After two consecutive games ridden with complete ineptitude, Buffalo quarterback J.P. Losman is being replaced as starter by rookie Trent Edwards. Bills fans have seen glimpses of their 3rd round pick from Stanford’s potential in early games, with a 3-1 record as a starter including a win over the Ravens, a season sweep of the lowly Jets and a heartbreaking loss on national television to the Cowboys.
While Edwards may not be the next Brady, he does one thing that Losman is seemingly incapable of — protect the football. I can excuse J.P.’s inability to see the linebacker sitting on his passes over the middle, the game moves fast and you have seconds to react. What I can’t excuse is his instinct to loft flying ducks into the secondary as he is being dragged to the ground by three defensive lineman who have been chasing him backwards for 20 yards. That’s not how you win football games, it’s how you give me a heart attack.
Will Edwards be our next Kelly? Only time will convince me if he’s the future of my beloved team, but, for now, in Trent I trust. Go Bills!

If you watch television you’re probably aware of the writers strike currently in progress which is pitting show writers against their parent companies in a fight over the value of digital content. Corporations, like Viacom, seem to feel that digital content is too new to be able to accurately assess it’s value. Yet, if it’s their digital content being wrongfully used, it’s value is astronomical. Like, let’s say, a billion dollars.
Since the Daily Show writers have nothing else going on at the moment, they’re continuing to do what they do best— satirizing current events. Check out this video they’ve put together from behind the picket line giving their two cents on the situation.
I recently launched a site redesign for Kelly Architects, an interior architectural design studio based in Los Angeles. All of the design / development work was painstakingly done by yours truly and is solely responsible for the complete lack of recent posts.
I’d like to say I’ll have more time to write in the near future, but I am jumping directly into my next project — a Facebook application for my friends over at mental_floss called “Spot the Big Fat Lie”.
