Maybe, maybe not. If Peters can play LT, it might work to our advantage since picking up a free agent RT would be less expensive than a LT.

Somehow I imagine these posts would sound different if this guy played for Miami.

Gregg Easterbrook talks about this occasionally on his TMQ column (during the season, of course). He always brings up how NFL players typically only see a fraction of what they sign for. Usually, a big deal is made about how large a contract a player signs, but the reality is that contracts for the more expensive players rarely get beyond the first few years, after which most of the money is loaded.

Unless your dad always came home really late after drinking too much and banging the secretary at a local motel...whoops, never mind.

Kind of a strange argument to me, seeing that it sounds like the Bills wanted and tried to move up to take Ben, but couldn't. So why even include it as an option?

The request to raise his arm to prove his shoulder really isn't a bag of jello?

Because we all know you build your lines with only first round picks.

I thought that right after I posted it!

I don't give a crap who our first round pick is, if these guys are serious about the O-line and D-line and follow through I'll be a happy guy.

If only we could get our offensive linemen to use mace during a game...

Damn, I was so close to saying Josh Reed, but I switched to Moulds at the last minute because I figured he'd be more likely to be gone next year.

1. Beatles, Yellow Submarine: "Sea of Holes" 2. Shrouded, I guess. 3. The ones in Canada are trying to pick up male hockey players. 4. Eric Moulds 5. Who knows, probably some horse.

I can't comment on that until I've had a chance to review the tapes.

From this article on Yahoo about XL winners and losers: "Loser: Sports Illustrated cover jinx But only barely. The magazine screwed up when it started selling its "Steelers Championship Package" on its website before the game even started. If you typed in "www.sipittsburghoffer.com," up came an order form for all sorts of Steelers championship junk. But there was no such Seattle package. In fact, when you typed "www.siseattleoffer.com," the Pittsburgh one came up." Cue the spooky music...

Did it actually sound like Al Michaels was "telling" people in the booth for Seattle to challenge the Rothlisberger TD call? I wasn't sure if I heard it right, but it kind of sounded like he was urging Seattle to get it overturned. I may have heard it incorrectly, though.

I expect the halftime performances to be mediocre, but what I really can't stand is how the NFL seems to hire people to stand on the field by the stage and jump up and down like they were in a constant state of orgasm.

But think of the great feel-good story as Marv Levy comes back to the Bills and finally leads them to Super Bowl victory! I, for one, am hoping for that angle once we make it back.

Hell, all I know is, if a player is unconscious and partially out of bounds, and the ball is inbounds but touching any part of the player's body, then the ball is out of bounds! Case closed!

Perhaps, but Seattle sure didn't help themselves by dragging their feet at the end of the first half. WTF was up with that? Seems pretty questionable to me. Kinda like Philly not trying too hard to win it last year...

Ya give them an inch, they'll end up taking a yard, my friend.

I don't like Nate all that much (hate showboaters), but I still think he's better than anybody else we have. And at that price, you can't not keep him around. That said, with such a small price tag, he sure would be a nice target for a tag and trade. I'm sure a lot of other teams would consider trading for that one-year salary.

If they continue with "Ask the Coach" and "Ask the GM", at least we'll get to read something with real words and grammar. And they may actually tell us something.

Mental note: Must remember to stay away from posts with all capital letters.

Please stop this. I beg you.
