That's cool, just looking for something to do. Thanks.

Is anybody meeting Saturday night?

I hit costco today and got some chips, dip and one of those sandwich wrap roll platters. I also got some brownie brittle and carmel cover corn puffs. I'll bring some condiments, lighter fluid and charcoal chimney. I will bring a couple small tables too, maybe some sliced marinated chicken and eggplant for the grill. I'm assuming we'll have that big grill there and I'll be able to use that. If not, let me know and I will bring a small grill with me.

I think I'd have to consider the percentage those two represented as opposed to just the number.

bs edelman had his arm pinned

Does anyone have the latest cash-to-cap calculations? I'm a little concerned we won't be able to buy gatorade for the game Sunday.

They could ask to restructure to a number that works for the team, if not he could be gone. Hopefully he stays to enjoy the new Bills.

I don't know if the team and agent can determine common ground on the value of these guys until after the season. Seems like MD's value was agreed upon so we were able to get that done first.

This situation seems to me like the Terrell Owens signing. I think Harvin will be on his best behavior to get back into the FA market as a top wr. Not sure he will put the numbers up here though, but it will be nice to have his threat across from Sammy for a year. My biggest issue will be if we want to pay him $10 mill a year in 2016/17. I hope we can get Woods signed long term, if we win a lot this year and next that will grease the ol' signing wheels.

This to me is a closer move to what the steelers do than what happened with Fred. I think the difference now is that given our coaching staff and new owners, players don't mind staying on.

I would keep him even if he would not take a pay cut. He would provide insurance and possibly have some trade value if another team lost a qb or two.

I'll be there with my brothers and dad, all sitting in the tbd section. Hopefully we'll get into hammers lot around 8am. Looking forward to the full game day tbd experience, in the past we've driven up in the morning and got to the lots around 11am which was too late to really enjoy all the sights smells and sounds. Looking forward to it, ready to lose my voice early Sunday afternoon.

Just don't know about the numbers balance between O and D, I assume Rex will want more defenders than what you have here. Maybe Goodwin and Richardson are replaced by Dareus and Leo.

The unknown was williams. If he hadn't impressed as a rookie I think there's a spot for fred.

If one was going to be inactive every week, I think fredex would have stayed. I think all will be active especially with our offense being run heavy. But I also only see us with 5 wr on the 53.

1 general please

I'm not going to buy into anyone on the offense unless it's well below where they're supposed to go - too many question marks between the qb, the pile of rb's and the new offense. I'm in Pittsburgh so I may get Clay since he will probably get overlooked. Might take a chance on Karlos Williams in my 14 team league assuming he is healthy. I will reach for Buffalo's D and carpenter. I expect him to be doing a lot of kicking again this year.

Count me in for global warming too. Beats global cooling every time.

I'm with you. I think man can pick up the slack of a few less sharks.

Not that we're going to get a qb out of it, but Cleveland could use an rb. Maybe pick up a draft pick?

Here in Pittsburgh the preseason games are called by locals who don't call the regular season games. So the broadcast gets to be like a box of chocolates. I didn't see the game, only highlights, but it seems like we executed well enough which is all you really want to do especially with a new offense. And it looks like Darby needs to play the ball better. Maybe McKelvin can help him with that.

I remembered the Steve Smith case from a few years back, and he was suspended by the team for 2 games. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3516153 At the end of the article they say he won't receive any additional punishment from the league. So it leaves the door open, plus with the current CBA he could get something.

If anyone's aware of the personalities involved, it's Rex. I think it's a pretty big indictment of Geno by Rex.

Steelers don't allow any video of practice.

I personally would have liked to see a little more research into why Roman didn't give Booby much work in SF. To me that's the wildcard here. SF kept drafting guys like we have with Williams and while they didn't cut booby they didn't re-sign him either. If I remember correctly when he got here, he wanted to prove he could carry the ball regularly which is implying Roman didn't think he could in SF. With the bevy of ST guys we have I won't be surprised if Booby's out -if- Bryce can hold onto the football in practice and in the preseason games.
