These are the kind of stories I wish we didn't see around this time of year. Unfortunately, we do. Very sad.

Good point. When it goes beyond just wanting to see your team, or wanting to see your friends, or even wanting to have a few drinks to "wanting to get trashed" (why anyone wants to get so drunk that you have no control over your actions is beyond me) @ the game, that is where the problems start.

Jazz and blues are two of my favorites, and I see I'm not the only one. I've always said that I'd never join a band unless it was an acoustic jazz band. If I actually had the time to invest in it, I'd go for it.

I just hope he doesn't come back as dominant as he did in last year's Sunday night game. He was all over the place then.

Having dealt w/ Steelers fans both @ RICH and in Pittsburgh, I've never seen them any worse than our own... Precisely.

As I mentioned in another post, Clint Eastwood's documentary on Monk is a must see for any jazz fan, especially a fan of Monk's work. I have it on VHS, and if I ever find the tape, I'm going to convert it to DVD.

I was just talking w/ someone about that over on Bills Zone. They said they had heard Buddy Guy's place was closed down, but I told them that his website for the club is still up and running. Glad to know it's still open, if it actually still is.

How that for expert ANALysis?

I'd like to have it on a Saturday or Sunday evening. Maybe early evening, around 5-6pm (EST).

Now kids, play nice.

Those guys are good, but I prefer Thelonious Monk, Chick Corea (acoustic as opposed to electric), and Ahmad Jamal any day of the week. Also, Ellis Marsalis is phenomenal.

Not an altogether bad scenario. I love Lutui, and I do think he'll be a much better pro than college lineman, which is saying a lot because he was pretty good @ USC. Gocong would be a nice edge rusher in passing situations. Schlegel is where I'd go another route. Too slow for this kind of offense, which relies in MLBs being able to go sideline to sideline.

Maybe by expedited they meant 'hurry up and wait'?

Here's the information you'll need to sign up for the Yahoo! leagues that I set up. R. Rich’s Buffalo Bills League ID#: 270152 Password: BB06TBD TBD2 ID#: 270189 Password: OLDSENILEMEN2006 Both leagues still have openings as of now.

You should check the league website, Anthony. The answers to most of your questions can be found there. One team has already been replaced. They inherit the same roster and make their keepers based on that (which they've already done). The fee is the same as last season and the information on how/when to send it can also be found in the forums on our league website.

You mean this ain't Rome?

Good question, Dibs. Good question indeed.

As much as I like a nice outdoor jazz festival, especially for the way many artists gladly donate their time to show up there (as opposed to the diva-ish ways of many popular recording acts), I am and always will be a fan of acoustic jazz indoors. I love going to see a nice jazz trio or quartet in some small club (there was a great in house trio I saw once in Springfield Mass that was awesome!). The acoustics sound so much better that way, @ least to me they do.

If you like both Bird and 'Round Midnight, you should check out the documentary Clint Eastwood (Bird's director) did on Thelonious Monk called "Straight, No Chaser" which is the title of one of Monk's most famous songs.

Nice post. Kind of Blue is a classic, to be sure. Coletrane and Bird also have many classics as well. Here's my addition to the list: anything by the guy who had a strong influence on Miles Davis and is considered one of the all time greats of jazz. A guy who I fully intend to see in concert the end of this year when he makes his way to DC. His name is Ahmad Jamal.

I've been wondering that myself for about 6 years now.

Well, if we would've taken Bunkley w/ the 8th pick, the Iggles wouldn't have taken Justice @ 39, leaving him there for us 3 picks later. Maybe that's what he meant? Or, maybe he subscribes to the "first round pick is the entire draft" way of thinking?

Some of us like KISS' music. Some of us buy their albums (I still have many of their older albums on vinyl) and go to their shows (about 6 or 7 times for me, total). To each his own.

Oh, I get it. I get jokes.
