I have no idea, but I will say that if I never hear the phrase "struggled mightily" ever again, it will be too soon.

Couldn't agree more.

Awesome thread!

He's a great story and hopefully he'll be around for a long time.

I was just about to post the same thing. Who is this new crayonz and what happened to the old one?

Cool, thanks for the tidbit.

If someone could make the AFC championship game with Sanchez, then anything is possible.

Just come on down and scout Utah and BYU. We got lots of em here.

AWESOME.

As I posted in the OT thread, I was there a few years ago working at a clinic in Cyvadier, a tiny village near Jacmel. We went to Jacmel a couple of times and it was a sweet little town. There is a group at the clinic now, and they say Jacmel was hit pretty hard. One of the hotels there has collapsed, and the hospital was badly damaged. So sad. The country is basically in almost complete ruin. It's almost unfathomable. How they will ever be able to pick themselves up and rebuild is almost beyond comprehension.

It's been a few years since I was there, but I can't even imagine what the place must be like now. Most buildings there are made of unreinforced concrete, and as you can tell from some of the initial pictures, they are just crumbling to the ground. What little infrastructure they had is now almost certainly in ruins. It's almost incomprehensible. The clinic I visited previously is in Cyvadier, a tiny village near Jacmel. Cyvadier is about 15 miles directly south of the epicenter. I thought for sure the clinic would be leveled, but apparently not. The group I went with, Friends of the Children of Haiti (FOTCOH.org), has about three or four trips per year, and one was scheduled to arrive this coming Monday. They're still planning on it, but I'm not sure how since the air traffic control tower at the airport in Port-au-Prince has collapsed. What was scary for us is that one of our family decided to go a week early, and had just arrived at the clinic as the earthquake hit. Apparently, the clinic is damaged, but not too badly. They have water and power thanks to a new generator, and it sounds like everybody there is okay. Jacmel, however, according to the team, did not fare as well. I remember it as a pretty little town on the coast, but it sounds like it was hit hard, which means most of the buildings are probably destroyed. They say the hospital there was heavily damaged. Hardly anybody can afford care there, though, and when I was there the hospital seemed completely empty, so perhaps not many people were trapped inside. It's just impossible to imagine how the country can possibly pick itself up and rebuild.

I have the original NBC recording of that somewhere, but I don't remember if it has the anthem. I'm pretty sure it has at least a snippet from it, though.

I recommend you watch this movie. You never know, maybe it'll work out better for you than that guy.

Both of Fitzgerald's TD catches should have been offensive pass interference. He ran over Woodson both times.

I think it's reasonable to say that these boards, like most, didn't even exist in the early 90s. Unless someone knows of an old dialup Bills BBS?

Ah yes...you can say that again. Welcome back, Moose...

There, fixed that for ya.

Wow, that's an incredibly vague statement. Once again, nobody really knows anything at this point, and everybody is just guessing or throwing out possibilities.

From the way he was walking back to near the locker room, it does not appear that his collar bone is broken. When that sucker is broken, you really need to immobilize the arm. It might just be slightly cracked, but it's still painful to move the arm at all. If anything is broken, I would guess it's either part of his rotator cuff region or maybe his shoulder blade, but even those are painful with any arm motion.

Great news. Always good to start the year off on the right foot. I don't know the area, but I've been there a couple of times to visit friends. Seems like a nice place, pretty close to some cool areas. I visited Philly once two seasons ago and got to watch the Bills game at a downtown Philly bar with about 40 other Bills fans. It was awesome. It was also Trent Edwards' swan song victory over San Diego. Damn, things seemed so good then.

Ugh.

Great post, thanks Rich. I agree that Fitzpatrick had a really nice game, which is even more impressive given the conditions. I actually think this guy has what it takes to be a solid QB, just not a game-changing QB. I think we really need to keep this guy around as a backup, but with Brohm on the roster (and not likely to be the starter), I'm not sure who is #2 and who is #3. For that matter, I'm not sure who #1 will be either. As for Jackson...anyone ever remember a 200-yard rushing day without any real breakaway runs? To me, that's what makes his accomplishment that much more amazing.

Tom Dempsey.

Probably because most people say "Hook and Ladderal", so they just shorten it to "Hook and Ladder".
