Someone spray-painted racist messages on a guy's truck. Collision Masters took care of it.

Best lawn mower I ever had was Jesus, across the street...
Does he offer a discount? Cuz, you know ... Jesus saves.

Yeah...
Wiki is good for stuff like who was drafted or who won SB IV.
It's not a bad way to learn about a new topic, assuming the article has good sources. It's also a decent way to find sources, but it's not a source in itself. There should be a "basic research ability" requirement for elected officials.

Which is more embarrassing: not knowing how to browse in privacy mode or using Wikipedia as a source?

Might you have been an accomplice? Surely the statue of limitations has made it safe to come clean. Are you an Ostrich Whisperer?
One ostrich couldn't have done it alone. There was a second ostrich behind the grassy knoll.

NFL announces Bills WR Walter Powell has been suspended for the first four games of the regular season for violating the league's performance-enhancing substance policy. Powell played in nine games last season, catching 14 passes for 142 yards before an ankle injury ended his year. He was on the roster bubble this summer.
His bubble just popped.

I don't trust a list that has geno smith(16) as not ready for prime time and fitz(29th) as clipboard holder.
Agreed. I'd have Fitz in the Useful Stand-in category. Geno goes to the Emergency Only group.

I would love this...he may not even make the team but at least this would satisfy his need to know if he could make it. He can't be much worse than Reggie Bush..
I gained more yards last year than Reggie Bush.

I'm surprised the votes were almost evenly split between Shady and Sammy. If both were living up to their potential, then I could see it, but so far, McCoy is a much bigger part of the offense than Watkins. Hopefully Sammy stays healthy and kicks it up a notch this year.

As an engineer, I used most of what I learned in school, except Calculus. OK, technically I used Calculus concepts with respect to PID control systems, but even then I never had to take a derivative or an integral or solve a differential equation - I just had to know that derivative means instantaneous slope and integral is a summation.
I tell my engineering students that algebra and trig only solve 99.99% of the problems; for the rest, you need Calculus.

Too bad that went in the books as an incomplete pass. Ruled on the field (correctly) as a fumble/recovery/TD, it was overturned on replay. Other than that, the play itself was a thing of beauty.

...sorry but extending his playing days should amount to a one day Bills contract, retire as a Bill and end up on WOF....go out on top FredEx..................
Yes. It's time. Emotionally I was bummed when the Bills cut him, but even then my brain knew it was the right thing to do. The past two seasons have pretty much proven that. I love ya, Freddie, but at this point a mid-round rookie is probably at least as productive and less injury-prone. Walk away - don't limp.

Jonathan "fast freddie" smith.
i have no idea why his nickname was fast freddie and have always wondered.
He was speedy and one of his teammates was a big fan of alliteration.

I'm sick to death of them always showing "Elvis" on TV.

"The Bills currently hold the NFL's longest active streak for non-playoff seasons."
"... and their last playoff appearance ended with ..." (and then I hit the mute button.)
And any time a Bills FG misses to the right, I automatically reach for the mute button.
