Metal Man

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I think they call them flag girls for some reason though.... as if that makes a difference in their actual job duties.

Still seems kind of useless to me. I can't see myself getting excited about a Bills game that has been over for hours. Maybe it is just me, but this doesn't seem like much of a compromise by the NFL at all.

Or if you want hot ones..... Sundowner. Hard to argue against them being kind of useless, I was more just wondering if maybe someone knew about some kind of policy or rule that these teams have that prohibits cheerleaders for some reason.

Ha, well I'm not blaming the FO for the Jills, and I did say semi-attractive and not ugly. I guess the idea is that extremely hot women in WNY are probably less common than in somewhere like Miami or So Cal. But that is a debate for a different thread.

I noticed last night that there did not appear to be any cheerleaders for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I knew that the Jets and Giants did not have them and I guess I always thought that was just some dumb Jersey thing. However after not seeing any shots of scantily clad women trying to rouse up Steeler fans during last night's broadcast I did a little digging this morning. According to the internet there are seven NFL teams who do not have a cheerleading squad. Jets Giants Browns Bears Packers Lions Steelers Anyone have any idea why this would be for any or all of these teams? Not that the Jills are anything special, but I would rather have semi-attractive cheerleaders than no cheerleaders at all.

You forgot one thing. Score more points than they do.

Usually, and especially the last 9 years with the cheating Boston team, there is someone in there for me to strongly root against. That is almost as good as having the Bills in.

Exactly, or more like HOPING TO is going to start a controversy. Him just being a normal player and answering questions like they all do isn't a story, so even a glimpse of his antics makes most reporters run with it full speed.

Unfortunately, no matter what TO says or what he really meant, anything that comes out of his mouth is going to be spun and used by ESPN and the rest to make it look like he is being his bad old self if they can get away with it. This shouldn't surprise anyone because it is part of the cost of bringing him in. It is just something we will have to deal with all season.

Awesome post!

Titans v Bears

That's weird. I thought for sure I read he was going to be taking his old Super Hero job back with the Justice League of America.

New year brings new hope Yet our play still seems the same Seven wins again.

I read on the message boards a couple days ago that they would be showing a replay on Saturday on a Syracuse area station. I doubt it will be on live tonight though as the black outs carry to Syracuse during the regular season. I get my channels out of Syracuse too, so I hope I am wrong.

I am curious as to why you would post a thread about going to Boston when you didn't want anyone to comment about things to do there.... Was this a social experiment to see how many people would blindly ignore your statement about not giving advice? Well add me to the ignore list and take my advice to pi55 on Fenway if you get the chance.

We use Drupal at my current job and used it at my last job for documenting and sharing info between engineers. http://drupal.org/ It isn't too difficult to set up and very easy to manage and use once you get going. You just need a database box to store the information and a host box. We are using Apache for our server.

No serious injuries. TO hasn't mouthed off yet. Maybin finally signed and looks like he could help. And haven't lost a game that counts yet.

I was just thinking the exact same thing. They have an entire area in the Islands of Adventure theme park dedicated to Marvel. I would imagine once this goes through that would be likely to change seeing Universal is Disney World's only real competitor as far as major theme parks go.

Great post.... but there is nothing really new there. Both lines have been a big problem for a long time now. That is the most frustrating part about it all for me, after a certain amount of time you would think we would at least be heading in the right direction, but instead every year we seem to be starting over. :thumbsup:

I'm surprised both of the two season predictions listed on here have the Bills losing the opener to Tampa. I am not overflowing with confidence after the performance in the preseason so far, but I would think they are going to be good enough to beat a team undergoing a complete overhaul in a rebuilding year. Especially playing in the Ralph for the home opener. That being said, if they do somehow end up losing that game it definitely will be a precursor to a long season and to keep on topic DJ should be gone shortly there after. Unfortunately I agree with the people on here who think we will likely have him all season no matter how many games they lose.

This place is a little pricey, but I enjoyed it when I was there a couple years ago. http://www.thefifthgrill.com/

Ha, yeah it definitely isn't the genre I lean towards. I was in a book club a few years back and it was someone's pick one month so if not for that I probably never would have gone near it. Book club probably isn't the normal place for a Metal person either, but FYI for all the single guys on this board... it was almost all women.

I work as an engineer for a company that does government contracts and we have all sorts of types here, management or not. Maybe the business world is still super strict but everywhere I have been in my 10 year career hasn't had much of an appearance code if any at all aside from the obvious.

Not sure how the movie will translate.... But it actually was a really good book. Not an overly sappy chick book at all. Definitely had a romance story line but the time travel aspect made it very unique and the story is very well conceived and constructed. Likely the movie will not be great, but I recommend the book to anyone who likes to read.
