 Inside slant

Saturday, May 10, 2008 - 05:39 AM

Did the Bills wait too long in the recent NFL draft to take a tight end that can help spark their 30th-ranked passing game? Club officials don't believe so. Derek Fine, a 6-3, 250-pound fifth-year senior who helped Kansas win a school-record 12 games last fall, was selected in the fourth round by Buffalo 132nd overall and the 10th tight end overall.

 From draft day to rookie camp, small-town player gets his chance

Saturday, May 10, 2008 - 05:26 AM

Bills News and Notes KANSAS CITY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: The rookie has two bags, an MP3 player and a ticket he's eyeballing like a straight-flush poker hand. He fetches a ride with his girlfriend, because his old green clunker died months ago. She tells him she loves him, and that she'll see him in three days.

They know, as they say goodbye in a crowded hallway near the security gate, that his life is about to change.

 Vick ordered to pay Royal Bank of Canada $2.4 million

Friday, May 09, 2008 - 12:59 PM

NFL News and Notes A federal judge in Virginia has ordered imprisoned NFL quarterback Michael Vick to repay more than $2.4 million to a Canadian bank for defaulting on a loan.

 Don't rush to judgment on Marvin Harrison

Friday, May 09, 2008 - 12:51 PM

NFL News and Notes Most of my knowledge about police operating procedure is based on what I've seen on television and what my sports editor, a former crime reporter, tells me.

Fortunately, my only firsthand experience involves speeding and failure to come to a complete stop. (Come to think of it, some of my columns suffer from the same problems.)

 An interview with Nick Bakay

Friday, May 09, 2008 - 12:47 PM

BBI General Stories Regular readers of this column may recall how a few weeks ago I mentioned watching Night After Night in the early 1990s. I said I missed host Allan Havey and his announcer, Nick Bakay.

After that column ran I got an e-mail from Bakay, who I consider a comedy god. What follows is our e-mail Q&A session.
