Terry Tate

Just great. I lived down the block from a Bills' legend, and I never even knew it. I think they lived on Woodmere on the opposite end of Millwood from me, but I never went to their house. I would just see Lenora in school and around the neighborhood from time to time riding her bike. I was in Lenora's grade in middle school. I remember her as an all around sweetheart of a girl. Yet another reason to regret my wasted youth.

Did Tom Day have a daughter by the name of Lenora?

That truck blew up at the quarry off Wherle Drive about 1000ft away from my house on Connection. I think it was full of blasting caps. It was heard up to 30 miles away. That'll wake you up first thing in the morning.

If riders who crash are dying because there's no bucket on their noggin, there is no one being forced to pay their hospital bill - they're dead. Why does something that's common sense need to be legislated?

I watched until halftime. Highlights were: a shot of "all the Miami fans" in the crowd and there's a young kid up front, pulls his hat off and holds it out at the camera and yells as he's pointing at the BILLS logo on it. and the sign I saw that said "LACES OUT DAN Congratulations, Ray Finkle"

I'm hoping it stands for Jack Pot. I'd be willing to accept Jet Pilot or Jet Propelled; I hope he doesn't end up Just Playing.

Don't feel too bad, they're hometown boys. BTW, Leonhard is a real player. Awfully small for the NFL, but he impressed me during that scrimmage.

Of course, "hopefully" in this case meaning "Hopefully nothing happens to the jersey in the next year".

We're all friends here; you can call him Norman.

One of my favorite things about this coaching staff is I don't know what they're going to do next. I'm a big fan, but I have absolutely no business being able to guess what's coming next. If you're not able to surprise me, I don't think you're going to catch the opposing team off guard. I've been correctly guessing way too many plays the last few years before these guys arrived. I like these coaches.

I used to think that too, until I saw him run an interception back for a touchdown.

In between the KH/JP competition for starting QB idea and the comparisons to HOF'ers (JK) and future HOF'ers (Fav-ruh), there are some more even-handed critiques here. After one week of training camp, I thought the whole team looked good.

Me too. I think it ended up clocking 2 hrs 28 minutes. Re-Tivo'ed one of the replays to get it all on one recording. It's on again right now.

He will have a better RB for the whole season, and an even or better WR corps to work with than Drew had last year. He'll have to achieve Drew Bledsoe-level performance to get to 9-7. To put it in a reasonably optimistic, positive light.

Nope, no FG attempts. Someone had a horrible looking kickoff (they didn't say who, and I couldn't read his number). Lindell had a on-side kick attempt that was recovered by GB. Planted it into the ground pretty well, good bounce, but traveled a little too far and fast to give his players a shot at it.

"The Packers lost backup running back Najeh Davenport to a right ankle injury, the extent of which wasn't immediately known." When Terrence McGee absolutely PLANTED him. Sorry he was injured, but seeing the perfect execution of a tackle by a player on someone who's bigger than he is is pretty sweet. Which reminds me, I hope #42/Leonard (sp?) makes it somewhere if not on the Bills; from what I saw late in the scrimmage, that kid's a player.

Just the title of the thread had me reaching for the fire extinguisher before I opened it. I'll just keep it near the monitor.

...

That would be a very nice thing to do. I would be proud to participate in a TBD collective donation.

Not only camp reports, but on-the-road camp reports? Awesome. Thanks, IndyMark.

oops DT. The thought of making this defense better is making me short-circuit.

I was pretty surprised to hear this too. The Bills getting better at DE would make an already tough defense pretty dominant. ST's are no longer hold-your-breath scary - in fact, they're one of the best. The defense and ST's are going to hand JP a LOT of short-field drives to work with. If the Bills have a solid running game, this kid is not going to have to be the second coming of Jim Kelly. If there's not a total disaster at LT, Trent Dilfer-level play could take this team to the playoffs. Still big ifs; I'm just saying. Get better at DE? Holy crap.

As much as I like "Born under a bad sign", and I can't recall if I've ever even seen My Fair Lady, but I googled the lyrics, and it comes closer to describing me than anything else I've seen here. Nice choice, Pickering.

I coulda swore they said there was going to be a report from the Bills camp. Watched the whole stupid show, nothing. They had a fantasy football discussion where the Bills were mentioned for their ST/Defense. Whoopee. After cutting half of the "Game of the week" Bills vs Dolphins to show a Bill Parcells press conference, I'm not too happy with the NFL channel today.

I just get the daily update from major news outlets on how many servicemen have died so far. I wish they'd tell me what milestones I should be focused on, and what happens then. What, is there something else I needed to know?
