C'Hawks are out. Does Bill Polian count for the Colts?

F him and his mother.

Maybe we'll find out next season. The Gints are done.

That wasn't the question, but thanks for playing.

In Berman's defense, he wasn't on the set when Jackson gave the bad info. Jackson was on the mini-football field. I actually got the impression that all the guys realized almost instantly that Jackson had just said something that hadn't been researched, like he just assumed it, said it and then realized it just might not be true. I'm willing to bet the show's stat guys figured it out instantly but didn't want to embarrass Jackson or bring up something like that while their special guest, Taylor, was right there.

I am pretty sure Aaron has sacked Marsha Brady more than anyone else. Am I right? Well, Tom Jackson said today, as he introduced Jason Taylor in studio, that Taylor holds that honor. He later said Taylor has sacked Brady 8 or 8.5 times (I don't remember which). I was just wondering if any one else saw/heard that, and whether I am correct in that Schobel's accomplishment was overlooked? Of course, Chris Berman saved the day for the show, naming Frank Reich the greatest QB ever for the Wildcard Round (for his performance in The Comeback). He then named Moulds one of the greatest skill position players for the Wildcard Round (for his performance against the stinkin' fish back when Flutie was under center).

Uh, who is Saban replacing in Alabama?

He'd get traded before cut. I think he'd fetch a third at worst. But I certainly wouldn't want my team trading for him

Ah yes, I caluculated that as if the bye week came at the season's exact middle.

That is 12.5 points per game the first eight and 25 the last eight. Wow.

"A source said Saban failed to show this morning for a scheduling meeting at team headquarters in Davie with Dolphins owner H. Wayne Huizenga. Saban told Huizenga of his intentions via telephone and then informed all of his coaches by speakerphone that he was leaving to accept the Alabama position, the source said." Doesn't even have the balls to tell the owner to his face.

Saban should be meeting with the stinkin' fish just about now.

I must say it is surprising to see my hometown dominate the blotter.

Exaclty. Maybe Marv learned his lesson.

I do believe Lee is signed through 2009, meaning he doens't need to be extended this offseason or next.

First off, I really don't think you have anything to worry about. They will each be long gone by the time the charing Buffalo pops onto the screen. But...it would be great if Quinn or Brohm were still there as Marv could very likely get great value in trading down at that point.

And this year, after Williams got a big contract extension, the Deadskins are picking ahead of us in the draft. The idea of the bit about Greggo was that he is taking his team in the wrong direction. Going from playoffs to the bottom 10 in the league is very bad.

From today's Daily Bills Buzz e-mail: FACT OF THE DAY: January 2, 1966 -- Lou Saban, AFL Coach of the Year in 1964 and '65, resigned to accept the head coaching job at the University of Maryland. Is that why he wanted to wait a day, so he wouldn't have the same quitting date as Lou?

Has anyone ever before claimed to want to play for the Browns?

I hope he goes

ESPN radio said the D-MVP will be announced Friday.

The answer is probably no, and I agree that anything that pours salt in wounds of the stinkin fish is good with me.

What are the stinkin' fish fans thinking? Not that they know what's best for their own team, but I am curious. I know we have a couple who frequent the Wall. Where you at?

I know. And Champ Bailey chimed in over the last day or so, saying he also thinks Merrismen should not get is because of the suspension earlier this season. I tend to agree with Taylor and Bailey, but there is no doubt in my mind that Merrimen was the best defender this year.

I heard on the radio that Merriman sent Taylor a bag of popcorn so he could enjoy himself in front of the TV watching the Chargers in the playoffs.
