Does anybody happen to know where he is having his surgery? Just wondering if he's keeping it local or going to one of the top flight places like Sloan Kettering, MD Anderson, etc.

Every cancer is different and one umbrella cure is not possible. Great strides have been made in certain cancers like skin, prostate, breast and even childhood leukemia where survival rates are many times better than they ever were and in some cases the odds are AGAINST death. Lots of good work is happening and will continue to happen. Genomic research is leading to customized regimens of chemotherapy. Just a few short years ago oncologists would just blast away at your cancer with whatever drugs they had in their arsenal. Now we are beginning to read a person's genetic profile and know what drugs they are more or less likely to respond to. It's amazing stuff. Again, I am not a scientist nor do I pretend to be one. In my line of work, I am around this stuff a lot though, and pick up what I can here and there. In the meantime, we fight as best we can. F#*% cancer! Kick it's ass, Jim!!!

I'm not a scientist or doctor, but I'm pretty sure squamous cells are a broad category of cells within the head and neck and that what Jim has is cancer of the jaw bone, not cancer of the skin as this link suggests. But I will defer to my more learned TSW associates. Also, before the haters swoop in again, all good vibes and well wishes currently being broadcast toward WNY for a speedy recovery. Get well soon, Jimbo!

Hahaha, yeah. The worst is Vaugebooking. When people post things like "OMG, praying for this to end." It sounds like someone is being abused by their husband, but usually it's something ridiculously banal like the person in front of you has 12 items in the 10 items or less line. That's why I only use Facebook status updates for the only two things it should ever be used for: Bitching about sports and quoting random song lyrics.

Not soon enough.

I wonder if it's White Power Bill.

It's like the more money we come across, the more problems we see.

I hear Whaley went to Pitt.

I get the whole thing about wanting to draft guys with character, but I seem to remember an old Hunter S. Thompson quote about linebackers. That you kind of need them to be savage monsters to do their job effectively.

[shrugs] It's a pretty quiet time in the football year. Front office shifts, OTAs, not exactly what casual sports fans care much about.

I'm very interested to see how the up-tempo program translates to training camp at Fisher. Last year (my first spending any real time there, over the course of a couple days) it seemed like an awful lot of standing around punctuated by the occasional air horn and drill.

I don't know why any of these guys get married in the first place, unless its a high school sweetheart type deal where they've known each other forever, since way before anyone in the relationship got rich and famous.

Hope she doesn't end up ground up and in the freezer.

Wow, so helicopter parenting even extends to the NFL draft.

I admire Marrone for being so forthright and admitting he preferred EJ over Nassib. He could've just as easily hid behind something like "Well, of course I like Ryan, but the final say-so is with the GM, so it was out of my hands."

Players' success has so much to with scheme, this has the potential to be a win-win for both Indy and the Bills. As others have said, I love the proactivity. 48 hours out of the draft, and they're still tinkering.

So that means everyone got a passing grade? Nice curve, hair helmet.

Edit: Poking around on twitter seems to indicate he'll wear #10.

Cool. I know receivers started wearing 10-19 somewhat recently, but didn't think single digits were on the table for them. I can't even think of a single guy who ever wore #1 for the Bills.

Is he really going to wear #1? Bills store homepage seems to say so.

Doom. Also gloom.

You have to admit, though... "All Time Pollys" would be an excellent name for a band.
