Scream along with Mitch.

Not the point. And anyone who didn't suffer from POS syndrome would likely know that, (And I watch EVERY game.)

I pump faked once, but she was very good at blocking my further advance. Wait,. What?

Well, I hope you get to decompress before jumping back in. Maybe an opportunity for a bit of Whisky Dick time?

Since this thread is, well, essentially about nothing, I don't feel as though I could possibly hijack it. So I will ask my burning question here: What's the deal with Mrags? While I was on a self-imposed posting hiatus, I did occasionally check in and read the board. I remember there was a poster of that name. Can't recall his persona, though. But I don't recall him as a bad dude. That might be due to the fact that I'm typically fairly faced while reading the board. So, Lucy, splain! What's the deal with everyone asking if Mrags (Mr Ags, etc) should go or stay> Much obliged for any legit response.

See, that's what I'm taking about. A comment like that is a clear sign of acute POS syndrome. I'd have that checked out.

Many of the Florida beach towns (East and West coast, but especially West coast) are exceptionally nice. I'd be shocked if anyone argued otherwise. (Although I understand how some might find some of these places a bit too snotty/rich for their tastes. Especially if you love the down-to-earth vibe from many of the Great Lakes cities.) But once you get inland, as one poster already stated (the dregs heat of Florida) it becomes more intolerable, IMO.

Seriously, you never know what will happen. I believe the Bills have a bit edge in this game and should prevail. But I will be SHOCKED if they come out flat. I just don't see how this could possibly be a "letdown week".

Hey, Jimmy. You mudder's callin' ya. She's rips#it pissed at you for eatin' all the gabagool. Dat was for ya fadder, ya mook.

You weighed them? Just kidding. Yes, it's not as hard as some people seem to think to find a place watch the Bills, in any major (and even minor) city. It's more a question of atmosphere.,

A few years back, I was in NYC on a football Sunday and wandered down to McFadden's just past noon. I had a drink in McFadden's but decided I couldn't take that atmosphere the entire game--I wasn't feeling great. (Turns out I was just getting the H1Ni flu). Calico Jacks was also packed. So I found a bar next door to that (maybe two-three doors away.) It was basically dead. Bills game on. Cool bartender. Had the place to myself for awhile and then Bills fans started to trickle in and the place ended up having a pretty good crowd without all the unnecessary blaring music during commercial, incessant announcements, etc. McFadden's is a big party atmosphere, and I get the appeal for some. Hey, they do a hell of a job for their customers, that's for sure. There are times I might be able to enjoy it and cope with the bad blaring music. But typically I just want to watch the game, and do it relatively comfortably. I am old.

If you like a bar packed with loud, rowdy Bills fans, it's hard to beat McFadden's. Doesn't the bar next door to McFadden's also show the Bills game?

If only because Miami fans aren't really worthy of such an article.

I believe many pizzerias in WNY use pepperoni made by Ezzo, from Columbus, OH. One of their products, Ezzo Supreme Special, was developed specifically for Buffalo area restaurants. I think some use their GiAntonio style as well. http://www.ezzo.com/products.html And man do I miss a Viola's sub (double steak and cheese, of course). No I don't think that's the reason, or certainly not the only reason, you are a POS. But expressing it the way you do tends to confirm the POS diagnosis. And remember, while drunken idiots may be annoying, they pale in comparison to sober idiots. Drunken idiots can be OK when sober. Sober idiots are pretty much idiots all the time.

Shakespeare was a poor choice there, you are correct. I'm rightfully ashamed. And yes, there is sport humor that is much smarter than this---often on Deadspin. But this isn't that. Glad to hear you've decided to just go with it.

No I'm never gonna do it without the fez on.... Wait, this isn't the thread about best opening lines to a song? My bad.

Great article. Thanks for sharing. I lived next door to Felser for a year or so. He had a sheep named Lana Lynn (get it? lanolin). Really nice guy. Very good writer in his prime.

You expected a well researched essay written by Shakespeare? These articles are cheap shots, and all cliche. I'm guessing the Raven's article will have references to Lewis and Rice, the Jets piece to mention foot fetishes. Be like the Jews and Canadians (if I may boldly use a couple of stereotypes) and learn to laugh at yourself.

Well, like Roddy White, my biggest concern this weekend is that it has killed my fantasy team, this weekend! http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/09/12/roddy-white-thinks-his-fantasy-team-is-the-real-victim-of-the-adrian-peterson-case/ Seriously though, hitting your kids to the point of damage like this is disgusting. From my experience as a child, the mere act of your parent hitting you was negative reinforcement enough, and was more important than any pain inflicted. But as a man who has never been a parent, and therefore an expert!, I see hitting a child as a last resort--when you've really run out of options. And of course, for the protection of the child. For instance if the moron runs into the street, keeps trying to stick his/her hand into a fire, etc. And, Tom is right, intention definitely matters. While ignorance isn't an excuse for abuse, it is a mitigating factor, IMO. For some people, it's all they know,. As long as they don't really enjoy it, they might be able to be retrained. I'd hate to be Goodell on this one. He has enough crazy s#hit on his plate (much of it his own fault).

Giving out too many of their crappy breadsticks and letting people use too much dressing? Yes, that's the problem with Olive Garden. As for salting the pasta water---well you do need to. But I heard one crazy TV chef suggest you need to make the pasta water "as salty as the ocean". Seriously, you really don't need to salt the water that much. Plus this whack job, salted her sauces so much (along with everything else) by the time she was finished I can't imagine being able to taste anything BUT salt.

A roommate of mine in college, in the mid 70's) had an old Rambler (I think) with a push-button automatic. He got it from his grandmother and it had like 20,000 miles or so on it. You didn't drive the car as much as just guide it. A boat on wheels. We beat the crap out of that car..

So now you are just an arrogant and annoying POS? Fair enough.

Nobody brings the links like you, 26. Well done as always. This one is for you, Ralph!

Just to be clear, he's doing this with ALL the teams they play. It's simply our turn. Agreed. Lighten up Buffalo fans. It's funny, It's mostly true. And for the most part, it's a good thing. Be proud!
