Buffalo Bills Head Coach Draft Recap
Marty Schottenheimer
Ok, so we finally got through the draft. I had two guys on text and there was a bit of confusion. As it turned out, Jimmy selected Kirk Ferentz in Jeff’s spot. As a result, Jimmy got five guys and Jeff had three. So… to remedy the situation, Jeff added John Fox to his list and Jimmy dumped Pete Carroll.
All of this is acceptable providing Jeff is okay with (and he is – we chatted) not getting one of the following:
Cam Cameron, Jason Garrett, Mike Martz, Chris Peterson, Todd Bowles, Marty Mornhinweg, Jon Gruden.
And I am going to assume no one was going to want Pete Carroll. If you really want him, you can have him, because he will NOT be the next Bills head coach.

Buffalo Bills Head Coach Draft
We will be drafting coaching candidates for the Buffalo Bills this Thursday at 9:30 p.m. It will be a snake-style format based on a random draft order.
Entry fee: $10
The person who selects the candidate that the Bills make their head coach will win the pot.
I would like between six and ten entrants. Those who I have already spoken to will have top priority to join.
I anticipate selecting a total of about 30-40 candidates depending on the number of participants.

The Good News: The house down the street from Founding Fathers is for sale.
The Bad News: The asking price is $595,000.00

Quiet Dog
I read somewhere that Mos Def’s “Quiet Dog” is a must-download song of 2009. I found this performance from the Late Show with David Letterman. I can’t stop watching it.
Of course, Mos Def made the list of Stuff White People Like.

Doughty & Scrap at the Town Ballroom
The Question Jar Show Tour
Zach and I went to the Town Ballroom in Buffalo’s downtown theater district to see the duo of Mike Doughty and Andrew “Scrap” Livingston last night. Between songs they answered questions from audience members that were placed into the question jar. Our questions drew pleasurable responses from Mike, Scrap and the crowd.
Scrap answers my question: "Is Matt Damon a better actor with or without glasses? Please provide examples. Thanks." Scrap's enthusiastic response: "The Good Shepherd. Great movie. Great glasses. Great everything."
Santa Likes Volleyball
Apparently Santa enjoys high school volleyball. I spotted him at Daemen College for the Section VI Class AA girls’ volleyball championship between Orchard Park and North Tonawanda.

Professional Fist
Two nights ago marked my first experience fist-bumping in a professional setting. As I went in for a handshake, I was met with a clenched fist. I understand and respect that people are being more cautious of the germs that are floating around with the H1N1 threat, but it was a very odd situation. The act definitely took away from the traditional professionalism and courtesy that exists when two people shake hands. I have not grown accustomed to what could become our new way of greeting. As a result, I stumbled over my words and felt awkward for the brief amount of time I spoke with this person. It was uncomfortable, but I suppose that is common with change.
