NFL Season Preview: Buffalo Bills

Solicit Like A Champion
We know that Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis is infinitely more popular than Tyrone Willingham ever was (even though they have pretty much the same record at the university). But it's possible he was paying too much attention to his gastric bypass surgery than his players' well-being, because one of t...
Careful What You're Eating In Anaheim
When you think of rat-infested hellholes, usually you're veering more toward Detroit, or The Bronx, or even downtown St. Louis. You're not necessarily thinking of Anaheim. But boy howdy, they sure are having some rat problems in the land of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim....
Glavine Gets His Zack Snyder On
We congratulate Tom Glavine on earning his 300th win last night. We also appreciate that he didn't drag it out too long; unlike some people, he hasn't taken so long that we find ourselves rooting for him to break a record we don't actually want him a break, just so everyone will be quiet....

Greg Oden is Exceedingly Likeable
Today's issue of the Oregonian includes a revealing feature on Blazers rookie Greg Oden. Joe Freeman does an excellent job conveying his subject's personality to the reader and even the Buckeye hater in me can't help but lighten up. It's not the first article to praise the young star but it does cov...
Washington Wizards beat writer Ivan Carter is reporting that the team has agreed to send the rights to Spanish superstar—and Pau Gasol's bosom-buddy—Juan Carlos "La Bomba" Navarro to Memphis. In exchange they'll give up a future first round pick that might be lottery protected (crap). I'm not thrill...
