Tortured Soul

It doesn't look like the SD pass rushers are even trying. They seem perfectly content to get blocked out of the play.

It's for his hometown of Waycross, GA. Hence, the cross with his arms.

It's worth pointing out that it's not "Americans" assuming Canadians would latch onto anything the NFL throws their way. It's Toronto born and educated Ted Rogers, the wealthiest Canadian and an accomplished businessman. He signed the contract bringing the NFL to Canada, and no one was holding a gun to his head at the time.

I would take Turner Gill.

Lori, any guesses on what happened on the 3rd and 1 timeout? They seemed to come back out in the same alignment.

Hey Promo, What's your interest in the program? Are you a fan? A grad? Something more involved?

Why is it so hard to imagine that Ralph is difficult to work with and is holding back the success of the franchise?

I remember that SF 95 game vividly. That was an all-time Bills disaster.

Go Bills.

I can't understand this, given Trent threw his best pass of the night to Royal the play before. He seemed to have rhythm on that play.

Wanna bet?

They did that a lot against the Raiders. They tend to do it against young quarterbacks.

It's the second most e-mailed story of the day. It's not explicitly positive of the steps Buffalo has taken so far, but it says the potential is there.

Anyone here planning on going to Kelly's in the East Village tonight? Anyone usually go there?

And let me add to that Bill Belichik. Billsvet, I didn't mention coach anywhere either. BB is the Patriots' GM.

Oh, I don't doubt he was a good personnel guy. But you're complaining about a lack of a real GM with personnel experience. And BB meets that standard.

Bill Belichik didn't have a personnel background or a real GM when he took over the Patriots.

Goodell's thinking behind the "C" was that certain players should be designated as captains to take responsibility for the team's behavior in light of the numerous player arrests. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Patriots haven't really had a problem with players getting arrested or otherwise getting into trouble. And since they're such a veteran-heavy team, the might just have thought it was unnecessary to single out a few players as leaders.

He has long been my favorite Bill. Any idea who he is?

Wouldn't you like to know what play Trent audibled out of on 3rd down?

I'm not seeing this. When Tom Brady replaced Drew Bledsoe, Bill Belichik suddenly became a winner? Because before that, he was pretty much a loser. What about when Jeremy Shockey broke his leg? Did Coughlin become a winner? I guess Kevin Gilbride became a winner, too. Shannahan was a winner with Elway and Davis. Is he still a winner a decade later? What about Holmgren?

And Schobel, Butler, Whitner and Reed should be back after this stretch. Hopefully, we'll be full strength the second time through the division.

Based on this season, I'd put Walker there. And give some credit to Kyle.

Schobel was averaging 10 sacks a year when they signed him to the extension, including 14 the season before. Even if he's been disappointing since, the contract made sense at the time. Kelsay, on the other hand, I can't defend.
