A guy from R.I. was hit and killed (he was a pedestrian, I gather) after the Pats game last night. For all of you Bills bretheren who are driving around OBD tomorrow, be extra careful.

Can you say Draw 'n' Quarter? How about Head on a lance? D!¢k-in-mouth atrocity.... If these sick bastards want to go Medieval so badly, the Brits did Medieval pretty well.

Lots of parallels to the Roman Empire in its fleeting days --- overstretched, undersupplied and underpaid. Both of my brothers have been in active duty, and now in Reserves and National Guard. Everything from truly INCOMPETENT leadership to Stop Loss (what Kerry called the "backdoor draft"), seeing guys get $120,000 tax-free while you make 18K and have to apply for fuggin FOOD STAMPS to get by, and the VA is a national joke, our thanks to those who've served.... is alienating a lot of soldiers. This ship is leaking. Terrorists worldwide are learning that they can do a lot of damage w/ minimal costs. If N. Korea and Iran are smart, they collaborate to attack us at the same time. I wouldn't be surprised if they do this if W gets back in the White House, b/c they know it's coming anyway. We screwed up by not following George Washington's advice of isolationism.

Vermont Spirits Gold Vodka Good stuff.

Placement on Injured Reserve means that Travis is done for the season. And from the sounds of it from the excerpt below, he may be done with the Bills permanently. (Now if only they could do the same with Pucillo....) From nfl.com article: Brown was angry about being deactivated for the season. Earlier, the Bills announced Brown was expected to miss four to six weeks. Team president Tom Donahoe said Aug. 30 that Brown's return could even come sooner, adding that the team was going to keep him on the active roster. "When you tell me something and you repeatedly tell me something, and then totally come out of left field with something else, I just don't think that's the way you should do business," Brown said.

I believe we can sign them to the practice squad on Monday. I'd say it would include: Lawton J. Smith Trafford Dixon Don't know if Sape is eligible... Then we shop around a bit, I gather.

Eternal Life (J. Buckley) Eternal Life is now on my trail Got my red glitter coffin, man, just need one last nail While all these ugly gentlemen play out their foolish games There's a flaming red horizon that screams our names And as your fantasies are broken in two Did you really think this bloody road would Pave the way for you? You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal, angel Racist everyman, what have you done? Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son... Crown my fear your king at the point of a gun All I want to do is love everyone... And as your fantasies are broken in two Did you really think this bloody road would Pave the way for you? You better turn around and blow your kiss hello to life eternal.... There's no time for hatred, only questions What is love, where is happiness, what is Life, where is peace? When will I find the strength to bring me release? Oh, tell me where is the love in what your prophet has said? Man, It sounds to me just like a prison for the walking dead And when you've got no more of your religion to sell Well I've get a message for you and your twisted hell You better turn around and blow your kiss goodbye to life eternal angel...

Guys, there's a college football board set up. You can find it under the "Two Bills Drive Forums" link above. We'd love to have you drop in there (and keep TSW Bills-related) to talk about the college game and players to watch out for in the NFL Draft.

It's likely a combination of his own dedication, more experience (it's nice to let guys develop rather than blindly signing a 35-year-old stopgap vet), and the guidance of McNally. Oh, and not having liabilities at both sides of the man. Ruben and Pucillo were addition by subtraction. The first game vs. Denver was an improvement b/c Villareal was in, but Pucillo was still at RG. Notice how the angry Teague threads have subsided since Lawrence Smith was put in at LG? LS's not a world-beater (yet) but he can at least hold his own.

A smart red-flag challenge by Mularky? He's one up on GW already!

Oy vey! billsfanone!!! Relax, guys. This is preseason, the time where the kinks are ironed out. At least Lindell is looking better. Two KOs inside the 5, long FG. My guess is that, like Moulds, he alternates b/w good and bad years.

Maybe we could try to keep it all in one neat, tidy thread?
