I know this is not directed at me, but I like this thread. After the team disintegrated in 2005, I expected something around 5-11 in 2006. Yes, that sucks, but my expectations were lowered. BUT, although my win/loss expectations were lowered, I never lowered my expectations of the players or coaches. Call it rebuilding, call it adjusting to new coaching and management, call it whatever you want. I call it football. I expect 60 minutes of 100% effort out of everyone from the third string bench warmer to the general manager! I expect that when the team takes the field, they have the full intention of winning. If any member of this organization expects anything less, than get the hell out of town. p.s. Harriett RULES!

Couldn't it be argued that if the team "needs to learn how to rebound from these dark times" but the even VETERANS have stopped trying to get the fans behind them, that maybe - just maybe, it is because they lack heart?

Outlet Mall on Lundy's Lane up by the QEW.

I was torn between Toronto and Hamilton - then I saw they were $100 (that is still about $88 US$), and decided I really did not need one.

They lost because I was in Canada, looking at CFL jersies in an outlet mall. I watched on tape delay. BTW: on the way home to Rochacha, I noticed the traffic REALLY started to pickup around 3-3:30 on the east-bound 90 and I told the wife the Bills must be getting beat.

I have met Joe, and we have tipped back a few. Just having a converstation.

When I imagine my worst sports nightmare, it is the Bills leaving Buffalo and no NFL in WNY. When I imagine my worst sports nightmare, it is the Bills leaving Buffalo and no NFL in WNY. When I imagine my worst sports nightmare, it is the Bills leaving Buffalo and no NFL in WNY !!

Hi, Joe!

...not to mention that case of tennis balls.

Yes, I can too - but not his actions. I have four kids, so I understand the protective instinct - but to kill a man based on what a TWO year old "said"? Call the cops - definitely.

Maybe they should just say "Hammer Rules!" If you just remember that 2006 = 1984, you may not feel so bad.

Very cool.

Yes, aussiew is quite the stud!

It is easier when someone asks a question about your favortie band. The guy who designed the web site, Jan Hoiberg, is to the Band what Scott is to the Buffalo Bills! I have corresponded with him and he seems pretty cool!

The Band got back together without Robbie Robertson. Robertson continued as a solo artist and did some good work (my favotite is Music for Native Americans). Richard Manuel commited suicide after a concert in 1986. I saw them in Rochester in the 90's after they released Jericho with Rick Danko, Levon Helm, and Garth Hudson, with a new lineup. Rick Danko died in 1999. Levon had throat cancer, but has his voice back. He has a studio/concert hall in Woodstock, NY and does periodic "Midnight Rambles" where almost anybody might show up. "Today, Levon's voice has miraculously recovered. He is singing again, strong and clear. His imagination and vision conceived The Midnight Ramble Sessions, a series of live performances at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock. Named for the traveling minstrel shows of his youth, the first Midnight Ramble was held in January, 2004. It featured one of the last performances of great blues pianist, Johnny Johnson. Friends old and new have joined Levon on his stage including: Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, John Sebastian, Allan Touissant, Elvis Costello, Larry Campbell, Jimmy Vivino, Hubert Sumlin, Little Sammy Davis, The Muddy Waters Band and Donald Fagen. The monthly Rambles have been so successful they are usually sold out in advance." Garth Hudson is still releasing his own CDs (with his wife) and doing fantastic studio work.

I actually did bring the autographed tennis ball to the 2004 tailgate and it mysteriously disappeared. It showed up again this year (Jack?) and someone won it in the raffle!

I was just going to post that link.

We have a winner!

Check your PMs. I sent you my work and cell number. Seeya!

Congratulations!

I am cool.

At almost 74% I guess we are the Silent Majority?

You never partied with us, have you? MNF has always been prime time entertainment as much as a sports broadcast. That said, I do not care for half-time shows that are advertisements for someone's next CD. It is different if it is an EVENT like the Super Bowl, but a Monday Night? MNF has been sliding to the toilet for a while. ESPN is not making it better. They toss in 7-10 commentators during the show and spend half of their time trying to shout over each other. Barkley may not be great as a broacaster, but at least he has an opinion. Theisman spent the entire game babbling - and often contradicting himself. It was like listening to a crazy person argue with himself for three hours.
