Thanks for explanation.

I don't understand why his contract cannot be renegotiated. Why is that so?

Is this scenario possible: 1. Schobel reports to the Buffalo Bills 2. Bills and Schobel renegotiate his contract down to a more palatable number -- say $4 million 3. Bills trade him to Texans for some kind of draft pick Seems like a win-win given how the situation is playing out. Schobel gets some $ this year instead of zippo. The Bills get SOMETHING for Schobel instead of nothing at all.

Here is what Dick Jauron said once Jason Peters FINALLY showed up for week 1 of the regular season after his long 2008 holdout: "He's ready to go," coach Dick Jauron said following Buffalo's 34-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. "We just have to see how long it takes him to get into football shape." Contrast that with what Nix says about Schobel: http://www.buffalobills.com/media-lounge/v...7a-362e28823ceb Nix has it right. This move was necessary. How could Jauron say "He's ready to go" about Peters after he missed the entire 2008 training camp? Amazing. Nix & Gailey are protecting the Buffalo Bills organization and doing what is both best for the entire team and what is fair and right. Go Bills!!

The region has NO VISION. What the hell is up with no buffer between the Niagara River and the 290 for a mile or two stretch. Let's ruin the natural beauty of the Niagara River with an expressway. The politicians are stupid and greedy and have been for many, many decades. The water front all the way from Hamburg to Niagara Falls is a joke with one or two small exceptions. The water front is the key to future success and it is being squandered.

I'd like it if they went back to the white helmet. I never liked the red helmet.

I totally agree. In fact, I don't think reporters or fans should be allowed to see practices at all (with some exceptions -- an occasional fan appreciation day here or there, etc.). However, the rest of the time, I'd like to see totally closed practices. This is a business and businesses have to protect their knowledge. I'd also send some people around the neighborhood looking for one of Bilicheat's guys up in a tree with a video camera. I'd also hire someone to check for wires or other hidden recording devices in the locker room, the stands, etc. Call me paranoid -- I don't care. You've GOT to protect your knowledge from the competition at all costs.

Maybe you forgot what happened to Flander's wife the last time she attended a ball game?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCXzNzgLNrY

Well, I did not see the deleted thread so your comments appear out-of-line. If there was a deleted thread and if it said what you claim it said, then I suppose I could see where you were coming from. However, this is all kind of pointless now that the thread is gone.

Weo, WHAT is your issue? Hossage makes a few simple comments and you just start making stuff up based on that.

Did TO ever return his key to the city?

+1 Apparently some on this board don't want to let facts interfere with a good rant.

+1 In today's NFL, you don't have "rebuilding" years. You've got to turn things around fast today. This can be a playoff year and once in the playoffs anything can happen.

I was wondering that myself as to how in the world you fall down TWO flights of stairs when there would seemingly be a landing at the bottom of each flight.

I'm really hoping it can all be chalked up to very poor coaching. This is Edward's LAST chance to prove himself IMO. If he does not shine this year, I think the TE experiment must come to a close.

I'll sell your domain name back to you for $100.

Sounds almost as challenging as being a Bills fan.

Is "Vigina" a new state?

The problem with this thinking is that we will pay for a new stadium *AND* abortion legislature in Kenya *AND* everything else that comes down the pike.

Something else unique for Gailey this go-round -- he got to choose his ENTIRE staff. He didn't have that opportunity in Dallas where the DC remained in place when Gailey took over as HC. So, this is the first time in Gailey's NFL career that he has a staff that is 100% of his own making. I'm looking forward to how things develop.

It's a real shame the realignment got so screwed up. Buffalo, Pittsburgh, & Cleveland should all be in one division along with Cincinnati, but Ralph felt the Buffalo-Miami rivalry was too important to keep. Imagine the new rivalries that would be in place now had they done it right?! Oh well, I digress.

Looks like her husband was the true moron who just had to get closer. However, neither of them actually succeeded in removing themselves from the gene pool, so that disqualifies them from a Darwin Award.

That is one of the most overused and downright stupid idioms.
