I thought the mods finally figured out that he and BF were the same person...?

Besides, you'll never drag him out of Alaska... The move smells to me like more a "face" ploy than a top-level job replacement. Get the maligned guy outta there and hand the reins to the guy whose "crew" (USCG) has been the only universally lauded part of the effort...and was pretty much running things anyway...

Funny, but when I read the title I thought you meant Chris "Boomer" Berman...then I read "My former head coach..." and I had to double-take...Oh, that Boomer.

Well, that's how the Bills Zone historian recounts it...

Hmmmm, Dr. Z was saying the whole JP thing a couple of weeks ago....don't suppose they pool their "player notes..."?

But Ralph was gunning for a Miami team when he bought into the AFL, correct?

...and Satan himself in the non-cropped version.

That's great. Thanks for sharing.

In Madden 2002 (first season with the Texans), Pat Summerall calls them the "Dallas Texans" when he says the full name (I think when providing the score).

...long lunch! Still don't know how you'd expect a response before 1:00... Anyhoo, good plates, good times, tough to break away. In attendance: Jay Rubeo BRH SDS R. Rich Psycho Ward Rockpile Me. Alex Tahou (the founder's son) sat and chatted with us a while (wanted our jobs for how long we were able to hang out and chat). Also had (supposedly) Mike Williams' Aunt's husband (did I get that right? ) in line with us. I think he asked for SDS' autograph once Scott introduced himself. I think that's the closest we've come yet to having someone from the Bills' organization there! Next time we'll try to get Jay's baggage handler.

Yep, and as a lawyer you'll notice the key word is "coordinate" in #2, not "direct." The Stafford Act does not give him authority to override/direct any state/local govt's, but to try to maximize coverage and minimize duplication of effort. So, for example, the LA DHS has the authority to tell the Red Cross not to go to New Orleans, so then the President "may coordinate" with all the organizations involved in order to best try to get the people to the Red Cross instead. He can't just call bull and send the Red Cross in anyway...

...and I predict the sun will set sometime tonight...your point? Refs seemed to be calling it pretty tight last night, combine that with the first week of the season and penalties will be up all around (frick, New England was flagged at least 7 times...). But unfortunately, I haven't seen anything to increase my belief that this Bills team will be less penalty-prone than the Bills teams under the last two coaching regimes...I know that any time I see a run over 10 yards (or a key 3rd down conversion) I'll be looking for the requisite holding flag....

3.29 in Rochester...fill up here... Yeah, I know, tough to deal with the fact that you pay more for gas to get to lunch than the lunch itself... I'm there. Well, I'm not there. I mean, they don't have a wireless hotspot (yet - though "Nick Tahou's Internet Cafe" sounds like a good idea ), so how could I be typing this if I was actually there? I meant I will be there, at noonish...

Just one possession, but WOW....

Yay!!!! One bit of good news in this mess.

Glad to hear you and yours made it through safely.

The point is not whether the gov't could have ordered airlines and rental companies re-opened, but rather why wait until airports,etc were already closed to give the mandatory evacuation order? And as far as the buses not being able to get out, how many people were killed in their vehicles in this gridlock you said was going on when the storm hit? And again, you do the mandatory evacuation sooner, you have more time to move...

He is CajunBillsBacker on this board. So far we've heard nothing since his last post. Thread here, post Katrina..so far, nothing...

Actually, from what I understand the design of the levees to withstand Cat 3 came more like 40 years ago...

otherwise known as a retatta garbage plate?

He'll suck because all the other teams passed him by. Someone picked after him will do real well this year. That's the player we should have picked instead of him. TD doesn't know how to draft.

Talked about in this thread. Seems to me that all TD is saying is the standard political stuff of "we can't anticipate everything that happens through the year (injuries, bad bounces, end-of-season records of other teams), so saying 'playoffs or bust' is pretty silly," IMO. Just accounting for the fact that sometimes "stevestojan happens."

And you know what? This is getting to the point where you have in one thread just about anything you should expect out of this place... Is Lost on tonight? There, I think we have everything covered...

Glad to oblige.

No one mentions the MUT.....How about instead of cursing the darkness you light a candle? There's a lot of good stojan lost to the ether...
