Not familiar with the song, but now I will go check it out.

(No option to embed video anymore? Probably a good thing.) And with that, I wish you a good evening.

Say it ain't so, Kelly. Next you'll tell me professional wrestling is fake. All my illusions shattered!

The new direction of this thread makes it somewhat tolerable. I actually had to work with a guy named Richard Hertz for a project. I always called him "Dick". He wasn't happy about it.

Craven Morehead?

Pat Mygroin?

I know the Beibs has been cranking out the tweets, but I feel his info regarding the Bills sale has been spotty, at best.

Flagler College Radio (WFCF on I heart radio) is about the only radio station I listen to, except for Performance Today on NPR. I hear some new jazz on their weekday jazz show (3-7 PM), and sometimes new acoustic/bluegrass on their weekend bluegrass show. I believe I discovered the Carolina Chocolate Drops on that show. Tonight I heard some decent' classical music written in 2013 by Ofer Ben-Amots on Performance Today, which is a great show (gotta love the piano puzzler). Mostly I rely on friends with whom I share similar musical tastes, as they rely on me. Much of what is new to me is in fact very old, be it classical music from another era or jazz from the 30's, 40's, etc. I also frequent a Steely Dan forum and, as you might expect, many of those fans have rather sophisticated musical tastes. Music that transcends genre and is a combination of complex chords, intricate chord and time changes and subversive and bizarre lyrics creates a pretty unique fan base with some interesting musical tastes. More often than not I don't like the recommendations from most posters because--well most music (like most movies, and most art) kind of sucks. But I was lucky enough to be turned on to a great musical collaboration that goes by the name of Snarky Puppy--from Texas of all places.

Seems like that decision makes itself, then. Good stuff, DJ.

Bills fans not even in the top 10? WTF
The Dean replied to Guffalo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sure, whatever. But a Bills fan constantly dogging the Bills and defending/promoting the Pats* on a Bills forum is easy to understand? -
Got ya. But is there a downside, to the team or Kiko, to PUP him? If not, I can't see any reason not to choose that option.
-
Agreed. What's the downside? Is there anyone else nearly as valuable competing for that PUP designation?

Drunk moron (do I owe Tom money for that? I've been away for awhile). He had plenty of time to calm down and people who seemed to care about him trying to get him to do just that. If this was due to drinking, he shouldn't drink--period. If he is like this normally, he probably needs anger management counseling. I don't care how young he is.

Interesting. There has been some talk suggesting the December meeting wasn't an option. If it is, I suppose there is less pressure to make it happen ASAP. Still it seems like they will likely try to make the deadline for an Oct meeting. And for our sake and sanity, I hope that is the case.

Very unusual for a QB I think. Good info, DJ.

What in hell are you talking about now? The Pats* sell out because they win and they are in a huge market. Period. That doesn't make them a great fanbase. If you are arguing something else, then OK. But this thread is about the best fans in the league. The Pats* selling out a relative small stadium (until 2004) means little in this thread. And, BTW my position never morphed. I was just explaining to you why them selling out is so remarkably unimpressive. I didn't expect you to agree--or understand, frankly. -
I love the "rainbow tunnel" in Marin. A very small tunnel (1/4 mile maybe?). Enter from the SF side (south) in the fog exit into sunny warm weather. The reverse is, obviously, true. But I prefered the fog for the most part. I lived in Twin Peaks in the early 90's with a spectacular view of downtown and the East Bay. Sometimes the fog wouldn't roll in from the west. It would actually "pour" in, as if it was being poured from a pitcher. It would come over the hill and seem to bounce off the ground (I don't believe it actually did that, but that's what it looked like). I would have blimps off my deck that looked like they were almost on top of my apt. I watched the big east bay fire from my porch (and my giant picture windows), Damn I miss that place.

No tape delay. I actually have things to do. Your argument rests on an area with a huge population selling out for a team that typically has a winning record. I suggest you try to work on a better one. And, if you prefer change the driving time to an hour. Makes my argument more compelling, actually,. You seem to be obsessed with the number of fans attending the game. When you do the math, the Bills would have to sell out a stadium of fewer than 20,000 to maintain that incredible Patriots* streak, and that's with the inclusion of Rochester--a generous move on my part as it is more than 1 hour away, and the very few in Canada within an hour (including the border) drive. Quibble a bit with the numbers, as that is the level to which your argument is now reduced. And no, i'm not basing my argument on the wearing of colors or uniforms (I don't wear Bills gear when I go to games or a bar). My position relies on a number of observations. I actually go to sports bars and see what fan base show up, week after week. I admit I rely on anecdotal evidence as to who attends from visiting teams, as well as observe it myself. Year after year reliable sports publications rank "the best fans" and I've virtually never seen the Pats* fans listed, until this article from a publication that is tone-deaf when it comes to sports. I observe what fans continue to show up, regardless of their team's record. The Pats* have not, since your rather arbitrary (not really since it coincides with an ownership change) experienced a long streak of losing. They went to the playoffs in 4 of the 7 years in question. How is that an extended period of failure? But even so, with the population of the area, it shouldn't matter. They have no excuse for EVER having not sold out. The saddest part of your position, however, is you continue to find a way to knob-gobble the Pats*--this time their pathetic fans, and find an excuse to discredit the Bills--again, this time the fans. The team may have been a failure for many years, their fans remain among the best in the NFL. I suggest you go to a Bills game and a Pats* game in San Diego, or Seattle, or San Francisco. Even now, with the Bills experiencing a 13-year playoff drought, and see how many fans are rooting for the visiting team. Check again when the Pats* have several years of futility (that may be a while, but if you would have done this in the 80's you would already know the results). There should be no comparison,. After all, Boston has many times the people of Buffalo. There should be 3-times as many Pats* fans at any given event, right? But again, I'm using logic and your position is not related to logic. You love the Pats* and will defend them even when your position is defenseless. I understand. I just can't understand why you continue to post on a Bills forum. -
He played in every game in which he was active? Wow.

I should have mentioned the old Foxborough stadium (which is where they played during the time in question) had a capacity of just over 60,000. They sold that out.. What a joke.
