  1. Van was the play by play radio guy, localy. As all the games were broadcast on national television, picutre with Van Miller doing the audio is not as easy to come by as one might think.
  2. How do you mean? Not sure about the price (who is saying 1.75B? Most predictions I have seen are saying 875 mill to 1.25B), but owning an NFL team would be one of the handful of fool-proof investments somebody with that kind of money can make. Smallest market thing really means nothing...no team loses money in the NFL. Their perfect socialist model it is run on, prevents that. The only way it would be a bad investment is if America continues to succumb to nancy-boy soccer, and interest in the NFL plummets...that isn't going to happen in Terry Pegula's lifetime...
  3. I am suing you for stealing my likeness!
  4. Cool... just like that tan-lined butt! I kinda like the hockey chick too! Hillary Knight, #56. Marshawn Lynch...if you are into that kinda thing! Venus looks pretty nice too...you can safely go throgh the first four slides without seeing any dudes!
  5. Agreed...but going to a team with some hope will make all the difference in his performance. If he gets traded to a **** team, I am not sure his effort and heart will be in it...he is/was a great player, but his frustration level seemed to affect his performance greatly his last season in Houston, when it was obvious they werent' going anywhere. A few teams I hadn't thought of in there...Chargers might be intriguing... pair him up with Keenan Allen, and a seemingly revived Rivers, they might be a pretty decent team. And who wouldn't want to play in San Diegeo? Falcons might be a good fit too.
  6. Never heard of her until a few minutes ago..a surfer chick I am guessing...homina, homina, homina....picture #9! http://espn.go.com/espn/photos/gallery/_/id/11143740/image/1/venus-williams-bodies-want
  7. I am sitting this one out, I think...I typically give any HBO show a shot (they have a pretty strong batting average IMO), but this one just doesn't compell me to want to watch at all...it looks like one of those "Lost" (which I haven't watched mind you) kind of puzzle shows...keeps people talking, guessing...but ultimately, it seems the payoff is in the build-up...not in the resolution. I feel compelled to recommend the show "Rectify" (again) to anyone looking for something more grounded in reality, that features oustanding acting, great dialouge and a compelling story... it is on the Sundance Channel. The first season is only 6 episodes, they are about 4 episodes into the second season... it is about a guy who gets released from prison, after 19 years on death-row... it isn't all the cliches you might expect from a storyline like that...just about him trying to assimilate back into society...it is a great show. It was created by some of the folks who worked on "Breaking Bad". It isn't a fast action show, so if that is your criterion, it may not be for you. I am pretty sure it is on Netflix too... strange, we live in a time when there are so many great shows on telelvison, but so many awful ones too...the golden age indeed!
  8. Yeah, I would think the Panthers would be a good spot for him..they are really, really thin at the position,and have what is percieved to be at least, an elite young QB. I honestly can't believe they haven't really addressed the WR a bit more already. Cleveland could really use him too...but if he has any say as to where he is traded, i can't imagine him wanting to go there... Manziel could be great, or he really could fall flat on his big schnoz.. I know there are better teams, with better playoff chances than the Panthers and Browns, but how much are the 49ers going to be willing to give for Andre Johnson?. I honeslty think his tank is much closer to empty than it is half full...but who knows?
  9. Celtics? I so hope this happens... LeBron back to the Cavs...
  10. I would assume Rivers has the inside track on the starting job, riught now, based on his experience, but he could lose it, if Bradham outperforms him.
  11. Just curious...on what do you base this comment? And not to get all Springsteen bashy...but there are certainly a lot more tawdry stories out there about the Boss, than McCartney, that would portray him as, you say, "an arrogant douchebag". As an aside....I long for a world when good muscians were just good musicians, and being able to dance, act, etc etc I have nothing against Timberlake (I could honestly care less about him), but the fact that he is a great dancer doesn't really do much for me...
  12. Wake me up for the introduction of new Buffalo Bills owners, Terry and Kim Pegula...if it doesn't happen, don't bother waking me up...
  13. <p>Ok...but in my mind at least, how can you have a return longer than the field of play...if a guy catches a kickoff 4 yards deep in his own endzone, isn't the defacto line of scrimmage his own goal line?<br /> <br>
