Was it Hairston's Ankle?
jimmy10 replied to Formerly Allan in MD's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Out 2-4 weeks, per TXT from the Bills. Could be worse, I guess. -
It was fun at the time when they pulled off the first super bowl. They hadn't all turned into entitled, bandwagon-riding d-bags yet. The Pats had no business beating the Rams, and when they did, the whole city went: "Holy sh*#, did that just happen!?" I was watching the game at a friends apartment in Beacon Hill and people literally poured into the streets and bars after that game in sub-freezing temperatures. It was kind of fun to be there to see it. But then the rest of the decade, the Sawx, the Celts, the Bruins all happened, and Boston became that which they used to despise.

Agreed. It's partially about compelling matchups, but it's ultimately about ratings. Until that bandwagon finally empties (I was living in Boston in 2000-2003 to watch it fill up; it was quite a sight to see), the chowderheads will watch Tawmmy Brady in great numbahs. Even though we won't be playing on Turkey Day this year, I'm so happy we finally have a good Thxgiving game slated for the first time in a long time. Packers/Lions could be epic.

What the heck is wrong with the kicking game?!?!
jimmy10 replied to SouthGeorgiaBillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Speaking of the kicking game, I feel like we're seeing a lot less of Moorman this year. He's a pro bowl punter! And a captain! What POSSIBLE reason could we have for under-utilizing him?? I really worry about the direction of this team. -
What is Chad Kelly (Jim's nephew) hinting at?
jimmy10 replied to Doc's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I swear to god, those guys are due. I'm taking them to win outright this weekend. -
Franklin Roosevelt looked pretty good on Sunday too, don't forget him. Edit: Sorry, I of course meant Nathan Roosevelt.

"That is my last real memory of Al Davis: It was getting dark in Oakland, the rest of the team had already gone into the showers, the coach was inside speaking sagely with a gaggle of local sportswriters, somewhere beyond the field-fence a big jet was cranking up its afterburners on the airport runway. . . and here was the owner of the flakiest team in pro football, running around on a half-dark practice field like a king-hell speed freak with his quarterback and two other key players, insisting that they run the same goddamn play over and over again until they had it right." - Hunter S. Thompson

Gene Kelly just tweeted: I'm singing in the rain! -
What is Chad Kelly (Jim's nephew) hinting at?
jimmy10 replied to Doc's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I totally agree this kid is a typical teenage goon, but he's also a goon who happens to be a member of one of two families that knows more than anyone in the world what the future may hold for the Bills. It's totally plausible that he overheard something and decided to tweet about it. The fact that his tweets and indeed his whole profile disappeared within like 24 hours certainly smells like damage control. Teenagers have a hard time understanding the scope and impact of their actions, and probably even more so when they're wealthy, highly-touted college football prospects with direct ties to NFL royalty and a couple thousand twitter followers. Or this could all be about contract talks with a new urinal cake distributor. Who knows. Maybe we'll know more this weekend. Question: For those of us who have left WNY, is this being covered or talked about ANYwhere in the media up there, or is TSW the only place breaking this story? -
Guy at work's theory about the Cincinnati refs
jimmy10 replied to TC in St. Louis's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But isn't that exactly what the CIA, freemasons and WWF (not that WWF, the other WWF) would WANT us to believe?? /runs away -
The point of the stat about the top five scoring teams is not that they're winning. Of course when you score more, you win more. The point is that none of those teams are in the top 10 for defense - so they are also giving up a lot of points too. Which emphasizes the main point of the article: high-octane offenses are in. You don't care if you give up 30. Just go out there and score 40!

Check out the cover of Sports Illustrated
jimmy10 replied to smrodman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Awesome! When does it hit newsstands?? -
Usually when you see that, it has something to do with where a key player in the game is from, or where he played in college. For example, we'll sometimes get random Chargers games here in the Raleigh-Durham area because Philip Rivers played for NC State.

When did you feel the best yesterday?
jimmy10 replied to cmjoyce113's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Haha, me too. When he leaped into the end zone on that play, I was like "NOOO! Too much time left!" so glad it got called back and Belichick through a hissy fit about it. -
They're saying Vick is out 3-4 weeks, right? Heard that on Dan Patrick this morning. So Iggles just got more beatable. The Giants look terrible. Cowboys, who knows with Tony Roma's Ribs. I think the vaunted NFC East is going to be a lot less of a challenge than they would've been in the recent past.
-
Well, it was fun while it lasted. See you all next year!

From where will YOU be watching the game?
jimmy10 replied to Whites Bay's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Freaking out in my living room in Durham, NC. -
Dan Patrick was also talking favorably about this Bills this week, how good it is to see them playing well, much like Detroit. Two old franchises with rich histories, cities with economic problems, etc, etc... It's cool, but also a little nerve wracking. It's like, OK... When is this all gonna come crashing down? We're Bills fans, so we know it will. It could be in the first quarter this Sunday, or it could be the final seconds of the Super Bowl in February, or any point in between. When the Bills finally do pull off a Super Bowl win, I think my head will explode.

Nice Stat from Bills Daily........
jimmy10 replied to Buffalo Mike1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It took me a while to calculate this, but I found that over the course of 50+ seasons, the Bills have a perfect record, completely undefeated, in games in which they score at least one more point than their opponent. Both at home AND on the road. If that's not a mark of consistency, I don't know what is. -
Less, even. The spread will change over the course of the week. The Power Rankings will not.

I actually work in educational fundraising at a big university. Trust me: They've already called him. Many times. The question is whether or not he takes the call.

It's clear what Fitz may lack in physical ability he makes up for somewhat with his head. Yes, Chan may be the real football mind, but I remember a quote from him recently on how good Fitz is at synthesizing information. He only needs to be told something once, and he's got it down. The other thing I really like about him that's refreshing are his press conferences. You don't hear many pro athletes speak in complete sentences with fully-formed thoughts. I think I remember reading that he intentionally did NOT get a perfect score so that the only other guy to get a perfect score (some kicker who was also from Harvard) would remain the only guy to do it.

I thought I read last year that the No Fun League was clamping down on crowd jumps, for safety, whatever. But they were going to "grandfather" the Packers in and still allow it in Lambeau because they've been doing it forever? Or something? Does anyone else remember that? Anyway, I think it's cool and a neat visual, but you gotta think.... All it takes is one psycho with a Swiss army knife...
