Miami in on the clock.

Nah. He was signed by the Chiefs, or so I heard.

The Bills are in a fairly decent spot right now. They can stay @ 11 and most likely get a good corner, linebacker, or lineman. Or, they can try to move up to get an impact player like Ellis or Dorsey if they're still there. Or, they could move down if their target is a wideout and still get more picks. I can see arguments being made for any of those moves, actually. This team isn't one player away from a title, but another piece to the puzzle, especially one that could have major impact, certainly cannot hurt. For that reason, I could see moving up. The Bills are lacking @ defensive back and linebacker and could use more help on either the offensive (interior or outside....I'm still not 100% sold on Walker as a RT) or defensive (still need a pass rush) lines. W/ that being the case, I could see standing pat and drafting in those areas. Of course, everyone 'round here has gone WR crazy, and w/ good reason, as the Bills' red zone production has been atrocious and a big wideout w/ good hands and the ability to fight off tight coverage will help big time. So, if they can address this properly while adding picks that could add size to the LB and DB units, that would be a sound move also.

We're a DT away from a championship?

They should get this guy to take over. Seems to be the only one people won't whine 'bout.

Cohesion from the top down (ownership/management/coaching) is actually the foundation for a top quality team that can compete for/win a championship. I cannot think of any championship team in recent memory where that relationship was unstable.

I'll bet there's nothing we could say that would tear you away from him, huh?

Miles is my uncle's favorite musician of all time. He owns many of his early works on a pristine vinyl collection he'll never part w/. He's my primary source for all things jazz. He told me 'bout the rift 'tween Miles and Wynton (not Brandon). Miles himself was quoted as calling Wynton, "a nice young man, only confused" in reference to a comment Wynton made of Miles' later fusion work, some of his best work and again something Burns nearly skipped over. His lack of acknowledgement of artists like the late Jaco Pastorius, one of the best bass players ever, is a main reason many people had issues w/ the miniseries. As for the Punch, well, all I can say is that it was quite horrific to those who were in attendance (guys in the press box were talking 'bout how they could HEAR the punch!) and the sight was pretty gory. Rudy missed more than 5 months recovering from it.

I found a book I was wanting to read a while back, "The Punch" by John Feinstein, real cheap the other day, so I'm reading that now. The details of just how much damage Kermit Washington did to Rudy T that night are shocking.

He's pretty good, but he does tend to play favorites. He's no real fan of bebop, so his Jazz miniseries was great if you're a purist like Wynton Marsalis (a contributor and featured guest in the miniseries), but not so much if you're a fan of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, or even Miles Davis (who once told Marsalis to "get the **** off the stage" when someone tried to get the two to jam together).

Well.....well.......he sure showed Pac Man and Chris Henry who's boss!

This may have been brought up, but if you regulate drugs, there's going to be some kind of limits in terms of how potent you make them. Someone would create a black market drug that would be mroe potent, so you wouldn't stop "illegal drugs" by doing so.

Shouldn't it be "noo visiter"?

I saw you and cincy play.

Good question.

I know where we're going next time we meet up w/ you and the Mrs...

So should you. 12

They may be going for a repeat title then. And by "they", I don't mean PENN STATE, sadly.

You'd better. In the meantime, I guess that's one more pile on for you, EZC. Seeeee youuuuuu......in Sep....tem....berrr......

So, what do you get if you win this thing?

Well, I don't know football either, and that doesn't prevent me from coming here and making predictions.

You're all wrong. Here's the Final Four: East Region: Butler Midwest Region: Cal-Fullerton South Region: Cornell West Region: Baylor Semifinals: Butler over Cal-Fullerton in overtime Baylor over Cornell in a blowout Championship: Baylor beats Butler 76-65 for the national title
