Whaddaya mean you want your money back for the dance lessons? It's not my fault you got thrown out of that Dodger playoff game - - if you didn't have three left paws they would have let you stay! http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/10/dodgers-rally-bear/

From the link in the OP: So if we outfitted a safety with a space-shifting uniform, we could put 8 in the box and make it look like 7, or vice-versa. Let's see Peyton Manning audible to the correct play against THAT. Or we could put Robey on the DL and make him look the size of Ted Washington or Sam Adams. The possibilities are endless. Not sure if that favors or argues against using capes, though.

Bills contact NFL about scheduling disadvantage
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I did a non-exhaustive google on the interweb tubes and did not find a definitive answer about exactly when the NFL schedule-makers start the process of making the next year's schedule. I did find the the following 4/19/12 NY Times article about the schedule making process, which I found interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/20/sports/nfl-schedule-makers-try-their-best-to-please-everybody.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 -
Bills contact NFL about scheduling disadvantage
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You might be right about the motivation for the Bills' complaint, or you might be wrong. Either way, your post up-thread was a bit snarky - - but hey, I sometimes get snarky when we lose, too, so no hard feelings on my end. Anybody actually know when the 2014 scheduling process starts? If I have time later today, I'll try to do the google about it on the interweb tubes. -
Bills contact NFL about scheduling disadvantage
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's my understanding that every team in the NFL, including the Bills, already knows the identity of their opponent for 14 of the 16 regular season games in 2014. Do you think it's a coincidence that every team in the AFC East plays each team in the AFC North and each team in the NFC South once this year? It's not. Every year the Bills play 6 games against AFC East teams, 4 games against another entire AFC division, 4 games against an entire NFC division, and two other AFC games. If I recall correctly, the NFC division and the "other" AFC division we play rotates each year on a pre-determined schedule. As a result, the Bills play every AFC team at least once every three years, and play every NFC team exactly once every four years. But since you've "got it together," you already knew that, right? While it's true that the opponent's identity for 2 AFC games won't be known until the 2013 regular season standings are final, there's no reason why the league couldn't start working on the 2014 schedule now if it wanted to. I don't know when the scheduling work for 2014 games actually starts, which is why I can't evaluate the timeliness of the Bills' recent scheduling complaint without additional information. Comprende? -

Seems to me that unless you know when the NFL starts working on the 2014 schedule, we have no basis to judge the effectiveness of the timing of the Bills' complaint. I don't see any reason why the NFL couldn't be starting to work on the 2014 schedule now, which at least potentially could make the Bills' complaint timely. -
Curved Display Phones

If you don't like a curved handset, you can just skip the handset altogether and attach the phone to your neck: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-57611950/google-tattoo-sticker-sized-voice-transmitter-thats-also-a-lie-detector/ -
Let's think about this for a minute. An invisible uniform PLUS a cape? So we'd stick a visible cape on the back of an invisible uniform so the other team could see where Alonso and Spiller used to be as they moved around? I suppose we might have to do something like that to get the new unis approved by the league office. The NFL owners might be afraid that nobody would want to buy an invisible Alonso jersey to wear to the game - - you could just wear any old T-shirt and SAY that you were also wearing the invisible Alonso jersey on top of it. But if we added visible capes maybe Ralph and the other owners wouldn't feel like their merchandising revenue was threatened, 'cause if a fan wanted to show up in the uniform of their favorite player at least they'd still have to buy the cape.

EJ Manuel aiming his passes?
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead replied to BillsFanFromCincy2012's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I certainly hope he is aiming his passes. Ready Throw Aim wouldn't work too well. -

Traffic stop gone wrong

It gets worse. It wasn't mentioned in the body of the news article, but the copy of the attached complaint in the lawsuit adds this gem: -

It's a lucrative specialty, in part because IP disputes sometimes have "bet-the-company" stakes: http://www1.salary.c...-II-Salary.html And it skews higher in SF: http://www1.salary.com/CA/San-Francisco/Intellectual-Property-Attorney-II-salary.html -
