  1. I was one of the booing masses. It was an awful pass and I wasn't booing Fitz as a person. I was booing out of utter frustration. We just watched a game where Fitz handed the Jets a victory and it looked like he was about to do the same exact thing for the Chiefs. If I could have walked over to the sideline and given an impassioned speech about how much I love the Buffalo Bills I would have. I would have told Ryan "You're better than that. You have it within you to be great. You can't miss open first down passes because keeping drives alive is what wins game...now shake it off and be great." However that wasn't an option and I was pretty drunk, so I booed. I do have to admit that I felt kinda bad as I watched Fitz walking to the sideline, shoulders slumped and dejected. He looked like a kid who just asked a girl to prom and she laughed at him.
  2. You must be close to dying. I am not. I want the Bills to stay.
  3. I've said it before and I'll say it again...Sirius/XM - they have NFL radio (pure aural awesomeness), Fox Sports, ESPN, ESPN News, all the NFL games, and a bunch of other sports related programming. I just had this thought yesterday. Some TSW posters really know how to develop topics that create discussion.
  4. "I actually chased the postman down the road. I'm a giant cliche." So good.
  5. Get Satellite radio. In a typical week I listen to NFL radio (it's as awesome as it sounds and there's plenty of Bills talk), Fantasy Football radio (yup an entire station), Stern, ESPN radio, Fox sports radio...I rarely listen to the college radio station that is WGR. I still tune in to hear John Murphy if I'm around a radio in the evening, but my life has been free of Jeremy White and his moronic statements for over a year. Plus, and I cannot stress this enough, satellite doesn't have Riverfront Auto commercials. I was so sick of that guy who plays Mama Peccoraro wheezing into the microphone like it was his last breath.
  6. I heard he's detained at the border. I just typed it so it must be true!
  7. I know it's been brought up before in this thread, but for those new and looking for something to watch on Netflix, Sherlock is excellent. I stumbled on it last weekend and watch all three 90 minute episodes in one sitting. I just bought season 2 and am blocking off all of Sunday night to watch it.
  8. Submarine is fairly good. It's a dialogue driven coming-of-age movie set in Wales and feels a bit like a Wes Anderson flick. If you pay attention there are some great lines. Unfortunately, my attention span has been fractured by technology and I found myself constantly rewinding. There were several excellent performances including the lead character/narrator and his father who was played by that British guy from that movie with Tom Cruise.
  9. While I'm sure I should be taking this article with a grain of salt, the idea is ridiculous. I build and execute marketing plans for a living. It would be insane to throw away the brand equity we receive by having the name Buffalo attached to successful businesses, printed on menus across the nation and connected to a product that people love. When a restaurant or manufacturer decides to use the name Buffalo, instead of say “hot”, they are reinforcing the connection between the product and the city. When they reinforce that connection it makes it harder for the next business to market a similar product without using the term Buffalo. Someday, after we are all long dead, that connection might be so strong that we could create a council and only approve products that meet a high standard of quality and that pay for a seal of approval on their products/menus. A similar model, that could be tweaked to fit our purposes, is used by regions that produce internationally recognize food products like Prosciutto Di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano and wines. However, currently, any business would quickly stop using the term Buffalo if we demanded a royalty. Your plan is to build the Buffalo brand and get publicity. The first step in your plan would destroy a large part of our brand, get about five minutes of publicity (if that) and eradicate millions of dollars in free media exposure we already receive.
  10. My link Finally, all the hottest teachers with low self-esteem aggregated in one place.
  11. In my mind there shouldn't even be a discussion. Vincent "Bo" Jackson is the greatest pure athlete ever. Everything about him was elite. He had sprinter speed combined with explosive power. He hit 450 ft home runs. On more than one occasion he stole a base, ON A PICKOFF ATTEMPT. He ran up walls. He had two 90+ yard touchdown runs. He made linebackers look like speed bumps while averaging 5.4 yds/carry. His arm was legendary. Plus, the Tecmo Superbowl version of Bo is, unarguably, the greatest video game athlete ever. For those of you too young to have seen the greatest American athlete... My link
  12. What a dummy. He could have easily walked around back to the kitchen, sold some weed to anyone working there and then legally paid for his meal.
  13. I've long advocated a sarcasm font, but you're probably right. After all, you're the smartest guy on The Stadium Wall؟
  14. I was scrolling through a slideshow on Bleacher Report checking out what they called the 50 hottest Cheerleader twit pics of the week. I was moving along quite nicely when I hit a brick wall and my manhood went back inside me. That's right, they featured a couple of Jills. I came here because I have to laugh when I hear several of you defend our cheerleaders. Defend this... Picture #41. You'll Wish This Was Peter Pan Thankfully there's some decent scenery on the way to the massacre.
  15. Anyone else wonder if the drugs used to treat the various issues associated with football contribute to what seems to be an escalating suicide rate? It's not like concussions are new.
  16. I generally agree with you, but I feel as though most people are wise enough to speculate here. One giant sign of being depressed is using a shotgun to put a hole in your chest. Does one end their existence if they aren't depressed? Maybe you're referring to a clinical definition and diagnosis of depression? In that case maybe you're right, but it seems like semantics to me. Edit - to your point about having a terminal disease and ending it all...that still seems like depression to me. But, maybe my definition is too broad.
  17. This thread should be titled Women You Find Attractive, But No One Else Does.
  18. I saw the thread title and immediately thought "Take 5." There's not even a close second. The Take 5 is like Jordan or Tiger in their prime.
  19. The kid was holding candy not a weapon. That seems like a pretty relevant fact.
  20. This. Get over it. I thought the George W. Bush hatred was annoying. It turns out that no matter who's in office someone is going to annoy me with their barely informed opinions.
  21. There was. The kaiser stole it. Now they just use diggity.
