Bill Walsh claims SanFran is Phillips’ 1st choice.

Fox claims that Phillips spoke with the Bills on Monday, although Butler told WKBW that he hadn’t spoken with Phillips agent since Friday. There seems to be some fibbing going on around here…

This AP story claims the 49ers are still very interested in Phillips, even though they just signed Charlie Garner. Of course, anyone who plays for the league minimum is a friend to SanFran after this offseason’s bloodbath.

Len Pasquarelli claims Buffalo is close to signing Phillips, but ESPN is saying the 49ers are still hot on his trail.

Bruce Smith isn’t even mentioned as one of the best DEs in the NFL, despite having double-digit sack totals over the past 3 years. I don’t get it. What is wrong with these people?

Okay, Buffalo has Andre Reed and Eric Moulds. Miami has dog doo, yet Miami’s WRs rank higher than Buffalo’s? Doesn’t seem very well thought out, does it. Eric Moulds does get special recognition, though. And we thought TSN was getting rid of their pro-Porky bias. We were wrong.
