  1. I got $20 off for 6 months, not bad, take $120 off the cost of the ticket.
  2. I have no sources and that strikes me as true and common sense. He is nearing the end of his career, sees the team in another rebuilding mode with a lot of young receivers. I'd bet he went to Buddy and said something to the effect of, not for nothing, if you want to trade me somewhere good, I'm cool with it. I hope he gets to be in a real playoff hunt.
  3. I am happy a fan in Baltimore is happy with Evans. He was a good Bill, but lets face it, the team should be better than 4-12, but we are not talking 12-4. We get to see how good our younger receivers are and Lee gets to play on a playoff potential team. Given his loyalty to the Bills, he deserves it!
  4. Moorman is the MVP on offense for the past 8 years. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
  5. As My Dad says, Bills won it all with the grazing Buffalo!
  6. taken from (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/AEG-has-talked-with-five-NFL-teams-about-relocat?urn=nfl-wp2532) By Doug Farrar The fact that the Southern California-based AEG corporation is interested in bringing an NFL team back to Los Angeles may be the worst-kept secret in America. But the company, owned by billionaire Philip Anschutz and run by president Tim Leiweke (brother of former Seattle Seahawks CEO Tod), expressed real and concrete interest in moving a team to SoCal — the first time in 16 years that the league would be located there — for a Thursday story in the Orange County Register. "St. Louis, Jacksonville, not extensively, certainly Oakland, San Diego, Minnesota are still in the mix," Leiweke told reporter Scott M. Reed, when asked which franchises AEG had been talking to. Leiweke then added: "We're not packing any [moving] vans right now." Leiweke then put it all on the table and said that AEG would be willing to pay to get a team out of a current stadium lease, citing the $24 million payment the Chargers would apparently have to make to get out of their current agreement. However, in a recent Associated Press story, representatives of the Chargers and Raiders insisted that majority shares were not for sale, and the Vikings are trying to get their own stadium deal done. When speaking to a group in Pacific Palisades on Thursday, according to Reid, Leiweke said that the $1.35 billion project to build Farmers Field (the as-yet nonexistent L.A. football field with a current name sponsor in Farmers Insurance) and renovate the Los Angeles Convention Center would bring $45 million per year in new taxes placed on hotel stays, property, employees and sales. AEG is currently negotiating a lease for the property on which the new stadium will stand; it's assumed that any team could play in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum until a new stadium was built. AEG is also committing to write checks to cover any bridge between a debt on stadium bonds and revenue created, and the company is trying to get a memorandum of understanding with the Los Angeles City Council by July 31, according to Reid. If that happens, AEG can move forward, and would certainly want to enter into more comprehensive and aggressive talks with a current NFL team, or with the NFL about a new team. Where this becomes interesting is that in order to end the current lockout (by choice or by force), it's almost certain that the owners will have to make concessions they don't want to make in order to avoid more stringent penalties by an Eighth Circuit Court that now seems more committed to ending the lockout, even if it shortfalls both sides. The bill for that will fall in the lap of Roger Goodell, and the best way for Goodell to save his own bacon will be to facilitate the sale of a team, or the expansion of the league, and the fat fees those moves generally put in the pockets of all owners. In other words, when labor peace exists again, job one for Goodell will be to refill the coffers to the levels the owners expected when this labor standoff began, and AEG may be the organization willing — and able — to do so.
  7. Good QB's come out every year, Brady was a 6th round pick right? Regardless, the O had some ability and if we get a solid tackle they should be able to put up points. The defense was the worst so even if we had the reincarnation of Jim Kelly, if the D doesn't stop anyone, it just doesn't matter! I am liking this draft so far!
  8. Aaron Williams, A CB and Kiper likes it... I am unsure how to feel
  9. A solid pick for the Bills, in the first round for a change. If you haven't seen this, check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfXoDQiyaTI&feature=fvst ESPN Sports Science clip with Marcell, the dude brings power!
  10. On the surface, the Bills picked smart I'll drink to that!
  11. When "if's" and "buts" become candy and nuts we will all have a happy Purim
  12. G-d is good, G-d is just, Oh dear G-d, do not let the Bills blow another early round draft pick.
  13. I like the Rochester D&C with Leo and Sal, they are only during the season, but its a good one. Then again I am it CT surround by jets, Giants and Fing Patsies and jones for NY post reporting on the Bills.
  14. Moorman - most consistent player for the past decade! And, how many team give the punter a jersey?
  15. #1DL, #2LB - The bills had the worst run stop Defense in the league.
  16. I believe in my heart of hearts that is they had kept Fred Smerlas one more year, he would have helped them win that first SB.
  17. Any position that uses the letter B in the description
  18. Me too - that is still the best Bills cover ever!
  19. We haven't had a good TE in like 10 years since Jay R. left the team, we also haven't been to the playoffs in 10 years - After watching Olsen I saw the connection. A slight exaggeration, but what a difference a solid TE could make on this team.
  20. I went to school in Chicagoland so I would like to see Da Bears get back and get the win over the bi-planes. Let the Jets taste some bitter SB defeat.
  21. It's also worth noting after the gun incident and the running over the woman incident, Lynch was more more stupid mistake from suspension. That plus have Spiller, plus having Jackson, PLUS Lynch wanting to not be in Buffalo made it a good move.
  22. I'd almost like to see the Bills and Ravens swap divisions. I think a Steelers/Bills/Browns rivalry would be friggin sweet.
  23. That strikes me as kind of pretty. What are the chances the Bills war room's board will looking anything this reasonable?
  24. RIP Cookie, thanks for the 64 championship
  25. Young's teammates said he did not bring 100%, he is not needed and One Bills Drive
