In these days of online job application, you might never actually speak to anyone until the interview (phone or in-person). I thought it would be cool to go in and do the Slingblade voice impression for the interview. "Ya got any french fried taters in yer cafeteria?" Admittedly, this would be hard to pull off (you need to do some voice impressions too), and not get thrown out. Age discrimination has enabled me to retire a few years sooner than expected. I LOVE not going to work everyday!

Why not allow all 53 to be active for the GD Super bowl fer chrissake?! Put that in the stinkin' CBA.

Except that one of his pupils is coaching the Titans, so that might soothe his mind (unfortunately).

I miss some of the all-star games of old. The Blue-Gray Game was held on Christmas Day in Birmingham AL (I think). I used to think those people were especially dedicated to be doing it on Christmas. The Ricoh Japan Bowl was held in Japan. What a great fringe benefit for the top college players. There may be one or two minor all-star games left, but they seem hard to find.

Yes, that is what the draft hounds are saying. Bills need 1 or 2 wide receivers, oh yeah.

So Earl Gray Tea would be wrong. Oh wait, is it spelled TEE in England?

He was great on that Bear Grylls adventure show - rapelling down cliffs, etc. He is a fun guy to watch. He did not look like he has much gas left in his tank, just no burst at all.

Did you see the article about Knox, saying he can't wait to get started training for next season? It's very encouraging. He plans to train with Josh. I'm excited to see Knox's development! Sweeney, too, but Knox is a special talent.

IIRC Ralph forced the Marshawn Lynch pick (having seen his bowl game, or some such), and then another RB (Fresno St?) in the 4th round. Meddling owners...

Get headsets for both secretaries. They can say they are transcribing and need to listen closely. The other one could be on a fake phone call.

Wasn't that great seeing BB pissed off at Vrabel pulling his own tricks on him! A very happy outcome to that game. Wow, how do you (other poster) create "photo-shopped" videos? That is really cool.

When Neal had that sack, he stood over Watson for a moment, and I thought they might flag him. Just walk away, son, no gloating please. He has had some great ST plays this season, too.

It really bothers me that the Bills carry only 2 RBs active each game. And don't tell me Sinorise Perry counts as #3 Many good teams use 3 active RBs on game day. I wish the Bills would do that. Happy New Year (and new decade) to all my Bills brothers and sisters!

And don't these futures contracts happen at some fixed date, like the start of the NFL year, March 1 or so?

Hah! I had forgotten about that little gem!

Watching George Kittle makes me think that Knox could fill that role. Isn't Kittle a 3rd year guy? I love our 2 rookie TEs. Too bad Sweeney has not gotten more opportunities to play.

Croom spent 3 years at WR before Tennessee moved him to TE, IIRC Could Croom be the big-bodied WR we all hope for?

Are you serious? Who the hell supports the Pats* around here (other than PatsFan)?

Festivus seems to have no religious angle at all. Just a fun holiday alternative, originating from "a show about nothing". The airing of grievances with family and friends is really quite a practical idea - Hah! Yeah sure, expressing your feelings for the whole group? Yeah, maybe not.

Merry Christmas, Bills fans!!! If you ever have a chance to see the Fab Four in person, go see them. They put on an incredible show! (assuming you love Beatles music)

Isn't Dalton Risner playing OG for the Broncos, not OT?

Today, I noticed twice that he sacked/tackled, he made sure not to pounce on the guy. He walked away and celebrated. I was very encouraged by that, because those emotions had gotten him flagged just a few weeks ago.

Again, Knox is a rookie so we need to cut him some slack. He was primarily a blocker at Ole Miss, and he really seems to kick butt as a blocker. Yes, the drops are annoying, but when he catches it, he has shown some beast mode after the catch. Belichek wanted Knox during the draft, so that tells me a lot about Knox's abilities.

There was an awful lot of bullying going on in that elf workshop, too. Mean-spirited boss and all.
