lol @ the blatant tampering by the Buffalo Bills with Mario Williams.

how so?

[Rayman]

how so?

from "a source"

This is a true story, it would take the Bills to make it so obvious.

FA started at 4pm Est time, Mario boarded a private jet with tail number NH** (sorry was asked to keep the last 2 digits off) at 2:07CDT (according to flight records). From run way to run way it is 1366 miles or about 2 hours and 50 minute flight time. His jet landed in Rochester NY at 5:13EST.

How is it that Jet made it 1366 miles or made a 2hr and 50min flight in only 1hr and 13min unless the Jet actually left earlier? Despite all that and assuming the records are wrong and the jet arrived at 6:50EST (Which we all know did not happen), how is it the Bills contacted Williams agent and arranged a flight in less then 7 minutes?

Better yet, 3 rooms at the Courtyard Brighton were booked by the Bills under a alias (Sorry can't say, used to be what I did) for tonight and tomorrow 3 days ago. Normally you would think this is business as usual, the Bills were certain they would need them, they surely would have someone in for a visit.....right.......uh yeah. Hotel staff was instructed to express their excitement for the guests to make them feel welcome. One hotel staffer was instructed to address the guest as "Mario" and not "Mr. Williams" as it was told Mario quickly reminds anyone who does so that Mr. Williams is reserved for his grandfather.

This is from a guy I know and trust.

Let's ask Mr's Mara and Goodell if this is kosher.

[Leftwich]

I'm patiently waiting on Jacksonville.

[Rayman]

Fuck you if you take Laurent Robinson away.

Romo needs to call his ass up and deliver a "you weren'r shit before the day I met you" speech.

Reggie Wayne re-signing a three-year deal with Colts. Agreement reached.

Reggie Wayne reaches agreement with Colts

unexpected.

[Berowsk]

Whoops, forgot story:

Reggie Wayne confirmed tonight that he has agreed to a three-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts, only hours after his contract had lapsed and he had become a free agent.

Profootballtalk.com reported the deal was valued at $17.5 million.

The Colts lost wide receiver Pierre Garcon, 25, earlier in the day when he signed a six-year, $42.5 million contract with the Washington Redskins. That threatened to leave the Colts without their No. 1, Wayne, and No. 2 receivers with a rookie quarterback, probably Stanford’s Andrew Luck expected to be their first pick in the April draft.

Wayne’s signing assured Luck will have a steady hand and savvy head working on the outside.

Wayne is an 11-year veteran and five-time Pro Bowl player.

[Bear Pand]

Yes. Now I could give two fucks about Garcon.

Sorry Peyton.

[Berowsk]

7.5 is guaranteed.

Dwight Lowery resigns with Jags, Carlos Rogers wrapping up talks in San Fran.

[Berowsk]

An hour or two ago, Harry Douglas and Chris Redman agreed to new deals with the Falcons. Don't know if it was posted yet.

[dave]

7.5 is guaranteed.

For all that Wayne has done for that franchise, the entire deal should have been guaranteed ... hell, just for the fact that he re-signed with Indy.

If Al DAVEis hadn't passed away, I'd have a very difficult time deciphering you two apart.

[dave]

If Al DAVEis hadn't passed away, I'd have a very difficult time deciphering you two apart.

Why?

It's $17.5M guaranteed for a guy in his early 30s who is still incredibly productive. It's not like they're giving $100M over 6 years.

Reggie Wayne has earned that money, fair and square. His jersey # will be on Lucas Oil Manning Stadium wall in five years.
