I don't want to overanalyze or anything but when someone goes around calling people "moron", yet they themselves don't know how to spell "truly" and also use the word "Your" when it should be "You're", it can become quite amusing. Oh, and I don't have a problem with you being Polish at all. Obviously that problem has affected you though.

You're absolutely right, he's being paid "starter money". Now he has to match that with "starter level play" or else he will sit his butt on the bench. Marv, Jaruon and Co see some obvious potential in him that if he plays up to, he will no doubt start. Since he has yet to prove himself as anything more then an average RT, nothing is given and he will have to earn it, regardless of how much he is being paid. Oh, by the way..............you wouldn't happen to be Polish, would you?

Oh, you're right................the Bills way overpaid this average at best RT and gave him the position strictly because of the money they're dishing out. Nice job bonehead but things don't work that way in the NFL, nothing is given to anyone. No one is saying Pennington is definitely penciled in as our starting RT just like nobody, including from the Bills organization have confirmed that Walker is starting. Things will play out and the best player by the end of the pre-season will take it.

I tried to delete the original post not realizing there were so many other similar threads out there and all I could find was the "edit" or "reply" comment. So I changed the subject, started a new thread, and was hoping you would delete your original response. Obviously that didn't happen so while you keep dwelling on the original post and continuing to cry about things, other people are moving on and only responding to the new subject. Get over it!

I'm thinking Preston and then Pennington beating out Langston Walker.

I agree with everything you said. The one thing that concerns me though is that I always give people the benefit of the doubt and respect their posts without being a wise guy about it. There is a right way and wrong way to disagree. I think you and I both know what I'm talking about and the integrity of this board. Yes, sometimes you have to have thick skin with some of the comments but it soon becomes a little tiresome after awhile when you know its only a matter of minutes before someone finds something in your post that they are just dying to rip apart. Sometimes I have even found myself being a wise guy back and that just makes things worse so I'm not going down that road anymore. I would think people would have better things to do with their time but maybe not. I guess to each his/her own and if thats what make some people happy, all the more power to them. I also talked with a guy from my job who went to Cal and saw Marshawn Lynch in person but he seemed to be on the Marshawn Lynch bandwagon so the perspective he gave me on Lynch seemed to be tainted where as this guy last night talking about Willis seemed the utmost sincere and honest, regardless of whether he got that from his nephew. I think if the nephew has been going to school with Willis during his tenure there, he would know based on school talk alone what kind of person Willis basically is from the people who actually do know him. Its not that far fetched and unrealistic for his uncle's statements to be on the money when everyone else's comments seem to back it up. Find me one source that gives Patrick Willis the football player or Patrick Willis the person, a bad review. I'm not saying he is the savior for our franchise but it sure looks alot better with a player of his on and off field potential in a Bills uniform then a Willis (give me another woman to get pregnant) McGahee.

Thats indirect info from someone who goes to the same school, not "outside tidbits" Thats better info then you and I can come up with personally together on the guy

Oh, by the way, about 3 weeks ago I waited on Art Monk, Darrell Green, and Ken Harvey in a private boardroom party of 14 to celebrate Art Monk and his wife's 25 Wedding Anniversary. All 3 guys and their wives were nothing but pure class. I wasn't familiar with the other people there but they were all extremely nice too. Art Monk bought his wife a brand new Mercedes SUV for the Anniversay gift and it was parked outside the restaurant to surprise her after dinner. Later on that week, Gilbert Areneas came in with Deshawn Stevenson and some other guys/gals for a late night dinner after the game. They too were totally cool and it was a fun experience. Now famous people and athletes come into Mortons all the time and I'm not always the one who gets to wait on these people but I had an extremely luck week. Its alot of fun for a part-time (second job) and besides, its incredible money. Now whether you want to believe this post or any other posts I make based on the fact you don't know me personally, thats totally up to you and basically, I could care less. Regardless of your negative perceptions, it doesn't change the fact that these things really happened.

