At 6:30 the pregame show just started. The game is on tonight on the radio in the Capital Region. Thankfully, the Yankees played this afternoon

From KFFL: Titans | Henry Dinged Fri, 12 Aug 2005 23:27:26 -0700 Teresa M. Walker, of the Associated Press, reports Tennessee Titans RB Travis Henry (turf toe) is battling a mild case of turf toe after the team's preseason game Friday, August 12.

Your mailman must be a Bills' fan When the media guides arrive, some of us will be posting it here. If you don't get one contact the Bills & ask them where your media guide is.

I jusr remembered-wasn't Boy George there last year. Forget my Couch prediction, their opening day QB is Jeff George.

I'm surprised that there haven't been any Rex Grossman really does = RJ. The guy may get injured more than RJ. Speaking of RJ, maybe the Bears are calling him right now, why have a copy when you can have the original? Seriously, I expect to see Tim Couch in Chicago by next week...and Matt Leinart there a year from now.

They haven't mailed them yet. Last year they came right before opening day. One year we got them in November or December.

He wants a lot of money. He spent over $400,000 to get out of Cleveland & then, according to ESPN radio he blew $500,000 in Vegas partying. He wants a multi-year deal with a big signing bonus & is willing to sit out the year if necessary. With Tucker back practicing, if Gandy doesn't cut it Teague will play LT this year & we'll draft a LT with our #1 pick next year-it's a tackle rich draft. One of the reasons TD was so adamant about getting a 1st day pick for Henry is he knows he might have to move up in the 1st to get a starting LT in the draft. Unless Verba changes his demands or Gandy AND Teague bomb, Verba is not going to be signed.

Jeanine Ferris Pirro has kicked off her impossible campaign with two premises: 1) The NYS voters will vote for her because they know she'll stick around and not run for President. 2) Husband, what (convict) husband. Great for a DA who will run as tough on crime as long as it excludes her own family. I'm just waiting for the candidate to start calling herself Jeanine Ferris. Hillary Rodham Clinton will eventually kick off her Presidential candidacy thinking she can actually be elected in a national election that includes states outside the northeast & far west. She can easily destroy JFP's 1st premise by promising to stay her full term in the senate. Even if she were to bamboozle the Democrats into nominating her, a promise that she'll serve her full term should be easy to keep. Jeanine Pirro will never be elected Senator in 2006 & Hillary Clinton will never be elected President in 2008.

If CKTB is still on the Bills radio network, they usually have the games. However, they have a limited capacity & you have to get in early, otherwise you can't get in. http://www.610cktb.com/

I've seen some people panicking already after feeling JP was outplayed by Holcomb. They're waiting to see how JP does in the rest of the preseason-I'm not! Keep in mind one thing when evaluating any QB performance-they do not use game plans like they do in the regular season. A young QB can look bad in the mini game plan scenario of preseason and really turn it on in the structured regular season game plan games. How soon people forget Frank Reich's preseason performances. To put it kindly, Reich sucked in preseason, especially before he was called on to play in 1989. If there had been a Stadium Wall in the late 1980s the crowd would have been all over Reich after eachj preseason game & would have said we were doomed when Reich had to take over for an injured Kelly in 1989. I'll wait until the regular season to evaluate JP. A preseason opinion is a premature evaluation. Anyone thinking that if Holcomb and/or Matthews outplays JP that JP should be demoted is really pushing things considering the lack of a structured offensive game plan and the fact the backups will be playing against guys who will be delivering your UPS packages by opening day.

I've always said the teams that either leave their starters in longer or have better backup QBs win exhibition games. Considering we have Holcomb to light it up against defensive 2nd stringers & Shane to pick apart the guys who will soon be sending out their resumes, we should be able to sweep the exhibitions. We may not know how JP will do, but we've got one of the best 2-3 QB combos in the NFL.

It was announced a month or 2 ago that Dickerson would be on on Mondays. Doesn't do us much good once you get a little past Syracuse. Too bad he won't be on after the games for the ride home.

The only problem is that with the red jersey, nobody is supposed to touch him. So if he takes off, shouldn't every run result in a TD?

