I'm sure many will find his re-do of Buffalo's pick interesting....

....I do enjoy instigating.

Via Yahoo Sports, via Vic Carucci:

"You're probably talking about $50 million over five years and maybe even a piece of the team," said a source close to Shanahan. "And by all indications, Wilson is ready to have that conversation."

Good freaking lord.

Tom Brady's a big-time star. So big, in fact, that he can't be troubled with small, meaningless details...like say, the name of the RB on the team he's about to face.

"Thomas, the running back, had a great game against us last year to end the year," Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said Wednesday on a conference call with Bills reporters.

Here's hoping Freddy makes his name even more well known on Monday night.

Per PFT, the 2010 draft will begin on Thursday night with the first round, rounds two and three on Friday night, and finish Saturday morning.

A sad, sad turn of events for my second favorite sports weekend of the whole year.

There were a few people around these parts interested in pursuing Jarmon in the supplemental draft...for the right price, of course.

Well, according to the Redskins and their horrid front office, that price is a third round pick next year. We have no idea if the Bills pursued Jarmon, but thank god they didn't waste a third round pick next year to get him.

Van Miller, the Bills longtime play-by-play announcer, has been nominated for the National Radio Hall of Fame.

Voting is open to the public, but an online registration is required. All self-respecting Bills fan should cast their vote for Van. The online balloting will close at midnight on Aug. 1st.

Van has called games from 1960–1971 and 1977–2003 and holds the record for NFL announcers with the same team.

Three University at Buffalo products -- guard Jeff Niedermier, offensive tackle Ray Norell and safety Adekunle Akingba -- were among 100 players showcasing their skills during a tryout with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday. The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Niedermier previously worked out for the Cleveland Browns during their rookie minicamp. Norell (6-6, 306) had an earlier tryout with the Cincinnati Bengals.

I hope Mark Wahlberg was there too.

"The Bills announced today that individual game tickets for their first three home games are sold out. That means the Tampa Bay game (Sept. 20), the New Orleans game (Sept. 27) and the Browns game (Oct. 11) will be full houses at the Ralph this fall."

Holy crap. I didn't even realize season ticket holders could purchase individual games yet. I better start collecting orders.

Also, I love the Bills and I love going to games at the Ralph, but this is getting ridiculous. No playoffs in 9 years and a crippling economic downturn, yet the Bills have already sold the 6th most season tickets in team history.

WBEN picked up a story originally posted by The Fort Worth Star-Telegram. In the original story, the company that built the Cowboys' new stadium has supposedly been approached by the Bills.

Mark Williams, the associate principal architect of HKS Inc. was quoted saying:

"We’ve been working with the [Minnesota] Vikings for about nine months, and they are still trying to get their funding. The [San Francisco] 49ers and the Buffalo Bills are thinking about doing something and also the [San Diego] Chargers and maybe the Atlanta Falcons. Those are the potential new stadiums in the NFL."
