When the Washington Redskins emerged from the locker room at halftime of last Sunday’s game against Buffalo, they knew two things: The Bills would get the ball to start the third quarter, and the defense needed — badly needed — a stop.

That’s very rude,” quipped our fellow tourist Harriet Coorssen. Of course, here in Custer State Park’s backcountry, the animals don’t have to mind their manners. This is their turf — all 71,000 acres of it. Luckily, the Buffalo Safari Jeep Tour goes into the heart of that territory, showing you pronghorn, deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats and, of course, the star attraction — buffaloes. The wildlife reserve is home to roughly 1,300 of the shaggy beasts, one of the biggest publicly owned herds in the world.

Andy Dick is once again in trouble with the law. The former “NewsRadio” star was arrested Monday night on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly at a Marie Callender’s restaurant in Riverside County, Calif.
