SDS

Ok, this season is will be a little different. In past years we have used SuperBrawl for our pool management, but this season we are going a different direction. BetABuddy.com has been supporting our website for the past year and for that we are very grateful. In times of tight advertising budgets, it would be hard to justify supporting an outlet that doesn't utilize your own service. Steve, one of the head guys over there, is a big Bills fan (most of their advertising features Buffalo players). So, in the interest of helping those who help us - we will try and use their system this year. They are constantly developing their platform, so features missing this season my be added in the future. With that said - here is the signup information!

Nice manners.

and my socks are selling elsewhere for $499.99... a much better deal than yours. BTW, Lee Evans own mother wouldn't pay $90 for that card if Lee gave her the money himself.

BFD. I bought a pair of white athletic socks for $1.99 at Target and I have it selling in eBay for $499.99... *I* RULE!

check similar thread.

Actually, that isn't active yet. Look for an announcement this weekend.

HE is the one responsible for Dick Jauron. Marv was so in touch with the league that he could only go as far as the fired coach that stood 30 yards from him. Good call Marv. Nice HC search there.

The reason why this is particularly disappointing is that even though we had no love for Turk, there was room for us to be wrong. That maybe people on the inside know more about the situation than us on the outside. Therefore you can sometimes accept that an organization goes forth with purpose and determination that is contrary to the wishes of the fans. They are the professionals. But when you do this 10 days before the season, you can see for a fact that the rodeo clowns are out in full force and there is no deeper understanding of this organization from within OBD than there is from mom's basement in Indiana.

Cancer or not - at least he'll keep me laughing this season.

every 7-9 team can say that though...

Does it make you angry that other people in this world chose to be "optimists" when it comes to their entertainment?

The problem with the "Ralph is cheap" line of thinking is that you can point to several big spenders across the league and see similar results. So, if spending more money doesn't automatically equate to better results, then it is reasonable not to go down that road. I think the problem is that he, just like countless other owners, haven't historically chosen the best people to run the team.

Hammer has been very good to us over the years. While some may have their own deal - I encourage the TBD community to give back to the people who have been good to us... With that said, I just sent messages to the people I know who are going about your deal Hammer.

my take on it is that was last year's deal and this year they are looking to improve it. Maybe the website hasn't been updated yet? Or maybe they don't want to put it in writing, or else someone will complain that 1:05 minutes after the game they want a full refund.

Most cable, Dish, and FIOS customers will be getting the Red Zone channel this year too...

The standard is offensive to a "reasonable person"... Sorry!

there's probably a five hole joke in their somewhere...

haha, no clothes line... My dryer is broken and FedEx delivered the part to the wrong house. Anyway, sometimes I dry my hockey jerseys out on the deck and I put my shower towel out their too (I play in a men's league). Damn, I'm WAY to soft to be drying with that piece of 100 grit.

it's like a sheet of cardboard?

not yet. whenever I bite the bullet and upgrade (a 10 hour process minimum) then we'll have something similar to SS.

it could possibly be done for certain sites with a bit of coding. Of course it becomes a PIA when they change their URL structure, but maybe that's the price of doing business.

to be honest, that will probably never come in the way you want it. RSS feeds are a way to syndicate your content. Well, if we just give everyone a way to bypass our site to go straight to someone else's - what's the purpose? Someone could make their own "TBD" and and never do anything, but setup an RSS feed parser.
