  1. I think fixing goes on in every sport. This a Wikipedia article on Bavetta that I found interesting Controversies [edit]Altercations with Earl Strom According to Darryl Dawkins's autobiography, Bavetta was officiating an NBA game during the mid-1970s between the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets with Earl Strom as his partner for that game.[14] Bavetta overruled Strom on a crucial last-second personal foul call against the Nets, which would have been a victory for the 76ers.[14] When the game ended and players were walking to their respective locker rooms, the door to the referees' locker room flew open and Bavetta came staggering out.[14] His uniform was allegedly ripped and he was wearing a big welt over his eye, running to get away from Strom.[14] Strom stepped out into the hallway and hollered after Bavetta, "You'll take another one of my !@#$ing calls again, right, you mother!@#$er?"[14] Strom was later fined for the incident.[15] Bavetta had another altercation with Strom when he choked him during halftime of an NBA game in 1989 for allegedly siding with the home crowd. Strom reportedly apologized two weeks later.[3] [edit]Allegation of game fixing Bavetta was one of three referees for the Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals between Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Lakers. Former referee Tim Donaghy has alleged that at least one of the referees working this game had subjective motives for wanting the Lakers to defeat the Kings, and made officiating calls to effectuate this outcome.[16][17] The NBA has not permitted Bavetta to speak publicly regarding the incident, though The New York Times reported on June 12, 2008 that the FBI is investigating allegations that Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference finals had been manipulated to further the series to a seventh game.[18]
  2. Cool sight. It is interesting Peyton has only been sacked twice this year
  3. My place is haunted. Stuff constantly falls off the top of my fridge, or off the top of shelves. How does a stationary object fall of the top of the fridge? Earlier this year I walked into my bathroom in the middle of the night and noticed the conch shell on top of my toilet was on the edge- so I centered it. I walked out and then went back in for some saline and the shell moved over to the edge again- and again I centered it. Then I walked out and BAM- the shell hit the ground hard! This girl was sleeping in my bed and I was screaming "did you hear that?!" I woke her up and she thought I was nuts. She finally understands what happened. I also saw a UFO off Plum Island while fishing late night. I was with two buddies and we saw a string of super bright multi colored lights hovering in formation. Some would shoot up and down very fast. It was mesmerizing. There were two other boats out there- and they both pulled up to us after and said "what the hell was that?". One boat said he heard a humming noise and they thought they were going up
  4. Sanchez must be real health nut
  5. Gruden. He is an offensive coach who works with QB's. I think he could do wonders for our offense
  6. Bills have been covering this year and making me money. I took them against New England, against the Jets, against Carolina and against Tampa- all winners. The only time I bet Buffalo and lost was the Cleveland game. I can't figure out what is wrong with the Texans and thought they would be much better. But if Andre Johnson is out, I like us as home dogs.
  7. That is frustrating, but shows that we are competitive. We also hung pretty tough with New Orleans. This team has been decimated by injuries. We still got a shot and it has been fun, although boring at times
  8. Lee is a mother!@#$ing stud who has played in nothing but inept offenses. Can you imagine the numbers he would put up if he played for the Colts? He is the most underutilized player in the NFL
  9. For the love of God can we ever put away a game? Nothing is easy on this team
  10. fitzpatrick 4-13 34 yards. Very Jemarcus Russell like numbers
  11. us Bills fans are sick. What the hell is wrong with us?
  12. She used to be so beautiful! Her curves were gorgeous. It is so sad
  13. no kidding. You would think most of this board pulls nothing but 10's and hot ass by the way they post. Internet bravado. How courageous to make anonymous fun of a 55 year old suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Big men!
  14. It is the Buffalo way. We use high round draft picks on reaches, then let them walk with nothing in return
  15. DT or LT! Either McCoy or Suh, or Okung!!!!!!
  16. thanks. I would love to hear Einstein discuss quantum physics with deGrasse-Tyson. Many of Einstein's theories are just being proven now. That would be great to hear Einstein find out how they were proven and where we are at with quantum mechanics and space exploration. I would love to hear deGrasse-Tyson get Einstein caught up. And I bet Albert would propose new theories from what we have discovered the past 50 years. Can you imagine Einstein's thoughts on string theory? Parallel universes? CERN? you have a good list too. I would love to have dinner with Ken Burns. His films are excellent
  17. that is great! "He has contain" LOL
  18. Hey Mr Kettle-Lord should be capitalized. http://www.libraryonline.com/default.asp?pID=48
  19. Dude should be banned for a year. There is no room for that chicken **** in the NFL! Dirty scumbag of a play
