Not in an NFL city, but in Syracuse where SU is followed like a pro team. Moved here as a kid, but never cared about them. Like a toxic chemical, the Bills are in my blood.

Don't know unless you try. Who thought Mario or Spikes would come here before they did. He may have thought he had a better chance of starting in Buffalo, if given the chance.

When I speak of a QB to challenge EJ, I'm talking about when free agency opened, and the obvious choice for me was Vick. They could have also brought in Sanchez. They didn't even give Tavares Jackson a chance when he was here. But in the short term, they should have got Orton signed earlier so he could have played a couple of preseason games.

Perhaps the argument last week at practice was Marrone complaining that when Whaley told him he would get a veteran backup, Marrone was expecting more than Palmer. But bringing a qualified veteran in earlier who may have outplayed EJ in the preseason would have looked bad if they insisted that EJ still start the season. They've never wanted a real competition.

The Bills didn't want anyone on the roster in preseason who could play better than EJ, knowing that if they did the fans would be calling for him to start over EJ. This way they can say EJ is the best QB who knows the play book. It's always been about justifying picking him in the first round and not giving him real competition.

There goes my fantasy football team.

Tavares Jackson is a UFA after this season. So is Tom Brady.

Have to give Sal points for endurance. He worked the morning show yesterday, was on sidelines during game, then hosted post game show until 11:30pm, and is back on air at 6am today.

It's funny how other teams don't show anything, but they still manage to score and even win in the preseason.

Is what the Bills do to their fans covered by the new domestic violence rules?

And there aren't even cheerleaders to watch instead of the game.

Like The Sound of Music, it repeats every year.

But, but, they're running a vanilla offensive plan. Just wait until they open up the play book next week. This is all just a strategy so teams underestimate them.

Sure, if the prices aren't inflated. He's doing the same work as a waitress that you would tip.

Howard Simon is my favorite host, I've liked him since the Empire Sports days. Humorous yet informative, and willing to allow debate. I don't mind negative comments about the sports teams, they're well deserved,but what I don't like about Schoop and Jeremy White is how they talk down to callers with different opinions. Sal can be a bit of a know-it-all at times, but he's fair to callers. I also like Matthew Collier, and Brian Kozial does a nice, fair job on Sabres game nights.

So how long before the heir apparent, Schwartz, takes over. Mid season or next season?

A woman in another dept. said a guy in her dept. cut his nails during their team meeting, and the manager didn't say anything about it.

In what ways has he progressed significantly? His throws are often off target, with the WR having to reach behind or high to catch the ball. He hasn't made many throws downfield over 20 yards. Is it because he's checking down because he's not confident he can make the pass, or the OC doesn't call the play because he doesn't think EJ can make it?

I was more suprised by the initial reports that anyone would pay more than $1 billion for a small market team that hasn't made the playoffs in 14 years.

This again? Let's spend another day debating whether EJ is good enough or they should have drafted a QB this year.

What, they've never heard of performance art before? Pedestrians!

Asphyxiation, must have hung himself.

Because coaches have big egos and think they're the one who can bring out the potential of another team's underachievers.

I'd be happy to share the wealth. Trade them EJ, CJ, and TJ for Cam Newton.
