You're right Lori. Almost all headlines are written by copy editors not columnists. Btw, I love a good pun - the cornier the better!

Gringo Starr to Sportswriters: Drum down the puns - Reading them don't come easy

Exquisite work as always Lori. Thanks, that was a great read. I'd forgotten about the big Denver brouhaha. 5 years, $7.5 million. Seems like chump change now. It's funny how quickly the $$$ escalates. You can't even get a good punter for that kind of scratch these days.

Well said. Couldn't agree more. Btw, love your George Burns avatar.

He said he wants to play for 4 or 5 more years. Wanted to retire a Chief, but they don't want him. He's just two years removed from a 1,000 yd season. Not suggesting that the Bills go after him - I don't think he fits in Buffalo's mix. Do you think he'll catch on or is it time for Eddie to hang 'em up for good?

How about Don Smith, the Bills third down back in 1990. He had a sweet dive over the pile TD in Superbowl XXV

A great episode all around. When Locke held the lantern up to reveal Claire in the corner of the cabin I had an honest to goodness spooky moment. It's great when a tv show can make the hair on the back of your hands stand up.

Thanks for the promo, Promo. I'm hoping to see it over the weekend and can't wait.

There's a great Buffalo band that plays all the music of that era. That 80s Hair Band The lead guitarist, Jason Newbauer, is a phenom.

That just goes to show you how the NFL completely overanalyzes everything. Imagine too smart being a detrement. The next time an announcer says, "What they like about this kid is his football smarts," his partner better chime in with "Yeah, but he's not too smart." Sheesh!

I meant if everything else was equal.

Looking back that sure was one brutal draft. RIP JB

You know what I meant. If you're the GM are you thinking, how will I feel if I cut this exemplary young man and he's killed in combat overseas? You know if that happened this board would be filled with posts about how he'd still be alive if he were on the roster. I know if I was the GM it would give me great pause for concern.

Great column in the Buffalo News this morning about the Army FB and the Armed Forces' new rule allowing pro athletes to resist deployment to the Middle East in return for serving as a recruiter. Just wondering: If it came down to Viti and another FB at the end of training camp could the Bills possibly cut the kid knowing that it was a one-way ticket to Iraq?

You had some great lines this week - the JL/Seacrest anticrist and DA's dad giving him the belt being two shining examples. I completely concur that DA has that Deaf nasal monotone sound going often. My wife thinks I'm off-base - glad that someone else hears it also.

For the benefit of my hometown Niagara Falls 2008 City Draft

Not to pick any bones with SI, but wasn't Poz a 2nd rounder last year?

It did occur to me that a marketing genius like Russ Brandon missed the boat by not continuing the tradition with Berman. It's great PR, that's for sure.

Don't know how much technology has changed, but for what its worth about a decade ago my buddy's mom used to sit at her scanner and listen to the cordless phone calls made by her neighbors. The neighbors were two college-aged girls that had very active sex lives. The mom said listening to their calls was like having a real-life steamy soap opera to tune into each day. I'd get a landline.

I read the first few lines of this report and had an overwhelmng urge to run out and rent a Harvey Fierstein video. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Your in-depth reporting on just what he said is amazing. Thanks, his words of praise will ring in my ears for days. (Sarcasm on)

Thanks. I also needed to click on "satallite."

I must be the only idiot that can't get this to work. When I drag the guy to a street he just pops back to where he started. What am I doing wrong?

It's finally here - Christmas morning for football junkies. With all of the depressing talk of the very real reality of the Bills moving away once Ralph kicks the bucket I'm going to go on record with the following vow: No matter what the Bills do today, I'm going to be okay with their decisions. No bitching, no complaining, no "but my Our Lads says this guy is a reach." If the day comes when the Bills are gone, draft day, which I've enjoyed for decades, will be dead to me. So I raise a glass to you my Bills brothers and sisters and stand with you to salute this team that matters to us in the deepest depths of our souls one more time. Salute!
