What is "lying POC" mean?
Did you ever hear the Jason Cole-Salguero "high-five" story in Buffalo?
The two high-fived when a Denver win in Indy on a Sunday night in 2003 eliminated the Dolphins.
One of the other papers' writers dropped the dime on them to Wannstedt.
At one of the Dan Marino-as-GM debacle press conferences, Wayne Huizenga, breathing fire, rebuked the duo in public for the action.
Cole apologized on the airwaves and, I believe, called Huiizenga personally.
Salguero?
Well, he was circulating a spiel to anyone who would hear it that is accurately captured in this thread from another board from January 2004:

Armando,
I was disappointed to hear that you enjoyed the fact that the Dolphins were
knocked out of the playoffs the day of our Bills game when Indy lost to
Denver. It was in poor taste for you to be engaging in a "high five" with
Cole. You have a unigue position in your line of work. Many of us "Dolfans"
go to your place of employment as a source of our Dolphins news. While I
don't mind reading critical insights about the Dolphins, and have heard over
the years that you are a Raiders fan, if your attitude is that biased
(hoping the Dolphins lose), I think that crosses the line. Frankly, seeing
you behave this way makes me wonder why I or anyone else should bother to
read your point of view. I'm disappointed it was you involved in this
classless action.

Mike,
It is classless to accuse people of doing things without asking them about
it first. First, I am not a Raiders fan so already your information is
wrong. Also, I did not enjoy the Dolphins being knocked out of the playoffs.
Cole and I were in a bar and when Clinton Portis, who is a former UM player,
broke off a tackle-breaking run, I celebrated the run by high-fiving Cole. I
attended UM, root for UM, and more importantly, am friends with Portis.
That's what I was celebrating ... on my private time, no less. I hold no
bias for or against the Dolphins. None. But I resent people like you
accusing me of things without simply asking first.
Best,
Armando Salguero

Armando,
I appreciate the response. However, you should be aware that the weekend in question Portis did not play, and didnt break any runs. He was injured late in the game a week earlier and missed the Colts game (Same week we played Buffalo). Checking the NFL.com site you will see he had no stats that week. Thanks for your time.

Colts - Broncos Game Stat...No Portis carries

Mike,
"Perhaps I did not make myself clear. I root for him to do well and so I want his team to do well. I know he was injured because I talked to him on the cell that day. The run I refered to was by Anderson and obviously you believe I was talking about Portis. Sorry its so onvoluted but as you may understand, I'm answering these emails and doing a billion other things at the same time. Gotta go."
Be well,
Armando

That clear it up, Pancamo?
