Well I went 3-5-1 on my props so no luck there, but I swept the board on my squares pool at work!

Just placed my prop bets: -- o4.5 combined sacks (-155) -- Defensive or ST TD will be scored (+195) -- Mahomes o299.5 passing yards (-135) -- longest FG made u47.5 (-115) -- longest TD u46.5 (-110) -- highest scoring quarter o21 (+120) -- there will be a missed PAT (+265) -- first player to score TD Tevin Coleman (+1600) -- first player to score TD Kendrick Bourne (+1400) Should be fun!

Heading to a party at friends' -- they will do it up right. He competes in BBQ competitions so I know the proteins will be solid. We'll bring a side -- my wife makes fantastic deviled eggs and I've got a couple of mini helmets to "decorate" the platter. We'll also bring wine.

I haven't looked at the sheet yet...was planning to do that today. It's definitely fun to have action on some of the prop bets during the game. Oh, and I already have 31 squares (27 unique combos) among 5 squares boards so far...and the party I'm going to will have another. LOL

No, it's not. But something for Poloncarz to beat his chest about.

I hear ya. I just feel like there are still lots of Miami fans around.

As much as I despise the Fish I wouldn't lump Miami in with that group. They're an old time AFL team with a storied history -- similar to what Buffalo went through, they are simply in the midst of a horrid drought. If they ever become reasonably competitive I think the fans will come back. But the difference between Buffalo and Miami is that even when the team stinks, folks in Buffalo don't have much else to do in the winter. In Miami there are few other options.

While I understand taste is personal, I think it's a stretch to call a woman who has made more money than god based upon her figure "gross."

In my experience it seems as though folks fall into three equitable categories after undergoing a discectomy and fusion: 1/3 get better 1/3 get worse 1/3 stay the same So, based upon my not-so-scientific recall you've got a 2-in-3 chance of not getting worse. Back surgery sucks.

I don't read to much into the "they" stuff. I mean, he was only there for a season -- less than 9 months. What's important is that you can tell he respects the organization and thinks it is a talented team (that will only add that many more pieces this offseason).

BB had 62 episodes. BCS has always been a 10 episode deal so even a 6th season just gets them to 60. I'm gonna need to go back and watch S4 again...

You would certainly know!

It's too bad he threw him back.

Yup, it's officially Bills offseason

Isn't there speculation out there that Ronnie Harmon purposely dropped the TD against Cleveland because he was on the take? If so he wins least favorite Bill ever, hands down. Funny, I thought his full name was Holding On Will Grant.

If the Pegulas are listening, this is where the stadium conversation really comes into play. Fans love the "idea" of snow games and cold weather, but in reality the players would rather play in pristine, controlled conditions. Bills fans would make a dome ridiculously loud, too.

Yeah, Rap -- AVP did wonders with that QB room in Cinci...

Ha. The order in which you wrote those paragraphs says a lot. It’s pretty clear you know you can’t really level criticism at what McD and Beane have done, but because they didn’t do it the way you would have you just can’t help yourself.

One of the funniest typos I’ve seen.

You are a sad little dude.

Nah, it was a dig. We can agree to disagree, and I don't scour the internet looking for reasons to be outraged. I think Rosenthal pretty clearly doesn't like Allen.

How is this relevant to whether or not Ass Chin deserves all the power he has accumulated? Most of those Bills teams were awful. Are you one of the "we have no right to criticize others if we suck" fans?

He stated his opinion. The "facts" are that he is a part-time player on an "ok" defense, yet he said the Bills didn't give him a chance to play (inferring he would have justified his draft selection). I will politely disagree with your assessment.

@Lurker and @DrDawkinstein you guys clearly didn't understand the context of my post (or follow up). It would be nice if folks could actually read. I didn't "hate" on Ragland and I didn't say he trashed the Bills -- I simply find it interesting how pro athletes' perception of what happened often doesn't match reality.

You sound a bit sensitive. Reggie Ragland, on a good day, plays roughly 1/3 of the snaps for a mediocre defense. He's not what he was purported to be yet talked about how Buffalo didn't "give him a chance" to play. He didn't bash the organization but his perspective on who he is doesn't seem to match reality. That's the amusing part to me.
