Who cares about respect or what other fans think? I don't "respect" or care about any of the other teams in the league until the week that they show up on our schedule. We'll get respect when we win the Super Bowl.

I aggravated my sciatic nerve last December. It started as just a tightness in my back. I could get around reasonably well for a few days, then it spread down my hip and all the way down to my foot which was numb. On the Sunday the Bills played at Cincinnati I was in excrutiating pain, it was absolutely unbearable. It got to the point where my 8.5 month pregnant wife had to get out of bed and drive me to urgent care. Once there they gave me a shot, some muscle relaxers and wrote me a prescription for naproxen. The shot helped within 10 minutes and the naproxen / muscle relaxers helped get it under control over the next few days. The most concerning part was that even after the pain and discomfort went away my foot was still numb for about three weeks. I went to my doc and was told it was normal and it would eventually subside. It did. So I can't help with the chiropracter, but my doc did give me some exercises to do that probably would be similar to what a chiropracter would suggest. I really hope you are not in as much pain as I was.

In NY State, I want the right to shoot all cell phone addicts who can't decide whether to drive or operate a runaway phone booth with zero consideration for other drivers. I see a few folks with the new headsets but far too many are still holding a cell phone to their ear, driving other people off the road while immersed in their useless phone conversations.
Cell phones = Adult pacifiers
BLAM !
Amen, brother! I have to admit I get some serious road rage when seeing these a-holes weavng around in traffic as they chat away on their fuggin cell phones.

I have stood in against a 90+ mph fastball in baseball before. It's no fun. I was thrilled that I was able to manage a weak pop out to short.

If you are 22 my best advice for you is to not do it. Seriously.

Funny. I moved away from Buffalo and I miss all the great subs there like Mike's Giant Subs (I think they changed names) John and Mary's Pizza Junction etc... We have all that Quizno's Subway crap here in Atlanta and to me it doesn't compare. If I still lived inBuffalo I don't think I would ever eat at those chains.
I think Mike's changed their name to Hoagie Bothers around the time I left Buffalo. I have to agree with those who mentioned John And Mary's subs, their Royal sub is fantastic. I never went to the original location on Harlem road though, I grew up going to the one in Hamburg.

Very true. I honestly can't remember the last time I listened to music on the radio. Maybe late 90's. However, there is a ton of great music being made these days if you search it out. That's probably too much to ask of the hot pockets generation though.

A great story for a great cause. I just wish BF could have been a little nicer to the guy.
Bill's had his share of luck on the road, too. Sure, hotel rooms have fallen through here and meals haven't been delivered there, but Holden says his worst experience was a Cardinals fan in St. Louis who refused to give him an extra scoop of ice cream for his cone. -
I'm as big of a Rush fan as there is, but jeez Alex, just let it go.

Congrats Grandpa! Good to hear mom and daughter are doing well. Enjoy that cohiba!

I have a Weber Silver B gas grill and love it, but find myself using my Weber smoker a lot too. You can't beat the charcoal and wood smoke flavor.

Should be easy to predict the responses from the right in this thread.
"You're not in the military/government/defense department, so you don't know what you're talking about."
"What Saddam did to his people is far worse than anything we've ever done."
"I can't believe you would defend those animals, you commie/liberal scumbag."
"Amnesty International has an anti-US agenda."
"This is the kind of crap that shows why the left will lose another election. Support the troops, my ass."
"These animals are terrorists, and therefore don't fall under Geneva convention rules."
"These animals are trained to say they are being tortured if captrured."
Anybody got any others to add? Which one's am I forgetting?
Beats the liberal mindset of "Maybe if we're nice to the terrorists then they'll be nice to us."

Bring back Todd Schlopy!

I didn't realize things were this dire either.
Thoughts and prayers to Fergy and family.

Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you I gotta plead ingnorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices and I tell you peope do that all the time.

Make sure to:
1) Congratulate him on "Mission Accomplished"
2) Thank him for finally allowing the Iraqis to vote. How many American lives did that cost us?
3) Congratulate him on one of the greatest scams in the history of the modern world (ya know, the one where we started a war over weapons that didn't exist, and yet continued said war under new pretenses, and yet got re-elected somehow).
4) Ask him why neither of his daughters are in the military.
5) B word slap that SOB.
Thanks
You forgot a few:
Flightsuit! and Halliburton! I guess the hot pockets were done?

I fell asleep in the theater during Phantom Menace and have caught bits and pieces of Clones on HBO. I will probably rent those two and watch before going to the new one next month maybe. I loved the first three, just haven't gotten into the newer ones yet.

