The Dean

I get PI fairly often. For relief I have found a few products that work fairly well: This is good, but stains the skin quite a bit. I like it because it seems to dry up the infection: http://www.amazon.com/Zytrel-Liquid-Quickl...g/dp/B000GCPWXW Your basic Benadryl spray is good to carry around and use as needed. Here's the brand name, but the generic Walgreens or CVS brands are fine: http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/catalog/shop_pro...&navCount=3 Usually when I really like a product it goes off the market fairly quickly. There was one gel that had "Rhino" in the name, but I haven't been able to find it on a quick Google search. Maybe it is off the market.

I played football, too. I know what the drill is. I also know this means very little in the big picture and has nothing to do with playing on the interior defensive line. EDIT: Do you think Ted Washington was asked to run this drill on day one of TC? Do you really think he finished it? I don't like this guy much either, and it will be great if he remains out of condition and doesn't deliver on his contract. My point is, this means squat.

Wow.

Maybe it can't make calls, but it looks to make a nice little practice amp.

I had read the byline before I posted "Who". Once again, I ask, "Who?"

You must have ZERO confidence in Kafka is you are gloating after the first day of camp. I think if you really thought he was going to do well, you might wait until he actually did SOMETHING.

Yes, a team can make a counter-offer to a player on their PS (a player can accept any offer he wants), and according to some reports the Packers did just that. Here's one example: http://m.courier-journal.com/news.jsp?key=...p;rc=sp&p=1 Here's another: http://blog.syracuse.com/sports/2009/11/re...ille_quart.html

Ugliest seats I have ever seen, I think.

Not to defend this fat tub of goo, but running two consecutive 300 yard circuits has about zero to do with playing his position. It doesn't even approximate the kind of conditioning he needs for that position, as far as I can tell.

I don't know the figures for Rush, but for a band of their stature, touring is a major cash cow. Major bands make far more on touring, these days, than they do on recordings. At least that's the way I hears it. That may be changing a bit, or we might just be in a small downturn this year. I also hear concerts aren't selling as well this year.

Missed a total of FOUR games the past two seasons. Pretty strong glass, I'd say. If Poz is glass, what is Bob Sanders?

Nope. Not a one.

Seriously, what a joke. If they are making $300 a gig they are not "mid-level". Of course, maybe they are a "mid-level" Christian heavy metal band.

I nearly went that route myself. I taught for three years or so at UB while working on my Masters and PhD (ABD, by the way, quit the dissertation stuff when I decided to bail on being a professor). While technically a Graduate Teaching Assistant, I was teaching my own classes w/o any interference from faculty and even got to create and teach my own 400-level course. For the most part, I really enjoyed the experience and was pretty good at it. I won an excellence in teaching award for best GA one year. I "went another direction" after teaching full-time at Canisius College for one semester. It was a miserable experience. I figured I would be more likely to end up at a place like Canisius in my first job, than be at a big institution like UB. The pay depends a lot on where you teach, whether you publish a text book that is widely used, and other ancillary forms of income. But if you are a full professor at any decent university you are probably not "lower middle class". You aren't likely to become rich, but you aren't anywhere near poor, either. And in many institutions the politics relegate you to anything but "ease". If you are looking for tenure and advancement, you'd better be publishing and/or bringing in grant $$. Excellence in teaching is barely valued at many institutions.

He is to miss the start of CAMP, not the start of the season.

I believe YOU have said some bad things about the Bills.

VABILLS? Petrino?

Fantastic. Thanks. As for the bolded sentence, I don't think it makes any difference in how much Ralph gets.

I believe it was the county. From what I have heard, Ralph never like that it was named for an outside entity. I wish someone here had the full scoop.

Just don't let on that it's fun, and we should be fine.

Wormhole

Much better. Still I doubt plenty of what we think we are sure of, including much of what we think is impossible.

I can't run a 4 minute mile either. It must be impossible! (It IS for me.)

Poppycock!

The Bills do not own the naming rights to the stadium, if I recall correctly. I believe the County owns the rights. It was Erie County that decided to name the stadium Ralph Wilson, I believe.
