You guys make it seem like hoping for something to happen is actually going to make it happen. How about you root for the Bills and just let things fall the way they will because regardless of who you want to win that is how it is going to work. The Bills could win and still be drafting top 5 if some other lowly teams pull off some upsets too. Way too much energy is wasted arguing about this. When the season is over it is going to be a lot more important how we draft instead of where we draft.

From what I remember the Sex Pistols have actually done that already. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sex_pistols.gif

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke IMHO. I don't see how anyone could consider that place valid when someone like Madonna gets inducted while The Guess Who and Rush sit waiting.

It's a Festivus miracle!

I always thought CNY was well out of the black out area too, but then I moved out here about 6 years ago and learned the hard way that they are also blacked out. From what I understand sometime in the mid 90s the FCC determined that the Syracuse CBS affiliate can reach a tiny sliver of East Rochester that is within the blacked out zone. So by rule they can't broadcast it either. Then because so many other places around Syracuse use their CBS they end up getting boned too so places like Rome and Utica also are blacked out. Seems kind of silly that 200 miles away can still be blacked out but I'm not holding my breath waiting for anyone to reexamine these archaic NFL rules. If you go look at the 10/10 game, Jacksonville, on that map link people referred to above you get a good look at where the lines are for who sees it and who can't.

This is unfortunately not true. Syracuse stations do get blacked out as well. You have to be almost as far east as Albany, as far north as Watertown, or as far south as Binghampton to avoid the stupid black out.

Go Bears! Go Jacksonville! (If we want the chance to knock NY out of the play-offs that last week we actually need San Diego to lose because the Jets win a 3-way tie.)

Aside from the divisional games and assuming the formula stays the same for 2011: Home: Skins, Eagles, KC, Denver, (AFC South 4th place) Houston as it stands right now. Away: Cowboys, Giants, Oakland, San Diego, (AFC North 4th place) Cincy most likely.

I thought seasons 1-4 were excellent. Especially 4, Lithgow was incredible. However I thought this season was very mediocre. I agree with the previous posters about the stolen car thing. Seemed like another example of the poor writing this season as compared to others. It was too easy in a lot of episodes to poke holes in what was going on and Dexter was much too sloppy to keep buying luck is what is saving him again and again. Hopefully next season can raise the bar again.

For all of the people arguing on the "Take this more seriously" side, what would you suggest people do about this? Not attend NFL or college football games anymore, or just avoid any crowded place at all costs? Seems like there really is no answer that makes sense which is where I believe the "not living my life in fear" crowd is coming from. It is no secret that the world is a dangerous place. You have to evaluate personal risks every day in one way or another and hopefully come out on top more often than not. To me going to a Bills game or to the mall is still an acceptable risk, but I wouldn't judge anyone harshly who disagreed.

This is a good and legit charity. I have sent about 100-150$ worth of stuff the last 5 years. Spending a lot of time in a hospital as a kid is bad enough but I can't imagine how terrible it would be to have to spend the holidays there too. If a few gifts Christmas morning can help make this even a little bit better then the money is well worth it to me. Also it isn't just video games. The Amazon wish-list has DVDs and other things on it as well.

I lived somewhere for five years that didn't have Wegmans and was stuck with crappy Price Chopper. The first thing I did when moving back near one, literally the very first night in the new place, was shop at Wegmans. Honestly shopping had never made me happier. Only people who have experienced the awesomeness that is Wegmans can truly understand.

Well the way that the Dallas offense was able to move the ball on the Bills D pretty easily the entire game it probably wouldn't have made much difference anyway. Nice to dream though.

I doubled checked to make sure I wasn't misremembering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XXVII#Game_summary Looks like the drive Kelly went down in ended in a FG too so 14-10 in the 2nd quarter. Not saying Kelly would have won the game but I for one would have rather had him playing the rest of the game despite Reich's play-off magic a couple weeks before.

When Kelly got hurt in that game the score was only 14-7. Who knows what could have happened had he been able to play the entire game? One thing is for sure, we do know what happened when Reich played in a Superbowl and that should have silenced all the "should have started Reich" crowd.

Let's lose now so maybe we can win later? I can't begin to fathom how people can seriously support that idea. Winning and wanting to win are the only things that make sense to me. It doesn't matter where we draft as much as it matters HOW we draft and the HOW has been the problem the last 10 years not the where.

If the answer isn't 9 then why even bother watching any of the games?

Proposition 19 in California?

I noticed something while looking at the NFL line up this upcoming weekend that has me thinking the Bills game might not get televised in the Syracuse market this weekend. The game is on Fox at 1pm. The Giants are also on Fox this weekend at 4pm, however Fox does not have the double header this week so they will not be able to air both. In previous years living in CNY I have noticed that if both teams are on at the same time on Fox then the Giants game is always the one that wins out. This situation is a little different, but I am thinking the same is going to happen and that Fox will air the 4pm Giants game instead. Anyone have any insight on this? Then again if the game doesn't sell out, and that still counts as a local black-out despite being in Toronto, then I guess this is all moot anyway.

FX has some pretty solid shows. The Shield is excellent and the series ended so you won't be left hanging once you catch up like some of the currently running shows. Rescue Me is good too.

That would be terrible. They would lose out on the number one pick.

I'm guessing he meant these: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/buy/7/phones.aspx

The Clarence high school football team is ranked in the top five of the state right now and will likely compete for a state championship. I'm certain they could beat UB.

I don't really understand that either Yall. Seems like some criticism towards this article is warranted seeing I am having a hard time finding anything newsworthy about it at all. The Bills are bad and I don't think anyone in the country isn't aware of it, but for some reason it is breaking news to celebrate it with stupid hypothetical situations? Must be a slow day in the sports news world to waste time putting this piece together.

Makes sense to me. I was close enough to the stadium to be able to hear the crowd go crazy from my balcony the night Bonds broke McGuire's HR record and I definitely could feel the excitement surrounding that stadium every day when I passed it. It didn't affect me the same way as you though. Probably because I am one of those evil Yankees fans whose corruption is too deep into my soul to be swayed regardless of living in the exact same environment as you. I did spend a lot of time there though so I at least supported that team with my money. Couldn't get enough of those garlic fries.
