  1. This was hilarious, from this past weekends Saturday Night Live...if you are a "Louie" fan, you will really appreciate it! http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/news/a435809/louis-ck-spoofs-lincoln-on-saturday-night-live-watch-video.html
  2. Actually, that could be pretty funny.... the gang comes across some random celebrity who is now a zombie...I like it!
  3. Maybe so...as long as we don't see zombie-Shane jumping over garbage cans on his motorcycle...
  4. That is what makes him a guy I would not want owning my team. His ego is as responsible for their failures as much as anything, and his ego has played a large part in so much of the ineptitude on the sidelines and on the field. Now, if the question was, would you rather have JJ own your team, or not have a team, sure, I will back Jerry Jones. But, there are other owners who spend plenty of money, win as much, if not more, and they pretty much stay out of the way when it comes to making personnel decisions. Sure, it is great that he wants to win so bad. It may be great that he chewed somebody out...but they still keep losing.
  5. I thought that too...but then when they killed off Lori, and presumably Carol, I thought "budget cuts come to AMC". Incidentally, I didn't catch the whole thing, but on that silly "Talking Dead" show, afterwards, they had some woman (I am assuming a producer or some creative person from the show) saying that she didn't see any way the show could "only" last 7 seasons...I thought that was odd...was there ever any definitive kill date for Walking Dead? Personally, seven years sounds like more than enough... imagine a modern day Gunsmoke with zombies!
  6. Yup...I am starting to agree with this more and more. In 2010 when the Bills made the controversial Spiller pick, it was justified by saying that Spiller was a pick made for "a couple seasons from now" when, presumably, the offense was a little more automatic. So, late last season, Spiller, mainly because Freddie gets hurt, gets to show that he has transitioned. and is ready to be a force...the way this season started out, Spiller looked like a true superstar...he gets banged up, the offense sputters, and now, he and Jackson are both healthy, yet Spiller barely touches the ball. I know, Spiller is "too small" to be an every down back...and Fred Jackson is an awesome RB. But, here, Chan has his hand picked toy to play with, and he (Chan) is obviously smart enough to know the passing game is somewhat limited...yet he can't come up with more plays to let Spiller do his thing? There were a couple of games last year, and then last week (Titans game) where I think Gailey contributed as much to the loss as anything, with his stubborn refusal to run the ball, when the team was actually runnig the ball pretty well. It's almost like he doesn't plan on having any luck on running the ball, so when they do run it well, he doesn't recognize it. I forget who they were playing last year, but it was after Jackson was hurt, and CJ was the starter...he had about 8 or 9 runs in the first half for about 60 yards, and only carried the ball twice in the second half...it was anotehr noble, close loss..afterwards Chan said something like "Well, we didn't run the ball as much in the second half, because we weren't getting the kind of production we needed from the running game...." I just remember, for the first time, thinking "WTF is he talking about?" Against the Titans last week, Jackson and Spiller both averaging 5-7 yards a carry, our offensive genius of a coach gives them 19 carries between them, and has Fitz throw 35 times...it just seems, sometimes, Chan wants to win the way he wants to win, rather than win any way he can. That rediculous Brad Smith pass agaist the Cardinals, when the team should have been trying to run the clock out, just crystalizes it... For all his corn-pone "I'm just an old fashioned coach who would always prefer to run the ball", he sure seems enamored with putting too much of the game on his limited QB's shoulders. We all know, as I am sure Gailey does too, that the Bills aren't as stocked as some teams on offense...but I also think they are not as bad as they are made to look either.
  7. Ironic, isn't it, that Romney's campaign found new life when he re-created himself, yet again, as a centrist Republican...maybe there was a need for one, but many people, even Republcans don't want it defining their party.
  8. Well, if Chuck Norris' promise of a "1,000 years of darkness" doesn't scare everyone to vote for Romney, I am not sure anything will.
  9. Hope you are right! The writers seemed very conscious, in this new season, to give Carol a bit more of an identity, rather than that of the greiving mother...seems like she found her place in the group.
  10. The Andrea character was, for me, is far more annoying than any of the other female characters...
  11. Uh...oh...I can feel another season of "we have to find Carol...I won't rest until we find Carol"...."We can't risk the whole group for Carol"..."Didn't we learn anything from the season we spent looking for Sophia?"....should be fun! As for T-Dog...he was a really weak character...poorly written. One of those characters that is just there as a plot device... like the old guy who got killed last season (already forgot his name), you knew he was going to "bite-it" (or should I say "be bit") once his character took a stance against the group, about being decent to the prisoner guys...that was to remind us that he had a personality, and, make us feel sad that he was gone.. pretty gruesome kill, but dramatically pretty thin. Once of the backround characters gets more face time, and more lines, you might as well slap the red shirt on them..they are zombie meat.
