It'll still beat baseball in the ratings...

That's Alvin Garrett who Howard Cosell was talking about when he said that during a Redskins Monday Night Football game (at least that's what I remember). I remember wincing when I heard him say that. I usually liked Howard, though - he seemed to enjoy saying controversial things. There's nobody like that these days. Too bad.

Didn't he play linebacker for the Titans?

Now that this is done, who is staking out the airport and local high end restaurants?

Somehow, some way, I have a feeling the Jets will have something to play for that last week. Sanchez will have a typical Sanchez-like day, but Tebow will save the day for the Jets and they will go on to make the playoffs. It figures...

I sure would like to see this lease situation settled sooner rather than later. The silence is deafening...

I like Hamilton's comments - especially his post-game analysis on WGR's website

I'm a glutton for punishment. Sure, maybe I'm not as excited about the games three days in advance anymore. Now it's like 3 minutes in advance. But still, when the game begins, I watch and start thinking of ways we could pull off the upset. Crazy, I know.

Ed Hochuli is running for Congress? Who knew?

48. I became a fan when my Economics teacher in 1985 would make fun of the Bills every Monday after another loss. I grew to hate Economics and love the Bills. I am still an eternal optimist, although for some reason last Sunday's loss really hit me hard. I felt like Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part III. Just when I thought they were finally going to be competitive, they rip it away from me...

We're in 3rd place in the division - not fourth. OK - tied for 3rd. That's positive, isn't it?

That crew was better than the "regular" crew that officiated the Bills-Bengals game last year. Remember the phantom dropped pass on the Bills' potential game-winning drive?

I love how your auto-signature dreams about the world living as one, but just above it you wish cancer on the Jets

Are you sure it's not Evan Longoria? He's closer in age to Sanchez

OK - back for another season. Here goes: Underdogs again This time the Bills have a shot I say they win big

Wawrow - I'm sorry you have to share the same initials as Joe W. As for olives - the big fat green olives in a Bombay Sapphire martini are the only ones I like...

Isn't he a former vice president?

Hey - I LIKE Hannah! Regarding Nigel, he reminds me of a young Mike Tyson - back when Tyson was knocking out opponents in the first round. His voice is lower, though...

Oh, we're doing Haiku already? Here goes: Merriman is back Lots of sacks, with Williams, too Are twelve wins OK?

John Wayne's real first name was Marion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne

On the other hand, I think as a former athlete, Jim Cooley has great potential as a product endorser...

The more I read about the WR's available in free agency, the less I'm worried about losing Stevie Johnson. I'd love to have him stay, but if I'm making the decisions for the Bills, I wouldn't want to be held hostage by this one. Demetrius Bell, though - even though I think he's only average, I would find a way to keep him.

Doosh?

Ralph Wilson reminds me of an old boss of mine. Ralph is direct and to the point. But his point is usually a good one. I agree that it will take time to build this into a contender. Ralph said earlier in the year that he was "shocked" at the success of the Bills. At the time I thought he was being too negative. I was wrong - he was right. The only disagreement I have is when he said it would take several years to rebuild the franchise. 2012 is the third year in this experiment. We should start to see some improvement by then. If Cincinnati can do it, so can Buffalo.
