It'll look even better once this bridge is done.

Not sure about that. McGrattan turtled up and shook his head just as Peters was winding up for another shot; Peters noticed it and pointed at McGrattan to tell the refs he was hurt. I'm betting orbital myself. The announcers said they saw him in the dressing room and he had a golf ball under his eye. Plus, you don't quit a fight over a busted nose. An orbital, that's a different story. Great great win. Huge confidence builder for Miller, Vanek and the entire team.

Most pictures are worth a thousand words. That one is worth ONE BILLION DOLLARS!

Yep, Baker scored the touchdown after that play and the Bills went into the locker room leading 12-10 without the momentum instead of 12-3 with it. Why do I do this to myself?

You can, however, individually set every member's post count to zero and then set all the forums to not increase the members' post counts. Put that on your list of things to do on a slow day. [Edit: Upon reflection, it might be easier -- relatively speaking, of course -- to reverse the steps I suggested...]

Bingo!

I was at a bar and some of us were wondering how to pronounce the guy's name. So I called him at home...

Nobody's correcting this? The Bills lost 52-17. 52 - 17 ___ 35 Had they lost 59-17, THAT would have been a 42-point loss. Jeesh I'm almost about to look up the score just to make sure. I was wasted that night, but I remember THAT.

In what mathematical discipline does 42 exceed 45?

I heard he changes his birthdate every year, though.

I come here when I need a break from the idiots. Hair of the dog, you know.

And who are the two people at work who said they never check at work?

Even you would have to admit that no team gets more calls than the Loafs at home, unless it's the Canadiens at home.

Sundin played last night, didn't he? Or do you think Lindros is better than Sundin? This ain't 1994.

I was there in 1992 and have heard it's quite a bit more westernized now, although still less expensive than, say, Vienna. And the reason you go there instead of Paris is because it costs a whole hell of a lot less... although I'd rather see Jim Morrison's grave than Kafka's. I really, really liked Prague. Gorgeous city. Liked it better than Budapest. Definitely try to see Krakow, though.

Amen. And I love how people who say Ralph is cheap then turn around and B word about the team raising the LOWEST ticket prices in the NFL by a few bucks. Not only that, but if Ralph was truly cheap the Bills would have been gone a good goddamn long time ago.

The first time I ever went there, I met the woman who would become my wife. The second time I went there, I proposed to her. The third time I went, we had our engagement photos taken. I kind of like that place.

The Oilers complained about McKee's hit last week and that one was as clean as a whistle. I don't have a problem with the big hipcheck, especially on the open ice -- far too few players use it these days -- but he had Connolly up against the boards already and could have delivered an equally big, higher hit with the shoulder. Of course, had he done that he probably would have thrown the elbow too. That said, it was great to see Drury go after that douchebag.

Been here 35 years, went once (fourth grade field trip). Oh I was there one other time for a reception but I didn't walk through the galleries. How long it takes you will be a function of how into art you are.

A Cliffs Notes of the Cliffs Notes: 1. Sully is an attention whore and Sherman would have fed that beast. 2. Marv would have been undercut by Sherman's GM experience. 3. Jauron will be okay if Marv delegates and Ralph doesn't meddle.

Well, I can make a hat...or a brooch...or a pterodactyl... What? Anyway, I agree with buftex. Even though Marv wasn't the coach here when Haz played, he knows that Haz and Freddy are the best of friends and he may have decided he didn't need the aggravation of Freddy possibly being Haz's mouthpiece every time something went wrong. Plus there was the whole Hull thing. Although Hull may not have shown it, I'm sure he was royally pissed at Haslett. Plus, the media would have used it to stir up stojan whenever things were slow. And Marv is loyal to his guys.

Shhhh, Kelly! Reason has no place on this board.

Just as long as we don't sign Fiedler, I'm fine with that.

Well, he did run the single wing. That was entertaining, at the very least. And although my reaction was partly "Marv Who?" it was a lot more of "thank GOD that buffoon Bullough's gone."