I agree it would have been hard if not impossible to dump Bledsoe if the Bills made the playoffs. Perhaps if he was the clear main reason for a playoff loss and got undressed the way Belicheck played him in his first game against the Pats, then maybe.
However, it really would have taken this type of power outage in the first playoff game to overcome:
1. The Bills would have been featured as one of the comback stories of the year going from an 0-4 start to a 10-2 finish. WM's prescense would have gotten the main credit, but Bledsoe being the QB for a team that finished with a very very impressive 7 regular season wins in a row would have got his fair share. It ould take a huge Bledsoe power outage even surpassing his joining with Lindell, Clements funble and the D taking the weekend off against Stillers scrubs to reverse the effects of this week long commercial for the Bills and Bledsoe.
2. If the Bills finished with 7 straight wins and double digit victory, not even taking into account the reversal of fortune after an 0-4 start, Bledsoe was so horrendous in 2003 that as the nod is for regular season performance a lousy playoff game would not stop Bledsoe from getting some nods as 2004 comeback player of the year, It would be really hard even after a playoff loss unless it was all demonstrably Bledsoe's fault to cut him rather than invest in the hope that he would comeback yet again from this playoff loss.
3. Bledsoe actually did improve quite a bit under MM and TCs guidance even though he did not improve enough to be adequate (TD should have cut him after his 2003 horrendous season rather than resign him). Under MM, Bledsoe did achieve after the 0-4 start:
A. a great ability to run the playfake leading to beautiful downfield tosses with his strong arm to Evans. He always had good ballhandling ability as shone by his catching some of the shotgun adventures from Teague until he settled down a bit and he used this well receiving pitchbacks from WM and throwing sufficient bobs to Evans. Many QBs can't even throw a catchable bomb on the dropback and Bledsoe catching the pitch from a first year player and hitting the downfield receiver for a TD or big gain should not be dismissed as something anyone can do because they can'.
B. They even used the stature as an effective runner sending him on several QB draw plays for positive yardage last season. It does not matter that he never broke one for a TD or much more than a gain of 6 yards or so. Bledsoe being used as a runner on the delay up the middle combined with WMs effectiveness to force opposing players (particularly their LBs from selling out completely on the blitz or going around the blitz pick-up because they had to hesitate to watch the middle before abadoning it for the blitz. I admit I had actually been lulled by the constant references to him as a statue on TSW to assume he would never run. MM and TC however, correctly saw that Bledsoe is a big boy who can survive a hit 6 yards downfield as well as he could survive multiple hits he took getting sacked.
C. They also used Bledsoe as a credible fake to run the QB sneak (something I think KG and GW never did) and he turned this fake into a pitch back to WM who scampered over 40 yards for the TD as the D committed to looking inside first to stop the Bledsoe 4th and 1 dive.
Clearly the comfortable 6 wins came about because of theST, WM and the D primarily but I think it is not logically deniable (though those who are psycotically addiceted to Bledsoe do not depend on logic or rationality to bash him) that Bledsoe was much better in 04 than his incredibly stinky 03 when the Bills went 10 or so quarters consecutively under his QBdom not scoring an offensive TD.
4. it would have have been a ticket sales and PR disaster to cut a playoff QB who has been a totally quality guy until he got the word the Bills wanted to cut him if he didn't take a paycut, Many hate Bledsoe (we have seen their posts), but likewise from the moment he arrived a lot of people loved him and worship him. To cut him once his squad made the playoffs would have so soured a lof of ledsoe loving Bills fans (even after a playoff lost) that it would have meant a lot of splaining and selling to fans and would have heightened the already big pressure on JP to produce and produce now.
Further, MM and TD would have heightened the risk they are taking which will comeback to bite them IF JP has the usual first year adjustments players have and Parcells remains smart enought to coach Bledsoe to "just throw the damn ball" as he did when he made the SB with Bledsoe. I actually suspect that Dallas is a better situation for Bledsoe to be productive than Buffalo.
1. Parcells will not have to rely on the QB leading the team like many Bills fans will expect more than JP individually than he needs or likely can produce for the Bills to be a winner. Both Dallas and Buffalo will likely win more games by getting a Trent Dilfer like result out of QB than getting a John Elway like result. Neither Bledsoe or JP is anywhere near a Elway in terms of playing ability. The question is whether this player with the golden arm/lead brain of Bledsoe or the a player with the first year starter limitation of JP can in fact be coached into managing a game like a Trent Dilfer. Parcells did this once before with Bledsoe when they made the SB so saying it cannot happen ignores reality.
2. The personnel in Dallas will actually suit Bledsoe- They are in OK shape at RB with Jacque Jones showing not as much promise as WM, but he is good. The WRs are muc weaker than Moulds and Evans but to the extent this makes even Bledsoe think twice about throwing instead of running this may not be bad. Their OL is getting old with old talents like Larry Allen and Flozell Adams and young but les productive than hoped talents like Gurode, but I see no one saying our OL is a stone cold lock to be solid from the start. I think we will solve the TE problem but like us TE is a question mark but Parcells has demonstrated that he can find productive answers to these questions even with the limitations of a Bledsoe.
3. There schedule does have them facing 6 games against playoff teams but only 2 of those in the first 8 and the last two against Carolina and St. Louis. Getting out of the gate well will be tough but can be doable for Mr. Bill and if he gets on a roll then and Bledsoe are on a roll.
The bottomline is that if Bledsoe is even hinted by the press as a doing a comeback after the Bills cut, then the Bills better be winning with JP (I think we can if we do not rely on this youngster to win games as Pitt did last year letting RoboQB ride Bettis and an opportunistic D to Ws) or TD and M will have some splainin to do to disatisfied customers. If Lindell had not missed a chip shot. the D had played their usual game against Pitts scrubs, if Clements hadn't taken away by laying the ball on the carpet as much as he giveth with is TD return. or if Bledsoe had proven to be a good enough QB to overcome all these errors (he is not) and we had made the playoffs, then TD/MM would have gotten grief even if this team was winning and Bledsoe produces Ws in Dallas.

Andre should definitely be in. However, the likelihood of him getting in stands at approximately 34.5%.

Just after he boarded the bus, three teens playing hooky from Tottenville High School pulled a cruel prank, cops said.
Good thing they were playing hooky and not in school where some renegade teacher might have been forced to resort to some inappropriate means of controlling them, say by taping their mouths shut.
Who has real pictures of themselves..