Try sticking to talking football. After all, thats what this message board is all about, right??

No one is getting upset here, just stating two facts. I usually don't post because of the same few wiseguys and it happens every time I post. Just calling a spade a spade. Sorry if being honest gave you the perception I was upset. If you think I just made this whole story up, you're entitled to that opinion. Fortunately, I have better things to do with my time then post "made up stories" on this website. I thought by coming across someone who actually saw Willis play in person several times and by getting some campus scoop of what he was like as a person, some people might be interested. By the way, nobody is saying we should draft Patick Willis or else we're doomed. Its just a fun time of the year and exciting to think about Patrick Willis possibly coming to our team and hearing NOTHING BUT POSITIVE THINGS about this guy no matter what you read or who you talk to. Whether it be a professional scout, coach, Ole Miss student, or anyone who has come in contact with him or knows about him, this guy gets rave reviews and a Willis McGahee he is definitely NOT!

The jokes and wise guy comments get a little old when they happen on every single post a person makes.

One of the reasons why I don't like to post on these boards, always has to be a wise guy who has nothing better to do.

I was waiting on a table of 11 people last night at Morton's of Chicago Steakhouse where I have worked my second job for the last 7 1/2 years. I heard one of the guys mention "Ole Miss" in his conversations and I just had to churp in since they seemed like such a cool group to begin with and wouldn't mind my curiousity. I asked if they were talking about Ole Miss University and if they knew anything about Patrick Willis. The one guy mentioned to me that his nephew presently attends Ole Miss and he was able to catch a few games in person this year. He said Willis is just an unbelievably awesome player but more importantly, he ALSO is a high character guy who would be a great person to have on our team (both on and off the field). Very fast and strong player. He also said that Willis is a tireless worker when it comes to improving and becoming a better player/person and never forgets his roots or where he came from. I asked him if he ever met Patrick in person and although he said no, he was more then happy tjust to be able to see him play in person. He said everyone who follows Ole Miss is following every bit of conversation leading up to the draft and where Patrick may land and he seems to agree with me that if its not the 49ers first, the Bills will be primed to snatch him up. It also seemed like he got his perception of Patrick Willis from his nephew who obviously might know better then all of us what kind of person he must be. The more I hear about this kid, the more I want him playing LB for the Bills in 2007 and anything short of that would be disappointing. He would be a great centerpiece of our defense for the next decade.

I figured you would say something like that. You always seem to know everything.

Regardless of Spikes injury problems and large contract, I will really miss Takeo and everything he brought to the table each and every time he put on a Bills uniform. He was a class act and his heart and soul was matched by our other classy and fearless former leader, London Fletcher. I'm curious how the other members of the Bills team are handling all these changes. Who will step up and be our new leaders of this young and talented team? Maybe Crowell or Jason Peters? I agree with the moves the Bills are making but I only wish we could have been a more productive team during Spike's and London's tenure. I don't think it was their fault for not making the playoffs but rather Tom (Bonehead) Donohue for failing to address our offensive line and for trading multiple high draft picks for an overrated and overpaid stiff in Bledsoe that arguably set our franchise back a couple of years. Bledsoe never won a big game in a Bills uniform, never. When the game was on the line against a tough opponent, his production was horrendous. I just hope that the current crop of good young Bills players (along with another solid draft this year by Marv and Co.) will truly believe in themselves, be highly productive, and bring a winning tradition back to the Buffalo Bills to stay. Marv has really won me over with all these moves, regardless of how much I will miss Spikes and Fletch and even Clements (minus the fat contract). The surprises are not over and I'm sure they have something big up their sleeve for draft day, especially considering the Bills have traded back up into the first round 2 of the last 3 drafts. I know its a dream but if Peterson fell to 12, and Willis fell to somewhere in the 20's and we traded back up in the first round once again to get him too, I would be estatic, regardless of what happened the rest of the draft. I know those two things happening are a dream but not totally impossible.
