The Senator

Let me help you... Dakota Fanning is a 14 year-old movie actress. She's home-schooled, and collects dolls. Dakota Fanning Bio Let me help you some more... Dakota Fanning is also, in 'Trenters' own words, Trent Edwards' favourite movie actress. (bizarre as it seems, that's what 'Trenters' said... link ) Well, I, for one, am more than a bit surprised that 'Trenters' despises 'football questions' or denies seeing the play of the week on SportsCenter or elsewhere - unless he actually doesn't watch football because he's too busy watching Entertainment Tonight for the latest Dakota Fanning news. But, I think I get your point... JP hatred = sanguine Edwards hatred = idiotic

actually, i never heard of 'sparkle' 'til i read your post - and still don't know what it is. can you give me a brief précis?

fact is, fear of losing one's job is a great motivator - and jauron should have been fired long ago, anyway. at some point, you have to draw a line in the sand. i say today, if we lose our 8th consecutive divisional game - against Miami, that jauron has crossed that line.

From Sullivan's column this morning... MIAMI — Trent Edwards seemed surprised, almost flustered, when the media asked him questions about other NFL quarterbacks Wednesday. Hard as it is to imagine, he hadn't even seen a replay of Brett Favre's amazing last-second throw to Greg Lewis to beat the Niners. "You guys are asking me these football-related questions," Edwards said. "I didn't see that game, either. I didn't even see highlights. I didn't watch any of it. I'm sorry." link Now I'm by no means a Sullivan fan but, if not football, WTF are they supposed to be asking Edwards about???? Ask him how talks are going to have Dakota Fanning cast in the Twilight sequel - New Moon - and I'll bet Captain Checkdown has all the poop... Is Dakota Fanning cast in 'Twilight' sequel 'New Moon'? This crap has gone on long enough - especially after Tim Graham's insightful analysis of Trentative's long game, or lack thereof. I'm ready for some Fitzpatrick.

It's "The Curse of Pete Gogolak" - it all goes back to 1965, and Ralph letting placekicker Pete Gogolak get away after the Bills' '65 AFL Championship season. Gogolak went on to become the NY Giants leading all-time scorer, a record he holds to this day, while the Bills went on to lose coach Lou Saban and haven't won a league championship since... REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!

Because he sucks at his job, but wishes to remain employed?

Prediction: this Sunday against Miami, the Bills longest pass will be thrown by Marshawn Lynch.

Had almost the same identical mishap, 'cept I was doing my sets with 450.

"Hey look - there's Gregory Peck's bicycle...and Barbara Mandrell's skateboard!"

Obviously we have a difference of opinion - I think he's lousy at what he does, and is likely just as miserable in real life as he seems in his column - probably cheats at golf too, and kicks his dog when he gets home.

Sullivan = POS If you read the mindless drivel of the sniveling punk Jerry Sullivan, he's been predicting a T.O meltdown since the signing. Now that we're 3 games in and he hasn't gotten the predicted meltdown, he's looking petty and small, so he first tries using his column to criticize T.O. for not speaking his mind. That didn't draw the desired response from T.O. either, so now Sullivan's just blatantly begging for a T.O. outburst - even openly baiting him in post-game interviews - which will no doubt result in the inevitable "See - I told you so!" column from the whiney, sniveling, know-nothing punk Sullivan. Doe's Sullivan have a vendetta for T.O.? Probably not any more than he did for Losman. Sullivan just has little else to write about, since he know so little about football to begin with, so he latches onto what he thinks will be a story, and writes the most cynical and negative columns his small mind will allow. Then, when the proverbial 'blind squirrel finds an acorn', he thumps his chest and screams, "Told ya!" Sullivan.

Have you been watching this team? Put three guys in the backfield, and I guarantee they'll be running into each other.

Yes, but it's just that - a chance to have the ball at the end of the half, certainly not a guarantee. And, in Jauron's case, does it really matter if he's got possession for the last drive of the half? Even if there's a chance to score, he's gonna kneel on the football - or worse, punt it away ('cause it's hard to score in the NFL). Better to do like New Orleans did with the opening kickoff - march down the field and score.

Nuthin' for nuthin' HM, but... 1) Ralph doesn't have a private jet that flies him wherever he wants to go? 2) No telephone hookups or WebEx out there in the nation's 11th largest city?

Winners always want the ball but, apparently Dick Jauron never wants it. He'll even punt it away when down by 10 with time running out -the freakin' loser just doesn't want the damned ball. Maybe it's 'cause he doesn't have a clue what to do with it when he has it - march downfield and score! Hey Dick - why not heed the advice of...

You sure? I thought they needed the passenger's name to write on those big white signs all the limo drivers waive at the passengers as they come off the plane

most folks who use a 'car service' refer to any car as a 'limo' - even if it's just a town car, or a ford sedan

You know, as far as stand-up comics go, you could do worse than...

What's all this Brees nonsense - all I been feelin' is a lot of hot air. Statistically, I give the Bills a huge edge and expect Trent Edwards will swap places with Drew Brees in the QB rankings after this week - let's send 'em back home with paper bags on their heads... link - the original 'aints paper bag mask BuffTown Bills - 37 N'Awlins 'aints - 0 18 and 1 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!!

Having grown up during the Dolphin's 21-game win streak, I'll always hate Miami - it was so great to see Brian Cox go apoplectic when we started beating them regularly. And how can any Bills fan not despise Dallas, who twice spoiled our Superbowl dreams? (Especially despicable is that piece of human refuse, that waste of skin and oxygen, Jimmy Johnson, who coached both the Dolphins and the Cowboys - I'll never forget that a-hole stomping on a box of Flutie Flakes when Doug was using them as a vehicle to raise money and awareness for autism and his autistic son.) But for me, over the last decade, the cheatriettes* represent everything vile and contemptible in pro sports. I have a feeling that's about to change - the New Jersey Jets will be the Bills biggest nemesis over the next decade. So I hate all all four, but right now in the following order... 1) cheatriettes* 2) Dolphins 3) Cowboys 4) Jets GO CRUSADERS (And BTW, it's 'Delaware Daisies' - you Kenmore Kandy-Asses can't even get that right )

Probably because Seth Meyers sucks as head writer, as Weekend Update anchor, and as a comic. SNL's gone thru so many cast changes and 'dark periods' and has usually rebounded, but the current cast seems particularly devoid of comic talent. Time to pull the plug for good on SNL, I think.

About time that show ended anyway - like a typical SNL skit, it's not funny and has gone on way too long.

Excellent point. The key question today is, how many sacks will established-veteran and proven-commodity Jason "60 Million Dollar Man" Peters give up against experienced front-office exec & proven-commodity Scott Pioli's 0-2 KC Chiefs?
