The Buffalo Bills are my new favorite team in the NFL.
"Why on earth would you root for the Bills, a team that has had one winning season in the last 13 years?"
Well, there are a couple of reasons:
1) I've always tended to root for the underdog;
2) Jeff Tuel might be their starting QB for their first game.
Jeff was the QB for the WSU Cougars (Go Cougs!). Although he was 4-22 as a starter, he . . . um . . . He's a Cougar!
WSU gave us Jack Thompson (the Throwin' Samoan), Mark Rypien (won the Super Bowl with Washington) and Drew Bledsoe (along with a few other good QB's at the college level).
Jeff led the Cougars to a win over the Hated Huskies in his final college game.
He holds the record for the best completion percentage at WSU.
He is the only WSU QB other than Drew Bledsoe to start as a true freshman.
If he does start in Week 1, he will be the first undrafted QB to start since 1970, or maybe 1967, or maybe 1950, or maybe since dirt.
He's a Cougar. He was undrafted. He plays for the Bills.
You can't get more underdoggy than that.

A Few Words About Comments
Comments are always welcome here, but there are a few things you should know:
1) If you comment, leave a name. If you can't figure out how to log in or register or whatever the system is making you do (which, believe me, I fully understand how frustrating that can be) and you must comment anonymously . . . leave a name in the comment section. Purely anonymous comments will be deleted.
2) Comments I deem to be offensive, irrelevant, or generally trollish will be deleted. I'm mainly talking to the Akurians here. Don't make me get out my flag!
3) If you would like to receive e-mail notification of other comments so you can more easily follow a conversation (yeah, like I ever have those on this blog), you must register with Blogger. Sorry . . . I didn't have anything to do with that one.
Enjoy the game.
