That's the problem. You tie up money in an oft-injured, aging quarterback who has fumbled 20 times in the past two years at the expense of draft picks that would -- one would hope -- help patch some of the gaping holes on this team, and you're back at square one: A five- to eight-win team that shoots itself in the foot with desparate personnel moves.
I like McNabb. But Buffalo needs to build from the ground up.
Many people here in Carolina think that's why Richardson cut ties with so many solid, veteran -- albeit expensive -- players, including Peppers, and has acquired only one small-time player.
Hey, now! I actually enjoy "Pawn Stars" and, to a lesser extent, "American Pickers."
But yeah, I wish they would run the "American Presidents" series throughout the year. Awesome stuff.
I sold my Explorer and Les Paul standard. My SG (crescent moon fretboard, mmm) and Telecaster (standard sunburst) are all I'll ever need. I can't tell you which I prefer. I'm sure they'd work for you as well.
Whenever I think of Charlie Whitehurst, I think of the time he embarrassed himself at one of those dumb post-college skills competitions that air at 3 a.m. on ESPN 2. I remember thinking: "Wow, that guy's never going to make it."
But hey, he's in the NFL.
