You do all know it was a spoof of science fiction B movies, right? In the opening theme (the lips) they make reference to : The Day the Earth Stood Still Flash Gordon The Invisible ManKing Kong It Came from Outer Space Doctor X Forbidden Planet Tarantula The Day of the Triffids Night of the Demon When Worlds Collide I like this movie for about the first 30-45 minutes, and then it is very poor! You really had to see it in a theater, with lip synching fans, slices of toast in the air, 'rain' inside, and all the key "prompts" for audience response. Brad - "***hole" What is really amazing is all the actors / singers who continued on with career: Tim Curry Susan Sarandon Barry Bostwick Meatloaf

Dennis Shaw: 1970 Rookie of the year! Great comparison!

I have not seen enough of EJ to pass judgement. I really hope he gets healthy and can string several consecutive games together so I can see what he is made of. If he cannot stay healthy - that is another conversation entirely. LABillzFan: "batschittmuftherpuckinglooniebin"? I did not know you had met my ex-wife!

I have been feeling the same way. Right now seems rather late 80-ish for the first time in a LONG time. Management, whoever that is, seems to be NOT contented to be mediocre. I hope this is a trend not a burp.

It appears that we do.

I can't believe fans (not singling you out) are *still* saying that NOT going to see the game live means we have given up on the team. If things were different I would love to be there, and yes - I am only 90 minutes away from the Ralph.

Jim Morrison also died at age 27. Just watched "The Doors" the other night with Val Kilmer. What is a real time-slap for me is that my youngest daughter is 27! Where did the decades go? In 9th grade, I wrote an essay in English poetry, and used "Up From the Skies" from "Axis: Bold as Love".

I was going to say "The Drop".

I have to work the help desk until midnight, but they will have the game on flat screen wall mount tv's all around the call center! No sound but at least the occasional glance. *-)

2011 and 2012, started 32 games, had 35 tackles. Not to disrespect the man, but...

After THREE games, I am not ready to talk about NEXT year. But knock yerself out.

I would give him an F today. He will get over it but he had no game today (like the majority of the team today).

I am ok with the way he goaded the defenders, but on the penalty against him he bumped helmets. I also strongly agree that he was WAY down the crap list for the team today. So much crap today, so little time.

I am over 80 google map miles from the Ralph and have neither the time or money to go to every game. NFL rules make me local. If a home game is blacked out, oh well! Sucks to be me. Who are you more annoyed with, the whiners who complain about the blackout or the lazy fans who make you eat your unused tickets?

Wow, I have know Idea what I did to deserve the 'kudos' but thanks! Was it the three gulps of the moonshine? I intend to be there every year on opening day. Look forward to seeing you again.

I have to echo everything you said, Jay. After a wet and cool weather start, everything was blue skies and sunshine except for the final score of the game. I will not even try to name all the old and new friends I spent time with. I am afraid of offending anyone, if I do not mention them. The larger tailgate area did seem to curb the multiple TBD sub-parties from previous years. Thanks Scott. People, food, camaraderie - all combined to make this a family reunion. Your younger buddies fit in very well with MY grown children and others in their 20's and 30's - I think I mentioned to you that they were the next generation TBD'ers. Staying at a hotel instead of a wet tent was a first for me, LOL! Also, thanks to all for making my friend, Harry feel comfortable and welcome. He was a 64 year old tailgate and "live" NFL game virgin. He was impressed.

Eric, it now looks like we are booking a hotel room and will need only one parking spot Sunday. General parking please. We will arrive early Sunday and hope to see you at Danny's - probably 8PM Saturday or later. thx

I was there! Jim Kelly and Ken O'Brien were co-MVP's in that loss, which REALLY ticked off some Jets fans.

My first thought, too.

We will be there (4 of us) but not until at least 8pm. Scheduling conflicts.... update: if the weather really sucks, we may not be there until Sunday. I am not setting up a tent in the rain, possibly after sunset!

pencil me in!

Hey, Sid! You coming to the opener and tailgate? I will be there as usual.

I am not opposed to smoking pot. My opinion means nothing. I do want to avoid the legal hassle if caught, even if it is only like getting a traffic ticket. I am opposed to violating the agreement you make with your employer. I make squat and I do not smoke pot, because I could be randomly tested and do not need to jeopardize my job. Why should a rich athlete be exempted from those same rules? JayBaller10, I get pulled over for random DUI checks fairly often, since I work the midnight shift. The police ALWAYS assume I have been drinking. When I had long hair in the 70's (as opposed to no hair now) I used to get pulled over all the time. That was profiling but not racial. Yes, I was pulled out of the car and frisked too, but I was smart enough not to CARRY anything that would get me in trouble. One time I had to unpack all my luggage. This was on the Thruway. I was livid, but I preferred keeping a low profile, and had no cash for a lawyer. I am not down playing your point, just saying... sucks to be different when it comes to the law.

At #3, he can be inactive - at least he knows the playbook. Is there there another #3 QB you see as a viable alternative to Kolb? That is an honest question; I respect your feedback. That is assuming Tuel can really be #2, of course.
