I think many of you are missing the point. "Worst" implies that there has been some comparison (at least in the mind of the author). I'm stating that to write an artcile and make such a claim, that there should be some facts to back it up. I'm not questioning the veracity of the statement (as I think it may be close to the truth) but from a journalistic standpoint, you should provide more substance than "Bah - these guys are the worst!" In other words, how did the author come to this conclusion?

It's definitely a perspective thing: I spoke with Raiders fans at the last game that couldn't believe how well they were treated. I guess I was just looking for some empirical data to support his notion that Bills fans were "some of th worst". What does that even mean? Vulgar? Violent?

How many other NFL stadiums have you been to?

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122393578191630373.html Mark Yost penned an article about how the Eagles are combating rowdy fans. One of the methods mentioned was a text message system, similar to the rowdy-fan hotline in place at the Ralph. Of course Yost takes the opportunity to slam the Bills a bit, by making it not only appear that the Bills have no such system in place (they do - the hotline), but by making the claim that Bills fans are "some of the worst-behaving fans in all of sports." I would like to know by what metric we are being judged that makes us the worst. Does he simply have the opinion that we are amongst the worst? Is he basing this on arrest reports, surveys, NFL statistics? It reeks of poor research, also evidenced by the fact that he got some dates wrong too. Don't get me wrong, I do think we are a rowdy bunch, but if a national publication going to assert that we are among the worst when it comes to behavior, I think t should be backed up by facts.

Yes. They are doing their best to self regulate (although they put themselves in akward positions with their practices to begin with).

Exactly this. I think TG is tired of being in a small market.

No, but you sure are posting a lot.

Maybe splitting hairs here - but BF said the police could have acted inappropriately, and you said you didn't care. Or did I miss something? I'm not siding with Benson - but if the police might have broken the law, I care. Just as if a citizen might have broken the law, I also care.

You don't care when the police overstep their bounds? I guess that explains why you think Palin is a qualified VP - obviously she thinks it's OK to abuse her authority as well.

I'm all for it - he could be a big help over the next 2 years.

Folks around here just can't seem to get sarcasm without the aid of an emoticon.

It was a joke.

Ah, but there is a subtle difference: Obama blames the lack of troops, which is in essence laying the blame at the doorstep of our troops. McCain on the other hand wisely blames the altitude, not the troops. See the subtle difference?

I'm sure I could find raving idiots who were partisan democrats too. That kind of stuff proves nothing other than this country is chock-full-of-stupid and will continue to get what it deserves. I just hope I don't have to wait 500 years until Starbucks starts giving hand jobs. At least then, they'll have a product I like.

I was poking fun at those who can't respond with anything more intelligent than "that all you libtards/demoncrats got?" when confronted with facts.

Here you lib'tards go again with your high-fulutin' facts and figures. Donchya know us regular 'mericans are doggone tired of you majority of folks being out of touch with our right-wing, christian, anti-enlightened way of life? Go back to Canada with the rest of your commie, terrorist friends!

You aren't missing much. McCain must be hoping people hear "$5,000.00" and will ignore the rest, like the fact that for most people it will amount to a net loss in terms of real dollars.

You didn't actually ask a question, and no one mentioned race.

Yeah - some of us want to perform abortions with guns.

Fixed.

I responded to my buddy that sent me this with the same calculation and said I'd glady take the $1000.00 instead of the $425.00.

Bingo. Some of you chowderheads might change your tune when he goes to .500 as our head coach today. He's won coach of the year, and was in consideration for coach of the year last year. Does he make the occasional bad clock managment call? Yep, but so do some of the greatest coaches. As Marv said "Smart players get better", well so do smart coaches.

lol "used"

I recommend "Cook Moving Systems". I've sued the twice, my company uses them, and so do the Bills! (I also have 3 friends that work there). They are honest, timely, and not too expensive. Also, if you don't like them, try "All American Movers". I also used them once and found them cheap and reliable.

A fly in my Chardonnay?
