NFL's AFC East preview. Go 'Phins!! 10 things to watch for in the AFC East By BILL LANKHOF, Toronto Sun 1. The Patriots have ruled this division for six of the last seven years but the Jets advanced to the AFC championship last year and the Dolphins have upgraded their roster. Tom Brady is still the top of the class and he has a long list of reliable receivers. Despite all the talk about Wes Welker’s health the bottom line is that the Patriots’ plan for him to be available for the season opener against the Bengals and Terrell Owens. Then there are Randy Moss, Torry Holt, Julian Edelman and at mini-camps Brady was glowing in his assessment of second-year receiver Brandon Tate. But, there are issues on the offensive line, particularly on the left side and the Jets are transitioning into a championship contender behind sophomore quarterback Mark Sanchez. Only 23, he has taken on a leadership role. “This is my offence. You need to own it,†he told reporters when training camps opened. “When you walk in a room, people should know: That’s the quarterback. That’s our guy.†Brady couldn’t have said it better. Brandon Marshall, the big off-season acquisition in Miami has been injured but gives the team a downfield threat. While he hasn’t had the fanfare of Sanchez, Chad Henne is nicely maturing into a solid NFL starter. If he does falter, Chad Pennington is recovered from injuries and has probably looked better than any quarterback in camp. All three teams are playoff calibre. The Bills? Well, about the only good news is that Buffalo should get a very nice draft choice next year. So, how about those Sabres? 2. Who’s on guard? Patriots left guard Logan Mankins remains unsigned and unhappy. He watches Brady’s blind side and is the key blocker on many running schemes. Nobody pays any attention to the offensive linemen until some linebacker buries the star quarterback under 250 pounds of fury. Brady is gold. He’s money in the bank. But there’s not much use having a Fort Knox if you haven’t got someone to guard the door. 3. Take us to your leader: Problem in Buffalo is they don’t have a leader. Bills’ new head coach Chan Gailey stressed there will be an open quarterback competition, but Trent Edwards has been taking first-team snaps. This will be an on-going controversy because this team is going to lose a lot. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a sixth-year journeyman who finished last season as the starter. Then there’s Brian Brohm, a former second-round pick by the Packers. Many observers like him — mostly because they haven’t seen him mess up yet. There’s truth in the adage that the most popular guy in town is the backup quarterback. 4. Sad sacks: The Patriots need to improve their defence and are looking to first-round pick Devin McCourty to shore up the outside at cornerback. Pats ranked 22nd in sacks per pass play. 5. Table for Mr. Sanchez? Another year like last season and Joe Willie Namath will have to find another town to own. Sanchez may be the New York quarterback to eclipse the memory of the iconic Namath. 6. FOLK LORE: Kicker Nick Folk has a tough act to follow, replacing Jay Feeley. Folk was cut by the Cowboys last year after rushing back from an injury and missing 10 of 28 field-goal attempts. Jets need him to regain his Pro Bowl form of 2007. 7. Maroney baloney: The Patriots can’t wait much longer for Laurence Maroney to have a breakout season. In five seasons the running back has started only 14 games, has never rushed for more than 900 yards and fumbles too much. 8. WAITING ON SPILLER: C.J. Spiller, the ACC’s player of the year last season, was being counted upon to make a significant impact on a Buffalo offence ranked 25th or worst in yards gained in each of the past seven seasons. Instead, he’s unsigned. 9. REX WATCH: So, what’s the over-under on that vein in Rex Ryan’s forehead exploding? 10. DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER: The Jets are more than a team with the league’s most celebrated rookie QB. They were No. 1 in defence, had three Pro Bowl players on the offensive line, the No. 1 rushing attack and Sanchez has Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes who weren’t around at the beginning of last year. In this division, it doesn’t get any better. Your Comments

Wyclef Jean to seek Haitian presidency Wed Aug 4, 2:52 AM WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Haitian-American music star Wyclef Jean will announce his bid for president of earthquake-ravaged Haiti this week, Time magazine reported on Tuesday. Haiti, which was hit January 12 by a deadly 7.0-magnitude earthquake, is scheduled to vote on November 28 to elect a new leader to replace President Rene Preval, whose term ends in February. "If I can't take five years out to serve my country as President, then everything I've been singing about, like equal rights, doesn't mean anything," Jean said in an interview with Time. There has been widespread speculation that Jean would seek the office. Last week in Haiti he said he was taking the necessary legal steps toward running for president, including having his fingerprints taken by the judicial police. However, he said on Thursday in Port-au-Prince that he had not made a definite decision. Many analysts predict Jean -- who at 37 is very popular among Haitians, particularly the young -- would easily win the presidential election. A three-time Grammy award-winner, Jean was a founding member of the hip-hop trio The Fugees and won wider fame for his collaboration with Colombian pop star Shakira. He released a song two years ago called "If I Was President". Jean established the Yele Haiti Foundation in 2005 to provide humanitarian aid to the people of Haiti. He said after the January 12 earthquake which killed up to 300,000 people that Haiti's future rested on education, job creation and investment. "If not for the earthquake, I probably would have waited another 10 years before doing this," Jean told Time. "The quake drove home to me that Haiti can't wait another 10 years for us to bring it into the 21st century." Jean emigrated to the United States aged 9, but has maintained his Haitian citizenship, a requirement for running for the presidency.

I'll judge Escobar once the honeymoon is over. When he first arrived he was shy and humble but now that he has a couple weeks of playing under his belt i'm starting to see some swagger. Hoping the ego and swagger, as i call it, isn't what turned off his teammates in Atlanta, although it's the good players with confidence that become great.

MODERATOR DUDE!!

"I'm awesome." Reference #1 "I'm awesome." Reference #2 "I'm awesome." Reference #3 This remark is so untrue I don't know where to begin. Perhaps where there are countless people on this board with their actual names as their handle. But....."I'm awesome." Reference #4 Seriously dude. In one paragraph you state that you're so fucked up on the booze and drugs that you made a mistake in recording the set list, that you were so fucking sure was "bang on" and in the same breath mention that you're "batshit crazy" and hardly know what's going on. Then as a retort to a reply to that statement, and with various other baseless accusations, you go on to say that you're actually on top of the world with your great job and numerous occupations and responsibilities and "feminine friends" continuing on about how people are cramming animal tranqs up their "horns" Sad, really. ~Jeff English

**I suggest the Ignore option as well.**

I wondered about that. Did he mention if he brought mine back? Maybe I'll mail the poor guy his shirt back.....maybe.

Thanks Ollie, guess I'm not "in the know." makes sense though. i don't tweet.
