Hey, Rapid Robert: Great meeting you at “Buffalo Rings & Things” … wasn’t the name of Lance’s Show —- “Bengals Breakdown —- appropriate? Bengals’ new slogan in ‘09: “There’s free coffee in the back. Have all you want.”By Johnny

Well, if ya can’t have fun on the Chickster’s blog, where are ya goin’ to go? To save money @ SnS, they’ll probably have an underling go for the pick-up, and call it catering!By psychostats

Did you guys hear the latest rumor from Pro Football Squawk? Mike Brown is supposedly sick and tired of underspending on scouting. So he’s breaking the bank and buying each of his family members a used DVR. All the better to help with those televised bowl games. The story is he got a great deal on ebay. Personally, I think that sounds much to extravagant for MB, but you never can tell.By photoman

Well, I’m sure there will be monetary fines involved for those family members caught not using their used DVR’s for scouting purposes. I’m sure MB has his bottom covered moneywise!By Bonnie

Hey, Bonnie: Nothing is wrong with Steak n Shake. I never said there was! The No. 1 SnS in the land is the ONE in downtown Indianapolis. It’s where all the NFL coaches hang out in the wee hours at the Combine in February. Ask for Connie Johnson as your waitress. She’s all that. Happy New Year, Ms. Bonnie Blue Butler —-ChickBy photoman

I think that Mike Brown should stick with the action he can handle. I see him scouting the toilet bowl.
