I disagree completely with this sentiment. I think he is wrong. Yes Buffalo is a small market but geographically they have a nice advantage of being the only team around. All the way to Utica the closest team is the Buffalo Bills. With a competitive product people would have no issue traveling to the games. With the product that has been put out the last decade plus it isn't worth people's time. With a competitive product young kids who would be the future fans wouldn't become pats*, giants, or jets fans. With a competitive product small areas such as Pittsburgh and Green Bay have thrived. I don't want the crap about the early 90's teams not selling out either - football was not near the giant that it is today. Popularity is at an all time high for this league and the Bills regularly sell out without a competitive team. There is a theme - have a winner or even a competitive team that makes the playoffs once in a while, and there is no need to farm out games. Push the crap that they have? While I guess this is what needs to be done.

BGE - only because I hate Ryan Matthews. Never produces when he should. He may be the better play but I don't think he can ever be counted on reliably. Also there is the cahnce that Philly is out of it early and Bengals run down the clock. Manning - so consistent. Ryan is up and down and yes the Giants secondary is banged up but I just think Manning is a player that you don't consider sitting. I've been playing him over Stafford all year. Dolphins - remember what the Bills did to the Jags? Phins have a stout run defense and although their pass d isn't great the pass rush still does have Wake. Just my .02 good luck!

What an episode last night! So many questions now! What was the monsignor thinking baptizing "santa?" He makes a few minutes of pennance and 18 murders are forgotten? The monsignor got what he deserved but I don't think he will die. Interesting that there are only 4 episodes left. It seems as if there is a lot to tie up in the next few episodes. I hate having to wait until January 2nd for it!

Man how did I forget this one! I'll add to it: with my loves

You'd be a lot cooler if you did Mine is simple and to the point.

How funny. Remember when a gold or platinum album was a big deal? Now in the age of musical piracy it is difficult to tell how successful a band is. Do downloads count in record #'s? Should they? Nevermind is an amzing album that i'll still listen to... I just skip smells like teen spirit Although it isn't their typical sound Unplugged is my favorite album by them. After that album I fell in love with acoustic music. Kiss also did very well with their unplugged album (favorite version of Beth on that one)

Bringing it to the masses was all I meant by what I said. I apologize for the confusion. Grunge was huge in the Seattle are but not really anywhere else until Smells Like Teen Spirit exploded it onto the scene. Responsible for their success may have been a better phrasing but also still not quite correct. All Apologies

Thanks. What you said makes perfect sense NoSaint. If Reed goes into the Hall I may try to make it for the induction. If not I'll have a much more open calendar of when to go. I've been jealous of my sister who is a huge baseball fan. It is a very easy trip to Cooperstown and she loves the Braves so she has made a few trips as the 90s players go in. Smoltz, Glaine, Maddux, and Cox are all upcoming as well.

Yeah although I did love when he took the penalty against Florida a few years ago. Thought it was a very inspiring move.

14 year old me wants to fight you. I can understand it not being everyone's cup of tea but I also don't think that they are overrated. They were a good band that launched an entire genre (grunge) that was responsible for a lot of big bands from the 90s (Pearl Jam, soundgarden, alice in chains, etc..). They don't really make many lists of best band of all time. Smells like Teen Spirit is the anthem for many late 20/early 30 guys but again I don't see an overabundance of Nirvana love. Might be there and I miss it bc I love the band but I would say Rush is way more over rated than they are

You shut your mouth!

has anyone been to rnr hof? I was thinking about a trip to hit up this and the nfl hof (never been there either). Is it a waste of time?

She's going to drug McCartney, kill him, claim suicide, get undue fame from it, and continue the cycle.... duh!

I think yes. Going to the NFL is seen (whether right or wrong) as a promotion. Going back to the college ranks? Seems like a demotion. I actually give Saban a pass on that though bc Bama is not a traditional college job it is one of the tops in the country. However his reputation preceded that move. He went from Michigan St. (4 years and resigned immediately after the last regular season game) to LSU (4 years left after bowl game) to Miami (2 years left at end of regular season) to Bama (6 seasons and counting). Again I want to state I don't view him as a quitter. He did not pull the same stunt as Petrino with the Falcons. He stayed until the end of the year with Miami and then moved to a great job. I can see how others would have issue with it though - his longest tenure is the current one at 6 years.

I fully expected Grohl to be the singer. I actually think I would enjoy that more...

the age old conundrum! I've got all of my work done for the day now just have to bide time until 4. I couldn't get through to your link but had no idea what the boxes meant so I just clicked your link - when I went to the first I was relieved barracuda took care of me.... and that I can use google from my iphone!

since GoBills only posts links please label your post NSFW DR.D - almost got me in trouble! Barracuda had my back though

Always loses at least 1 game a year he should win. I do think he did well having Georgia in position this year though. Georgia dodged, A&M, Florida, Bama, and LSU in the regular season (schedule was cake this year) and I thought they would get killed. I was wrong. Still not big on him as a candidate for the Bills though.

yeah which is why I figured many of us are playing it. Thanks for the add.

Since some of you are playing I figured I'd put up a post so we can collect names. I need more santa coins! (yeah I'm a dork) Please add me and list your name so others can add you, if you click on houses that are decorated when visiting their towns you get 1 coin for each. Any other tips and tricks would be appreciated as well. btomasso81

I still don't know where I fall on this subject but I do know one thing: I can't stand the fact that when someone (in this case 2 people) is clearly not of right body and mind, is breaking the law, known to have broken the law in the past and dies they are evangelized. Man these kids may not have asked to be murdered (obviously) but they were clearly no saints. All of the pics are of happy smiling teens and a mug shot of the homeowner who looks like a lunatic. Nothing was learned from the Trayvon Martin case, just like nothing was learned from the Duke lacrosse case before that. Guy in my town gets stabbed to death. News story - expectant father killed on his own porch. Reality - he had 2 girls pregnant at the same time, had previously robbed the kid who killed him and had that kid by the throat when he was stabbed. He alo had recently been released from jail but the paper spun it as was about to enroll in classes at the local community college. Can't stand it.

He would be much better served staying in another year. I think he is better than McElroy but I still don't see enough from him to be more than a mid/late round pick. If he goes back next year I think that would help both his stock and ability to succeed at the next level. He is a winner for sure but I don't think he is a strap the team on his back winner (yet). I like him as a player so please don't get me wrong just think another year would be beneficial all around. He has a great completion % and ypa (edwards arm will love that) I just see a team that relies heavily on defense and running. He rarely plays from behind so it is hard to knock him for not putting up gaudy stats, however it is hard to judge him due to the surrounding talent as well. *Funny side note if you google him the suggested searches have his mom listed 2nd. She shows A LOT of cleavage!

Some of you will enjoy this...

Yeah I am still in it. Missed the playoffs in the tbd league bc the draft got changed and auto draft screwed me (excuses excuses), made the playoffs in my espn league and won this week to move on to the semis. Lost in my 1 pay league bc Brady and Adrian Peterson went bananas for him. Had a first round bye in the keeper league but am projected to lose a close one. I have a lot of tough matchups for my players in that league but it is the one that matters the most now. It's a keeper league I created and am commissioner of, it's the first year, and there is $200 to win!

Fair enough. I'm so numb at this point. I don't really know wtf is going on I just know I don't like it. I feel like there is talent on this team but then games like yesterday happen and I'm at a loss. #$%king Bills! (they need a new emoticon so we can pass "it" on the left hand side )
