Here is his resume: Ralph Wilson

I coached my son in Little League for three years, both inner city and suburbs. There was a manager and two coaches one year. Each of us had a kid on the team. Rule #1 was that you did not coach your OWN son during the game, especially at the plate. Took pressure off the kid and they were less likely to argue with another adult. I spoke to parents about ragging on their kids and was threatened more than once with bodily harm! Another time I had to go out to the pitchers mound and walk a parent off the field. He interrupted the game to advise our pitcher - who was not even his kid! When my son turned 12 he said he really did not want to play anymore. I know part of the reasaon was peer pressure. I said "OK". Hell, I would have loved it if he was a sports nut but that was MY love, not his. He does other stuff and I could not be prouder. The last thing a 12 year old needs is that kind of pressure ON A GAME!!! He is 27 now and a fine man! The sort of it is - as you said ICE, "People take this stevestojan way too seriously."

Wilson and Hunt are peers. Davis became an owner AFTER the AFL charter and borrowed money from Ralph to stay solvent!! I am open to ideas on how to start a grass roots movement. Remember we NEED the press on our side to get anywhere.

Great to meet some of you! Hope to post pictures soon. That guy who ran around the roof was arrested (see TBD front page for news link). His fall was "cushioned" by fans per the Buff News. Did not mention any injuries though. You picked a great day for the game; November weather is a crap shoot in WNY! You are right about Ralph Wilson. If there is any justice in the system he will inducted into the HOF in 2005, but I will not hold my breath.

where? should I close the pool now? (Irondequoit NY, here)

There are ways you can volunteer!

"Safe" is what lost the game at the Meadowlands. If the mega-blitz sacked Carter, people would be saying what terrific coaching! I agree that main problem was McGee alone on Santana Moss! A great day to be at the Ralph.

Slightly inebriated? You are kind! By 9AM I was on my 2nd beer and working on a shot from the bowling ball at Kenny's Pinto! I will post pictures soon.

Fast Freddy was one of the Furry Freak Brothers. Oh wait, that was FAT Freddy, nevermind! Fat Freddys Cat

Hmmm. I thought it was because they scored more points than the Jets. Oh, dopey me!

ESPN says the Bills "might" have gotten a break. I agree, "might" is the keyword. I believe however, that a replay would not have mattered. It showed nothing that would overturn the call on the field beyond any doubt. That last sentence speaks voulmes!

NJSue, you and I are buddies right? You can take a joke right? You know this is all for fun, right? Just for ***** and giggles I went to Google search and entered "njsue" and this was the FIRST link, honest. Try it yourself. If this gets a drink dumped on me, I prefer a lager to a pilsner. njsue

<bump> That was for you Lori. B)

I was taking a computer science course a LONG time ago. There was an essay question I could not answer. I understood the question and was familiar with the topic in general, but did not know specifically what they wanted. So I wrote a paragraph, correctly using every "buzzword" I could remember pertaining to the topic, using about 50 words to say absolutely nothing. Ka-ching! Full credit.

A jackass?

Oooh, that was biblical!

Ah, shuddup and launch that horror channel so I have something to watch, willya?! That was free advice, btw, GG!

I love it when you talk dirty, Sue.

Try this: toiletology 101 Start at the top. A picture is worth a thousand words.

If the leak is from the reservoir to the bowl, turn off the water, drain the reservoir and remove it. Clean the porcelain where the bolts mount. Probably just some new screws, washers and/or perhaps a gasket will fix that leak.

So, since they are not opening the gates, and you cannot form a line, where are you supposed to hang until they do? Stupid NFL rule!!

I have found that corking the plug hole with a tennis ball does not work. Sorry, that was in reference to a problem I had and a thread that got out of control back around August.

As far as I am concerned, if everyone liked the same team football would be boring. That said, I hope ALL fans that go to a game remember it is a game and act accordingly. Friendly razzing is fun! Fighting is for maroons.

I did not take being dismissed personally. I was happy about that. I did not like his mannerisms - talking to a group of people who were not stupid, as if they were. I am hard working, educated, open-minded and was treated like a moron. That was my reward for NOT coming up with an easy way to excuse myself from doing my duty in a democracy? THAT I took personally. I hold myself to a higher standard than I hold others.

A few weeks back Dollinger was the defense lawyer in a case at the Hall of Justice, when I was dismissed from consideration as a juror. (Thenk Kew!) He spoke down to the jury box like he was speaking to 5 years olds, and he was a sage. Freaking Mr. Rogers goes to court! Can you say "pissant"? He came across as a condescending elitist POS. If he is the measure we use, I am happy to be "the average American" by his definition.
