Buffalo Bills TE Kevin Everett. As of this blog, Everett is showing some
movement in both of his hands & is regaining strength in his leg
muscles. Very positive signs following serious spinal cord injury he
suffered in week one against the Broncos.....After the whole mess with
their head coach "cheating" against the Jets, the Patriots calmed all
the negative criticism down by beating the equally talented Chargers

Patriots are off to a flying 2-0 start.....Michigan Wolverines star RB

& head coach Isiah Thomas is underway. Sanders is suing the Knicks
organization for $10 million. Sanders testified in court that Thomas

position with the Knicks, which prompted her to quit. The Knicks are
claiming that Sanders was fired due to bad performance on the job. But
based on Sanders testimony on what went down between her & Isiah, its
not looking good for Thomas. Stay tuned & we'll see how this all plays
out...Currently retired SG Allan Houston is hoping to make a return to
the NBA this coming season after retiring as a NY Knick a couple of