  14. Awright K9, then can someone explain to me how there are 104 yard kick returns?
  15. That is a bull **** list..but I guess we have had kind of a bull **** history! Shame on ESPN...surprised they didn't throw in Bruce's near safety of Randall Cunningham that turned into a 100 yard touchdown pass for the Eagles in 1990... or Ronnie Harmon's drop in the endzone in the 1989 playoff game.... Most memorable positive plays: #1- Agree with Kirby Jackson, the Jeff Wright batted ball, landing in the arms of Carlton Bailey for the pick 6 has got to be #1! One of the most intense defensive games I have ever watched, from an X's & O's standpoint, with a Super Bowl on the line, and a field full of future HOFers....decided on one play, by two scrubs! Exhilarating! #2- OJ goes for his 2003 yards against the Jets... if it was anybody but OJ, that would have been on ESPN's list. #3- Bills end the Dolphins curse, opening day, the Bills score two TD's in the final three minutes to end the Dolphins 20 game winning streak over them. I guess there wasn't one specific play you can point to that encompassed the win...but the sight of Bills fans storming the field, and tearing down the goal-posts (something you only saw in college ball from time to time) is still etched in my brain...of course, I was there! #4- The bandits aforementioned Jim Kelly lunge into the endzone, as the seconds ticked off the clock, to beat Miami on the road, to start the 1989 season for the "bickering Bills'! They suffered their ups and downs in that 1989 season, but it was the launching pad for some pretty great years afterward... #5- I was never a Doug Flutie guy, but I think, post-Jim Kelly era, Fluties end-around td scramble, on a busted play, final seconds of the game for for the win, against the Jaguars was one of the single most exciting plays, post-Kelly era..give the little dude his props...mullet and all! #6- Sam Adams rumbling for a touchdown, in a laugher, as the Bills destroy the Patriots in 2003.... a sign of things to come? Nah....but it was fun for a week! Cover of Sports Illustrated, during the final days when that still meant something! Honorable mention: 1964 AFC Championship game...Mike Stratton levels (future Bills teammate) Keith Lincoln and the "hit heard round the world"! I would rank it higher, maybe even #1, but it happened about 3 months before I was born. It may be the most storied and legendary play in team history...the fact that almost all of us know what it is, just by its' nickname ("hit heard round the world") speaks volumes. The Chargers, at home, were having their way with the Bills, who were lackluster and flat... as legend has it, Stratton leveled Lincoln, turned his lights off, and, at the same time, flicked the lights on for the Bills, as they dominated after that...and won their first franchise championship....
  16. Dr Darius... We must be reading/hearing different thing in regards to the Kiko injury. Pretty much every analyst, on a national level, framed their disscusion of the injury with a comment to the effect of "I had high hopes for the Bills, but this injury tempers my outlook on the Bills..." You really haven't heard any of this?
  17. I have no reason not to believe that Sapp is an !@#$. But I agree with your overall point, if not all the specifics. Yup..that is part of the job. Nobody seems to be denying that he told her that he did not like being referred to as "boy" or "boys", and she expalained her reason for continuing to do so. Her reasoning sounds reasonable. But, if she is trying to get a tip from somebody, and continues to do something she was asked not to, I think it is reasonable for him not to tip. I say this as someone who always over-tips, no matter how awful the service...
  18. I am sure these idiots have no idea that they did anything wrong.....
  19. So you have a "Bush/Cheney 2000" sticker on your car?
  20. Thanks for sharing...awesome stuff.... I remember walking into one of those "go go girl" joints (I think it was Radice's) when I was in 9th grade....take a walk on the wild side...being a catholic grammer school kid, I was sure I was going to hell afterwards....distinctly remember a dancer leaning over. putting her arms on my shoulders and covering my face with her long hair...she smelled like a combo of Black Label and french fries...
  21. I will give you, "Roxanne" was a really cool song at the time...it was unlike anything else you would hear on the radio... I know Copeland is a great drummer, etc etc...but my ears just want to cringe everytime I hear Stings voice... as somebody recently joked, the words "net neutrality" are the only two words more bore inducing than the words "featuring Sting". I realize, a lot of people love them...but I just can't deal with them for more than a song or two...to each his own...I have a similar aversion to the Beach Boys.
  22. In all deference to all the various Bills helmets, but the Bills have sucked pretty hard in all incarnations. Now when I was old enough to have any concept of the Bills and football, I was 7...1972. I remember vividly the disdain that Bills fans had in 1974 when the Bills changed from standing, to charging Buffalo.. I liked it a lot! When they changed from white to red helmets in 1984, I hated it...and I think a very vocal segment of Bills fans did as well...we just didn't have the internet to make our opinions known. Unfortunately, those ugly red helmets were the only saving grace for the Tom Donohoe era uniform change in 2002...though, I will admit, the all-blue uniforms with the red helmets kinda grew on me... but for me, it isn't even close...this current look is the best of all!
  23. Thanks plenzmd... I didn't realize that. Thanks plenzmd... I didn't realize that. Thanks plenzmd... I didn't realize that.
  24. Yeah..I am a little puzzled by that one.... he is a pretty solid vetran defensemen...he had a rough year this past season, because the team was so awful, but I have no doubt he gives the Penguins a solid year. He is a good player, I am surprised the Sabres didn't even try to get anything for him. Nothing...appparently, he wanted out, cuz the team was so bad...don't blame him, but he is top 2 or 4 defensemen on most teams...and he is still on the younger side of old... Like Moulson returning...somebody has to score a goal now and again... I love Ott...my favorite Sabre in a while.