All reports are greatly appreciated by those of us not in Rochester. You have all confirmed my worst fears about Gandy. The sooner this guy is sent packing the better. Then we can find out if Teague, Peters, McFarland or even Gudmundsen can be our LT. I think once Tucker is ready, Teague will move to LT & they'll see how Teague, Anderson, Tucker, Villarial & Williams look as a line.

JP will be fine. Gandy will be benched and gone soon enough.

Holcomb better outplay JP, because as stated above Holcomb will not be playing against the other team's starters. This bodes well for the preseason w-l record since we have a better 2nd sting QB than the other teams-that usually translates into exhibition wins. A few other thoughts: All you people calling JP a rookie who will struggle are being moronic, unless you believe he's a bust. The idea that 1st year starting QBs struggle makes no sense and is disputed by the facts. Here's a list of some NFL starting QBs who started in their 2nd season after seeing limited action their 1st year: Tom Brady-Won the Super Bowl as a 1st year starter-his 2nd season in the NFL after riding the bench in his 1st Kurt Warner-won the Super Bowl as a 1st year starter-his 2nd season in the NFL after riding the bench in his 1st (and don't throw in the NFLE & arena crap) Daunte Culpepper-led his team to the NFL championship game as a 1st year starter-his 2nd season in the NFL after riding the bench in his 1st Michael Vick-Led his team to a Wild Card spot & beat GB in GB in the 1st round afyer starting only 2 games as a rookie Aaron Brooks-After Jeff Blake's injury, started the final 5 games, leading NO to a division championship & a playoff win before losing to fellow sophomore Culpepper. Rode the bench his 1st year in GB. There also Donnovan McNabb, who started 6 games as a rookie & led his team in his 2nd year to a wild card & 1st round win. Kerry Collins who started 13 games in his rookie year, performed well for a 1st year expansion team & had his team in the NFC championship game in his 2nd. Ben Roethlisberger who led his team to the NFL's best record before losing the AFC championship to NE in his pure rookie year. Byron Leftwich, who started 13 games his rookie year after missing a lot of camp with a holdout without a lot of struggling. Even Shaun King was able to win playoff games in his pure rookie season before falling to St Louis and 1st year starter Warner in the NFC championship game Drew Bledsoe may have struggled a bit as a rookie starter, but most of his career has been spent underachieving. Rex Grossman looked good as a pure rookie when given starts late in the year & got hurt his 2nd year & the jury is still out on his career. Carson Palmer may have struggled a bit before coming on in the 2nd half before his injury, but he is the exception, not the rule. About the only other players I found who did struggle were the Manning boys, both on lousy teams. Peyton led the turmaround to a division title in year 2. Kyle Boller -who has and will always struggle until he's bounced out of the league-ditto Joey Harrington & Patrick Ramsey. David Carr has played about the same, so it's hard to say what the problem is other than his supporting cast. So if you think JP is going to be a quality or better NFL starter, don't expect him to struggle-the struggling 1st year starters on decent teams are few and far between. If they stuggle as 1st year starting sophomores, they usually are busts or marginal players.

Matthews is the oldest at 35, born 6/1/70

Their group was in Massachusetts last June. They were protesting against Catholics & gays. Worst signs were "Pope in Hell" Local Mass. people on the news that day were saying they were better than the protesters & weren't going to do anything against them. Somebody should have beaten the s**t out of them instead of taking the high road.

The dark horse Republican candidate is the only one I've ever seen speak in person***, His campaign slogan can be "The future is now" and his cabinet can be called the "Over the Hill Gang" . If the Republicans succeed in getting Hillary nominated (which I don't believe will ever happen-the Dems can't be that stupid) The the campaign staff can be called the "Over the Hill Gang" ***-When he gave his father's speech because George Allen was dead when he got elected to the HOF.

He's going to announce this is it for him as governor. Unfortunately, he's also thinking that he can become president in 2008. Another delusional politician. How does this guy ever believe he can get enough delegates to win the Republican nomination with his record? The conservatives in his own party will crush him. Same goes for Guiliani, who temporarily moved in with a gay couple when he was between marriages after his split with Donna Hanover and needed a place to stay. Imagine the primaries in the bible belt with either of these two New Yorkers being called pro abortion & pro gay. http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp...sdate=7/27/2005
