Here is some more facts : Tennessee has a generally mild climate, but still enjoys the beauty of four distinct seasons. Average summer temperatures 89 F to 67.5 F Average winter temperatures 49.4 F to 30.4 F Average annual rainfall 49.69 inches Average annual snowfall 5.6 inches in Memphis 16 inches in NE Tennessee They barely get below 32 degrees . I think crackur is high on crack .

Sorry cracker . I should have said "mild" instead of "warm" . I forgot all about the harsh climate and rough winters that the state of TN is noted for . Tennessee has a temperate climate with short, mild winters. The average annual snowfall for the state is 12 inches. Spring comes in early March bringing flowering trees and shrubs, and warmer weather. Spring temperatures average between 45 and 70 degrees. Summer's full force arrives in the region by mid May, bringing warm weather and higher humidity. The mountains of eastern Tennessee are a great place to escape the hot summer temperatures as the higher elevation cools the air slightly. Damm thats alot snow !

The $ 200.00 for the Direct TV football package is kick a$$ to me . It's money well spent and will be spent every single year . At least this year there is not alot of talk about playoff's and such from the coaching staff . For some reason I have always believed the preseason hype from the last 2 head coaches . This year we are prolly going to suck, but I think that Im going to see a young team turn the corner and play consistently well throughout a game , hopefully mid season but even that's probably a pipe dream .

After looking over the schedule , I like the fact that 4 "warm weather " teams play in Buffalo during our winter : Nov. 26 Jacksonville , Dec. 3 San Diego , Dec. 17 Miam, Dec. 24 Tennessee . Of those team's, Jacksonville play's pretty good in cold weather . I think we have an advantage with the other three . San Diego is a great team but they have a new QB and he has to prove himself before I can give them any props. Really San Diago could look alot like the Bills if there new QB is a bust ! I am also glad we dont play any night games . The Bills usually get killled on national TV . Maybe the schedule makers did help us out because I think it's an advantage for the bills NOT to play a night game on national TV.

I dont know why I just think we are going to trade him . He's got the most trade value right now . We would miss him but the Bills defense was next to last with him , why not get some extra draft picks , save some cap room and sign some free agents .

I thought Nate was a good value witth his previous numbers . $ 7.22 million dollars is a little high for me , especially with the cover 2 that we are going to play this year . Dont be surprised if we trade him during the draft !

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2362994 I didnt know that Nate just got an extra 1.3 million !!! So I guess we have less to spend. From ESPN : The Minnesota Vikings lifted the transition designation on cornerback Brian Williams after a recalculation of the one-year tender based on changes in the new collective bargaining agreement. The new CBA calls for the values of the previous year's franchise and transition tenders to be used in calculating this year's tenders. Because the tenders were so high last year for cornerbacks -- $8.816 million for a franchised cornerback and $6.938 for a transitioned cornerback -- the tenders for this year increased considerably from what teams expected ($5.89 million for a franchised cornerback and $4.77 million for a transitioned cornerback). It's not clear exactly what Williams' tender would have been, but Nate Clements, who was franchised by the Bills, will have his tender increased by $1.3 million, to roughly $7.22 million, by the recalculation. Williams, a nickel cornerback, would have made significantly more than the one-year tender of $4.77 million he was initially offered. After getting those new numbers, the Vikings decided he was too expensive and pulled the tender, making him a free agent.

I think that the delay in free agency and a lack of an extension of the C.B.A has helped out our Bills . Think about it ,our new coaching staff was just put together and barely had enough time to prepare for the scouting combine let alone look at our roster. Free angency has been pushed back and I think this extra week is really going to help us out in terms of roster evaluations and free agents.
