Well, I'm ready to condemn all religion, including Islam. All religious debate essentially boils down to "My imaginary friend is the only REAL imaginary friend." Yes, I suppose it gives comfort to some people and there are folks out there who have been motivated by their religion to do amazing things. On the other hand, it has caused A LOT more divisiveness than it has caused good. There are Muslim people who think all Christians and Jews should die. There are Christians who believe all Muslims and Jews should die. There are Jews who believe all Christians and Muslims should die. At it's core, it is nothing more than a vicious cycle of hatred. Religion, throughout history, has been the largest factor separating the cultures of the world from unity. How could you consider it a good thing. Here's what I believe; Anybody who considers themselves superior to another race because they believe in the correct "God" is a freaking idiot. Anybody who categorizes an entire group of people as animals (I'm looking at you BuffalOhio) is a hate-mongering asshat who wouldn't get into heaven. If it existed.

If you want to see the animal, look in the mirror. Read the Old Testament of the Bible. If you're not a hypocrite, you'll call Christians animals too.

We're all so glad that you decided to start another Lynch thread, and with such brilliant insight too. Simon says...

Anybody who equates the Nazi Party with the entire Muslim religion isn't worth debating with. You say "Muslim support" as if it's a bad thing. They're human beings. 99% of them are probably good, decent human beings, just like most people in the world. You treat the situation as if Muslims in general are some rogue barbarian people.

No problemo, amigo. I'll admit, even with the bum knee, I'm probably here more than I should be, being a student and all. I just loves my sports talk.

I tore my ACL, so I've been doing a lot more staring at a computer screen than I normally would. And I don't suppose my girlfriend would like it very much if I saw "plenty". I was just messing around, man.

Cuz you don't get to see enough vaginas in real life?

I think most people are missing the point here... Since when does anybody give a flying flip about what's printed in the Post?

More addictive than freakin crack.

A big old, fat old +1 from me. I completely turned my attention to the Sabres once the Superbowl ended. I honestly didn't even really think about the Bills until the Marshawn incident. I'm going to tune in for the draft, read draft analysis for a week, then tune back out. Once the pre-season starts, I'll be right back into Bills mode. No sense crying during the offseason, when there is an equally exciting Buffalo sport going on.

See how many of the famous firsts you can name, without looking them up. http://www.sporcle.com/games/famousfirsts.php I got 25 out of 40

You almost had me until you got to Lynch. Do you even watch the games? I almost guarantee you're the first person to ever refer to Lynch as a "yawner".

Bush made me touch him with a bad touch.

No, Jesus actually went to Stanford. He wore gloves.

Come on, the guy had 110 tackles in what was essentially his rookie season. Overrated? Perhaps. Absolute crap? No way. He was an average starting MLB for us, not a piece of crap. The term "bust" is thrown around too lightly here. It seems like a lot of people define "bust" as simply not being in the upper eschelon of starters at a given position.

Nope, can't slam you for this. I tend to be the eternal optimist type, but the organization simply hasn't given me a reason to have faith in the team. I'm not one of those people that will rant about how we're destined to never be a winner (teams can turn it around pretty quick), but things are certainly not looking up at the moment.

http://sports.espn.go.com/highschool/rise/...tory?id=3914375 Now there's a coach (and a player) that understands the meaning of sportsmanship.

Only because the OP introduced religion in the first place! He was clearly using the story as a vehicle to belittle the Muslim faith and stereotype its followers as barbarians. If the thread had been introduced as "Buffalo citizen beheads wife", nobody would have had a problem.

Wait, am I reading this right? He stopped to help you, but he wanted you to pay $20 for his time? Whatever happened to people helping people because it was the right thing to do? I don't know who this guy was, but I know he wasn't Tony Romo.

Very underrated movie...doesn't follow the mould of the traditional inspiration sports movie.

For anybody interested, here is the transcript of my piece... http://wvbr.com/sportsshot Sorry for the self-promotion but I was trying to pay homage to the folks who died. Edit: Sorry, I linked to something from the onion at first...apologies to any confusion from people who clicked the link.

I'll be speaking about the plane crash and the Sabres game that followed the next day on air around 6:03...here's the link for the radio station. Click the upper left corner for live stream. http://wvbr.com/

Kenny Powers, I think, is supposed to be a mixture of Rod Beck and John Rocker. Just watched the premiere, thought it was great, though it worries me that the protagonist is a completely unlikeable character. We'll see how it goes.

D'oh! I'm losin' my mind.
