Maybe true for Scout.com, Rivals.com, etc., but the Pro Football Weekly Bills beat writer is Chuck Pollock. No amateur there.

Slight correction -- Jerman didn't start that game, he came in when Williams was injured. Welcome aboard, though.

Anyone seen JSP since yesterday? Hello? Anyone? Oh no, I think the Josh Reed news finally made his head explode...

Well, at 246 lbs., he's about 50 pounds lighter than the typical NFL center. But hey, why not?

Nicely done.

Maybe so, but there's still a guy in a Stillers shirt involved...

Regarding weck: when the Buffalo Wild Wings chain started, it was actually BW3 ("Wild Wings and Weck"). My dad went to the one in Muncie, IN to check it out; their version appeared to be Steak-umms on a salted hamburger roll (no caraway seeds). And when he asked for horseradish, the waitress stared at him for a few seconds and then asked, "You're not from around here, are you?" I believe they dropped the weck attempt shortly thereafter...

Unless you're British and at least 43 years old, I guarantee you haven't -- some of the early Hartnell and Troughton episodes were lost/destroyed. I have yet to boot up the DVR to review last night's episodes, but they can't possibly be any worse than the 1996 movie. Whether or not they live up to the best of the Pertwee/T. Baker era (still my favorites)? I'll let you know...

Valid point. It's funny how most of the talk in this thread automatically migrated to the cities involved (with you and OnTheRocks about the only exceptions), when true Appalachia -- with poverty levels comparable to the worst inner-city area you can think of -- is well to the south of the Thruway. Think I'm kidding? Hell, I LIVE in Appalachia: And Dems, if you're wondering why we tend to vote Republican up in this neck of the woods? Keep thinking only about the cities, and you'll continue to find out.

If that's the case, I expect the Bills medical staff to inform management of same. But if the knee injury has been resolved, he's worth looking at for a couple of seasons. JMO.

Yup. One to Clements, and one to the Jags IN OVERTIME...

Seven out of ten starting O-linemen in last month's Pro Bowl are in their thirties, including two quite a bit older than Fabini. But don't let that stop you...

Touchdown Tommy threw one directly to Nate Clements for six. Drew Bledsoe's handoff to James Harrison and the debut of Fast Willie Parker are what kept us out of the playoffs.

Actually, he turns 32 this August. Other than that, agreed.

Ah man, Guff. I remember talking to him when you brought him back up for the Chiefs game... That bites. Hard. Thoughts to his family, and to you and yours.

What? Ooh, shiny.... (You might be right, but I'll give it a few more hours at the top to see what happens, anyhow. Don't imagine SDS would have a problem with that.)

We can only hope.

Hey, gotta kill time during the offseason somehow... Actually, I'm pretty sure Barber plans to go into broadcasting fulltime when the football gig is up. Might as well get a head start.

Don't trust ESPN. http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/12356 And to answer a previous caller, Fabini stayed on the field despite a knee injury last season, albeit switching from LT to RT so he wouldn't have to deal with the premium speed rushers. Then he tore a pec and went on IR -- the first time in six years he didn't play a full 16-game schedule.

http://www.coldstonecreamery.com/locator/neareststone.asp Heh. Nearest store to me is in State College, of all places. Yeah -- home of the Penn State Creamery. (Mmmm... Peachy Paterno...) Factoid: Ben and Jerry got their start in the ice cream biz by taking a correspondence course from PSU.

You did? Be right back...

Frightening. I'd put up a personal pic in my profile, but I've grown quite attached to the one I have there at the moment...

Think I also remember reading the original reason baseball/basketball/hockey teams all wore grey or colored jerseys on the road was that they hid dirt better, saving equipment managers a lot of extra work in out-of-town laundromats...
