It would be a pretty good trio of accomplishments to end the Fins' season, the Jets' season, and Brett Favre's streak all in the space of about a month. Not to mention some of the best schadenfreude ever.

Vernon Turner, September 1991. Beautiful. I was around the 330 as well! And yes, we thought he was dead too. Seriously. Bruce usually gets the credit, but it was a gangtackle as others have said, and it was really much more of a freak head-hitting-turf accident than anything else. I was at that game too. Also, all the hits we laid on Mark Ingram in SB XXV.

Truth hurts. How Marvin Lewis has lasted this long in Cincinnati is beyond me.

The list of players from the last decade that I don't want back is a lot longer than the list of players I do want back.

I was perfectly willing to sing Favre's praises and laud his career...three or four years ago. Since then, he's become a joke. If it was us who put the league out of its misery and sent him packing, I'm just fine with that.

The other way McKelvin resembles Harmon is his unwillingness to accept responsibility. Remember that Harmon blamed Jimbo for his drop in Cleveland, saying that he would have caught it "if Jim had thrown it sooner." And McKelvin actually told the media that he thought he played well yesterday. WTF. Even if that's true in some ways, there's no escaping that his sequence of three plays -- beaten by Rice, fumbled kickoff, PI in the end zone -- absolutely turned the worm.

Three or four horrible calls in one half. Tough to play ten-on-thirteen (with McKelvin on their side along with the ref)

Fortunately Favre has to make it all about him, so we still have a chance to turn this

As bad as mckelvin is playing, some of the calls so far have been garbage.

See ya Leo.

Or maybe they just thought that the Bills thought Rucker was the better of the two and that they wouldn't take Chandler. If the Cowboys really thought Rucker was better than Chandler, why wasn't Rucker on the active roster in the first place?

Maybe Rogers is turning its attention to the Loafs and Raptors because it finally realizes that without a new stadium (which they are unlikely to get) they don't have a chance in hell of bringing an NFL team to Toronto full time. One can only hope.

And it was more than two.

Not sure, but that was definitely the game where Lonnie Johnson got blown up after catching a fourth-down fake punt pass and forgetting that the return man was still in front of him. Still the single funniest play you'll ever see in football, and the perfect encapsulation of Lonnie's career. He looked like Charlie Brown after a liner through the box. I was there and remember the score being 44-10. I also remember Andre catching 15 balls for his career high...and then going home and watching Jerry Rice, as if responding to a challenge, catch 16 that night.

But what about the Buffalo school system?

No, the rule is simply that you can't own a franchise in ANOTHER city that has an NFL team. You can own as many franchises in your OWN city as you want. Easy example: Ralph could never have bought the Red Wings, Tigers or Pistons because Detroit has the Lions. But he could have bought the Sabres any time he wanted. You think of that all by yourself?

He's got two kids. Great, Mike. How about the guy Harrison eventually ends up paralyzing or crippling for life? How many kids does that guy have?

Which he could then use to buy the Bills.

This was probably news to Wayne Huizenga when he owned the Dolphins, Panthers and Marlins. The NFL rule is you can't own an NHL (or NBA or MLB) team in another city that also has an NFL team. Hence, Paul Allen can own the Seahawks in Seattle and the Blazers in Portland (which has no NFL team). But Jeremy Jacobs could not own the Bills and the Bruins, since Boston (sort of) has an NFL team. The NFL doesn't want its owners competing for revenue with each other. I think the bigger issue for Golisano is that he probably can't afford to own both teams, or more precisely, he doesn't want to.

This. It was the first thought I had when I heard about the possible Sabres' sale yesterday. Why no one on WGR has made the same connection is a mystery to me. Wait, no it isn't.

I love having 16 1 pm starts. Means I don't have to go anywhere or do anything for 16 out of 17 Sunday afternoons. Throw a few night games and 4 pm starts in there and I lose my built-in excuse.

I would take Wade back as a DC in a heartbeat. I remember one time when he was here he installed a 4-3 for one game, I forget who it was against, and it worked brilliantly. It might have been out of necessity (injuries) but it spoke to his ability to adjust and teach. He's not my kind of head coach, but he's a brilliant defensive mind.

If a player holds on every play, but is only called for it four times, is it okay because that's more than any other player got called all season? Williams was unblockable yesterday and the Steelers should have had to change their scheme or personnel instead of hoping Kemoeatu would continue to get away with holding on most plays. As for the Polamalu "pick," I thought it was interesting that CBS only gave us that one quick look from the overhead camera. If it had been Byrd or Whitner picking off Roethlisberger, CBS probably would have showed us four angles before cutting to an extended commercial so Tomlin could challenge.

This. Want to reduce head injuries in the NFL? Make them play without helmets, or with those old-time leather jobs. The reason players were taught in the old days to lead their shoulder is because it hurt THEM to lead with their heads as much as it hurt their opponents.

You would think that, except the organization is the sainted Pittsburgh Steelers, who rival Brett Favre in getting passes from the league office.
