Not many people thought the Bills stood a chance against Tom Brady's crew. However, the Bills were in it -- and winning -- until they, well, dropped the ball. Leodis McKelvin fumbled a kickoff return, choosing to run with the ball rather than take a knee in the endzone. Bad decision. But the second-year player said if he had to, he do to it over. He'd still run it out of the endzone. I'm sure Bills fans appreciate that.

Some other things important and not so important:

-The Cubs are looking to shop Carlos Zambrano in the offseason. The righty pitcher is due more than $50 million over the remainder of his contract. While getting that contract off the books and receiving solid prospects in return would be good idea, trading the ace with no potential replacement in sight would ultimately not be a good move for a playoff-caliber team marred by injuries and under-performance.

-Tom Brady doesn't want to talk to Suzy Kolber. That's a shame. I'm sure Joe Namath is disappointed in the young gun slinger.

-Those of you who were upset by the loss of Fire Joe Morgan can now rejoice. The main contributors of that site will be taking over Deadspin tomorrow, Sept. 16. It should be a blast.

The Roster

Mug

Dave Miniaci is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports chief. He has previously been sports night chief and a sports copy editor. He has also covered men's rugby, men's track and field and field hockey. He is from New Jersey and is a big Devils fan and proud of both, and he doesn't care if you hold that against him.


Mug

Adam Clark is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports editor. He previously covered fraternity and sorority life, crime and courts and was the Collegian's summer 2009 news/sports editor. His favorite athlete died on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 and his favorite football team is coming off the worst six-year stretch in NFL history. He does hold it against Dave Miniaci that he's from New Jersey.


Mug

Dan Rorabaugh is a senior majoring in sports journalism and minoring in English. He is the sports copy desk chief, and was previously a reporter for the men's rugby, men's cross country, men's volleyball, women's soccer, women's basketball and men's lacrosse teams. Last year, the impossible dream happened - one of his favorite teams, the Phillies, won a championship. Now if only the Eagles could catch some of that magic, he might be able to actually find peace with sports.


Mug

Michael Oplinger is a junior majoring in media studies and political science and the Collegian's assistant sports copy desk chief. He previously covered the men's tennis and men's volleyball teams. Even though he enjoyed the Phillies' World Series victory, he misses the days of Jose Mesa and David Bell.


Mug

Eddie Gentile is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in history. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's tennis team, the Lady Icers and the Penn State baseball team. Gentile is your stereotypical Philly fan - he considers every game a loss until they actually win... and even then he'll probably still be moaning. Go birds.


Mug

David Rung is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in kinesiology. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's swimming team and the men's rugby team. Rung isn't as die hard about pro sports as his sports staff brethren from Philly and Pittsburgh, but he does take pride in being a Red Sox fan before the bandwagon started.
