D AVIE, Fla. - The Miami Dolphins [ team stats ] claimed Steve Slaton because they knew he was once a playmaker in the NFL, but this regime hasn’t identified a role for the tailback the Houston Texans [ team stats ] dumped earlier this week.

The role of an NFL tight end continues to evolve, as increasingly complex offenses demand a more versatile athlete with equally adept blocking skills and pass-catching abilities.
There are few Kellen Winslows — gifted tight ends with remarkable hands and run-blocking skills. There are fewer John Mackeys — strong, fast tight ends who bore through defenders without flinching.
Travel and Leisure has ranked Niagara Falls as #5 when it comes to World's Most Visited Tourist Attractions. How far are we from Niagara Falls? Oh yeah, approximately 25 miles. It's not like this sort of rankling is something new - at least to Western New Yorkers, rather it is a periodic wake-up call... a Homer Simpson "D'oh!" moment that makes us try on our best marketing thinking caps (again). Up until now those thinking caps have looked more like dunce caps. Then again, as the Canadian side of The Falls has continually thrived, the American side has languished. Meaning that once a visitor ends up on the Canadian side of The Falls, a 1+ hour trip to Toronto probably looks a lot more appealing than a cross-border stopover to Buffalo.

Brussels: The European Commission today decided to refer Poland to the EU’s Court of Justice because it maintains obstacles to the registration of right-hand drive vehicles in Poland. National legislation requires that the steering wheel is placed on the left-hand side of the vehicle. That means that, in practice, new and used cars with right-hand drive cannot be registered. The Commission considers that these restrictions constitute a disproportionate barrier to the import of such vehicles from other EU Member States (e.g. by citizen returning to Poland after having worked in the United Kingdom). In September 2010 the Commission requested the Polish authorities to put an end to these restrictions (IP/10/1221), but they are still in place.
There are faster running backs in the NFL than Arian Foster. There are bigger backs, too.
There might be backs with better vision and superior cutting ability. There might even be smarter backs.
But there aren't many who have all these gifts, and maybe that's one of the reasons he led the NFL in rushing last season.

1. What kind of team should we expect to see this Sunday – Does the team feel disheartened after their loss to the Saints or emboldened that they were able to hang with a shootout QB like Drew Brees?
