Actually, we would be tied for 3rd...Jets won yesterday.

I think you'll get that cupping with any pepperoni that employs a natural casing, and pepperoni with an artificial casing will remain flat. Unfortunately, most places seem to use pepperoni with artificial. I could go for some Picasso's with pepperoni right now.

That's the great thing about attending less popular sporting events...the players are very engaging and you rarely find the prototypical narcissistic athlete. As cool as it is to watch the best in the world compete, it's always very refreshing when you go to something like an LPGA event, or a minor league baseball game, or a D-league basketball game, etc.

I was in the 7th grade back then. I remember that it was my lunch period when I first heard about it. All the students and most of the teachers seemed to be operating under the assumption that the whole thing was a tragic accident. Soon enough, it was pretty evident that the country was under attack and a lot of parents came to pick up the kids. I stayed at school for the day because my Mom couldn't get out of work, and I remember my English teacher was just at a loss for words to explain what had happened. When I finally got home, I just sat down and watched CNN with my parents and sister all day. I think I was in shock for the most part, but it all settled in when I went to bed. I remember I ended up crying myself to sleep. It was definitely something of a loss of innocence for me. Just something I'll never forget.

You weren't predicting, you said they had it wrapped up. There's a difference. I wouldn't have even responded if you said "I think ____ and _____ and _____ will make the playoffs"

How am I supposed to know? The season hasn't even begun, except for Pitt and Tennessee. To say anybody has it "wrapped up" is distinctly fallacious, and you can't deny that. Who had the Dolphins winning the AFC East last season? Who had the Cardinals one defensive stop away from being Superbowl champions? There billions of different permutations on what can happen...maybe Brady goes down week 1 again and the Pats* absolutely suck. I don't know who's going to make the playoffs, and neither do you. That's why they play the games, brother.

False.

While I appreciate the sentiment, it's unrealistic to expect an announcer's biases to not bleed through in the heat of the moment. By the way it's Collinsworth.

So I can cross off "Make eball spit out his coffee" from my To-Do list? Seriously though, an announcer's job is to excite the viewing audience and nobody does that better than him. I'm always disappointed when there's a close NCAA tourney game and Gus isn't on duty.

Collinsworth is good. Gus Johnson is the best in the business.

False. If you pay attention, major upsets happen on a daily basis in the world of sports. You're probably one of these guys that tries to judge a player by the preseason of his rookie year right?

False. The impending doom of facing the Pats* seems to be giving many people an aneurysm around here.

How many is a brazillion again?

I'm like a shark smelling blood in the water at this point. I'd probably still watch the game if it was Browns vs Raiders or something.

Well yeah, but it isn't out of the question that the Patriots* will have the worst record either. Nary a regular season down has been played this season, so anything can happen. It's worthless to give any credence to preseason predictions. Sportswriters just do them because they can't think of anything original.

??????

But if we were in the same position as the Chargers, we'd all be trying to tear Schottenheimer's throat out for never getting us to the promised land. It's all about perspective.

Then riddle me this...why was Huard just released by one of the very few teams whose QB situation is even sketchier than ours?

Wow, are you serious? He should have torn up the contract? So if the Bills approached you today and wanted to offer you millions stacked on millions of dollars to become the head coach, you would say "Nah, I probably wouldn't do a very good job. Here's your money back."

What basis do you have to say we have the worst pair of starting tackles in the league? We haven't even seen Butler play the position in a regular season game...for all you know, he's the best right tackle in the NFL. He COULD be the worst, but you can't accurately predict that sort of thing without evidence.

Lemme get this straight...you're going to be respectful when Bush and Cheney die. But IMMEDIATELY after you make that statement, you say that you want them to die soon. Way to prove you aren't partisan.

I know VH1 plays the top 20 music videos in the morning...as for MTV, I'm pretty sure they are "Music Television" in name only.

RIP Ted. His legacy will be marred forever by his youth (and rightfully so)...but he was also one of the few legislators on Capitol Hill with the ambition and ability to get sh*t done. We have Ted to thank for the improvement of the Voting Rights Act, funding of AIDS research, and Title IX among many other things. Politics and personal issues aside, this was a man who served his country.

As long as you realize this doesn't make any sense. Did Whitner hypnotize the FO into picking him over Ngata. Why would you hate the man for being a reach?

What about their nuts?
