So you mean Joakim Noah, the Bulls basketball player? Who cares?

My wife is concerned about the cost of gas as most of us sane people are. She also drives a mini-van and while she does not drive very far now the mini-van mileage has dropped as it has gotten older and the van will need to be replaced eventually. This is a much smaller vehicle so I was concerned that she would not have good vision in it but we took a test drive in one and it drove satisfactory. Unfortunately there is a long back log of cars on order and it will take a year for her to get her new car. Fortunately current car has no driving issues and if we do need to buy a new car the $99 deposit is fully refundable. In case you have not seen them Smart Cars are these small 2 person sub-compacts produced by Mercedes Benz. The model I reserved for my wife is the blue metallic passion version (The value packed, sporty and well-equipped passion coupe includes a panorama roof, alloy wheels, air conditioning with climate control, 3-spoke leather sports steering wheel with shift paddles, power windows, electric and heated side mirrors, and AM/FM radio with CD player.)

How hard is it for the Chicago firm which is paid big bucks to notice that they have listed a preseason game twice on two different days? Considering it they are on consequential rows it should have been fixed immediately after being posted. (It is on the Saturday resulting in Bills needing to play next preseason game in 5 days by the way.) http://www.buffalobills.com/games/schedule.jsp Thu., Aug. 7 at Washington Redskins TBA 7:00 PM Sat., Aug. 9 at Washington Redskins TBA 7:00 PM

Dark chocolate. Luckily a lot of companies have realized that there are dark chocolate and started making versions of their candy using dark chocolate.

What is Joey Harrington jersey doing on Hall of Fame website? I always like Bruce Matthews but I am not sure what I would do with his jersey unless I had an opprotunity to go to a signing he was at. Too much Hall of Fame stuff leftover is what happens when they do not vote a Bill into Hall of Fame fot a year. I picked up a load of Thurman stuff. I wish they had stated the postage ahead of time though.

Unfortunately most of the beltway bandits are hiring for contracts and rather than paying like a contractor they pretend the work is long term and pay the cheaper cost of an employee, benefits and layoff cost. I went through that period for a while. Ok if you have no other alternatives or want to take off time between contracts. Right now the government is big on forcing companies to reduce amount of money paid on contracts which has resulted in smaller raises, less promotions and many places pressure to replace higher level employees with lower level ones. Right now at work the government controllers has forced contractors to build jointly on contracts so they can reduce the number of employees and divert money allocated by congress into pet projects.

Negative. He was in camp Tuesday and it is not May 31 yet. He probably had a prior military exercise commitment. http://buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=6090 Attendance Brian Moorman and college free agent FB Mike Viti were practicing today after missing Monday's voluntary workout.

But if you are very close to the cap as Red$ucks are and want to buy more very expensive toys this is only way you can get them without cutting much of the team. The Red$ucks are so close to the cap now they are doing the Butler thing mortgaging the future faster than cap is rising.

Atlanta realizes that a good deal of the money will go into the uncapped year and is taking advantage of it. You better believer $nyder, Jones, etc are licking at chops to go uncapped for even one year.

Thanks. I heard from Chris Brown Evans had been participating in offseason workouts, then he got offer from Bills and now he is going to take it easy so it is natural to assume that it is related. Wonder why he did not get shoulder surgery earlier?

Why wasn't Gibran Hamdan at practice? http://buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=6086 At quarterback starter Trent Edwards took most of the first team reps with J.P. Losman next in line followed by Matt Baker. Luke Drone did not get much work. Even Baker, a Dolphin washout, is getting snaps.

Britney is so outdated. She probably was wearing a studded edible thong that she could strip off and throw to crowd.

http://buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=6086 Wide receiver Top wideout Lee Evans did not participate in team work, so Roscoe Parrish saw a lot of Evans' work on the outside. Evans insists he feels great and that avoiding team work is just a precautionary measure at this point. "I'm just going to take it easy and just get as strong as possible for the season," said Evans. There have been no reports on him being unavailable to practice so could he be dogging to save strength for extra effort at end of year like Peerless did first time so as to showcase skills for free agency? It would not be the first time a player in last year of contract dogged it while negotiations were ongoing.

I agree except I think Simpson is overrated and Poz has not shown enough to depend upon yet. I also like that our #4 & #5 LBs have experience which is good when Bills go to 3-4 set.

$30 million guarenteed is very risky for someone who may have a fit when Losman is not re-signed and decide to not play hoping to be traded to be reunited with his boy. If Evans is interested in big paycheck he needs to be more professional rather than trying to direct coaching staff / front office. Those jobs pay far less than he is going to get in his next contract by the way.

Agree. Losman is not talking to press for he sees no avantage to do so.

Good for you for clearances are only thing preventing jobs from being shipped overseas and some are still trying to do that saying foreign workers can be cleared. No unless you want to get paid well. Lots of positions I have been talked to about but rare to they want to pay for more than 5 or 6 years experience. The degree you have is not a big deal for many companies as long as you do have a degree. Just having a clearance can help get you a foot in a door. Send me a note if you are interested in working in Springfield else I'd look near Baltimore/Columbia where the other TS SCI/Poly (CI) jobs are. Also check http://www.TechExpoUSA.com for job fairs.

I was first!! I have never been first in 9 years with me usually getting money in day before deadline. Of course my boss did say my vacation time was granted with conditions that he did not need me during that period so I may also be first to have to find a replacement.

Beer, football - two great things together

Since Bills rotate their lineman I think this will add to number of years a defense lineman will be able to play and be effective compared other teams.

No one who is a "member" of that site has posted a response yet hence no replies posted.

Moderation not being editing before posting otherwise editor would have had author correct poor logic.

Pretty bad when neighbors break into an apartment thinking it should be theirs not the owner's.

More concerning is the blatant rule violations regarding IR players. Poz was never on practice field after being put on IR but many players have reported Pats* using players on IR in practice. Some day there will be a lawsuit by a player on IR who gets hurt and that is when this issue will be resolved.

The Bills seem to use a lot more effort trying to find UDFA CBs than other teams. I think the scouting department thinks themselves better prepared than most teams to find gems in the rough.

Which one?
