So let me get this straight, 28 years and NOBODY has ever picked on you for being Canadian? Are we talking about the same stadium? Middle of nowhere? Big blue buffalo with red racing stripes painted all over it? Miserable team on the field, 90s notwithstanding?

I spun 6 times and "God hates us" came up 3 of them... This is how you do me?

Bills would have a better shot at stopping the run that way...

That's all well and good, but if I'm not mistaken the Bills let the Saints' waterboy score on that last TD run...

I wish I could say something classy and inspirational, but that just wouldn't be our style. Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever.

I'm not sure I understand the perspective of the question. Is she asking in general, or is she asking what the Bills do, or is she asking what Belichick does? I'm not certain about the first two, but apparently Belichick promises to feed on the souls of players' innocent children if they don't cheat their way to a win.

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.
