"I wasn't thinking about cutting Walker three days ago. I wasn't thinking about it two weeks ago. And when you start to think about it, I think you need to move on it and do something." --Dick Jauron--

I'm going to be in Vegas in November on the weekend of the Pacquiao/Cotto fight, and I really wanted to go until I saw the ticket prices. Nosebleed tickets are $200, and tickets close enough to have a decent view start at $600-$3000. Its a shame, because like you, I think a seeing a big fight in Vegas would be an awesome experience.

Don't you mean Pop Warner?

Is my avatar "unacceptable" then??

He sure stunk it up in what I saw of that game...(most of the first half) Even the announcers made a comment that this was how he looked in the first half of last season, and that his rocketing up the draft boards was due to the last 5 games of last season only.

In Turk's little rant, he also said that Jauron was on his back all off-season...sounds like DJ was aware of the offense's suckitude......not a DJ supporter or anything, but Turk's comments just sound like "sour grapes" to me.

You should have started a seperate thread about this just to tick eball off!

Just speculation.....but could it be that high season ticket sales reflect a sub-conscious fear among Buffalonians that the city could lose the franchise if they don't turn out in droves reguardless of the quality of the product?

What exactly happened????

Nice Wings reference.....loved that show. Chef...you should definitely fly over to Nantucket while on your vacation.

That defensive idea just might work......we would have 12 players on the field and if the ref's don't notice, it would be one heck of an advantage!!

So you are saying that he is a one-dimensional receiver? You are proving my point that Lee isn't a true #1 receiver...a true #1 can do it all Like I said in the original post, I like Lee, I'm just stating the obvious fact that he hasn't shown the ability to handle the #1 receiver role, and if T.O. leaves after this year, the Bills will have to address the situation. (I guess I had to respond after all!)

Thanks for posting this......I was going to respond to the complaints in the thread, but I read your post and I couldn't have said it better

I hate to bash on Lee Evans because he is a good teammate and a good receiver, but it has become painfully obvious that he is not a number 1 receiver. My new nickname for him is "the Magician", because he has been doing a great disappearing act every gameday since the second half of last season. I'm not going to bash his contract either, because I understand you have to overpay sometimes to keep from creating a big hole on your team. Luckily for the Bills, he will be a number 2 receiver this season, and hopefully he can be Peerless Price to T.O.'s Eric Moulds circa 10 years ago, and put up some good numbers in a position in which he surely will be much more comfortable.(Obviously, I'm assuming T.O.'s return will keep the offense from being as horrid as it has been the last 2 weeks.) Unfortunately, the Bills will be in a tough spot if Owens leaves after this year, because top-line receiver help will have to be a high priority next offseason....and number 1 receivers are not easy to come by--just ask Lee Evans.

Nope, Nope, and Nope.

I watched the game with Jaguars announcers down here in Fla., which included former left tackle Tony Boselli. Boselli basically called out Peters when asked if the trade plus the contract extension was worth it for the Eagles. He said they did it based on his performance from 2-3 years ago and they are gambling that he will return to that form this year. He stated that not only was he out of shape last year because of contract proiblems, but that Peters' technique had markedly declined as well, and its a huge risk that the Eagles have taken.

I dislike Jones and the Cowboys as much as anyone, but there is a big difference between not winning a playoff game in a decade and not making the playoffs at all in a decade....just sayin'

He must have been using his other eye when he signed Preston

They actually had a show on ESPN Classic called "Cheap Seats"......not sure if they still show the reruns or not, but it was a pretty funny show.

you're 2 games short, dude

Do you really believe anyone would want to read it?

Just a thread bump to remind people that this is on tonight/tomorrow morning, depending on how you want to look at it.

I didn't understand why Gina let "her" up there either. I recall the announcers making a point to call it a big mistake as it was happening.

That's why I said in the original post that it was prob. a good thing he stopped it. To echo your point, when did the"Mixed" in Mixed Martial Arts start meaning a woman fighting a man???? Cyborg is an operation away from being a dude, IMO.
