Stanley Lombardi

I'm an avid Bills fan, but I'm also a fan of international, Olympic-type sports. The other day at work a guy said that the only sport the USA is good at any more on the world stage is football. I said that's because football is not on the world stage... Our golfers get blown away in the Ryder Cup (or whatever it's called where we annually get taken apart by the Europeans). Our basketball 'dream teams" win internationally, but only in their dreams. Our baseball could not win an international tournament that began last year. Our soccer doesn't win Our hockey doesn't win. I don't know who our tennis players are anymore. Track still does well, but not great. Our "great" football athletes are competing against the fewest people in the world for their positions. If we started to open it up to international competition, our "world's greatest athletes" would be selling shoes, or crack, in Des Moines or Kansas City... "Impossible," we said about our basketball players, but now they are the world's B word. Half of Samoa seems to be playing nose tackle in the NFL, and they just heard about the sport yesterday. Think about this, provincial American slobs and wimps, when you diss soccer players, track athletes, et. al.-- if the entire world cared about football, our hero Nate Clemen$ (or Clement$ or Clement or however he wants it spelled/pronounced) would likely be playing semi-pro in Peoria. Big fish in a small pond.

"Good" is not confined to any color. Cablelady, as always, gets it.

"Men on the average are taller than women" is not racist. We are making progress.

Not necessary. Just stop writing what color a person happens to be. It's so simple, but you guys just can't seem to break the addiction. Keep your hair.

If you say, "He's a backup safety, a guy who overcomes a lack of size/athletic ability to play in the NFL," it isn't racist. To throw "white" in the sentence just before the word "backup" is racist. But it's heartwarming to see two of you race-mongers having a public display of affection for one another. Touching.

It is definitely bothering you. You are way back on your heels, on the defensive. You are easy prey.

This is called retreat, but to be kind we'll call it "cutting your losses." This is the first wisdom you've shown today. Remember, if it's slow you mean, spell it s-l-o-w. Isn't this easy!

Then just say, "Slow," if slow is what you mean. See, wasn't that easy! You'll get your point across and not perpetuate racism, all at the same time!!!

Anybody who mentions race in this context is, de facto, racist. This board is crawlin' with your kind. You can't give one significant reason for mentioning race in this regard. Until you stop, you perpetuate. And don't lay the holier-than-thou tag on me. I am just sick unto death about hearing what color people are. WTF does this have to do with whether or not Leonhard stays or goes?

Wow. Wisdom is what's under 'Kelso's Helmet.'

Despite rooting for the Chargers, I couldn't help but notice that the best player in the game was Tom Brady. .

Classic!

The Bills got a 1983 draft pick--which turned into Jim Kelly-- by trading what player in 1978?

Which 3 or more cities his child support checks are adressed to will be botherin' his mind too much for him to contemplate any other geography.

I stand corrected-- This classic thread definitely reveals what a pathetic loser IBTG81 is. But one person remains convinced that IBTG81 is not gullible, nor star-struck. Now let the sympathy votes flood in for this pathetic, gullible, star-struck loser who slandered Bledsoe--on the say-so of a person he'd never seen before. Have at it, bleeding hearts!

"Rack him!" This is a classic thread... IBTG81 tried to tell us the inside scoop--that Bledsoe is an as*hole. Turns out we know nothing about Bledsoe--but we find out what a pathetic, gullible, starstruck loser that IBTG81 is.

Sen-friggin'-sational writing!

McGahee isn't nearly as "gifted" (whatever that means) as Thurman Thomas. Whatever it means, let me put it this way: McGahee couldn't tie Thurman's shoes. I can't think of one "gifted" moment that McGahee has had. Thurman, in nearly every game for nearly a decade, was a revelation.

He blows, hard.

He's slow to get his lackluster talents to training camp, and he's quickly making me tire of his act.

Let "On the Rocks" speak for himself--and butt out of a harmless joust. It could help.

F.Y.I.-- Don't own one, champ. By the way, these are standard English words. Get an education and start over, igmo! ('Igmo' is not a standard English word, but it has a ring to it and is particularly apt when describing sh---for-brains illiterates such as you!)

Umhhh...I don't get it. Please elucidate, expand, expound, illuminate, explicate, and extrapolate, oh sage one.

"Way!" Fantastic, LABillzfan! I send my regards.

You've got me--and it--all wrong, igmo. I'm the least politically correct person in the history of the 21st century. It pained me to say I'm sick of knowing what color the ball boy is because I knew some johnny-one-note like you would call that politically correct. Actually, I think all of the races are equally evil. I just don't want to read about what color our next rectum of a player happens to be, as if it had any meaning. Is that PC enough for ya?
