Funny, I got just the opposite impression. Moorman clearly appeared to be uncomfortable with Neufeld's snaps a few times and rushed his kicks which resulted in some poor coverage/long runbacks. If I was MM, I'd cut Travis Brown and make Matthews the #2 QB in order to keep the Moorman/Dorenbos combo--which was one of the best in the NFL last year--intact.

Agree. Matthews has started 20+ NFL games and had pretty good stats to boot. It's always tough to cut a guy because of an injury, but Brown looked mediocre at best this camp. If he had to come in for DB, the game would essentially be lost anyway. I think Matthews can probably run a scaled-down offense better than Brown can run the full playbook, if it comes down to that. The most graceful way out would be to put Brown on IR and give him a year's salary. But in the cold, heartless world of the salary cap, this probably couldn't be justified. If Matthews looks at all effective on Thursday, I think Brown might be a casualty.

Gee, my take was that they're just trying to see who else can snap effectively. From the looks of things, however, Dorenbos is still the best snapper in camp.

Amen, brother.

What do you make of the new Orion cluster computers powered by Transmeta Efficeons that were announced the other day: http://biz.yahoo.com/rc/040830/tech_superc...rs_orion_1.html Sounds like INTC is playing catch-up on the heat / leakage front.

These are memory chips, not CPUs. This is not that big an announcment as other SRAM manufacturers lile Micron and Samsung are already working on smaller geometries. Sounds like Intel is getting desperate to keep up its public image after so many missteps.

Rudy, I don't know why I keep responding to your "chicken little" posts, but I just can't help myself. If your outlook on life is anything like your thoughts on the Bills, I feel extremely sorry for you. Life's too short to always be worrying like you do. BTW, here's what ESPN had to say about Milloy's injury...doesn't sound like 8 weeks to me: "In related injury news, it is not known yet whether safety Lawyer Milloy, who suffered a broken forearm Saturday, will be ready to start the regular season. Milloy underwent surgery Sunday and seemed confident he could play in the Sept. 12 opener with a soft cast. If he cannot play, third-year veteran Coy Wire is the most likely replacement.

I agree, but to be honest, de Lima's post-race comments were the most positive / refreshing thing I've seen over the past two weeks. Why do I think this guy is going to be more famous/celebrated than Paul Hamm ever could hope to be. "I'm not going to cry forever about the incident, although it broke my concentration," de Lima said, "but I managed to finish and the bronze medal in such a difficult marathon is also a great achievement." The International Olympic Committee said it would present de Lima with its Pierre de Coubertin medal in recognition of his "exceptional demonstration of fair play and Olympic values." "I think the Olympic spirit prevailed and I prevailed. I was able to show that determination wins races," de Lima said after receiving his bronze medal at the Olympics' closing ceremony. "What prevailed here was the Olympic spirit. Never mind the result of the appeal. I'm very happy to have won this medal."

I'm convinced that the Buffalo News has an agenda with the Bills. The letters tend to run more negative than positive...PTR 10953[/snapback] I think you're missing the point of the "letters" section, whether it's in the sports or editorial section. The News' objective, as with all advertising, PR or sales literature (now there's an oxymoron), is to present a point of view that breaks through the "white noise" and gets you to have an emotional reaction. The more negative / outrageous the better. For example, who gets more ink, airtime or $$$$$$-- Paul Harvey or Rush Limbaugh? It's all about relieving you of your hard-earned 50 cents ($2.00 on Sunday). Don’t take it personally, it’s just entertainment…the same way Jim Rome, Howard Stern, or for you real golden oldies, Howard “telling it like it is” Cosell, gained fame and fortune. Just remember, what Sullivan (either Margaret or Jerry) have to say is immaterial...it's only designed to get a rise out of you...sort of like Rudy on TSW. Today’s news is tomorrow’s bird-cage liner.

He has to adjust to having an O-line that's not as good as what he played behind in college. He'll get better as he get's more playing time.

Glad to see you working hard on that post count. Keep up the good work.
