Double reverse

No charges. Then yes charges. Then no charges. Finally, a decision in the Leodis McKelvin lawn vandalism case that has held the WNY media hostage for a week.

The DA….showing some actual common sense….says no charges will be filed against the two 16-year-old idiots who spray painted McKelvin’s front lawn after his fumble helped the Bills lose to the Patriots last Monday night. McKelvin has managed to reverse his field a few times in this one….but in the end, decided he didn’t want the kids prosecuted.

The teens will do community service (and I still think they should cut McKelvin’s lawn and shovel his driveway for the next year).

Now can we forget about this and concentrate on the games?

McKelvin & the morons

I just had to chime in on this lawn vandalism case….because based on the news coverage it’s getting, it’s apparently one of the biggest crime stories in Western New York since the bike path killer.

Leodis McKelvin….who is showing far more common sense now than he did when he returned the kick….says he doesn’t want the kids arrested. But the DA says he’s gonna make that decision.

Look, when McKelvin fumbled Monday night I was as angry as anyone….and you don’t want to know some of the things I called him. But then I settled down, because that’s what Bills fans do. We just know that somehow they’re going to find a way to rip our heart out of our chest and stomp on it. So when I heard about the vandalism, I got angry again….because this went over the line. But then I found out it was a pair of 16 year old boys. I know what you’re going to say…they’re old enough to know better. But let’s face it, 16 year old boys are constantly horny and constantly stupid (and the first may have something to do with the second).

If the victim doesn’t want to press charges, the DA should go along with that. It was a prank. Yes, it was really stupid….but again, we’re talking teenagers. Aren’t there more important things for the DA’s office to worry about?

Make the kids apologize, and make them mow McKelvin’s law and shovel his driveway for the next year. Oh, and one more thing….Leodis, please don’t do that again.

Un-coordinated

Okay, nothing like a little “why did they wait until now?” action from the Buffalo Bills.

Pre-season is over, the regular season begins in 10 days….so of course today they fired Offensive Coordinator Turk Schonert. Quarterbacks Coach Alex Van Pelt will call the plays.

Let’s face it….watching the Bills’ offense has been about as exciting as watching Byron Brown debate himself….but why now? And why stop with Schonert? (Are you a little nervous, Dick Jauron?)

We can only hope this makes the Bills better….or at least interesting. It would be a shame if their punter was their best offensive weapon.

Hey…speaking of Brian Moorman….his show starts next week on Time Warner Cable, and SkunkPost is the sponsor. Check it out…he can kick AND be funny!