  12. I am pretty done with it too... it is just embarassing...every week they try it, it becomes a little less effective....2nd and long in the red-zone? Okay, now make that 3rd and long! Just dumb. Btw- you are incorrect about one thing...the Bills, since Gailey introduced the wild-cat to the Bills, I believe, have attempted two passes...both were picked off...
  13. Don't know about what happens in the comics...but in terms of happenings... tonight's' episode was pretty happening....wow! AJ should be pleased!
  14. I am hardly a Fitz guy...but I think he played his best game of the season today...got his ass kicked by a really good defense, and kept them in the game most of the day with accurate short-mid passes...something he hasn't done all year...even in the three wins. Fitz may have found his way back to his "okay" form the last couple games, as opposed to his awful form. As for the "40 touches" thing...you didn't really believe that did you? Spiller should have been the featured back today, IMO. The best way to beat an aggressive defense is with speed....Spiller has that. And please, dear god, scrap the drive- momentum killing wild cat Chan! It is embarrassing....it is like, one day, the Bills will get a big play out of it, and then Chan can say "see...thats why we have been running the wild cat for three years...it was all for that one amazing play!"

  16. Good point...but a QB picked in the first round is not always worthy of a first round pick. Remember JP Losman? Had he been picked in the third round, or thereabouts (where Tom Modrak and other NFL personel people had him rated), who knows how different things might have turned out. Being picked in the first round, automatically raises the bar on any player. A franchise, then, has to make a judgement on a player quick... I guess the important thing is just don't draft the best QB available in the first round, because you need a QB... it seems like nowadays, more and more teams are making that mistake. Guys like Luck, Griffin and Newton are few and far between...
  17. Could it be that they are a bunch of free-loaders looking for handouts? And it might be, if he had gotten the "money laundering" stimulus package he had wanted! You are learning.
  18. Gonna watch this later tonight...I expected it would be pretty good... btw- have only had the NFLN for about 6 weeks...it isn't much better (in some ways worse) that ESPN, but "Football Life" has been great...loved the one about Steve McNair last week...
  19. While I don't hold out a lot of hope that the Bills win this weekend, I will be more surprised if they get pasted like they did against the 49ers and Pats, than I will be if they hang with the Texans for a while...you say 45-3 Texans, I am going to say 31-17 Texans. I am one who believes the Bills problems are as much mental as they are physically sucking. And, as hard as it is to see it, I do think the defense will be noticeably improved by the end of the season...bye week is a good place to pick it up.
  20. 1968 I believe. I know you are a Hank Sr fan (as am I)...the guy who wrote "Psycho" (Leon Payne) also wrote "Lost Highway", which Hank Sr covered...that is one of my favorite Hank Sr songs...ironically, one of the few songs (other than the hymns/religious tunes) that Hank didn't write. "Psycho" has been recorded, since, by a few people, Elvis Costello most notably. But none of the other versions take you there...if you just close your eyes and listen, without the fan-made youtube video, it is almost like watching a really scary movie....Noacks voice, and the kind of warbly sound give it a cinematic quality...you absolutely believe that Noack is the psycho in the song without overdoing it... I paid $50 for a copy of this song on 45, years ago. Leon Payne was apparently inspired to write this song after the Charles Whitman UT tower shootings, here in Austin... Payne was blind, and attended the Austin School for the Blind.
  21. Listen to the words man! This guy would have Dexter Morgan quivering in a corner... Happy Halloween!
  22. Okay...in fairness to Mario Williams, this article was posted after the Houston media article, Mario says he is happy in Buffalo: http://wgr550.com/tw...-drive/14667344 "Williams doesn’t want any fans in Houston or in Buffalo to think he doesn’t want to be where he is now, “I’m here now and I’m ecstatic about it and we need to make the best of it, but there was never an offer from the general manager, it was a one way door that was opened.”
  23. I am not a Williams hater, though, living in TX, I wasn't convinced he was the game changer we Bills fans thought they were getting. That said, the article posted on the front, with the interview given to the Houston media is pretty bad, in a Bills inferiority complex sort of way. He goes out of his way to insure Houston fans that he didn't want to be a free agent, but wasn't given a choice....says he loved playing in Houston...never mentions he is happy to be in Buffalo (c'mon lie a little Mario) and, honestly, he says he doesn't care what fans think...apparently, unless they are Houston fans...I think Bills fans have been excessively harsh after 7 games...but man, the guy is not much on PR.
