do & that is check down. If it was 3rd & 25, he'd sit in the pocket until either someone was open on a 27 yard route or get sacked.
