I echo many of the great thoughts here about Randy Smith, Ernie D and McAdoo. Here's a strange memory that I have from the Braves days: The Braves had a Center named Swen Nater. He was a stiff but he had a strange ritual. Before each game he would lace his wedding band into his sneakers. I remember being at a game in the Reds and focusing my binoculars on his sneakers and sure enough there was the wedding band. It didn't make him a better player, but it did make him a good husband.

My brother-in-law got a Bills logo done a few years back. Turns out he was allergic to the red ink and it bubbled up really bad. Evidently, many people react badly to red tattoo ink. The moral of the story is to test with a small amount of the red ink before you make the full plunge.

I was sitting in a Wendy's eating lunch when I read Ko's quote in the Buffalo News. I laughed out loud and drew looks from people at surrounding tables. It seems as if the sports scribes are going to love this kid. (BTW, the column also said that it was Ko's first sack ever - at any level of football.)

It's a bit of a stretch, but Mork and Mindy qualifies. The show was set in the 1970s, but occasionaly Mork would pop back to the 50s to hang out with Fonzie and Ritchie from Happy Days.

Bills Dolphins are dead Current squads couldn't care less Read today's B-News

A lot of good ones have been listed, but the coup de gras has to be this one held up by a fan halfway through the miracle comeback against the Oliers: I don't hear no fat lady singing!

I assume that it was our own Nick in England that was featured in the News NFL preview section. If so, nice pick and way to go carrying the Bills banner in the UK.

Rumor has it the Bills are looking at signing his college linemate Kitten Comforter.

Give that man a cigar! Way to go Carnac!

Do yourself a favor and get DirecTV. More channels, less expensive and you get both the NFL Network and OLN on the basic tier. Plus, they're giving a free Tivo receiver with new purchases. Cable's days are over!

The Turk visits One Bills Drive this afternoon. Most years, there is at least one eyebrow-raising cut by the Bills. Who will be the most shocking cut today? My pick: Troy Vincent. I just think that the Bills are going to a youth movement in the secondary and Troy might be a casulaty. I wish that Josh Reed would get the axe, but he must have naked pix of Jauron and a farm animal.

An elderly couple from Macon, GA are sitting in church one Sunday morning. About halfway through the preacher's sermon the old gal leans over to her husband and says: I just let out a silent fart, what should I do? Her husband looks back at her and says: Put a new battery in your hearing aid.

Just found the other post on this subject! In the words of Emily LaTella...never mind!

This mock logo was posted on the WGR website. Sabres Slug on Bills Helmet I have to admit that I like it alot better than I do in the Sabres colors.

Don't even go there - not even in jest.

Check out this auction: Rob Johnson Bobblehead It is supposed to be a Rob Johnson piece, but it looks just like my JK bobblehead with a #11 paint-over. What do you think?

A column on the mainpage said that Whitner paid five figures to Shaud for #20. 10 grand + to a guy that probably would have had to give up the number when he's cut in a week or two? Glad to see those NFL money management courses are paying off for the rook.

Great news! Finally, the full draft class is at camp. Lost in the haze of such giddy moments is the fact that someone gets sent packing to make room on the roster. Josh Brazen we hardley knew ya.

The AP writer of this piece: Bills Story states that, "The Greatest Show on Turf might work in the wild NFC West and the controlled environment of the Rams' indoor stadium. But this is Buffalo where, come late November, the snow falls, the winds blow and the mercury takes a nosedive." A wonderful observation except for the fact that the K-Gun existed and thrived despite those same weather conditions. The 51-3 pasting of the Raiders was a Jim Kelly aerial masterpiece painted in the face of howling January winds. I'm not saying that the current Bills can pull off that type of offense, but to say that they won't try because of the weather is a foolish statement - and one that is disproved by history. Talent - not weather - will keep the Bills from a high-octane offense this year.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but if you haven't seen this - it's hilarious! Barney Sabres Logo This has to be the worst logo in Buffalo sports history!

Gibson spent a couple of days at one of the hotels in N.F., Ontario that I work with. I had a chance to rap with him and he's a very well-spoken guy. I don't know how he'll grade out on the field, but I can tell you that, in person, he blocks out the sun. Hopefully, McNally can work some magic with this guy.

What seems to be missing from this discussion is the fact that Flutie's "miracle" season of 1999 spurred the sale of suites and premium boxes and led directly to the Bills staying in Buffalo. I'm convinced that without Flutie the Bills would have left town after that season. Whether you loved him or hated him you damned sure should add him to your prayers each night because if he wasn't a Bill the team probably would be in another city today.

Is there any way to synch up the radio call for Sabres games with the TV feed? I have DirecTV and the radio feed with Jenneret and Lorenz is a good 5 seconds ahead of the OLN TV image - making it impossible to handle. I need to hear RJ call the Carolina series. Has technology created a radio that has a delay button? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Coy Wire. Oh, I know, go ahead and snicker if you must. Just ask yourself one question: Have any of the current WOF members ever been on the front of a Coke machine? I think not!

State and Main My turn, "I had to tell Sal that Wyoming's not a country."
