No thanks. He's 32, lets see what the young guys can do.

What does some drunk fighting a security guard have to do with people screaming in jubilation when something good happens? Go almost anywhere else in the world and people will be shocked to hear how prude and backward Americans are when it comes to sex/profanity. It's absolutely hilarious that people have no problem bringing their kids to a brutal and violent game, yet get offended if someone uses the F word.

Nope. Does it matter? All of this "family friendly" nonsense is about parents not wanting to explain things to their children... not any damage it will do to little Johnny.

They're just words. Sometimes you just gotta laugh at all the neo-puritans running around in this country.

Racist

The fact that we offered more money for Clabo DID NOT originate on this board.

This is the problem with Bills fans. If a player is not in the pro bowl his first year, he sucks. Bell is developing nicely, and it would be utter stupidity to sign a journeyman and stunt his growth.

Prosecutors aren't suppose to divulge information about cases before they go to grand jury to avoid convicting the innocent. Leaking things to the media contaminates the jury pool.

You do realize this has nothing to do with NYS, right? And furthermore, even IF they were bringing chargers against Merriman, they CANNOT talk to the NFL. It is illegal to divulge information about a case before it goes to grand jury.

Read the article. Merriman wasn't in possession of anything illegal. Border Patrol has no duty to provide the NFL with anything, and may be breaking confidentiality rules/laws.

NFL: Hi, this the NFL, we would like to speak about rumors that Shawne Merriman was detained at the border, and PEDs were confiscated Border Patrol: Sorry, I can't comment about specific cases due to confidentiality rules. The end.

Yeah, like the Federal Government is just going to give it to the NFL. Maybe I should contact Border patrol about getting some of the booze they confiscate everyday, I'm sure they would be more than willing.

Moran says he wasn't arrested because it isn't illegal to be in possession of them. That means there is zero evidence, other than hearsay, that it actually happened.

http://twitter.com/#!/patrickmoranBSD Looks like Merriman will be cut soon. Hard to imagine the Bills keeping him if he's suspended a whole year.

I guess it's true according to Moran. Look for Merriman to be cut soon.

So he considers a trade or signing as franchise altering news? I would put Merriman being suspended for a year in the same category as those.

If this is true, how is Merriman still on the team?

Not to mention the Bills would be starting a player that they know will be suspended for an entire year. If this rumor were true, Merriman would have been cut a long time ago.

Yes, and how would they even know what was confiscated? Are they going to kindly ask the federal government to break confidentiality laws?

If it was legal they wouldn't confiscate it. In fact, if it was anything legal, the NFL couldn't do a damn thing. The NFL can't suspend someone over rumors.

So he was caught with steroids crossing the boarder and didn't get arrested? That's considered international drug trafficking.

He's legit enough that I take everything he says with a grain of salt, rather than completely ignoring it.

Sanchez not being very good probably makes him the most nervous.

Maybe ratings wise, but that's debatable. Critically it doesn't even come close.
