Special K

I had WVU over Duke, but I have Xavier over WVU in the next round. However, if I could change that pick to WVU, I would.

Not doing that well because 3 out of 4 of my upsets didn't pan out.....hoping for a big comeback in the later rounds.

Ted Wahington James Lofton is a close second for me.

Apparently, a new trend among rich people is to own cats that are a cross between African Leopards and domestic house cats. Man these things are kind of freakish-looking, and according to the article, they cost $22,000. I really don't get the purpose of this, but I hope one of these cats has a freakout and goes all "Sigfried and Roy" on one of these rich a-holes. http://shopping.yahoo.com/articles/yshoppi...he-window-22000

I thought Paris Hilton and Britney Spears already had that covered.

One man owns the title of the top four stupidest rap names: 1. Diddy 2. P. Diddy 3. Puffy 4. Puff Daddy I'm also not a big fan of the name "Chingy"....it sounds more like a medical condition than a name.

I knew The Man was responsible for this! Here's someone who would agree with you: http://youtube.com/watch?v=QU_PB1g7szc&feature=related

Avatar up! Not the picture you're talking about, but I don't think you will be disappointed.

a

that's

done! FWIW, a picture I was able to load in as an avatar two weeks ago won't load now because says that the picture is too big. I guess I'll just wait a few days...

I just wanted to see how long it would take for a "you got to get a hold of your life" post from someone. Looks like about one minute! Not too shabby.

What's the post# to get off the practice squad?? 100??

All the way back down to 50 posts, although I don't really care how many posts I have-- I just don't like being back in the "practice squad" group...what an insult!!

Careful!! A post like this could cause the site to crash again!!

I had low expectations for him when the Bills signed him last year, however I had no idea he could be such a special teams ace. As the "gunner" on punt coverage, he always seemed to be in the face of the punt returner immediately. I wouldn't blame him if he is looking for a more expanded offensive role somewhere else, though.

When the release of the schedule was delayed, I joked with my friends that the reason for the delay was because the league forgot to schedule the Bills road game against the Pats after the Pats bye week, since it seems to happen every year!

That's right. Before the free agency period began, it was reported that Clements was Washington's #1 FA target. Obviously, they could not match SF's offer, however under the franchise tag scenario, Buffalo would have been able to limit NC's options to teams who could work out a trade with the Bills. Given the Redskins apparent interest in trading the #6 pick for other team's franchise players, why wouldn't they be interested in trading with Buffalo too. My main point was that the trade rumors involving Washington just makes it hurt worse that the Bills made a deal with Clements not to francise him this year.

Read the first part of the line you quoted---I said if the Bills would have franchised Clements. Therefore, if Clements was franchised, he would not be able to sign with anyone for no compensation. Under this scenario, Washington may have pursued the same trade deal with Buffalo for Clements as they have for franchised players Briggs and Samuel.

.

Remember.... Washington wanted to swap first rounders with Chicago for Briggs, a franchise player. Why do you think a swap of first rounders with NE for Samuel would be out of the question? My understanding was that the reason Chicago turned down the offer was because they didn't want to pay the contract a sixth pick in the draft would command. This wouln't be the case with NE, and they would still have their second first round pick to replace Samuel. Filling two secondary needs with the best safety in the draft and most likely the second or third best CB in the draft while moving a player who I believe has asked for a trade would be a great move for the hated Pats. Think about this---- If Buffalo would have been able to franchise Clements, Washington would have been knocking on Buffalo's door offering the sixth pick, and with your scenario, the sixth pick straight up, for Clements.

Make that the achilles tendon.... This was the only thing of value from the segment, however, everyone knows the Bills need a MLB and a RB. I would be happy if those were the first two picks, though.

The best option at this point is to keep all options open. It was definitely a good idea to get Turner in to OBD to get a feel for what kind of guy he is and to see what kind of contract his agent is looking for. Armed with that information, the Bills can weigh the value of a trade for Turner as opposed to the draft day options at RB.
