I've come to accept that when Lombardi says something is in the works and/or might happen, he's not blowing smoke based on conjecture he yanked from his derriere. The man is legitimately connected. Besides, I don't have a day of employment in the NFL, let alone over 20 years working with front offices, scouts and agents and front office phones, but it makes perfect sense. No doubt Mangini sold Lerner that he has to first strip all of the high-round pollution littered and left by his predecessors, as well as the high-dollar free agent pollution left by his predecessors, like Fatso Rogers. A couple year process of waste disposal. Thus giving Mangini four years with which to supposedly build. Pretty clever. Who says chunky 30-something white guys shaped like Norm from "Cheers" have no brains.

Wimbley has been pathetic for the past few years. Perhaps the Wimbley of six games is an aberration. The equivalent of a former Jet who found a few-week supply of Ryan Tucker's steroids lying underneath a table in the training room. terje, you're borrowing my ideas.
