I'm guessing he sees Spiller as a guy who can only handle 20 touches in a game. I don't get it really. Why draft a guy in the Top 10 you will only use for 20 touches when he has shown he deserves more?

Spiller is only getting 14 carries in this game when he has a 5.5 ypc average and is the Bills' best game breaking running back[/i]<br /><br />This is Buffalo sports talk radio for the entire season. As much as we all love Fred, we do acknowledge that Spiller should be getting the ball more. Can't really comment much on the game otherwise due to the NFL's arcane blackout policy.

You are ...Rich, you aren't stepping on my toes. You are right, I am surprised by how Belcher was characterized by his agent and Peter's response to it. I am also surprised he wanted PFF to evaluate him as a football player. I thought that was needless as well. <br /><br />I have MMQB pretty much written at this point and had forgotten about the Batch win in the Steelers SB victory year. I made a point about how he can drive to Boston for a doctor's visit and buy coffee 2-3 times a day, but he can't pay $3 more for the tunnel. <br /><br />Zidane, I didn't know you were wrong and I wasn't aware there was inflation on fines. Knowing the NFL they will round $8268.75 to $8300.

The fines were all even numbers last season: $5K, $10K, $25K, etc., and they go up 5% every year. That's why the standard fine is $7,875 this season ($7.5K * 1.05). Next season it will probably be $8,268.75 (or maybe they'll round to $8,250).ZidaneValornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-24000019951969064642012-12-03T18:58:26.230-05:002012-12-03T18:58:26.230-05:00I know you're going to get around to PK's ...I know you're going to get around to PK's abortion of an article tomorrow and I don't want to step on your toes, but it's one of those few articles that I am honestly baffled got published.<br /><br />I'm not even going to talk about his handling of the Belcher incident which was vomit inducingly fluff. Other than the fact PK leads by saying he shot his gf nine times, you'd think he was the nicest guy ever.<br /><br />Maybe I'm just a little more pissed off because here in Kansas City, people are actually trying to defend Belcher (not joking), but PK basically cops out on the fact that an NFL player killed his gf and shot himself. The only differences b/w him and Rae Carruth is that Carruth didn't kill himself and therefore was trashed by the media.<br /><br />Shit, I talked about it.<br /><br />1) He called last night's win the best ever for Charlie Batch - bullshit. Charlie Batch started two games for Pitt in the 2005 season, the year the won the SB. Pitt ended up 10-6 that year. Those become losses, Pitt doesn't win a SB.<br /><br />3) <b>this piece of wisdom from one of Sunday's heroes. Brady Quinn</b><br /><br />Brady Quinn is not a fucking hero.<br /><br />4) <i>If you're a Giants' fan, and you see "Jason Pierre-Paul, DNP (back),'' meaning Pierre-Paul didn't practice Saturday because his back flared up prior to a game against Robert Griffin III, all of a sudden you take back the house money you wagered on your G-Men and you think: Maybe I should watch the game tonight for entertainment reasons only.</i><br /><br />He then predicts an incredible 3 point victory for the Redskins. I can see why I should be worried about the Giant.<br /><br />5) His factoid of the week is that Russell Wilson transferred to Wisconsin, which was one of the most talked about events of that off-season and people instantly talked about Whisky as a national title contender.<br /><br />For a guy whose been in Wilson's corner all year, this really shouldn't be coming out as a "factoid" in week 12.<br /><br />6) His second "factoid" is that some guys who play in the NFL didn't get scholarships... when there are quiet a few (Patriot and Ivy league for example) that don't give out athletic scholarships.<br /><br />7) He compares the SA Spurs fine for sitting their players to NFL fines as if the NFL fines are the benchmark for what Stern's fines are.<br /><br />8) He continues to call John Abraham, a 4 time pro-bowler and member of the Jets "All-Time Four Decade Team" who just signed a 3 year 16M extension, underappreciated.<br /><br />9) Him calling out AP for looking at the scoreboard to see if defenders were behind him - something every NFL player does.<br /><br />10) He bitches about the price of the tunnels into NY. As if the city hadn't just spent a shitload of money getting those tunnels clear of water. <br /><br />That and the fact PK here just spent top dollar to take the train up to Boston for a friggin' doctor's visit. Once you do that, you lose the ability to complain about the prices.<br /><br />Oh and if that's too expensive, take the path, it's like two and a quarter.richnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-43178435021682622202012-12-03T18:43:40.031-05:002012-12-03T18:43:40.031-05:00Zidane, I figured that was it, but I do feel like ...Zidane, I figured that was it, but I do feel like the Bears and Chiefs play often.
