People get more whiny every day
section122 replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
because I think this article is a good example of people being more whiny I'll put it here: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/minnesota-man-accidentally-destroys-40-000-square-foot-180003749.html Guy destroyed his yard with chemicals trying to get rid of weeds and is mad at the manufacturer that it isn't clearly displayed on the bottle. It is on page 2 of the manual and that apparently is too much for him. Guy going public did nothing but make him look like an idiot. -
I was going to bet on the over but the money isn't there. They are -190 for 7.5 wins. So at 19 of my money to 10 of there's I'll bet game by game starting with the jets game at buf-6.5

Looks like blackout rule won't apply here
section122 replied to Logical Reasoning's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Tbh I think both sides have a valid argument which makes this difficult. I think I have a solution though, what if blacked out games were available ppv? I don't need the games for free but can't afford to make the trip. I would be willing to pay and have a chance to watch the game as opposed to my options now. People that pay for the ticket should not have the blackout rule even apply to them as they are already putting money in the nfls pocket. I think this would make everyone happy and even though it's a cash grab many fans would be happy to have the opportunity - which as of now is lacking. -
Not yet however today is her birthday and I am taking her to dinner and the comedy club which will give us a car ride to listen to more songs. A decision is looming though as we have a "short list" if she was into the bridesmaids (the non family ones you dirty old man )I would have already married her!

Yes I most definitely do. I watch the preseason when the games are "meaningless." I only get 16 Sundays a year with Bills football and I enjoy each and every one. -

section122 replied to Logical Reasoning's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
wow I am dumbfounded by how insensitive people are to others plights. While I am glad that some of you have been afforded the luxury of having tickets your entire life, or live close enough that going to games is not that big of a deal, that is not the case for some (most?) Bills fans. I live in auburn ny and am 120 miles from Buffalo, because of a cow pasture I am not allowed to watch the Bills if they are blacked out. Sure I could spend 60 on a ticket and 40 on gas and leave my house at 7 am and get back at 7 pm, but more realistically I'm going to watch a different team or not watch football at all (who are we kidding i'll illegally stream it but my point remains) - non diehards will be pushed away or to a different team. I'll add to the economic situations of many Bills fans don't make it as easy as just go buy a ticket. 85% is a low number but 90-95% or somewhere in there is fine with me. The last thing I'll add is that a competitive team will more than likely sell out (please don't spew the early 90's - it is a much different era for many reasons). The games that don't sell out are ones that aren't interesting or have no playoff implications. Fans shouldn't be punished for an inferior product they should be rewarded for wanting to still watch. -
The NFL Stadium Experience
section122 replied to San Jose Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep except I don't care much about the I was there it is the 80k people and that energy that can be felt nowhere else in the world. The owner's solution imo isn't the right one it just is the one that justifies there prices, and refusal to look at lowering them. Fans are such that when there isn't an increase in prices we are happy. Rarely are prices lowered, this year for the Bills being an exception, and lo and behold both of these sections sold out. At least with the saints it's been justified more often than not recently I got the chance to sit in the Jim Kelly club seats once and had the same reaction. I actually asked the people around me why all the seats were blank and they said that people rarely make it to their seats and spend most of the time socializing inside. The other thing I found strange was not one person was the actual regular ticket holder! It was their employer's or family members tickets. Lastly, a tanqueray and tonic cost as much in the club as a beer did in the stands, I love the idea of liquor at the games as I'm not to much of a beer guy but wow would it be unruly! I'd love to sit there again but definitely not at the price of admission, I can't even justify the cheap seats for the p.o.a. -
I actually said to my fiancee man next time I get married I want to elope. I didn't mean I thought it wasn't going to work just that all the details were annoying. I had a tough time talking my way out of that one . I ended up just saying I'm sorry I'm dumb Yeah a chub might be frowned upon but hey its a compliment! Exactly my worry. My grandfather always said to me you can make our last name famous and I'll be proud, you just can't make it infamous. This situation follows that theory. Thank you.

SHUT IT DOWN! TURN OFF THE LIGHTS WHEN YOU LEAVE!!! BEST COMMENT EVER!!! Think about the actual commentary and what he would be saying let alone the nicknames :w00t: I hope you don't mind but it's going in my sig.

Thanks Rockpile. I'm hoping to only do this once but I know sometimes life has other plans. (If I do it again I'm eloping ) My mom is refusing to let her ms get in the way of memories and wants to do the mother-son dance out of her wheelchair! It'll be a very slow dance without much moving but I can wait to create/give her that memory!

damn I came to this link to post that article! Best part was where he has a long time gf knows she's the one but he isn't ready. Yeah no sheet! The perks of being him would have me "not ready" too! On a side note is Upton becoming a Kardashian with white athletes? Seems she makes the rounds a bit. Quick what sport can we create and become stars in?!

Holy crap this link makes me hate it even more that I have to vote for Obama this year! Is his campaign serious? Do you think this guy teaches marriage classes? Methinks the wife and I could learn a few things Seriously though I am amazed at times what people do to other human beings. They should chain him up and give the woman a hot frying pan as his punishment. We had talked about this unfortunately planning and time got in the way of it. A family friend did it for his wedding and I did thought it was awesome. My 2 left feet though put a major kink in those plans. I plan on spending the entire dance telling her how lucky I feel, how happy she makes me, etc.... Your last line strikes me. I was a little concerned about the man rules with my wedding. I know when I see her coming down the aisle, I'm going to tear up. During the first dance, I'm going to tear up. The one that has me the most though is the dance with my mom - those songs are killer emotionally. My mother struggles with walking and is in a wheelchair but wants to dance with me so I'm going to be overly emotional. I'm going to be a blathering idiot on multiple occasions and then have to deal with it later.

