My significant other is a Saints fan, too. She was born and raised in Metairie, LA. We've been living in NOLA for just over a year, now, and I've been debating whether or not to go to the local Bills Backers bar with her tomorrow. She sorta knows her football, but she's enough of an unabashed smack talker that she can even get on my nerves at times with it... While the Saints are certainly having a good season since those opening 2 losses, so the current optimism among their fans is warranted, anyone who thinks Bills fans are a bunch of non-objective, rose colored glasses wearing homers has never been to Who Dat Nation.

I'm confused... So are you suggesting that you could imagine getting romantic with a Pats* fan, as long as he served great gin and tonics?

Bert Weidner was from my hometown and was drafted by the Dolphins. He was an OL for them for 6 years in the early 90s. His younger brother was a few years ahead of me in school. I remember hearing that family changed their allegiance and were rooting for the ‘phins, and thinking to myself “Wouldn’t it be preferable to disown him?” If it was my brother I’d tell him I was rooting for him, and he’d assure me that he knew I was lying...

Dorothy Mantooth was your mother?

Regardless of venue, if the Chargers win a game but there’s no one there to witness it, does it count in the standings?

I think sidelining Sherman was actually a direct effect of the toxic waste absorbing through his skin and melting his Achilles.

Suck it up?

Assuming we’re looking at the same picture, curious choice using “Thurman sized” to describe a “light” snack.

I hear ya! I get a sort of "mental indigestion" feeling every time I see a picture of Nathan Peterman's head or Christ's body.

I'm gonna get the papers, get the papers... get the papers.

Comp picks are so September. What good will they do when TT won't even throw Kelvin Benjamin the ball?

32nd on the waiver list, 26th on the waver list.

Why no Clay (6-3) love? That's because if they don't say nice things he will crush puny human weaklings with smile on face.

Po-tay-to po-ta-to

Damn, man, the peer pressure... There's not much I refuse out of hand, especially when it comes to food. The difference is, I have rarely ever changed my taste for something that I'm very familiar with. If that coworker had never told me the cookies were anise, I'd have eaten one without question... I mean, it's a cookie... and I still would have hated it. In fact, that's probably how I figured out I hated the taste of anise, because horrible people everywhere sneak it into holiday pastries without warning. Minus the holiday part, I still think the analogy holds.

Denigrating? A bit hyperbolic, no? I thought the childlike "sneaky sneaky" would have given away that fact that my response was meant in fun, but I guess next time I'll have to add a few dozen smiley faces. My apologies to the OP if I offended, it wasn't the intent. To the point you're making above, if I was that concerned about what was said, I'd just read the article. I was merely commenting on the notion that anything in the media, especially something quoted, will only ever be found in one place. As to the "just read it, you'll enjoy it" bit, a coworker of mine once brought in anise Christmas cookies, which I politely declined because I don't like the flavor. He was very insistent despite my protestations, so I ate one. Despite telling him ahead of time that I already knew I wouldn't like the cookies, he was still offended when he asked if I liked them and I told him "No." But you're probably right, regardless of the countless times I've read Sullivan's columns and not liked them in the past, irrespective of content or tone, this time would probably be different...

Do you really think in this day and age that those quotes will stay hidden away in a free article for more than a second? They'll probably show up in about 10 other places in the next hour... if I cared to learn how to use twitter I could probably find them now.

Is this how we trick unsuspecting people into clicking Sullivan links, now? Sneaky sneaky. Almost got me.

A lifetime ago I used to tend bar at a country club. The chef and I were the definition of "frenemies" before the word existed. I pissed him off about something one day without realizing it. As retribution he sent out a plate of wings for me to eat under the guise that he had made some extra, and I looked busy, blah, blah, blah. He made excellent wings, so I wasn't about to turn them down. I ate the first one, and it had an odd sweet flavor to his seemingly otherwise standard hot sauce, but was pretty good, and I was starving, so I plowed through about 3 of them in a minute or less without thinking. The bar had a surge, so I put the plate down, walked up to the bar, and opened my mouth to take an order. As soon as the air hit my mouth for a few seconds, tears started streaming out of my eyes and my nose started running. Turns out he put a little sugar in them to hide the fact that he'd also put every hot thing he could find in the sauce, including about half a bottle of Dave's Insanity Sauce. That's when I realized every chef in the kitchen was peeking out the swinging door laughing. I think I tried every "remedy" you could think of that night to get my mouth to stop burning to no avail. It didn't help that I finished the plate of wings to prove a point... the point, in hindsight, being that I'm a masochistic idiot who didn't want to waste the wings.

Taylor’s looked like the Sabres Buffaslug.

Does anyone else think “And Tom Brady can eat a D” when they read the thread title?

Were they Olestra chips? Maybe it means the Saints are about to crap their pants. Wouldn’t it have been easier just to say Wes Welker’s ass instead of the convoluted way you worded it?

That was finger licking f$&/;!d in the head, right there. Is it me, or did his teammate pull his hand away when he tried to grab him with the slobber hand?

Damn, man, in addition to looking like the thing on Disturbed's The Sickness album cover, Brian Costello is Cold as Ice. This... THIS is the thing I have been most concerned about, some NY Post hack calling our beloved Bills overrated.
