I almost always have a feeling that the Sabres will win while I am watching them this year. It is an odd feeling as a Buffalo fan!

That sort of statement immediately brings up thoughts of Mike Williams. The last thing we need is another player with lack of heart. That being said, other than this quote from his coach, I have never heard any other statements to back this up. I have not seen this guy play on a regular basis, has anyone here at TSW seen him? Is he lacking heart, or was this quote from his coach taken out of context?

Buzz Kill! If the World Series, Stanley Cup and NBA finals can be played on the teams home ballpark, ice and court, why not the home field?

Difference being is that your doctor was not required to keep the same number of people on staff regardless of the income of that particular office. Perhaps the 4 doctors would have negotiated a different deal between themselves and between their employees.

That video also shows why helmet to helmet shots are no longer allowed...ouch! You're right though VA, Earl was THE man! Damn he could lay out a hurting!

As opposed to hanging out in downtown Detroit or the entire state of Minnesota?

Soft, hmmmm...Even if he is the definition of a puss* in the NFL I'll take 53 of them please.

You are on to something! It is time to bring the SB back to the fans, not the big wigs, the CEOs, the sponsors, the politicians and especially not the Senators!

Sounds like a blast to me but I doubt most of the SB attendees would be so inclined to stay in an RV park for the duration of their stay. I still think that the SB should be played in the home stadium of the participating team who has the best overall record. Then and probably only then would Buffalo have a chance to host a SB. It would ultimately make the last few games of the season better. It would make meaningless games in weeks 16 and 17 a lot more meaningful when teams have to consider their record ultimately matches up against the entire league instead of just their conference.

If that is so how come every year there are players waied or cut before FA and noone signs them until 12 midnight on the 1st day of FA? edit: Is ther differnt rules this year because of all the chit that has been delayed or extended?

Well I was going to stretch it to include Erie, PA too, then I thought why not include Pittsburgh... it has this snow ball effect! edit: With that being said, just how big an area is LA metro or NY metro or the Miami, Ft Lauderdale and West Palm beach metro(I know this is over 100 miles from one end to the other)?

Pages?

Good point! If you add Southern Ontario, Toronto and Rochester areas, which is realistic, we become the 4th largest metroploitan area in North America with over 11 million in population. "Extended Golden Horseshoe Under the most recent defiintions, the population was 7,910,585 in the 2001 census with an estimated popluation of 8,600,000 as of 2006, of these people approximately 5,600,000 live in the Greater Toronto Area. Following the guidlines of the Metropolitan Combined Statistical Areas, it's the 5th most populated greater combined urban area in North America after New York City, Mexico City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. There is a further, but less used definition which extends across the border into western New York state, including the Buffalo-Niagara Area and Rochester, New York urban areas. The total population in this definition is almost 11 million (hence the 4th most populous urbanized region in North America)."

I could be wrong but I don't think that you can save more than what a player was due to earn in cap savings.

Not too far off with your numbers JDG. I thought you were way over estimating KC and underestimating Buffalo and in particular Jacksonville. Numbers don't lie though! Metro area ranking in the US, and population of that metro area. 27. Kansas City MO-KS 1,925,319 42. Jacksonville FL 1,225,381 45. Buffalo-Niagara Falls NY 1,154,378 BTW Rochester ranks 49th with 1,041,499 Topping the list 1. New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island NY-NJ-PA 18,709,802

Preferably in FA!

I would definitely care. Football was meant to be played outdoors! I remember watching the Bills vs fish game a few years ago in December when the snow was blasting through the Ralph horizontally, it was classic football. Ricky ran for over 200 yards against us that day, but we still won, great game, great day!

The Bills are working in Bennie Anderson pass protection speed to make the cut. We should see 2 or 3 more guys slip by Anderson before he is cut.

Vincent isn't going anywhere even if we pick up another 2 or 3 safeties. We only save $800K by cutting him and it costs us over $2M in a cap hit.

In late breaking news Drew Rosenhaus has agreed to represent Gene Upshaw next year to renegotiate a new contract with the NFLPA.

To be completely honest I have, who is he?

True they have time to get a deal done but it has some major ramifications. Anyone signed to a contract right now can only have their signing bonus broken up over 4 years for the cap. Next year, 2007, a team can only sign a FA if they lose a FA....etc.... Not to mention the fact that Upshaw has promised that once there is no cap there never will be one again. There are many, many, many other reasons why this is not good. The only thing I will enjoy from this is seeing the skins suffer for the next 2 years. Although this actually will get them out of cap hell sooner than if we did get a new CBA.

I'm sure that ARM will say whatever or whatever!

How do they do this and avoid that 30% rule?

Will Buffalo ever get enough respect to get a SB? I'm not holding my breath!
