Buftex

God, I miss the days when the Bills were contenders...if I go up to Buffalo for a game, it is normally for my mom's birthday (Oct 17- Bills @NY Giants), Thanksgiving (Bills on the road @NY Jets)...my only option this year is the dreaded meaningless final home game, on Christmas Eve against Denver...I have been to some crummy games, in Buffalo over the years...I went to the last game of the season last year, against the Pats...freezing, and a miserable game...

Wow...I guess we just have very different interpretations on character. He is superior to the reporter...he is the friggin' president of the United States...he just didn't feel compelled to remind the interviewer, on the air. We had a president, before this one, who was smug and supremely confident in his ignorance on many things...and he wasn't afraid to say it...I guess that was somehow more preferable? From your take, it looks like you are leaning toward Donald Trump in 2012? You don't consider yourself a leader, do you? Or just one with a deadly attitude? Maybe you should say that it takes very little for you to judge someone's character, because you are judgmental by nature?

I guess that is why I don't get it. You thought it was funny that they ran the part of the clip, after the interview was over, where the president admonishes the reporter. If he was the "holier than thou" guy you suggest, wouldn't he have done it during the interview? We all know that George W Bush was not well liked by many, but he never was disrespected, face to face, by members of the media, the way Obama has been. Did you see the interview that Bill O'Riley did with the president during the Super Bowl pre-game. It was downright rude. Obama rolled with it. People who like him, admired his calmness...people who dislike him (like you) characterized him as being a kitty. He speaks up here, and he is being "superior". Whatever... As for your experience with Hollywood celebrity, you shouldn't make assumptions...

Eh...I guess I just don't see it... Good stuff, from the resident "whiny little B word" of TSW...takes one to know one!

He was respectful enough of the reporter to wait until it was over...I would think you, of all people here, would appreciate some decorum. I am always trying to find redeeming qualities about you, but you make it difficult... It's beyond hopeless for LA!

Now those, I like!

Sabres will be in Europe the first few weeks of the season, I believe...

Looks like all the leaks were wrong!

Bills open with KC: http://www.nfl.com/schedules/interactive?module=HP_cp3#/team=BUF No thanksgiving game...no prime-time for the Bills

They have traditionally hosted the opening Thursday night game...since they have been opening on Thursdays the last few years. That would be on 9/8 this year...the opening Sunday game is on 9/11, which makes, to me anyways, a Jets vs Giants game, or a Jets/Giants vs Redskins, a natural...the NFL is normally all over pageantry and nationalism... They now do 2 MNF games opening night...

Even the president is calling out little Ricky... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/19/obama-let-me-finish_n_850990.html?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl1|sec1_lnk3|57134

Wow...seemed like the Jets vs Giants was a natural for opening night, on the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the WTC. Or, Giants vs Redskins...I guess the NFL is thinking different, if what you say is true.

He may not care about being politically correct, but his stance on almost every social issue changes with whatever way he thinks the wind is blowing...that hs ie getting so much run (I realize it is very early still) as any kind of serious candidate is rediculous...it is rare that I would be on the same side of an issue as Karl Rove!

I use the Shake Weight all the time...and I still keep porking on the pounds!

Found it interesting to read, Palmer organized a similar workout for Bengals players...but it wasn't Carson Palmer...it was his brother Jordan Palmer...

Yes, but I think they are wrong, or, the Sabres game is going to be "JIP" (joind in progress)...NHL.Com is listing the Rangers & Capitals as the primary game on Versus... To further the confusion, the Buffalo Sabres official website lists the game on Versus on the "click here to enter" page, but once you go in, it doesn't list Versus as a carrier for the game: http://sabres.nhl.com/index.html btw: NY Rangers site lists Versus for their game!

You and Chef, the proud papas!

I am guessing that means they will show the Sabres game between periods of the Rangers game, but it won't be their primary game...and then the end of the Sabres game, as it starts 30 minutes later. Pretty lame...

So, the GR55 website says that Game 4 of the Sabres/Flyers series will be on Versus, but NHL.com does not show that Versus is carrying the game...of course, Versus web-site merely lists "NHL Hockey" for the time-slot tomorrow night...I am inclined to trust NHL.Com more than GR, but I don't know...anyone have anything definitive? NHL.com says that Versus will be showing the NY Rangers/Washington Capitals game. btw- if you don't like the way that Versus handles the NHL, get used to it: http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=6389351

On the fence on this one... The difference between the shut-out Ryan Miller of game 1, and the not so special Miller of games 2 & 3 is the performance of the defense. In game 1, everyone was "selling themselves out" on the defensive end of things, but that dedication hasn't been there the last two games...but I agree, Miller isn't the game saver he is portrayed as, most nights. I wouldn't mind seeing Enroth either. If only because the team seems to respond well to goalie changes. Laviolette has figured this out with his squad, but Lindy isn't as likely to give Miller as quick of a hook. If things continue the way they have, in game 4, I say, go with Enroth.

You realize, after taking this anti-government funds stance, to appease the tea party, Perry has repeatedly asked for federal funds...I have nothing against asking for aid for something like devastating fires, but lets be honest about what is going on here, and many other Republican controled states...

States that have the educational problems that Texas has really shouldn't be turing down help...

What if Texas had seceded as Governor Perry had wanted? Education crisis doesn't warrant him getting money that's just sitting there from the federal government. Who needs the federal government? Texas certainly doesn't. Oh, but now Perry thinks it's fine to ask President Obama for federal assistance b/c an effective response to the wildfires are "beyond the capabilities of the state" which flies in the face of his "we-don't-need-federal-government!" argument. Another tough talker who isn't so tough... http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/18/us-texas-wildfires-idUSTRE73H3QL20110418

Wow.... That is more dramatic than anything Hollywood could have produced...

Good call...Willie Totten...he was the guy who threw passes to Jerry Rice, at Mississippi State...started one "scab" game for the Bills, in 1987, IIRC. I won't say it was Ralph Wilson, but from what I have gathered over the years, that Lou Saban did have a problem with black QB's. He wasn't keen on James Harris, I will defer to KRC for that kind of info. That attitude was more prevalent back in Sabans day... That said, I don't get the feeling that Buddy Nix, or Chan Gailey would be uncomfortable with Cam Newton, or any black QB playing for the Bills...I can't say I feel as confident about that when it comes to the fans. I don't think Bills fans are any more bigoted than other football fans, but I know there are Bills fans whose head would explode if they saw a black man playing for the Bills...unless they started winning.
