Athletic is now officially mocking him as the Bills pick at 22. 22. Buffalo Bills: Kyle Dugger, DB, Lenoir Rhyne With the top wide receivers, edge rushers and offensive tackles all off the board, the Bills become the first team to take a Division II player in the first round since 1999. Lenoir Rhyne’s Kyle Dugger is listed as a safety but that label doesn’t do him justice. He’s a moveable piece on defense capable of playing nickel cornerback and outside linebacker in the right scheme. Dugger could be for the Bills what Shaq Thompson was for the Panthers in Sean McDermott’s defense. The Bills were at Lenoir Rhyne this season more often than every team in the league, sending three different high-ranking members of their scouting staff to see Dugger. He’s everything they look for on and off the field. And if 22 seems too high for Dugger, wait until he blows up at the NFL Scouting Combine. He’s the real deal. What the Bills would be getting with Dugger: Joel Taylor knows a thing about under-the-radar draft prospects. He was on the staff at South Carolina State when the Bulldogs had future NFL standouts Darius Leonard and Javon Hargrave, and he was at Division II Lenoir-Rhyne when the Bears’ big DB Kyle Dugger blew up in scouts’ eyes in the past two years. Taylor said he’s never been around a guy who has Dugger’s combination of size, ability and football instincts. He says the 6-1, 220-pounder’s best attribute is his versatility and that he’s the rare athlete who can play nine spots on the defense, all except the interior defensive line positions. “Whoever becomes his DC is going to have a lot of fun with him,” says Taylor, now the defensive coordinator at Mercer. “A guy like Dugger gives you the ability to be very creative with schemes and be multiple without changing packages.” Tucker says Dugger isn’t quite as long — or as outspoken — as Leonard, the 2018 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, but he’s a better-skilled athlete in open space and more explosive. High praise indeed. —Bruce Feldman, National college football insider

So much for the Risto for Trocheck rumors. The Florida Panthers have dealt Vincent Trocheck to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Henry Thomas?

RIP, thank you for capturing our team and bringing us close to the action.

Come on. There's only one answer to best Van Halen singer - Gary Cherone.

Robert Blake?

I haven’t seen his name addressed here but in a column at The Athletic, Matthew Fairburn suggests there his evidence that the Division II S might be the Bills’ guy. Here’s an excerpt: “In my story on Lenoir Rhyne defensive back Kyle Dugger, I noted the Bills had shown strong interest in the Division II standout. They sent three high-ranking members of their scouting staff to Hickory, N.C. to see Dugger in person and by all accounts were there as often as any team in the league. That carries more weight when you consider Lenoir Rhyne isn’t a typical stop on the scouting trail for those making the rounds.” “Does that mean the Bills will take Dugger at No. 22? Maybe. There are too many variables to ever pin down a team’s draft plans. Who else will be on the board? Will another team offer a strong enough package to convince the Bills to trade down? Will Dugger be worth that pick?” He is said to be the prototypical Big Nickel DB that McDermott covets. He’s over 6 feet and is expected to run in the sub 4.4 range in the 40. Would this board lose it’s collective mind if the Bills went safety in Rd 1?

Anyone else remember the crooked house where pool balls defied gravity and water ran upstream?

Winner, winner chicken dinner. (I think that’s a pretty clear way to signal a right answer, which is why I always use it. Maybe it should be adopted as a thread requirement.) Yes, before he was beloved Captain Kangaroo, Bob Keeshan was indeed Clarabell the Clown on the old Howdy Doody Show.

Right church, wrong pew.

Swing and a miss.

Who is the man behind the paint?

Cocaine is a helluva drug. ?

Joey Heatherton?

No, wrong amusement park ride.

Nice guess, but No. Here's another clue - he took a role based on a amusement ride and made the character iconic.

Not Jason Mamoa. Here’s another hint - he’s also a pretty fair guitarist.

No and no. He’s a huge movie star and on many wives’ “free pass” list.

Winner, winner chicken dinner. Can you name this star?
