Personally I can get pretty stupid - but not on this issue.

I would send them Lynch and Edwards for Cutler straight up. (if they would even consider accepting that offer.) I really love Lynch as a RB - but I don't want any crimminals on the roster.

You can blame the League for that. They may be crazy like a fox though.....People are paying at those prices.

where is the new "Offical" logo?

Same here. I was 13 when Knox came to Buffalo. The 1980 Bills are still my all time favorite Bills.

I can't view YouTube at work....so I don't know if this is the clip.... - Wasn't Curtis Brown the guy that returned a kick for a TD, then pulled a ref's yellow flag out of his pants, threw it on the ground and spiked the football on it? Or was that Keith Moody? Whoever it was.....oh my... that was awesome! Terrell Owens before Terrell Owens.

I like the hire.

Yes..he was a VERY good one and one of the best all time vet signings in Bills history. IMHO.

I have no issue with Peters. I hope he resigns long term, and as for Bell I hope fails miserabley so he gets hooked on drugs and riddles his absente fathers body with bullets.

I don't know the details of Kirk Chambers contract other then seeing that he is a FA. I don't know if he is restricted or unrestricted or some other category that changes from week to week. My question is do you think he will be offered a contract to return - or will he be given not offer? I think he is a very solid back up and I imagine a good number of teams would be willing to sign him and give him the opportunity to fight for a starting job? Or will the Bills try to sign him long term and let Peters play out his contract? Just curious.

Sorry if this had already been posted: Kemp diagnosed with cancer

Not only did I not now he was Eugene's son, before I ran across this article....I did't know who Robert Marve was either. Not much of a NCAA football fan here I guess. Robert Marve to transfer Eugene is one of my all time favorite Bills LB's. Tackling machine!

So I was talking to a friend of mine who was a food vendor for Training Camp. He has been developing some contacts not too deep within the organization - but contacts nonetheless. He was told that the league has the owners by the short hairs. If the stadium does not sell out, Ralphie boy has to pay the league full price for each unsold ticket? I thought that was pretty outrageous...but it does explain why there isn't a flat ticket price for every stadium in the league. Not a big deal when the stadium is selling out....but good grief....that would be tough on teams that don't sell out regularly. He also made the comment that Jim Kelly has a group that has the money prepared to purchase the team if it were to be sold. He said the Wilson family...and Wilson himself would not be able to purchase the team at the price it is valued at...800mil +. I know the rumor of Kelly being involved or wanting to be involved with a group to buy the team was just him talking big...I never would have thought he could pull enough investors...or the the right investors to make this deal happen.

I love the way the Bills are using Fred Jackson....and I think Turk is doing an OUTSTANDING job!!! Geez...this guy has been around a while...glad he is getting his first OC chance with the Bills.

Mrs OTR and I have the Dish Network....with America's Top 200 and the dual DVR deal. The old TV finally kicked the bucket on Saturday, and we went out and bought one of these new flat panel LCD deals...maybe you have heard these are the latest greatest things. Anyway...my question is for those folks that have HD service from Dish Network, what can I expect that it is going to cost me to get monthly HD service? Someone mentioned to me that it requires getting a new tuner for $$$ plus paying a monthly fee to DN. I knew I would need to pay a monthly charge to DN but I didn't know anything about a high cost receiver as part of the deal. I would call DN to get their spin, but I hate dealing with their customer service people. They aren't bad, I just can't stand dealing with them. TIA

I think we are about to a series of handoffs until the final gun. At least I hope DJ isn't dumb enough to put Losman back to pass.

The Bills just picked up the phone to call Chris Simms agent.

I set up a league on Yahoo for the guys at the office. They keep hounding me with a million and one questions. Only one of which so far has any value. How do you set the timer for how long each team has to make their pick? Is it done automatically? Or do I set it somehow? If it is set automatically, how do I know how long that timer will be set for? TIA OTR

I read this article and the first thought that came to my mind was that McCargo was just saying what ever crap sounded good.

I sure hope this is true....but my first response is:

nice. seriously.

I got to thinking about the poor receiving corps in Chicago, Tennesee, Miami and a few other teams. If you were going to trade one of the Bills WR's: Now before everyone jumps on the name Josh Reed - you also have to consider trade value and what you can get in return? Who would you offer and what would you want in return for any of the following: Evans Reed Parrish Hardy Which one would you trade? Which team would you trade with? What would you want in return?

Sept. 2, 1979. Tom Dempsey missed a FG in a rain storm to keep the Bills from ending the Dolphins decade long streak over the Bills. It was a major bummer..., ....but my second game at Rich was the following year when the Bills ended that streak. Goal Posts came down, and Keuchenberg went home a loser.
