  1. I'll bet if someone did an All-Underrated team, there would be a few Bills on it. Like Daimon Shelton, Jonas Jennings, Pat Williams, Aaron Schobel, London Fletcher, and Brian Moorman.
  2. Couldn't have done it without Dan's setup!
  3. Out there's more highlights waiting to be had You think we'll let 'em go, you're mad You got another thing comin'...
  4. Was his buddy Dicky Flatt with him?
  5. Now, now. That was no yardage marker Travis tripped over in Oakland. That was an invisible gnome.
  6. Greece Olympia's Scott Virkus, a defensive end on the really bad '80s Bills teams. Also played for the Pats and Colts. Hell of a damn softball player he was too. Played for the local big-time slo-pitch team here in Rochester and was a monster (check out the late 1980s): http://www.angelfire.com/sd/slopitch/leaders.html 680 home runs in 1987 alone.
  7. Without reading the article, I was always under the impression that he had the surgery to improve his chances of getting a HC job, and that saving his life was not a consideration. Prolonging his life, maybe, but not "saving" it.
  8. Didn't Kitna beat us once when he was with Seattle? Granted that was during the Greggo Error, but still.
  9. Basketball is the most beautiful game in the world when it is played correctly, and the ugliest when it is not. (This is why I generally hate the NBA.) There's no better feeling in sports than playing hoops with a bunch of guys who like to pass, set picks, move without the ball, and create the proper spacing on the floor. (Ever throw a backdoor pass, or receive one, in a pickup game? That's when you know you're playing with people who know the game.) And there are few worse feelings in sports than playing hoops with a bunch of guys who want to do everything themselves.
  10. You went to Penfield too? What year? I'm not sure I ever saw Dave sober. I think he and Mike had different mothers since Mike played his high school football at Sweet Home. Penfield sure could have used him.
  11. Nick in Rachacha's avatar is still better. It has a bellybutton.
  12. I could only do a few things well. I had a decent and accurate arm, a very good three-point shot, an uncannily tricky overhand serve in volleyball, and a good, flat, line-drive swing in baseball. The problem was that I was short (growing up), skinny (until I hit my thirties), weak, and slow. So I could never be the all-around athlete I wanted to be, but in the context of a team game I was able to use my intelligence and knowledge of the game to mask my weaknesses and amplify my strengths. It helped to have teammates who knew my strengths -- if I played pickup hoops with a group of strangers, I might not score a point. But when I played with people who knew me and could set screens and see me cutting backdoor, I was likely as not to be the leading scorer. I enjoy team sports much more than individual pursuits precisely because the team concept allows me to play to my strengths, whereas individual sports just expose my weaknesses. That's also why I enjoy golfing in a scramble format rather than head-to-head.
  13. Keith Moody, the great return man of the '70s and later Brockport State's head coach.
  14. belinda
  15. Before Milloy's, I think Travares Tillman was the last safety to intercept a pass for Buffalo.
  16. Hell, for a while we had more two-point safeties than interceptions by safeties.
  17. Forgot a zero there.
  18. That has got to be the worst game ever played.
  19. According to Southwest.com, you can't get to Buffalo from Providence.
  20. I'm assuming you want to go to the Steeler game on Jan 2 and fly out on Jan 1. Orbitz has a nonstop for $403 on USAirways. You can get a one-stopper for $152, though, through Dulles on United. So let's say $150 one-way, total travel time 4 hours gate to gate. Add in a couple more hours for travel to and from airport and built-in delays and you're looking at 6 or 6 1/2 hours. It takes seven hours to drive Boston-Buffalo, and that's with minimal stops. The good thing about driving is you can control when you leave and when you arrive and all that. The bad thing is it's got to be one of the most mind-numbing drives in the United States. (I do it several times a year.) Figure 12 bucks on tolls, around $40 for gas, and it costs $63 on Hertz to rent a Focus on New Year's Day. (Yeah you can get a cheaper rate elsewhere.) It's probably still cheaper to drive, but not by so much that it's a no-brainer.
  21. Also as Barry in Risky Business:
  22. I'm guessing this guy wasn't alive the last time the Bungles played in the Super Bowl.
  23. I didn't come to your sorry-ass site. Now do us all a favor and piss off. Sixth period should be starting right about now.
