- As smart as we think we are, we can barely remember the names of the people were introduced to yesterday. Dolphins have us beat, damn brilliant creatures.
- The energy-producing windmills that are supposed to be uber-environmentally-friendly have some bird lovers in a tizzy. Is anyone else eerily bothered by the Grackles?

- In response to the brutal, racially motivated attack on a Houston teen, a State Senator wants to set up a "Hate Crime Registry" similar to the registry for sex offenders.

The 270-pound Mack truck played both ways in the spring and might find himself in some situation roles at an equally stacked end position. Other news from that scouting report: We should look for WR Jordan Shipley, TE Jermichael Finley, and all three of our linebackers to make some big plays alongside all the returning talent. The big question, of course, is at quarterback.
