Buffalo 20 Houston 13

I'm not sure why this type of info is newsworthy or would surprise anyone. I'm sure there are cliques in every locker room and there are players who rarely speak to each other. I'm not saying it's to the level of TO & McNabb, but I'm sure it exists. To think that in order to be successful, teams must have 53 players who hold hands and sing kumbaya is far fetched. All the HC needs to do, is keep it from getting out of control like what is happening in Philly.

I can't account for every season, but during most of Metzelaars tenure as a Bill, Adam Lingner was the long snapper. Also, Metzelaars was a big boy...at least 6'6". No way Dorenbos was bigger than him.

Equally pitiful...Jacksonville fans. They covered up thousands of seats to reduce the stadium capacity and still can't sell out the home opener.....and oh by the way, they have a decent team to go see. http://www.jaguars.com/story/4635.asp

I'd cut the nfl some slack on this one. It's not an every day occasion when an NFL team has to find a place to play their 8 home games on a months notice. Also, I'm sure Benson is being a pain in the A$$ trying to figure out a way to maximize his revenues in a year where he will have no home games.

I looked up my post from the last time a thread like this was posted... "I've said this since DB signed on with Dallas. I don't like Jones, I don't like the "Big Tuna" and I don't like anyone who plays for the Cowboys. Therefore, I hope that DB has a season a 100 times worst than last year!"

The info you are looking for can be found at... http://www.thepreseasonismeaningless.com

I get a chuckle from the "why not play Peters at <name a position>" threads. That being said, his play at LT during the preseason has been a pleasant surprise. I don't believe he is ready to be a starter, but if he continues his improvement, he could challenge for a spot in 2006. PS I love the idea that he should drop his first name and simply be known as "Peters".

LA...I agree 100%. Since this happened, the mayor has done nothing but piss and moan about how EVERYBODY ELSE is f**ing up, but not once talking about his own inadequacies as mayor of the city of New Orleans.

He's on the PUP list. The Bills can only have 8 players on the PS. There are 9 listed. bb.com f*** up!

NEW ORLEANS - Four days after Hurricane Katrina struck, the National Guard arrived in force Friday with food, water and weapons, churning through the floodwaters in a vast truck convoy with orders to retake the streets and bring relief to the suffering. "The cavalry is and will continue to arrive," said Lt. Gen. Steven Blum of the National Guard. At the New Orleans Convention Center, some of the thousands of storm victims awaiting their deliverance applauded, threw their hands heavenward and screamed, "Thank you, Jesus!" as the camouflage-green trucks and hundreds of soldiers arrived in this increasingly desperate and lawless city. "Lord, I thank you for getting us out of here," said Leschia Radford. But there was also anger and profane catcalls. "Hell no, I'm not glad to see them. They should have been here days ago. I ain't glad to see 'em. I'll be glad when 100 buses show up," said 46-year-old Michael Levy, whose words were echoed by those around him yelling, "Hell, yeah! Hell yeah!" "We've been sleeping on the ... ground like rats," Levy said. "I say burn this whole ... city down."

Excellent point and something that should have definitely been part of the city's disaster plan.

Good thing they re-signed Hofher to a new contract. Either find a coach who can make this team competitive(a .500 record would be GREAT right about now) or shitcan the program and pickup 1A hockey and lacrosse.

SDS...I think this is a good idea. I know a lot of people are opposed to sub-forums, but I think the baseball forum has worked out okay, along with several other small forums. Like everything else, when changes are made, they take time to get used to. The main benefit of this is that people who are opposed to these types of posting, never have to see them on the main forum.

I didn't post this with a political agenda in mind. I posted it because of all the hundreds of things he could be reporting on and instead he chose this.

He was on location and of course there had to be a shot of him with the corpse in the background. Hey Shep... you could have been a martyr and loaded up the corpse in your fox news truck and delivered it to the governors office demanding an explanation for why this body was lying alongside the interstate.

He just did a report on fox news ranting about a dead man lying along the interstate and nobody is doing anything about it. Mr. Smith....YOU ARE A FUGGIN' MORON. There are people who are ALIVE still trapped in their houses, there are people ALIVE walking up and down that same interstate looking for help, there are thousands of people with short tempers who are ALIVE at the Superdome waiting to be evacuated... but you want somebody to take care of this person who died. You f***king sensationalist jerkoff, I'd like to come down there and toss you into the toxic waters head first.

The folks in the Superdome are heading to the Astrodome. I'm a little puzzled by the statement in bold... NEW ORLEANS - At least 25,000 of Hurricane Katrina's refugees, a majority of them at the New Orleans Superdome, will travel in a bus convoy to Houston and will be sheltered at the Astrodome, which hasn't been used for professional sporting events in years. ADVERTISEMENT click here Evacuees with special problems already have been evacuated to hospitals in other Louisiana cities, but the 23,000 people now confined to the stuffy, smelly Superdome, as well as some other refugees will go to Houston, about 350 miles away. The marathon bus convoy should take two days, officials said. "Our view is the move to the Astrodome is temporary," said William Lokey, chief coordinator for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. "We're buying time until we can figure something out." Ann Williamson, secretary of the Louisiana Department of Social Services who is working on the evacuation plans, said, "The remarkable offer from Texas did not have an end date." FEMA will provide 475 buses for the transfer, and the Astrodome's schedule has been cleared through December for housing evacuees, said Kathy Walt, a spokeswoman for Texas Gov. Rick Perry. I didn't realize the Astrodome was still being used?

I didn't know there was such a thing in soccer as a game that "means something"?

For those familiar with New Orleans, I know the French Quarter is not under water(yet), but what about the area around the convention center which I believe is known as the warehouse district?

Here's a VERY small bit of good news for New Orleans. Very little rain over the next ten days. Hopefully this will help with the rescue efforts and not adding any more water to a situation that just doesn't need it... http://www.weather.com/activities/other/ot...pnav_undeclared

To repair damage to one of the levees holding back Lake Pontchartrain, the Army Corps of Engineers said it planned to use heavy-duty Chinook helicopters to drop 3,000-pound sandbags Wednesday into the 500-foot gap in the failed floodwall. But the agency was having trouble getting the sandbags and dozens of 15-foot highway barriers to the site because the city's waterways were blocked by loose barges, boats and large debris. Officials said they were also looking at a more audacious plan: finding a barge to plug the 500-foot hole. It could take close to a month to get the water out of the city. If the water rises a few feet higher, it could also wipe out the water system for the whole city, said New Orleans' homeland security chief, Terry Ebbert. "The challenge is an engineering nightmare," Paul Accardo, a police spokesman. "We are looking at 12 to 16 weeks before people can come in," Mayor Ray Nagin said on ABC's "Good Morning America, "and the other issue that's concerning me is have dead bodies in the water. At some point in time the dead bodies are going to start to create a serious disease issue." ....I think it's safe to say that the Bills game versus New Orleans will not be happening in the Superdome on 10/2.

How about stop his bitching and acknowledge the efforts of everyone trying to solve this problem working under extreme pressure.
