Bills News and Notes 6/24

PrintLast week, we started up a little summertime feature here at Buffalo Rumblings. Caption contests are rather cliche when it comes to surfing the Interwebs, but hey - it's not like football fans have anything better to do this time of year. We can discuss Brett Favre, if you... what's that? Stick with the caption contest? Agreed.
We've got a lovely AP photo of Terrell Owens for you to humor-ize this morning. Have at it. In the meantime, enjoy a few Bills-related articles you may have missed. And don't forget to congratulate thatguy34 for winning over your insanely biased judge - me - as well as winning last week's caption contest with this beauty of an entry:
Dick Jauron: "I love inside jokes. I’d love to be a part of one someday."
Well played, sir. Well played. Like I said - biased. So if you're looking to win this week's caption contest, it's all about pop culture references of any kind. If I get it (I'm a nerd, your chances are excellent), you've got a chance.
* The Bills have now surpassed 55,000 season ticket holders. Way to hold up your end of the bargain, Bills fans.
* Rookie FS Jairus Byrd is anxious to get onto the practice field and apply his new knowledge.
* Some folks up north are upset that QB Trent Edwards graces the Rogers Centre, but no Toronto Argonaut shares the glory.
* SS Donte Whitner's case was pushed back to July 31; a plea deal is expected to be reached before then.
* Oh yeah - T.O. was on TV.
* Did I mention Terrell Owens is a Superstar?
* The AP reports that the Browns have acquired former Bills LB Blake Costanza. No word on whether any of us have actually seen this kid play, or, far more importantly, whether or not he's related to George. Blake Costanzo, however, will be sorely missed by this Bills fan. Special. Teams. Demon.
* Nice article from Brownie on rookie TE Shawn Nelson's adjusting to the pro game.
* Matt linked to this article last week, but it's worth re-linking: Tim Graham interviews Ted Marchibroda re: Buffalo's brand new no huddle offense.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got an idea, an idea so smart my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about.”

Whoa, Yoda, wait up…I keep trying to use the Force, but how do I get the ball to float into my hands when we keep handing it off to the running backs?!?

“Listen Dick, there is no possible way that you are my father, so lay off, OK?!”
“Doooode, she would rather kiss a wookie!! You just got owned!!”

You get my vote. I wondered how Dick thought he was going to control T.O.

I just read a couple of different reviews…So far, it looks like Megan is the real reason to see it…But, hey, what do critics know…It’s summer movie entertainment, and was never “going for an Oscar” material…

Essentially...
great special effects, stuff blows up, Megan Fox…

T.O. – But how will I know the good behavior from the bad?
Jauron – You will know……when you calm, at peace, passive, not yelling at your QB or coaches, handing the ball to the officials after you score a TD, not saying stupid things to the media.
T.O. – No…..It can’t be……that is impossible!!!!!
Jauron – Search your feeling, you know it to be true.
T.O. – NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! (cut to Sharpie falling from his hand and hitting the turf)

“…oh my god I kidnapped a kid. Where’s my agent”
- “I’m here TO”
“Go in there, pay him for his pizza, and tip him nicely”
That's just a cheap Office reference, tim.

I appreciate it, though.

Turk: Trent’s had a hell of a day and even worse week. I think we’re gonna have to run the ball the entire game.
Dick: Whoa. Whoa. Why do you gotta use the “r” word in front of the TO? All ya gotta do is say “earmuffs.”
(To T.O.) Can ya earmuff it for me Terrell?
(To Turk)…and you can say “Marshawn, Freddy, Rhodes”…whatever you want.
Alex Van Pelt: Xavier. Hall.
Dick: Okay, I’m just trying to make a point, Alex. You don’t have to celebrate it.
If the glove don’t fit, it couldn’t be Whit...

Maybe this is what Tom Curran was talking about the other day…

Not cool man, not cool, I was all set to make a tree fall on one of the RBs so I would get more balls tossed my way….”
