Interesting factoid from Chris Brown: "As a whole, Buffalo’s nine-player draft class missed six total games due to injury in their collegiate careers. All of those missed games were by third-round pick T.J. Graham, whose sophomore season was interrupted by a stress fracture in his leg." Pretty impressive durability...

Buddy & Wanny's response to Seau's Passing “I am deeply saddened to hear the news of the passing of Junior Seau. This is such a tragedy and his passing will be felt by many. Junior was a great player in this league for so many years and he embodied that competitive spirit that all the great linebackers possess. My deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences go out to his children and his entire family, his friends, the Spanos family and the Chargers organization.” Bills defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt was Seau’s head coach from 2003-2004 when the linebacker played for the Miami Dolphins. “Hearing this news about Junior...it’s just so tragic…it’s hard to believe. I still to this day remember the day that Junior joined our family at the Dolphins. He brought a sense of renewed energy and a spirit to the field, off the field, in the weight room, just everywhere that Junior went and everyone that Junior was associated with. He instilled a belief that we hadn’t reached our potential and that we could be better and he would find a way to help make that happen. I just feel terrible but I know how much he loved his kids. I remember him coming to me and the first thing we talked about was what the offseason schedule would be and what was going to be our bye week schedule. Everything he was doing was centered around getting back to San Diego from Miami to be able to spend quality time with his kids. I don’t think there’s a better way a man could be remembered than in those terms.”

If they want a high profile up-and-coming AD (like Warde), I wouldn't bet against it...

Actually, this one's in Illinois. About an hour from Peoria. And you know what they say--"If you can make it in Peoria..."

With a new AD coming in next year, that problem will be rectified...

He said he fell asleep but it looks like it may have been a precursor...

Hey, it worked OK for the guy in he fieldhouse today, didn't it....

Done already? That was quick...

Do a little research (Google's you friend) Steve Smith, Antonio Brown, Percy Harvin, DeSean Jackson... Thanks for sharing--and for joining an illustrious group of ignored users...

It would have been a better story if Auerbach had made the pick on his own... (yeah, count me in the anti-Knight contingent )

Nice story, but in every game video I've seen of this kid, he's thowing rainbows instead of bullets--even on short outs. He's accurate for sure, but I don't see the ability to throw on a rope...

True, but I wonder what Kordell's Wonderlic was...

Yeah, he was set to try out for the Steelers so it's interesting that he supposedly showing up in Orchard Park instead... Worth a tryout according to Narwocki

I did't see him posting here...

Interesting read: “When I land somewhere, sure I’d like to (start). Everybody feels that way. But all I can do is come in and compete. It is like I am getting drafted all over again, you go in and compete and let the coaches and front office people make the decision.” Maybe he is maturing a bit...

Rosenthal's on board with it. The smattering of national reactions I've seen are generally positive, which reflects well on the growing buzz about Chan and the Bills in general... It's Always Sunny In Phiadelphia: "Overall, I guess the biggest surprise for me with Young wasn't that he threw eight interceptions in three starts or had trouble picking up the offense - the lockout and the lack of offseason work made a decent excuse for at least part of that. I just never saw, from a guy who always looked a little flabby in the locker room, the athlete and leader who willed Texas to win that Rose Bowl. Under pressure, Young looked kind of lumbering and heavy-footed. And his decision-making was just horrendous. That last part was the killer. That's what NFL quarterbacks are, decision-makers. If you can't master that part, you can't play, regardless of size, arm strength, whatever." Do we really want a guy who thinks like this: “Everybody keeps putting it in the wrong sequence. I didn’t say ‘Dream Team’ like ‘Dream Team.’ It’s like you are dreaming, like me and you dream about eating a nice burger or something, put it in those terms and just more so the respect that I have for the players from (Dominique Rodgers) Cromartie, from Nnamdi (Asomugha), to Mike Vick and the players that we had around,” he said. “I was just feeling very respectful towards those guys and that’s what I meant by that situation.”

I vote for spelling bee...

Time's a B word. Thanks for the pic showing how Janet's aged (un)gracefully...

Like cornerbacks, most fans have short memories...

Yeah, in a Bills-obsessed market like Buffalo, the pot would certainly be stirred by the media whores (although now that WGR is the 'Home of the Bills' you'd think they may not want to piss off the hand that feeds them)....

And the flies buzz around the outhouse...
