Albany,n.y.

For a team that has picked at the top twice, and 3rd once since their rebirth, the Browns may just be setting records for draft futility. Here's the new Browns 1st rounders since they came back: 1999-Tim Couch (1st player overall in draft) -cut & out of NFL 2000-Courtney Brown (1st overall) -to be cut next week. 2001-Gerard Warren-(3rd overall)-traded for 2005 4th rounder 2002-William Green-on the trading block 2003-Jeff Faine-on the trading block 2004-Kellen Winslow Jr-injured early in rookie year-no factor yet. Instead they could have picked: 1999-Donovan McNabb or Daunte Culpepper (McNabb was #2, I would have picked Culpepper at #1) 2000-Lavar Arrington 2001-Ladainian Tomlinson or Richard Seymour 2002-Ed Reed 2003-WILLIS MCGAHEE 2004-Ben Roethlisberger (If they had taken the right QB in 1999, then-Roy Williams, Jonathan Vilma or Lee Evans) Next time you want to get on TD, just look at Cleveland. Since TD got here his 1st rounders are Clements, Williams, McGahee, Evans & Losman. All are starters.

Jordan got the $ because he was a UFA. The team acquiring him wasn't giving up anything other than $. If Henry had an IQ above 50, he'd realize how stupid he is being. Take a trade, play the year and if you have a good season Travis, you get your money. Otherwise, keep all trades from happening, rush for 200 yards with the Bills and get a minimum one year contract with your next team in 2006.

I guess he replaces Troy Brown on offense

I took 1 class in the summer of 74 so I could graduate on time. It was "Sociology of Sports". I only got a C because the prof & I had different ideas of what sociology in sports meant. I turned in a term paper on franchise movements in baseball with the angle being that owners set up franchise movement by undermarketing a team and driving the fans away from the seats when the promise for profits are better elsewhere. The prof thought I should have emphasized the fan heartbreak over losing a franchise instead of analyzing the business reasons for franchise shifts. Looking back, my paper was probably better suited for an economics class than a sociology class. Another funny story out of that class was that one if the students had spent time in prison (I can't remember how the topic came up). When he first mentioned it for a few seconds just about every classmate got a little nervous thinking we had some hardened convict with us in class. Then he said it was for drug possession & everyone relaxed.

We're not drafting any QBs this year. #3 will be a rookie or 1st year player who will never be expected to play & is really an afterthought. When you have a young #1 & a veteran #2, you don't worry about #3. It will be similar to when we picked up Travis Brown-If nobody in camp is good enough-we'll get a guy off waivers on opening week. I think that #3 will be in another team's camp until September.

He's in his 40s, he lasted a year longer than RJ. He ended up in the NFL his last 7 years as a pro. Give it up already. PS: If you really hate him that much you'll have to turn down the sound because once his career is truly over, he's probably headed to the broadcast booth.

I'd like to see Leelee Sobieski & Helen Hunt together because they can pass for sisters or mother/daughter. The resemblance is amazing.

SUNY College at Fredonia-Class of 1975 (I can't believe it's 30 years!) That's how a guy who grew up on Long Island & now lives in the suburbs of Albany became a Bills fan.

It won't be that high on draft day because of all the RBs in this year's draft. The best time to trade him is during the season, or pre-season-whenever a team loses its top back & will pay more for Henry. History is on my side look back when we got a 4th from GB for Darick Holmes when he was on the last year of his contract. Henry is a lot better than Holmes was, yet on draft day we won't be able to do much better than a late 3rd, maybe a lot worse. Patience may have to continue months after the draft, but once someone loses their #1 back, TD will get a call about Travis.

Top 3 Boys: Anwar, Mario, Anthony Girls: Jessica, Nadia, Vonelle (hon mention Carrie) Must go: 1)Janay (she's got to have relatives at the phone company because she's been the worst for weeks) I liked Simon's horoscope reading for her-packing her bags & leaving. 2)Mikalah-totally outclassed by the rest of the remaining contestants. None of the boys is a must go, but Constantine & Travis are my lowest rated. Nikko & Scott are on borrowed time. So are Amanda & Lindsay.

Paid in full the day the bill arrived. It helps to have only one seat (Petrino has 2 next to me)

Give me a break! Stop going back in team history & digging up bad things. We had enough of this in 1998-2000. All you did was take 1998 and regurgitate it. I get it, you wanted Flutie over RJ-give it up!

Even though he left on less than perfect terms, congratulations AJ! I met AJ once at a St. Francis HS game & he seems like a really nice guy. My friend who teaches there had a minor heart attack a couple of years ago & one of the 1st get well messages that he got was in an envelope with the San Diego Chargers return address-It was from AJ Smith. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=nfl&id=2007332

Travis got a 9, not the worst, but others did better.

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to link it up.

ESPN news reported Jeff Reed re-signed with Pittsburgh. Realistcally, it's Nugent or another rookie K who we can get at a more reasonable round. Otherwise it's Lindell (Please No!)

He said in his media briefing today that he can play G/C. Said he's not much of a tackle.

Which finger is 2nd & which is 4th? Do you do thumb or pinky 1st?

TD & MM are quaking in their boots knowing how closely you'll be watching. The coaches spent every day with JP and are evaluating him based on observation. You don't have any idea what they've seen, they have & made an informed decision knowing JP & DB up close.

If you watched Warner play, you'd be scared if you were his coach. Anyone who thinks Bledsoe is done, multiply that by 100 & you've got Kurt Warner. He was good for about 6 games this year & was done. The Giants lost his last 3 games before he got benched. I watched him in training camp and within minutes I said to the Giant fan next to me that when the regular season defenses kick in he's dead meat because he is slow & indecisive in the pocket....sound familiar?

Here's a picture of the guy who will be starting alongside Sam Adams on opening day. http://www.buffalobills.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=122558

For everyone's sake, I hope he doesn't stay here a long time-here's why. When Bills get Super, JG gets a head coaching job & TK moves up to DC. When Bills stay Super, TK gets a head coaching job. If Bills are that good, MM is a God and TK can't be HC unless Ralph or whoever is being a cheapskate & MM leaves. Tim Krumrie will be a head coach in the NFL within 7 years, maybe a lot sooner.

Statistically, every team that has let Drew Bledsoe go proceeded to win 2 of the next 3 Super Bowls. I have data on my side & all you've got is your Drew loving gut

We do what the Giants did when they got to the Super Bowl in the 2000- you grab some old guy who has a year or 2 left after he's released for cap reasons & plug him in. Then we take care of the problem next year with a younger player. In today's NFL you go year to year. In 2000 the Giants plugged in Lomas Brown & Glen Parker and won the NFC.

Lighten up Francis. I was just giving Mayberry news, the "Lost another one" is from the Ditech commercial, I didn't want to leave a NM. No panic here.