Is Vince Young a wacko or just a player that needs coaching?
section122 replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'll mention the year the Titans started 0-6 until he took over and they finished 8-2. Fisher was not very secretive about the fact that he didn't like or want vy - before vy even got on the team. He wanted Matt Leinhart. I'm excited because I've seen this guy tear up the Bills (albeit they weren't very good teams) and also be unstoppable moving the chains with his legs if the passing lanes aren't there. There is imo at least as much to be excited about with vy as there is with fitz. Except for the first few games last year what has he done to earn all of the excitement? He wasn't very good the last half of the year (injured I know) and was up and down to say the least the year before. Before last years 62% he had never cracked 60% completion either. Let alone leading the league in ints. This is a great question. Fitz's starting record with the Bills? Not very good. I'm still very much on the fence with Fitz. It is his job to lose and I'm okay with that. Not sure what he has done to earn that but I am okay with it, but come on can we stop hating on young? He is a member of the team, our team, and he has done nothing since being here to create a problem. If he were able to make the team better than why shouldn't he play? Are we really that concerned with "suicide watch" night that was blown out of proportion? Or maybe him answering a question with confidence (dream team) and the media killing him for it? Give him a chance he could turn out to be great and in all honesty has shown more over a longer period than Fitz has. I want the Bills to win I don't care who their qb is and vy is low risk high reward. If Fitz is good to great then their is nothing to worry about. If he sucks we have someone who can come in and give the Bills a chance. If VY was on the Bills last year do you think Fitz plays with broken ribs? Do you think they finish 1-8? If the answer to either of these is no then the answer to whether or not signing vy was a good idea is yes. -
dhgate has no jerseys for any sports. I don't know if they were sanctioned, only had reebok suppliers, or what happened, but there are no jerseys to be had.

The NFL Stadium Experience
section122 replied to San Jose Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree completely with this. 3 Friends and myself had seasons for 5 years. Tickets cost about $50 a game, tolls and gas were $50, food and beer for tailgating, and beer inside the stadium worked out to about $100 a man. Now we do it at home and it costs less than $100 combined. I love the stadium experience. I am willing to pay extra for it. However, I can't justify the ticket and inside stadium costs. When it is cold outside and I need coffee or hot chocolate I don't want to pay 4 bucks for it. When it is hot outside I don't want to pay 4 bucks for a bottle of water. I don't need more technology - I need affordability! -
Hey come on that's not fair!!! Sometimes the crack dealer gets it!

It amazes me how similar some stories are haha. A friend of mine who has been married for a little more than 5 years was mentioning something along these lines. He said just wait soon you won't even realize and an entire month will go by and you won't have gotten any. I laughed until I looked at him and he said no I'm serious Hey!!! IT TAKES ME MORE THAN 2 MINUTES..... to take my clothes off

Michael Floyd called out by Larry Fitzgerald
section122 replied to OldTimer1960's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree with this as well FIFY I believe one of the reason's for Graham signing yesterday was it was the first day players under contract were allowed to work out at the Bill's facility. I don't know what this tweet says about Michael Floyd's work ethic but I do know what that says about Graham's. -
yeah steam and the smell of the first s don't mix well when she is in the shower and I'm droppin the kids off at the pool. The majority of time I'm annoying her trying to get some early morning action, because we get up around the same time, have to be to work about the same time, and it takes me less time to get ready, what else am I gonna do with the 20 minutes I've got to kill in the morning Needless to say she's not a fan From the stories I've been told by my friends who are already married I think I got the passing out drunk and exhausted before anything happens down cold (lots of practice). Seems to be the norm that "consummation" takes place the next morning! I am interested to know if you guys followed the wedding traditions. She is deathly afraid I will see the wedding dress before the day of and won't stay with me the night before (it's my house that we live in and I have to leave )

I mentioned Paradise in the thread about signature songs. I can't stand that song . I would have expected you to recommend Rainbow Connection. #3 is good advice... especially the last part. She will be very happy the day we get that... I'm obnoxious in the morning

I'll give you another one to add... I used to attend school in Syracuse and there was a bum at this particular intersection every day when I drove by. It was a busy intersection with a stoplight so you were forced to sit next to this guy. He had a sign about being a vietnam war vet and that he needed help. I also don't like giving money so I decided to make a care package. I put some fruit, fruit cups, juice, and hygiene supplies (soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, etc..) in a bag to give him. I figured it was a kind gesture and was worth more than I would have given him in money anyway (I got most of it for free). So I pulled up to him and held the bag out of the window and said here you go buddy hope it helps. His response? WTF is this?! I need money not this Sh*t! I was shocked but still being cordial said I don't have any money to give you but this is some things I thought would help. He replied I'm out here to make money not get free handouts! I wanted to laugh at his ridiculousness but instead opened the door and set it down and told him do with it what he pleased. I don't know if he took the stuff or not - Hell if he wanted money he could have probably sold it, but I was trying to do the right thing and got burned for it. So I generally don't do things like that anymore. I will give some money to people extremely down on their luck (by my judgement which I'm sure isn't perfect) because, as selfish as this sounds, it makes me feel good. On a side note, I almost always tip street musicians. There is a particular guy that plays outside of the carrier dome rain, snow, or sun, he is always there. I respect his game even if he does remind me of this guy (I think he only knows a few chords cause its generally what I hear ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfzDUpB88x4&feature=related
