Just in Atlanta

I think it's fair to say we can bury the following phrases: 1. We live and die with our Front 4. 2. Fit it up.

AstroBot. His camp reports are incredible.

Just wait until you see what a bad tipper he is.

I'm going to try to have low expectations ... throughout the entire season ... but that is really tough for this eternal optimist. Only can think of two years in which I thought we'd be horrible. Both years we were like 5-1. Then, I got my typical optimism back, only to get crushed by typical Bills crash and burn suckitude. Every other year for the past decade-plus, I thought we had a 10-win team from the get-go, then got a rude awakening with the usual. The moral: You'll almost always be pleasantly surprised when you have super low expectations.

NY could easily be the least free state in the union.

RI, here we come. I'll make sure we bring a cap gun, rope, beer, pipe, toothbrush and toothpaste with us. For the record, I kind of agree with the not biting the leg off of another person ... although that could be covered under general mutilation or assault.

Ha ha. The Big Gulp ban is done. A court overruled Bloomberg. I could do an entire season on NYC and never even mention soda. But Bloomberg might give me a stern finger wagging if he does see me with one.

Thanks!

And mods (SDS): This isn't an advert, I'm not making any money off this, and this is a political show on a political forum. Thought everyone here would appreciate it. If there is a better forum for this, please let me know.

Have 12 episodes mapped out, and am well aware of that book, and need to get it. Will order it t-nite. Thanks.

Hey fellas, I'm a longtime, active member of TBD, and I'm in the process of pitching production companies and networks on picking up my show, Breaking the Law. Top networks include Discovery and History. Breaking the Law investigates victimless crimes and the everyday American lawbreaker. With Congress introducing 55 new crimes each year — and 50 states and 40,000 cities following suit daily — we show how it’s pretty much impossible to not break the law. In the process, we break as many laws as humanly possible. Here's our network promo. [/media] Our first , which just went out. If you think the project is up your alley, I would love a like and a share. Also, if you have any critical feedback, please let me know. (Be aware this ENTIRE project is pro-bono, and I am well aware of the production issues) Thanks guys. FYI, if we are picked up, our fourth episode will be in NYC. Would like to come to Buffalo in the second season! Hopefully during the fall.

I refuse to expect another 6-10 season. 7-9 or 8-8...we at least show progress this year. It's the small victories.

Rarely call out posters here, but this is an absurd post to the nth degree. And I'm only calling you out because you bashed someone with a legit, friendly thread. It's called networking. You are assuming he is going to only rely on this thread to get him his dream job? And don't you know many of the good jobs are not advertised? Second, if he has experience, he's not going to become a God damn intern. Third, networking is all about connections. I'd hire this guy based on his thread a hundred times over versus a guy like you based on yours. Good luck, Thomas!

It's not real until someone has a title on their door. Everyone knows that. And, yes, good luck on your quest.

So what we're saying is we have an analytics program but no department or employees? Reminds me of a Monty Python skit.

That's actually a pretty funny line. It's easy to bash comedy. Try writing it first.

Agreed. What she looks like un photoshopped.

This was a good offseason. We're building a team to win for many years to come. Likely just not for next season, but not because of a lack of urgency, only due to QB play. My prediction: We'll be both painfully sloppy and exceptional on O and will field a respectable D. Final record 8-8.

That's fine, I won't judge you. Yes, depressing. Had no idea DVRs were available in , never even heard of em until 2003 or 4. I was in college during the last playoff game, don't remember broadband being available either; I and everyone I knew had dial-up. Guess I should have researched that. But I think everyone got my point, despite poor execution. That playoff game still hurts. Only time I've ever lost my temper to the point of breaking ****. Threw my remote at the TV. I was so wrapped up in the shock ... still can't believe I did that. If only I knew that would be the last playoff game for 13-plus years I would've enjoyed it.

I wouldn't call it bad, exactly. Out of style. But if it's your style, it's your style. Just don't clip your phone to them. Jean cargo shorts even worse. http://mensfashion.about.com/od/wardrobebasics/a/ShortsDosDonts.htm

Sorry for the random thought, but talk of old playoffs got me thinking about things that didn't exist the last time we made the playoffs: iPods Flip phones Facebook Broadband Internet DVRs 9/11 I used AOL. Jean shorts were acceptable for men. People still went to Blockbuster to rent movies ... usually VHSs. EJ Manuel was about 10 years old. An 18 year old likely wouldn't even remember the Bills ever being in the playoffs.

Every time I saw Fitz in this monstrosity, I couldn't get the image of him popping his bearded face out of a toilet. VY looked even worse. I think we need to start a petition on TBD to flush the toilet collars.

Get rid of these toilet seat collars already. WTF was Nike thinking?

This guy is obsessed with the fumble recovery rate, which I've never even heard of. Seems like a random thing to be even a small basis for determining a team's success. It's about as arbitrary as the dropped passes using two hands rate. (I would say, however, that with a more aggressive DC, and heavier reliance on the run, and a quarterback who can throw accurately, which we appear to have, our FRR, as I'm dubbing it, should improve massively.) We will see a different D. Wannstache could be the worst coordinator ever. And with a new QB, and an army of speedy wide receivers, and using Spiller and Jackson to their full ability, anything is possible.

It aint a big deal, and I don't care, but he should know better. He gets a bazillion dollars to play for rabid fans. Show your colors already. You wouldn't see a Microsoft exec wearing a Mac hat. No difference.
