  1. That was a pretty scary few moments there. I was thinking rib injury. Then Thigpen got hit by the ball in the head and I saw my life pass before my eyes.

     

    LOL, me too. Fitz was down, Thigpen got beaned, and I was like: "Great. Back to the hard luck ways."

     

    But not this team. Not this year.

  2. A damn shame. Rest in Peace, big guy.

     

    RIP Mr Hull

    After 9/11 I posted some drivel here and a freind of a freind who is a teacher from Missisippi read it to her class two days after 9/11. Kents son Drew was in that class and asked the teacher if she knew who the writer was. The kid told his dad about a Bills fan and Kent took it upon himself to get my information from the teacher. A few weeks later a large envelope arrived in the mail. It was a personal letter about the 9/11 and some encouraging words about the state of the Bills (they were pretty bad back then), he also included a few of his signed trading cards and an 8x10 signed. The guy was just a class act all the way around.

     

    Very cool story. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure you've done something like it, but I would totally frame that letter and the 8x10 side by side and keep them in a special place forever. That's heirloom type stuff right there.

  3. It's official, now I have been to many away games to see our Bills play. For the longest time I felt the jets fans were the worst but after today I'm sold. Giants fans hands down the biggest group of lame babies! My bro and I were the only bills fans in our section and when buffalo took the lead we were cheering. Few mins go by and security comes over and warms us to be respectful and stated we needed to stay seated! A little while later we get told that some "concerned fans" text security saying we had threatened them..mind you we were at the game with some friends who were season ticket holders so we were on our best behavior out of respect for them. I spoke to security and told them nothing of the sort had occured and several people near us did the same. When buffalo tied it up as expected we were again told to "knock it off" again unprovoked someone in the stands kept texting security getting us in trouble. then with 1:20 on the clock security came up to us and told us we had to leave and escorted us out of the stands! I will never go back to Jersey to ever see another game we missed the end of the game and mam I so wish I did something to deserve it!!! Scumbags! It's nothing but The Ralph for me from now on!

     

    Tens of thousands of dollars for PSLs, god knows how much for the seats themselves, whaddaya expect? You got kicked out of North Jersey's most expensive wine and cheese reception. That's not something to be ashamed of. Dare I say, be proud.

  4. yuck. you had to live in Boston when all these so-called Pat's fans came out of nowhere. That sucks.

     

    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.

  5. Running down the end of the year - almost all the night games have either Boston or NY in them- if we get bumped it'll be agaist a big market. They won't pull Boston for tennessee.

     

    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.

  6. "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

  7. 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?

  8. 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!

  9. Why does that little pocket of AK, TN, and MS get the NE/Oak game when all around it carries Den/GBB Just a little patch of green in a sea of red.

     

    GO BILLS!!!

     

    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.

  10. 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.
