    Confirmed: Spikes is in town getting a physical

    I am not the sources type, but I have seen this pick up steam. Apparently Spikes is in town and getting a physical at the University of Buffalo. I don't know if this is typical procedure or not but it got enough legs on Twitter I thought it was worth sharing.

    #forwhatitsworth
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    I can only assume that means we have legit interest and a contract may be on the table.

    I hope he's not the massive liability on passing downs he's made out to be.

    I liked him well enough coming out of UF but I can't say I've focused on him individually during his career with the Pats.

      He's probably just in town to grab a beef on weck then hit the Canadian Ballet.

        Well, no wonder nobody has heard anything, he's probably wandering around the North campus, lost.

          I won't believe anything until someone reports him being at the airport. Just like Jay Cutler was. Or was that his agent?
          True fans want wins, not draft picks.

                    That's exactly why I sited that. I don't know what the Bills standard practice is for this. If that's totally uncommon than I would chalk this up as garbage.
                    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

                      I also think it's weird Whaley would show his hand with Kiko and Rivers if nothing was in place?

                          i prefer to avoid patriot players because they are products of their system. I also believe that that system involves cheating and things that provide them a significant edge. When is the last guy other than Welker who left the patriots and were even half the player they used to be?

                          i'd rather just straight out miss taking a patriot player and focus on the other 31 teams free agents.

                            I think on offense, you may be more correct...their defensive system to me is different. Spikes is a run defender and not a ton else, but thats what we need.

                              Richard Seymour played well for a number of years for the Raiders after leaving the Pats*.

                              And with Pepper Johnson now on the Bills, the Bills should have some insight on the Pats*

                              And Pepper said he was looking forward to beating the Pats* every time the Bills play them.

                              I think there is some bad blood there.
