Jasper should be the new kicker.

My absolute favorite is in my signature. I doubt Tyson really meant it that way, but to me it's a perfect metaphor for the grind of human experience. Another favorite is from Carl Sagan... "To make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe." At first it's just a good chuckle, but upon further thought I think it's a really nice meditation on man's failure to consider the world outside his own frame of reference. What are some of your favorites?

The most efficient way to deal with ankle pain is suicide.

I thought it was an Amelia Earhart tribute.

+1 I disagree with this pervading sentiment that long-tenured coaches who haven't won championships need to be fired just to shake things up. The problem is that people, after a while, tend to equate "hasn't won it all" with "can't ever win it all". It's about realizing the potential of your team. This year's Sabres squad has the potential for a deep playoff run. If Lindy can't milk it out of them, then his job should be in jeopardy.

That sucks. I'll remember him as T-Bone the flamer on Arrested Development. RIP

Just think of how good I'll be when I branch out to lentil-independent topics.

KHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

Except I can safely say that, relative to expectations, the Sabres have never tanked during a season like the Eagles have this year. If the Sabres have an overall down year (a first round playoff exit or worse) I have no problem canning Lindy.

As promised, here's my full review of The Muppets - the first edition of my new Reviewsday Tuesday column. Not much in the way of spoilers, so feel free to read if you haven't yet seen the movie. Comment if you wish. http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/reviewsday-tuesday-the-muppets/1202

Thanks guys. San Jose Bills Fan is the undisputed valedictorian of the TSW Class of '08, but I'm happy to give the salutatory speech if it's hoisted upon me. And Lana, I haven't so much looked a lentil in the eye since my 3 week binge. Read more carefully. Everybody gets one lentil. ONE. And you'll eat it and like it, dang nabbit.

Next round of Lentils is on me! YOU GET A LENTIL AND YOU GET A LENTIL AND YOU GET A LENTIL EVERYBODY GETS A LENTIL

Yes, upon some research Karis Almy is a sufferer of Krabbe who's involved with Hunter's Hope. Prayers regardless, of course. Each child fighting for his or her life is one too many.

I'd be surprised to find out that Nicks wasn't concussed on that play. Manning continues to thrive despite losing weapons. Gotta give credit.

So long as we're talking fantasy, I invested $27 in Jermichael Finley when I could've had Graham for $12.

Will Smith - 15 yards for touching the quarterback.

Yes, but with even more penetration into the backfield.

Wow. Hope you had a good comeback for that one.

I'm full on rooting for my fantasy team. Nicks and Kasay need to total fewer than 15.2 points (non ppr league) and I'm a virtual shoe in for the playoffs.

You can't hug a child with nuclear arms.

I thought it was a funny moment, but probably just a brain fart rather than incompetence.

Alex Van Pelt to return as QB Coach/#2 QB

The syntax confused me too, but I believe he's saying Gailey as HC and Turner as OC. One thing I wonder about - a lot of people want to replace Edwards with Wannstedt. As Assistant HC, don't you suppose that Wanny has already had quite a say in regards to the defense?

Seriously, you would have thought an entire decade is long enough to no longer be walking around on egg shells. Guess not.

The Bills are on the doorstep of greatness. However, the door is locked from the inside and they're afraid to knock because Mean Old Man Belichick lives there.
