  1. Unfortunately that is the problem with today's media. We here in Albany know all to well how people will print (or post I guess) anything to get a few clicks and misleading headlines are great for that. There is less and less credibility in the media every day. Video Game websites are notorious for this kind of crap because they rely so heavily on tech savvy gamers who get all their news from the web. As printed newspapers die out, you will see only more of this stuff. Don't worry, the illuminati will make sure that you will fall victim to their tracking devices as well. Eventually there will be no escape from Big Brother...
  2. And we have a winner, my favorite post of the day. Always nice to have a good chuckle.
  3. Aww crud, I thought I did actually lol. Oh well. Ruined my own joke...
  4. Names are sometimes not spelled correctly on message boards John. Thanks for being here to rag on people for it.
  5. That is a tough one to figure out. He was (as it is told) instrumental in recruiting some of the guys that came here (not that they are the best of the best but I have been happy with barnett's play so far) so it is hard to just release him, especially after he didn't want to be here until Buddy convinced him but now that this team has shown a strong start it might attract a few free agents on it's own and if they keep building through the draft who knows. Just seems like the guy can't keep healthy which is unfortunate for him and the team. It was fun while it lasted in pre-season though huh Mr. Merriman?
  6. Agreed. That was a very winnable game even WITH the bad play from Florence. He even owned up and put the blame on himself with his comments later on so he acknowledged it and hopefully he can focus on correcting the mistakes he made. If the defense puts more pressure on the QB, there is less time to expose a weak link in the secondary. It is a team game and the team had plenty of individual failures in that game. Including Fitz's picks. One of which if thrown on target would have been a huge gainer, possible score. Having Kyle Williams out doesn't hurt either. This team is getting a week off to rest and re-organize. If it becomes a trend then there is an issue. The defense is what it is at this point. Live and die by the turnover production. While I tend to agree with you on the insane amount of missed holding calls I have seen, if these things all get reviewed then games would drag on for 6 hours
  7. I consider myself a Yankee fan even though I don't care much for baseball in the grand scheme of things (yankee family, so i just adopted the team my parents chose) and I could not agree with you more. I am usually embarrassed to admit I am a Yankee fan because of the way most of them act. On the other hand I wear my Bills colors with pride all the time. It really says something about how obnoxious the fans can be when I am more proud to be a fan of a franchise with no success over the past decade than I am to be a fan of one with 27 world championships. Bleh! Giants fans really are the worst. I was with a few watching the game on sunday and we were all getting along well, then suddenly in the last two minutes when the game slipped away from the Bills they started with the trash talk like that had been up by 40 the whole game. My response was "Man you guys sure were quiet up until the 2 minute warning." a 3 point win that Fitzpatrick handed them with an INT and you would think these idiots just watched their team demolish someone. Sad sad sad.
  8. Yes, high tops come back in a big way. Also, buying a sports almanac might create and alternative 1985 in which Biff Tannen is married to your mother. You have been warned.
  9. Oh dear god please let this happen. My friend who is a Dolphins fan ragged on me for so long about Trent Edwards and now maybe, just MAYBE, I will get to return the favor.
  10. Take it from a guy in the Albany area. This newspaper is HURTING and will do pretty much anything to gain to readers and posters. She is a hack and will be gone soon enough. Yes, you are right about it being printed, but on the website there are only negative comments. Why? Because they want us all to respond to it and keep the hits coming.
  11. Just got back in to Albany from the game. Was in Section 103. What an amazing day and an amazing celebration. So glad I was there for that. Like I had said before, I wanted tickets to this game just because I had a "feeling" but holy hell who would have thought I would be right. It was an honor to share that with all you who call the area home. So proud of my Bills. Albany may be Jets/Giants land but I can wear these colors proud today. God I didn't want to leave that stadium lol.
  12. Okay, please let me redeem this idea by giving you a MUCH better song by a great band with 9 arms. would make a much better entrance theme This may be the last time we get to say it this year and I think the line at 1:53 pretty much says it all. I am cautiously optimistic about this game but maybe that's because me and the lady are getting amped for the drive in to Buffalo tomorrow. I had a feeling this might be the year and I wanted to be there to see it. Just a hunch, so let's hope I'm right. Also: The use of "Shout" is appropriate as well i guess lol
  13. I would love to jump on you for being pessimistic, but in reality, we all remember starting 4-0 a few years ago. The fear of crashing back to Earth has become part of Bills fan DNA over the last decade. It is a weird feeling for me to be excited about this team's start and yet i still keep looking around and waiting for it to all fall apart lol.
  14. Same here, I feel your pain. I only get to choose one a year on my budget and this year I chose NEXT week in the hopes I may witness the end of a losing streak against the Pats...
  15. Well If I had to describe what it's like in one word, I would have to say Fitzmagical.
  16. I heard your Raiders are unveiling their new logo this weekend as well...
  17. No way, he thinks too highly of himself to even realize he may have been wrong.
  18. What position do you play? But in all seriousness, you're right. One dominating win doesn't mean much but if they can continue this into next week and then bring it in to meet the patriots...well then now we might be on to something. For now, cautious optimism is the way to go
  19. Yeah, the other part of it is not doing it via keyboard where people are expected to differentiate between your dry humor and the actual countless serious posts around here that are ridiculous.
  20. By the looks of the replies, I would say plenty of people care. Anything else you would like to know?
  21. This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. okay, now you can stop waiting and go to work or something
