Albany,n.y.

The guy was traded for a 5th rounder last year, then he was placed on waivers in the middle of the season, nobody picked him up & later he re-signed with NE. That's not exactly the resume that gets you a multi year contract. I still don't understand why we gave him $500,000 to sign.

I think the cancer in the locker room was Mike Mularkey, not Sam Adams, Eric Moulds or any other veteran that spoke out against MM's decisions.

Especially when the Bills never had any interest in signing him. Only the fans, who don't have to fit his contract into a salary cap.

What is to prevent a team from signing a bunch of veterans to 2 year contracts with big $ guaranteed for 2007? They play this year at a normal salary, next year at an inflated salary, then the contract expires & if they still have anything left, they can market themselves as UFAs. The Cowboys & Redskins could have $1 billion payrolls in 2007 and seriously upgrade the team this season. The future is now! Why not us? Get it done Marv!

Actually I am, I have an old shoe of his I use as a chair.

Choosing to go to a team that is a Super Bowl contender in 2006 instead of rebuilding with the Bills is going to be a real headache.

Face it, this is 2001 all over again. New GM & coach, salary cap purge. Best thing to do is go with JP & if he bombs draft the top QB, because we're almost certain to have a top 5 pick next year if JP bombs & a top 10 pick if Holcomb is the starter. If JP plays well, then at least the season isn't a total waste of time and we could actually have a semi-decent team. Unless Marv goes wild in free agency, we're in for a long year.

Williams had one major red flag that people totally ignored. He always had weight problems. He was 375 at the combine. Taking a player that big is just asking for trouble. When the Bills drafted him, they said he's just naturally big, that was total BS. The guy had a weight problem & TD drafted him @ #4. Add that to the fact that he never played LT in college and that Bryant McKinnie, who was 40 lbs lighter & had played LT and Roy Williams, an impact safety (when we needed one-this was pre-Milloy signing) were both on the board and it was a stupid pick. No matter what you think of McKinnie overall, there's no doubt he's on the Vikings roster today & MW isn't on the Bills' roster.

Pyrite Gal is no lady. There's only one person on this board who can type that much, do the math.

The only way Marv is helping him out is by eliminating one cold weather city that Marcus will be going to. Odds increase that he'll play in warmer weather. What part of Marv's talent without character talk don't you get? Marv is old enough not to believe a kid who suddenly acts the part a few days out of 365.

Since the event took place in the afternoon & most people know the results by now, I doubt there will be much of an audience. Too bad they can't show the events live-how do they expect people to watch events that took place 6 hours earlier? Gone predictions: Stevie Scott, Brenna Gethers (Middle America hates that NYC attitude stuff) , Bobby Bennett & Jose "Sway" Penala. Gone Savers: Becky O'Donohue (best looking-but can't sing-looks probably get her a week reprieve), David Radford (if the public bought that awful falcetto that "Swish", I mean "Sway" was selling)

Dolphins | Police & Courts: Damion McIntosh Wed, 15 Feb 2006 14:36:45 -0800 CBS4.com reports Miami Dolphins OLT Damion McIntosh was reportedly arrested in Davie, Fla., by police on a domestic violence charge involving his wife. According to the arrest report, McIntosh pushed his wife to the floor, where she hit her head. When police responded to a call, McIntosh's wife was unresponsive. Paramedics treated her on the scene and then transported her to a local clinic. Police say McIntosh's wife attempted to call police from the bathroom, but she was incoherent.

Nobody was complaining when we replaced him with Mike Hollis and Hollis had a good season after a season of uncertainty with rookie kickers. The problem was after Hollis' one Bills season he wanted too much money, signed with the Giants, hurt his back & never played in the NFL again. When we let Graham go, Hollis was a much better kicker than him & there was no sense bringing him into camp.

I don't know if you'd consider it cheating, but my guess on Akili is that his agent bought a bunch of Wonderlic tests and had Akili study Qs & As from every test he had. Chances are that either the same or a very similar test was given at the combine that year. I've taken civil service tests and memorized the test before I left for future tests & for friends. I gave people copies of prior tests before they took the next test. I don't consider that cheating, but they definitely had an advantage over people without a copy of the previous test. In high school we had a teacher who stressed the Regents exam, using past exams from Barrons books. She gave us a test from a past Regents, we had them all in our books-just didn't know which one she'd give. I memorized all the recent past Regents tests, finished in half the time as the rest of the class & scored a perfect 100. When the time came for the real Regents test, I scored an 85 in a class I was struggling in with a final ave of 77. So studying & memorizing past test does help- although I doubt Akili Smith has my ability to memorize tests.

No problem at all with Road Runner.

I'm not thrilled with Turk. I recall reading a story that exposed the Bills locker room split with DF/RJ & one part said Schonert took Flutie's side & refused to coach RJ. If that story was true, I wonder if he'll throw JP under the bus if he likes Holcomb better.

He claimed he had to urinate when he took it the 1st time & he couldn't concentrate. More likely: He was tutored for the second test (at the combine) & did much better. I don't think Akili Smith cheated of Maas, I think his agent had him tutored for the test like Losman. I usually give the first time score more weight.

QBs have so much more value than RBs. The only prudent thing is for someone in the top 4 to trade with Houston, Houston gets D'Brick & the other team takes Leinart #1. It's the only thing that makes any sense, & I'd say the team that trades up for Leinart is the NY Jets.

Who hasn't played a down of NFL football, not even exhibition games, was a 3rd rd pick & is coming off knee surgery. Do I really want to be counting on Everett to solve the TE problem?

Tax cuts for the rich.

I wonder if the new guy will support Mangini. Sorry, no link except Jets website says press conference @ 3. Heard it from a Jets fan at work. He got it from a Jets board.

No, because if that was the case Ronnie Lancaster would be in Canton. ...and you know who would be a lock in 5 or 6 years.

All I could think of when the anthem started was the Saturday Night Live skit the night before when Horatio Sanz was playing the guy & Keenan Thompson was Areatha. Sanz started laughing in the middle when he was imitating the singer, and I didn't know why until he did the anthem just like Horatio had done the night before.

First off, let me state I'm not a fan of Warren Moon. I don't think he belongs in the hall. I don't think putting up stats because A) he was lucky enough to play in a run and shoot offense that inflated his #s and B) he was durable enough to last a long time makes one a Hall of Famer. I'm also not a fan of wife beaters & (excuse the pun) chokers like Moon was when he got into playoff games. Now, about the racism stuff when he came out of college. The real truth is Warren Moon would have been a mid round pick and instead of having the guts to try to earn a job as a QB in the NFL, he signed a contract with the CFL in March of 1978. The NFL Draft was May 2, 1978 and here's something a lot of people convieniently forget. THE 17TH PICK IN THE 1ST ROUND OF THE 1978 DRAFT WAS DOUG WILLIAMS! So, my question is, if the climate in 1978 was so against Black Quarterbacks, how the hell did Doug Williams go 17th in the whole draft, yet Warren Moon felt he wouldn't be given a fair shot and fled to Canada as a draft dodger. Maybe if Moon had waited until the day of the draft, he would have been drafted a lot higher than he thought. Instead he claimed he had to go to Canada because he was a BlacK QB in the same year a Black QB gets picked in the 1st round. Also, why did Moon spend 6 years in Canada. I'm sure he could have gotten out sooner if he had the guts to try the NFL sooner, especially after Williams proved to be successful in Tampa Bay. Warren Moon-Draft Dodger, Wife Beater, & a poor choice for the Hall Of Fame!
