That's not very conservative - that is ULTRA conservative.

In equal parts I was: Goth Punk/Rebel Geek Loner

NC is a class player. He deserves to get paid. But correct me if I am wrong, but we don't have very much wiggle room in the salary cap to shell out the blockbuster numbers that top CBs are getting at the moment. It's going to take some renegotiating by some of the bulkier contracts to allow us to keep NC and it also means we could be fairly stagnant in FA the next year also.

Well good morning then mate...er rather, good afternoon. Afternoon... NOW! So was your first game in Orchard Park everything you hoped it would be? I was in Orchard Park in 1997 to see a game against Denver... It was awesome. I didn't get the full tailgate experience until the 2nd time I came, and again with pinto Ron for the Miami game I visited. As an honorary Buffalonian, here's some other customized questions for you: Have you tried Buffalo style chicken wings? If so, did you like them? Yes and Yes. A bar downton. I went with HOT and they nearly took the roof of my mouth off! Have you ever had a Vindaloo? Did you go to the Broadway market in Buffalo and ask for bangers as you pointed at the Kielbasa? It wan't open Did you wear your "Wellies" to the December game? Were you the guy supplying Princess Di with cocaine? Do you know what disaster occured in New York City on September 11?* *trick question - the answer is the first ever Bills loss (1960) I joined TSW Have you ever walked across or been photographed at the famous Abbey Road crossing stipes? Yup. And cos I live in London I can go there whenever I want... What's up with all the bad teeth in England? That's a myth. But Dentistry over here was always paid for by the cheapo national health service, so you got a bad job when you went, or nowadays if you go private you have to auction half of your teeth to be able to afford it. Insurance for thart sort of thing isn't widespread yet. OK now.... you can go back to your bacon butties and tea. MMMMM I need a cuppa actually!

That UK Bills fan is me...

ESPN is awesome. I've never played a better NFL game than NFL 2K5. I was so disappointed with Madden05 - it had clunky graphics and the gameplay was not improved. ESPN is so slick, the player movements impressive, and so much better than Madden that I am probably not going to buy Madden06... Will wait for PS3 and the next gen NFL games to arrive in 2007.

hehehe i was only kidding anyway!! woah - ilove the long FFS posts... keeps away the boredom of work!!

Marino. Cox. Shula. Martz. JJ. Aikman. I hate coaches more than players...

I might be wrong - but I am not sure if we have any picks in the supplemental draft...

Absoluetly nothing! Go Bills!

Lemme guess - you want to chance the nameplate for a PARRISH one and save $200.....

I like that you can abbreviate him to FFS. Because that's what I think every time there is a tome to read....!! "FFS hows does he get time to write all this down??!"

OK OK I am a homer...

Fox Sports AFC East round up I read this article and realised that with JP and Gandy being the only *real* question marks over the upcoming season we have a lot to be upbeat about. Compare those problems to the Pats lack of an OC and all those other FO and personnel changes, the whole Ricky deal and that fact that the Dolphins suck anyway, the fact that Noodle Arm Pennington has probably been soaking that noodle in warm water for the last coupla season to make it evenmore limp and it adds up that we are looking pretty strong to have a runat the table this season. Or am I being a homer?

Jonas Jennings was injury prone. Drew Bledsoe was not.

Kent Hull Howard Ballard Cornelius Bennett Bryce Paup Ruben Brown In that order.

JP needs to win a ring. Then he needs to stick around as one of the leagues premier QB's for at least 6-7 seasons. He does that he'll be the best ever Bills QB. Just getting 1 ring will not do it for him in the long run.

Mince pie is awesome... Man I love Xmas when mince pies are around... My top 5 is: 1. Apple 2. Pecan 3. Rhubarb 4. Cherry 5. Pear Still, Rocks pie sounds goooood.

Hey there Bills Fan! 8) I thought I should let you know about the newest chapter of the Buffalo Bills Backers. To join the UK chapter and get invloved with Bills fans accross the UK go the BuffaloBills.com/fans and register in the Bills Backers Directory. Follow the instructions to join the UKBBB and I'll be in contact with details of the club. Bills Backers International (BBI) is an organization that registers individual Buffalo Bills fan clubs located throughout the World and networks them through buffalobills.com, the official website of the Bills. While the chapters are set up as individual entities and schedule their own gatherings, large group events are sponsored several times a year to bring many of the fans together. Being part of the organization is a great way to meet and greet fellow Bills fans from around the country and the world. I am trying to put together the most accurate, up-to-date and inclusive list of Bills fans from across the country. So no matter where you are, come game time you can always find fellow Bills fanatics to cheer on your team. When I have gotten a good number of Bills fans registered as members, we'll arrange a meeting someplace depending on where is easiest to get to. My preference would be London, so I can get a bar or restaurant to host us and become the official home of the Buffalo Bills in the UK. Being a member of a Bills backers organisation puts you in touch directly with the Bills, and that means reduced price accommodation if you are going to travel to the US to watch them play, ticket packages and more. I'm in negotiations with the Bills about what exactly we might offer to UK fans. The first ever Bills Backers Chapter was formed in 1987 and was one of the four original Bills Backer chapters - I want to recreate this and go through the nighs and lows of supporting the NFL greatest club with other fans decked in red, white and Bills blue. Bills fans think of this - if we get a big enough ground support together over here - we can lobby the Bills and the NFL to consider bringing the Bills back to UK shores when the American Bowl series starts again at Wembly....

I'm not surprised to see Gomez cut. He was average at TE for Amsterdam this year and with Dorenbos on the roster and apparantly rehabbing nicely it's senseless to keep him... We all knew that the guys allocated to NFLE would start to be cut. The Bills and TD do not have a history of supporting NFLE as well as some other teams. I guess they feel they can better develop guys by having them around the team rather than playing game speed football.

Happy Birthday chaps.

Has anyone seen a recent copy of ESPN The Magazine? A friend of mine from London Blitz is featured in it. His name is Lorn Mayers - DT Berlin Thunder. He may well be headed to the NFL for Oakland soon. He's only 19 and hes only played football for less that 2 years. Before he went to Berlin he'd played 2 games EVER.

We're 3-0 and playing a 4-game stretch starting Saturday...

I hit some hard times. Only just come thru them. I didn't want to come back here until I had managed to fulfil a couple of promises I made. BuffaloBud - your money is in the post. Sorry! Fez - crisps and chocolate are packaged and ready to go. Sorry....

Sage advice indeed. And worth bearing in mind this offseason.
