Freddie is a me, myself & I cancer extraordinaire. Talent does not match his mouth. Don't even think about signing him.

...my prayers be with your better half & family.

...just read my quote below. It isn't THAT much to ask, is it?

USMC, thank you for your clarification.

...my prayers and best wishes to Joe Ferguson.

...I just hope this trend of falling behind doesn't catch up to the Amerks sooner or later. But they are finding ways to win, nice roll they're on. Need a Game 2 win at home because the next three are in Winnipeg.

...finally, Rasputin was "killed off" last night. Comrade Fedorov lives (barely) for another week before he goes to the gulag.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/05/04/tillman.death/index.html Watergate wasn't the only "cover-up."

...Afleet Alex has trained well leading up to the Derby, seems fit and ready to go. Just hope this jockey Rose gives him a good "run."

...Rasputin lives! Yet another week (at least). Amazing. Comrade Fedorov will be exiled to the gulag tomorrow night. Bo & Carrie were the best by a bunch tonight. Vonzell was OK, nothing spectacular. Rasputin did a decent George Benson tonight and he'll hang in there. As for Anthony, Cowell gave him his lovely parting gift tonight. He's his-tow-ree.

...FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIGGIN LONNIE!!!! aka The Frigster.

...crud and double crud!

...inquiring minds want to know.

...same sport, different gender, new scandal. It's a train wreck back home, what with all that's gone down with the men's hoop program in tatters after its scandal (and more off-court problems this spring re: several transfers). Now, the women's hoop program takes center stage. What a mess. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/apps/p...318/1007/SPORTS

...the Burger King is a dead ringer for the "King of Bling" in Philadelphia, the loquacious Howard Eskin.

Nope...Steve Christie took over the kicking duties in '92.

I'm afraid so. Last night, watching the '91 Bills' highlight show on E-Classic, it was painful watching Norwood. His demeanor and body language during and after that OT win over the Faiders spoke volumes. He had lost his confidence, and was in no mood to celebrate. Weeks later, it turned out that SB 26 was his last game. When Brien missed those two FGs in the Pitt game, his plight and Norwood's from that Faiders game in '91 were almost identical, only the Bills came out on top and the Dog-Ass Jets did not.

...a mere five days after they drafted The Nuge, the Dog-Ass Jets released Brien. It's not a big cap hit ($400k), but it is one all the same. Shows to go ya that, as there is no crying in baseball, there is no sympathy in football. It's a bottom-line, win-or-else business.

...as a diehard Bills fan, I get somewhat skittish whenever I hear the word, "throwback."

...amazing. Private Pyle, the Prince of Darkness, not only is in the top 5 overall, but was ranked in the TOP THREE last night. Savol is the Rasputin/Wayne Fontes of AI...you can't kill him off.

...I've heard of strange ways to meet one's maker, but this one's different. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/foot...ex.html?cnn=yes

Was on the Colt squad in the "Greatest Game Ever Played" ('58 NFL title game vs. Giants), and capped his career in SB III with the Dog-Ass Jets which beat, ironically, the Colts. As I recall, Sample was quite the talker in his heyday but he usually walked the walk to back it up. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/foot...e.ap/index.html

...well, Brien DID leave us with a lovely parting gift--a last-minute FG to beat Our Heroes during the ohfer tale of woe early last season.

...Philly #1 most depressed. That's about right, especially come playoff time when the Iggles tap out. It takes their fans about six months to escape their funk.

B- (CONDITIONAL) BILLS -- Are you willing to count QB J.P. Losman, who cost the Bills this year's No. 1 on a trade with the Cowboys last season, as part of the draft? If you are, then you have to award Buffalo a decent conditional grade, unless he chokes. Then the grade becomes ... well, still conditional, pending next year's performance. Other than that, the draft features a 168-pound punt returner, (your faithful narrator is a 268-pound pint returner) Roscoe Parrish, who can (for God's sake don't say "flat out") ... who can, uh, fly, and TE Kevin Everett, whom they say has loads of raw ability (does anyone ever have cooked ability?)
