I'm not sure what you mean by party alot but I can share this with you. The night before TO signed with the Bills he was in Fort Myers, Fl. at a birthday party for a local DJ. It was at the The Reserve Wine and Cigar Bar. It's less than 3 miles from my house. Fort Myers is directly across the state on the Gulf coast and about 160 miles from Miami. It was DJ Quest's birthday and is from 105.5 The Beat. Edgerrin James is his friend who happens to be from Immokalee, Fl (25 miles from Fort Myers) and was there with TO. Obviously it was a private party and a co-worker/friend who moonlights as a bouncer is friends with Quest. Matter of fact, my son is a bar backer at the same club that he bounces at. TO & Co. didn't show up until 1:30 AM that night and my buddy already left by then but he didn't hear of anything out of the ordinary afterwards. Imagine my surprise when I heard the next day that he signed with the Bills.

Thanks Deano, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I would be happy and proud if Aaron were part of our team.

I'm actually relishing it. I take pride in the fact that no matter how much I have agonized thru the years as a Bills' fan my family, friends and people who know and work with me know that I bleed blue. Whatever the successes or failures throughout the years with this team/franchise happen these people think of me first. It's either they want to torture me about it or they feel bad for me but no matter they associate the Bills with me. I take that as an honor. Now that TO is part of us I got his back but I would be ecstatic if he, in time, would feel the same way about us. Go Bills!

That video is hysterical! Thanks for the laughs. I couldn't stop laughing (out loud even) the first time I watched it but I have to admit that towards the end when he said "I am...a Bills fan." I actually got choked up there for a minute and that's because I am...a Bills' fan. Go Bills!

I thought that I should post a few videos for those of you who are interested. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=3919153 I see some of that leadership that the previous link was talking about. http://videos.pennlive.com/patriot-news/20...n_maybin_2.html I guess that I don't really have a good idea what kind of player he is but in this video I have a real good idea of what kind of man he is. Check out Maybin Speecch (second video down in the left column). http://video.aol.com/video-search/tag/Aaron%20Maybin

It's almost impossible to read all aspects that are going on since TO signed with our beloved Buffalo Bills, especially all the fodder that you die hard maniacs have been posting. I love it! To think how little I have been in tune with all the national publicity is shocking but the little bit I heard from outsiders is disappointing. What makes matters worse is when you hear the negativity coming from someone who I felt was kind of one of us. I'm talking about Ross Tucker and that little weasel Gary Myers on Sirius Press Pass on the NFL channel. I was so outraged that I actually tried to call in about 15 times in succession but to no avail. It's almost impossible to get thru so I finally gave up. It was labeled replay so I don't know if it was taped from right after TO was signed or if it was actually live but the content and opinion was theirs and for that they're accountable. It was mostly Myers snickering like a little schoolgirl about going to Buffalo and how desperate TO must be to go there. To validate the desperation he stated something to the effect that TO was going from one of the biggest stages to going to the WORSE place. I can't dispute nor hold it against anyone for thinking and feeling about the two ends of this spectrum but I do take exception to the tone and intent of his staements. Myers also was laughing about watching TO in a parka and freezing and blah, blah, blah. Tucker never opened his mouth in regards to Buffalo but chose instead to just chuckle in the background like an Ed McMahon. Hello??? I won't debate or argue about all the things that the national media want to portray Buffalo and it's market as but I do feel that they are way off base when they try and project that playing football in Buffalo and it's weather as the pitts. I have been to more than my share of home games and even a few on the road and I can tell you this honestly and objectively. Buffalo is a great place to play football. It's one of the few teams in this league that play this game in the most purest, tradional ways that it can be played. It's played outdoors and in all kinds of weather, inclement included. They have a fanbase that not only sells out a rather large stadium consistently but they also also live and die with this franchise week in and week out ALL year long. There are no other stars or celebrities to contend with. It's all about the Bills and it's players. As a player who wouldn't want to play and be in that kind of enviroment? When it was the Colts of old or the Packers or other traditional teams and games, it's labeled classic but now that TO is here, in Buffalo, these haters who don't like TO refuse to give him any kind of credit. Instead they just want to bash him and now us because we're the team that signed him. Too bad. What an odd pair of bedfellows this is indeed, TO and Buffalo. Right now it seems to me that TO came here for his own reasons and not mine but wouldn't it be sensational if in time TO comes to love it here? It could happen, him being the clearcut star of this team, playing for a low key players' coach. Owens, I believe, is very passionate. Well, what are we? If this guy produces, which I also believe he will, and not be detrimental to our common cause, then he'll be able to walk on water around here. What kind of ego maniac wouldn't dig that?! He always felt underappreciated and misunderstood. Hasn't and isn't Buffalo? There's more similiarities between these two than meets the eye. What if this guy comes to realize this as the year goes on? Is it inconceivable that TO could possibly become loyal and love a franchise and want to defend it? I don't think that it is. I think that time is a great evaluator and if things go right, these two who are so alienated from acceptance, truly come to terms with each other and really unify.

Are you confusing the Tonys? I'm talking about Tony Scheffler who plays for the Denver Broncos.

I believe that it reveals an awful lot on the relationshipsm over there in New England, especially the courtesy that Pioli was willing to give to Belichick. http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patr...the_ideal_deal/

Now, I think that Scheffler would be a great addition and not too big of a name. Imagine that offense. Yeah buddy!

I think that we would be making a huge mistake if we brought in other big names, especially at the skilled positions. We have a tremendous supporting cast for TO and Lee Evans not only has the ability but also the perfect demeanor to play opposite of him. Let this guy have the spotlight and let our current players play.

Good call nucci. This Derek Fine just might be fine for us. Although I don't like him Bubba Franks is still out there and he might be that combination of pass blocker/red zone threat that we could use and let Fine be more of the pass catcher for us this year.

Now that TO is in the fold and outside of one more OL piece the offense appears to be all set. I just believe that to make this defense (Cover 2) work, we have to have consistent pressure on the opposing QB. It's time to utilize this secondary that we have heavily invested into. I'm expecting us to be taking DE Aaron Maybin at the #11 spot. It seems that Modrak and the rest of the Bills' scouts were paying a lot of attention to Maybin. Check out the Aaron Maybin news part from 2/27/09. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dspro...&genpos=OLB http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1...b2-941c3fdad2b7

The biggest media whipping boy is now playing for the biggest media whipping boy team. How appropiate.

I believe they will and that's because what we need is not a skilled offensive player. We'll be signing these defensive players no problem now. Even if we don't it won't matter, he's under contract. I would very much like to get it out of the way though. What we need and will do though is to get another top tier OL all the more now to complete our O-Line. Now who can that be?

This will be instant dividends! This was a once in a lifetime marketing opportunity. Rejoice Bills' fans, no matter what the outcome is rejoice! This might be the biggest shot of prosperity for this franchise and for that we all should be thankful and elated that TO is now a BUFFALO BILL!!!

I think that this link will provide your answer. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breaking-n...ory/935410.html

I never said that it didn't. All I said that was that it didn't make any sense. It's too much of a conflict for their team chemistry. They already have a stud WR that wears #81, they don't need two.

That doesn't make any sense.

I think that it might be time to flash the GrahamLight. Hopefully Tim Graham can shed a little light on the TO situation and confirm if the Bills are at all interested. C'mon BatGraham, where are you?

I wish we did get TO. Could you imagine just watching him in our division games alone?! Picture when we play Miami and New England and watching TO play against the Tuna and Moss would be priceless!

Good call Kelly!

Wow!

Tell me you're serious about the Dolphins or are you just trying to be combative?
