  1. NEVER, EVER ,EVER!!!!! Boy band with guitars+stain on American music for 30 years+big ball of suck=Bon Jovi
  2. Hurling is one of the Gaelic games indigenous to Ireland. It has the same scoring system as Gaelic football. Both sports are played in New York City (http://www.gaanewyork.com/), Boston (http://www.bostongaa.com/), and other major metropolitan areas with large Irish populations. But the skill here is akin to people overseas playing our version of football.
  3. Add me to the voices calling b.s. on this. This is so absurdly laughable, the writer is probably giggling that he/she put one over on everybody.
  4. I missed the last five minutes of the show. Does anyone remember their predictions for the Bills' record?
  5. As we continue to follow events in Haiti, some fans might remember Yonel Jourdain, who was a back up running back for the Bills in 1994-95. He is of Haitian descent. He is on Facebook, and I inquired as to the status of his family. Today he responded with gratitude that I reached out to him, and that he heard from his parents a week later, but he is still waiting to hear from other family, as well as friends. Hopefully he will hear from them as well. Here is his Facebook page. www.facebook.com/people/Yonel-Jourdain/1659278703
  6. I am an infrequent poster, but I do enjoy browsing everyone's sane comments. I only came here today after seeing the reset of the ground rules. Tim, I very much enjoy your insight, and I am appreciative to the moderators of this board for providing a place for us to talk about our team, including those of us who are stuck in Giants country (Albany).
  7. The report also mentioned Cam Cameron. Just think, with one win, he would double his career total!
  8. Mort and Adam just said on NFL countdown that there was a "stealth" meeting between Cowher and the Bills. CBS had no comment and the Bills would not return text and phone messages. Also said that Fewell will be interviewed tomorrow. How much stock to put in this, who knows???
  9. There are at least four people I know fighting cancer right now. May Stafanie's courage live on in all of them, and us.
  10. Interesting topic, but purely based in fantasy. Despite his rantings today on his show, Limbaugh would have as much of a change of owning an NFL team as Jackson or Sharpton. Living in the Capital District all my life, I remember Sharpton's rise to fame on the back of Tawana Brawley. Him, Alton Maddox and C. Vernon Mason, left unchecked, would have set race relations back a couple of decades. As for the Limbaugh lovers claiming any kind of conspiracy against the GOP and right-wingers, a few notes: 1. If the NFL thought Limbaugh could make them more money and attract more fans to the game, he would be welcomed with open arms. The League clearly felt any gain in fans would be offset by negative publicity. Much the same as Sharpton and Jackson trying to get a team. 2. As noted elsewhere in this thread, many owners are politically in line with Limbaugh, but business is business. One NFL owner once referred to the league's owners as "30 capitalists acting like socialists." The money is first and foremost in any business, especially these days, when several of the league's teams are having trouble selling out games. 3. Roger Goodell is the son of Charles Goodell, a United States Senator from New York, who was a Republican. 4. Did I mention business is business? Michael Jordan once said Republicans buy shoes too when choosing not to campaign for Jesse Helms' opponent. For you conservatives and liberals who own businesses, unless you are extremely successful, you can't pick and choose your customers. People may complain that Limbaugh might not have said some of what was attributed to him, but there is perception, which, when used effectively to define someone, is an exceptional weapon. In this economy, even a business like the NFL needs fans it can get.
  11. I recall the 6-3 OT win by the "Counterfeit Bills" in 1987. A question for everyone: Would QB Brian McClure, RB Carl Bynum and K Todd Schlopy have performed better? Anyone remember the crowd roaring for the squirrel running down the field?
  12. I don't normally listen to WGR after losses, but I'll make an exception for today and tomorrow. I am truly disgusted. The second loss caused directly by a special teams blunder in five games. Who's in Mel Kiper's top 5?
