When you give money to cancer research, it doesn't help one specific person, it helps thousands and thousands of people. Is it bad that she deceived these people? Yes. But does that cheapen the money and time volunteered by those people? No. There's a flip side to every story. What we read is an article about a woman who lied to her friends and neighbors, but if you read between the lines it's a story about a town that banded together to fight cancer. No matter what the cause is, that's never a bad thing.

Ok let me be clear about what I'm saying. Clearly, SHE didn't do this for good reasons, but did her actions actually do more harm than good? I don't think so. I mean, who (besides for hurt feelings) got hurt by this?

Well did she take the money raised for herself? Reading the article, it didn't seem like she profited in any way, but if that's the case then I'm wrong.

I think he's exaggerating about the money thing to get his point across, a point which I agree with particularly when it comes to hitting quarterbacks. QBs are football players just like everybody else on the field, but they aren't allowed to get hit like everybody else? Why is it encouraged for a special teams gunner to plant the punt returner into the ground, while a LB who blitzes and hits the QB solidly beneath the chin gets a fine and suspended? On a similar note, how many times has Ladainian Tomlinson facemasked the man he's stiff arming without being penalized? Why the double standard when it comes to big name players?

I hate to be the devil's advocate, but did she not raise awareness and a lot of money for breast cancer research? Does it really matter if she had cancer? She exposed the gracious and giving hearts of an entire town and probably gave hope to others around her who actually were inflicted. I'm not saying what she did isn't morally questionable. But it seems to me that the net effect of her actions was probably a positive rather than a negative, and I'd guess the same goes for her two previous towns.

I get what you're saying but don't automatically associate low income with "dirt bag". When someone gets the right amount of alcohol in his system, it doesn't matter if he makes 4-digits or 7-digits.

I don't think it's useful to say things like 100 yards from Marshawn will win us the game. 100 yards is a game landmark and a pretty good performance barometer, but it's more about where the yardage comes from. Does he get 5 yards on a couple 3rd and 5's or does he break a 40 yarder in garbage time?

Funny you should mention this, I've got a monkey and I'm looking to sell. Any offers?

No, you're wrong. Matt Ryan was taken 3rd overall and Trent Edwards was taken 92nd overall, so Ryan will be approximately 31 times the QB that Edwards will be. But seriously, they're both leading young teams to surprisingly good records, can't we call it a wash right now?

It's the Lions Sure, they're winless but God promised them a 10-6 season so they should win out and run the tables in the playoffs.

If she had actually gotten settlement money out of this case, I might've just lost faith in humanity entirely...

Well PF Chang's does have a little bit of canon to the show. It's where Towelie worked before writing A Million Little Fibers. But I agree, Chitty Wok would've been better.

Right on brother, it seems that in this country we don't like to let our children create their own opinions about the positives and negatives of being an American, we tend to force patriotism (though a better word is nationalism) down their throats. In grade school, kids learn all about Columbus but not the genocide he committed. They learn all about World War II but not internment camps. They learn all about Manifest Destiny and American expansion, but not the Trail of Tears. I know this Patriotic Eagle picture is innocent enough and all, but it also seems to me to have a subversive side. Show kids enough Pro-American symbology and propaganda and they'll buy into the whole "America is the best country in the world" ideaology without ever questioning it.

Is it just me, or has Cartman's voice gotten deeper and deeper as time's gone on? You never hear him say "but moooooommm" in that squealy voice anymore...i miss it The Indiana Jones subplot was hilarious, the PF Chang one sucked balls

This thread makes me hungry. In Buffalo, they turned Grover Cleveland's old hunting lodge into a restaurant, and they serve these absolutley incredible 1 pound cheeseburgers. Best I've ever had.

This is not a good representation of the 716's hottest girls. I could easily name 16 girls I graduated high school with that are much better looking. Dunno why we have the reputation for ugly women, maybe it's polls like this.

Yeah, I remember that play with Lynch. Adrian Wilson ripped off his helmet while making the tackle and then some other dude kicked Marshawn in the head while he was down (not 100% sure this was on purpose), and not a single personal foul was called. Combine that with the hit on Trent, and I think it's safe to say Wilson played a very dirty game. The refs should have used their flags more on these illegal hits and less on the ridiculous amount of offsides they called on both teams.

The Frank Reich comeback game. I was 4 years old so I don't remember the specifics too well, but I remember my dad going batshit crazy when we won.

I think it has boiled down to this. Schobel has been excellent against the rush and deficient against the pass. Anybody disagree? There are two facets to defense and for some reason people only pay attention to the pass rush when it comes to DE's. The opposite, i think, can be said for the way people look at DT's.

I completely agree, but I wouldn't stress out too much about it. There are going to be haters on this board whether we finish 4-12 or 15-1. The Bills could beat the Chargers 28-0 week 7 and people would be complaining about our offensive line or whatever else bothered them. Whining feeds this board unfortunately, so I try to not let it get to me.

Maybe the worst Family Guy episode ever? But I do think the Bird is the Word has the chance of being the new Rick Roll.

Jay Cutler is seasoned?

He's devoted to the city of Buffalo, said he wanted to clean up the streets, and he interacts with the fans at training camp perhaps more than any other player. And I'd be interested in your opinion on all these backup QB's that are so much better than JP. Let's look to the AFC east. Kellen Clemons? Cleo Lemon? Matt Gutierrez? Or would you rather see Kyle Boller in there? Maybe Jared Lorenzen? How about Charlie Frye? Who are these NFL backup QB's that are better than JP?

Holy sh*t, you're actually going to blame that fumble on JP? It was Melvin Fowler's fault, JP was being tackled before he could even hand the ball off to Marshawn. This is ridiculous. I guess we have our official scapegoat, and it's unfortunate because JP is a nice guy and, more importantly, an above average backup QB.

Ok wait, are you being sarcastic, or are you actually suggesting the Bills purposely allowed the Cardinals to drive down field all day? That makes literally zero sense and if you're being serious (which i sort of doubt) then you are an idiot.
