The Fins picking Brady Quinn is an interesting call. Dante may never be the same quarterback again. Knees are complex instruments. Some athletes can bounce back from knee injuries, some not. His knee may hobble his mobility forever. Joey Harrington put his skills on display at RW Stadium with his 0.0 QB rating and again against the Jets at home. Nuff said. Cleo Lemon didn't show enough in coming off the bench to relieve Harrington to show he can be a franchise quarterback.

Do you think it was that nostalgia that motivated Shula to stay on stage? The Colts mystique is less and less tied to the city of Baltimore as time passes and increasingly is tied to the state of Indiana. Particularly now after winning the Superbowl. I figured Shula was asked to carry the Lombardi to the podium because he was so associated with the city hosting XLI. I also wonder if the Colts arranged for him to stay on the podium with them, in the event they won. One additional person on the stage (i.e., Shula) allows one less Colts player or even management member (Polian perhaps??) to be on the small podium. I wonder if it grated any Colts players having Shula up there instead of one of their own.

Do you think the NFL has pre-approved form letters responding to letters like this? "Dear Mr. Smith, We appreciate your interest in pursuing an NFL team at this time. Unfortunately no current openings are available. We will keep your letter on file for 6 months in the event our needs change Thank you for your interest in the NFL. We wish you the best of success in your future endeavours. Yours truly, Roger Goodell NFL Commisioner"

How about "Fins Media Relations Manager". He's got expertise in this area after dealing with the "difficult" Buffalo press. (MM will always feel the Buffalo media was tougher than the media can be in places like NY, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Chicago).

Well done Georgia Bill. Your picks were right on target.

Brady for the next 2-3 years Vince Young for the future. (The guy is a rock star and, by the end of his career, will be THE best African-American QB to play the game ... supplanting the greats like Warren Moon and the others).

.... and a Superbowl free of a--holes like Belichek and Parcells and their ilk is a good thing.

Rhodes should cash in now. His market value will never be higher than it is now. Experts questioned Polian for letting Edge go last year to free agency. Addai - Rhodes clearly replaced him admirably. Next year, it will be Addai -- ???tbd.

If ML and the brain trust signed Donte, they're probably close to developing their strategy re: Nate and what to offer him.

He should be able to help the team on L O N G drives.

Agreed. And way better than McCartney.

The divide between the old school owners and the new rich boy owners who bought in for big bucks (Kraft, Arthur Black, Jerry Jones, et. al.) continues to grow. The new rich boy owners have no patience for Ralph and his ilk. I'm sure behind the scenes they continue to label RW a crybaby as he and Shumer plead the Bills case.

He's a Steve Smith in the making. Let's hope they complement his other side with someone more impactful than Peerless Price. Indy's Harrison-Wayne double punch has been deadly for years now.

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/loca...ports-headlines From Head Coach to Offensive Coordinator to Tight Ends Coach(??) in the span of 13 months. I'm happy that Mr. Gadget Play will remain in the AFC East with one of our competitors. Let them endure his bumbling play-calling and coaching.

Can you forsee Willis increasing his contract demands in order to feed all the kids? Remember that he is the "best" running back in the NFL.

Take Michael Vick out and insert the following name -- 6ft4 Vince Young -- who by the end of his career, could be the greatest African-American quarterback to ever play the game. The guy could be a rock star in this league.

They also thumped the Bills 40-7.

To answer your question, let me give you an example: his tremendous self-sacking abilities.

Rhodes is going into free agency this year. We'll see how much Polian/Dungy want him back and whether they think he is replaceable/irreplaceable.

I also respect his knowledge but also his passion/enthusiasm for the game.

Because they couldn't (1) Split the award between Rhoes and Addai nor (2) Give it to the defence, they gave it to the offensive team's "manager". Manning did a good job of managing the game.

WTF is Don Shula's problem? So he gets to carry the Lombardi trophy up to the podium. Goodell presents the trophy to Colts owner Ursay and leaves the stage to allow the Colts to enjoy the limelight. Don Shula??? Well, he stays up on the podium behind Peyton, and Dungy, and Ursay. Get the frig off the stage Donnie. Your time has long passed. If the Commish can leave the podium, me thinks you can too.

.... and JP will crack the Top 10 next year in QB stats.

Or some of BSU's key competitors in the WAC.

And Sports Illustrated picked the 2006 Miami Dolphins to win Superbowl XLI after finished 2005 strongly at 9-7. Let's feel good about increased recognition for our 7-9 Bills, but let's take "expert" opinion with a grain of salt.
