Nah, plenty of comedy shows don't have laugh tracks (Scrubs is my favorite), but I was just being facetious.

Screw it, let's just cut or trade all of the starters and see if we can get enough draft picks to draft an entire rookie lineup.

I've watched it a few times on WGN and thought it was really well written. But it just seemed like a Canadian show that would never attract an audience here, probably because it doesn't slap you in the face with a laugh track.

Salt Lake used to be where you'd go if you had zero interest in edible pizza. Now we've got two places that serve some fantastic pizza, some of the best I've had in a long time (since I lived in Buffalo). One of them is a stone's throw from my house: Este Pizza, which serves fantastic NYC-style thin crust pizza. The other is Settebello, an authentic Napoli-style pizzeria which uses a brick oven imported from Italy. Also fantastic thin crust pizza.

I didn't know anyone else even knew about that one.

If we can do that, then we also get an award for best draft ever. How many teams hit on all three first day picks and plug all of their major holes?

I could watch that a hundred times and never get tired of it.

I am so horrifically embarrassed right now. I don't think I can even wear any Bills clothing anymore.

Do they think any of the players on the two Super Bowl teams who were voted to the Pro Bowl would actually play in that game and risk being injured?

Perfect....absolutely perfect.

Seriously? No, seriously?

Hmm. Hasn't worked that well so far for Cleveland and Notre Dame...

Not that I disagree, but outside run plays generally don't work well against defenses that run a 3-4 (at least those that run it well). The linebackers are generally too fast for a runner to get outside. Omon tried it once and got swallowed immediately.

I'm pretty sure Fred is an RFA, although someone may try to pry him away with a nice contract offer, given that he was undrafted (wasn't he?). I'll say this, though: if we don't keep at least one of Fred or Jabari (and preferably both), I'm going to flip out on this front office.

Awesome. A guy who couldn't crack the starting lineup for the Detroit Lions, the most awful team perhaps in the history of the game. Bring him on!

Actually, I think this one is the true measure.

sack, fumble

Sweet. Another thread identifying Peters as the problem.

God I hate that line of reasoning.

Well, I can't help, but thanks for dropping back in and keeping us in the loop, so to speak.

I wasn't there, so I can't say if there was any wind down on the field at that point in the game, but all throughout the rest of the game any punt or kickoff going towards that end zone looked like it hit a brick wall and came straight down out of the air.

Dude, the point is not that he decided to throw on that play -- there are plenty of safe, high-percentage pass plays you can run in that situation. That play, in fact, was probably a safe, high-percentage pass play. The point is that the call was to pass it to the freaking fullback. The fullback! The reason JP ended up holding the ball too long is that the fullback never made it past the line of scrimmage -- he got taken out of the play. That's why you don't draw up pass plays for the damn fullback. Toss an easy one to Jackson, Lynch, Reed, Evans...hell, even Schouman or Fine, who at least are supposed to know how to catch the ball. There are playmakers on this offense. But the fullback? Seriously, the fullback? The more I say that the more incredible it sounds. I'm just flabbergasted.
