CSBill Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Poor Sammy must have had hand cramps after all those sigs. Anyway, had him sign a mini helmet, and I was chomping at the bit to get it signed Or was it a "puny" helmet?
Dibs Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 The thread seems to have been hijacked, which I don't like, but I will give in and make it worse. Sorry everybody. I am not a grammar nazi, but I do think I have a solid grasp of the language. According to statistics, better than average (that might be sad for the stats). Why can't language evolve. Everything else does, and does so with gusto. Why does language have to play by the rules of the 1500's. Wrong is wrong and right is right, until things evolve, and then we accept that. I totally agree, however this isn't about the natural evolution of the English language. It is about the misquoting of an old saying by a member of the media. The old saying is "Champing at the bit", meaning to be excited to get started. If the public blindly accept such ineptitude, where will it lead? Will it become commonplace to hear "a diamond dozen" instead of "a dime a dozen"? Or "one foul swoop" instead of "fell swoop"? Or "nip it in the but" instead of "bud". Or perhaps "the end all be all" will become acceptable over "the be all and end all"?(too late for that one I feel). I am not adverse to a response to this. I'd like to say that I could care less but I am actually on tender hooks and for all intensive purposes this is not a mute point. Though it may be a doggy dog world, it can't be taken for granite that I and speaking tongue and cheek.
YoloinOhio Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 @mikerodak: Bills will have an early wake up call this morning. 8AM practice, then team will travel to Pittsburgh.
YoloinOhio Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 @buffalobills: NEWS: This morning's #BillsCamp practice has been cancelled and camp will be closed to the public.
Wayne Cubed Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 @buffalobills: NEWS: This morning's #BillsCamp practice has been cancelled and camp will be closed to the public. The second statement leads me to believe they are still going to practice, it will just be closed.
YoloinOhio Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 @mikerodak: Bills have closed practice to the public this morning. Rain in area @mikerodak: Instead of a full practice, Bills will have a brief walkthru and then head off to Pittsburgh

MikeG Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 anyone know where the Bills are staying in the Pittsburgh area? are they staying in Latrobe, where training camp is or just bussing it to and from while sleeping in Pittsburgh? Also, anyone planning to attend tomorrow and Thursday? I plan on being there both days...

Nanker Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Well, I'm champing at the bit to see some Bills chomping on some Steelers and I'll shiv the first mofo who tries to correct me on that!
Deranged Rhino Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Well, I'm champing at the bit to see some Bills chomping on some Steelers and I'll shiv the first mofo who tries to correct me on that! Actually... Wait. Never mind.

I wonder if we will see a re-enactment of this Watkins on Shazier crime:http://thebiglead.com/2014/04/10/2014-nfl-draft-how-much-value-should-be-placed-on-team-visits-answer-very-little/sammy-watkins-runs-over-ohio-state-defender-b/
Tu-Toned Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 anyone know where the Bills are staying in the Pittsburgh area? are they staying in Latrobe, where training camp is or just bussing it to and from while sleeping in Pittsburgh? Also, anyone planning to attend tomorrow and Thursday? I plan on being there both days... Someone told me that they are staying in Pittsburgh, exactly where, I do not know. Makes sense, Latrobe is a very small town and most of the hotel rooms up there are already occupied with rabid Stiller Fans! Going tomorrow, should be a blast!

Pretty sure they are glamping outside of Latrobe.
