A case for the throwback uniforms

I like the throwbacks more, but I can't agree with the people who insist the new uniforms are "hideous."

Edwards Injured During Batting Practice

Someone has an injury obsession. :)

Sounds like a sore groin and a blister on his hand. I had to chuckle when I read this. I love Trent.

Steep odds at the Pats

Steep odds at the Pats

10 points! Come on, it should be more like 9.5. Bills get no respect. Oh, well. If you like to fly under the radar, you like this spread.

Who knows Donte?

Who knows Donte?

I would love for a Rumbler to win this meet-and-greet!!!

The most interesting thing about this is how Verizon and the Bills stuck with Donte to be the featured player for this promo while he has unresolved legal battles.

If a Bill Were a Beer

As an aside to the exciting draft speculation and tabulation, would you like to play an analogy game? (You must be 21 or older to continue.) I have paired some of my favorite Bills with a beer which he has something in common. Since a game like this relies on personal taste, I won't take it personally if you disagree.

I must give credit to Blazers Edge for this idea.

Fred Jackson Samuel Adams Boston Lager
Nationaly recognised name, and many people agree the quality is often worth the price.

Marshawn Lynch   Colt 45
    Hits you "stupid fast" and hard.

Chris Kelsay   Michelobe Ultra
    "But I thought I ordered a beer!"

Terrence McGee   Labatt Blue
    Good old standby, and once and a while, you don't want anything more.

Terrel Owens   Chimay Trappist
    An expensive, refined drink, which causes euphoric reactions in some. It also is very likely to cause a major headache.

Trent Edwards Your latest homebrew
    Ever since that great batch back in the eighties, you have been trying to perfect the recipe. There have been some bad ones lately, but this last one is almost fully fermented, and you feel subtle excitement about the results. You do like the early samples you have been opening.

Arron Schobel   2003 Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout
    Waaayyy back behind the old pickle jars, you find a bottle of beer you bought a long time ago. Good bottle, but you have to wonder how well Oatmeal Stout ages...

James Hardy 24oz Can Coors Banquet Beer
    What could be better than a 'Banquet Beer?' Just the name makes you forget the questionable flavor.

Leodis McKelvin   MGD Bottle
    #11 pick in last years Genuine Draft! Ha!      ...just a play on words. Kinda weak, I know.

Paul Pozluszny   Budweiser American Ale
    Both the true beer drinkers and fathful Bud drinkers couldn't wrap thier minds around this at first, but the beer is better than most in its market.

Marcus Stroud   Guinness Stout
    Thuper thick. Super sick, as in, so good you bought a keg for your kegerator. (That's a lot of $$)

Donte Whitner   Heineken
    Lot's of hype, little taste. Sure it's better than 60% of what's offered at any given bar, but more and more I notice the taste is disappointing.

Ashton Youboty   Shiner Bock
    I rarley see this beer on the shelves, but it has always been smooth and delicious.

Mike Jefferson   Bozone Select Amber Ale
    You probably don't know either of these names, and probably won't. Jefferson is a WR that went to my school in Bozeman. Select Amber is very good, by the way.

An x-Bill LT   Harvest Moon Pigs Ass Porter
    Pigs Ass is one of the the best porters avalible in America.

Owens not voluntary

Owens not voluntary

No surprise here. The guy is probably in the middle of some crazy workout regimen. The Bills voluntary workouts might slow him down :)

Jets continue to sign FA's

Jets continue to sign FA's

It seems like Rumblers have a lower opinion of Leonhard than the rest of the NFL. I don't have much to love about Jim, but his playoff performance last year was hot.

Peace out Coles

Peace out Coles

Sign with the Bills. Rumblers have at least $31 EXTRA dollars to add to that signing bonus!

ESPN video discussion regarding Marshawn

These guys go right to the point: how is this going to effect the offense?
