Cowgirl

Totally agree CS!! My husband and I fought about Doug Flutie the very first day we met over 13 years ago!! It was our first argument and we continue to have the same argument at least twice a year! I call it our 'Bi-annual Flutie Fight'!! He hates Doug Flutie and I LOVE Doug so it gets ugly!!! It's so futile to even discuss but somehow.....we get into out of the blue............sigh............. But for me, A Cowboys fan, I never took notice of the Bills until Doug Flutie started playing. I became an NFL fan during the 1994 Superbowl. The Bills last one...........sorry! I started watching the Bills when Doug took over at QB. I learned about him via 'Sportscenter' and then started watching the Bills. I met my husband in 2000 so, as I say, I became a 'Bills fan by proxy.' I pull hard for them and the only NFL game I've ever attended was the Cincy game with the HUGE comeback win!! I had the best time!! Anyway, my husband HATES the Cowboys........I kinda understand that.....I love my Boys first and foremost but I pull for the Buffalo Bills and cry when they suffer those unbelievable gut wrenching losses!!! My guy just tanks...............it's bleak. I always have a fall back team to cheer for, even though they haven't done that well for years, I still love Romo and watching them play. But my guy lives and dies with the Bills. I swear they have aged him!!!! They break his heart every year but he loves them, as do all Bills fans. But I agree with you........the last time they were 'fun' to watch was when Flutie was behind Center. Since then..........ooooohhhhh some agonizing seasons!!! For me personally, Trent Edwards was by far the WORST QB I've seen for the Bills since DF. He was unwatchable!!! I was thrilled when they cut him. The QB position remains a huge question mark to this day. I have no idea what to expect this season. But I'm very nervous.......... Kevin Kolb???? Ugh................ GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rob's House.......I agree with everything you're saying. I love when that happens! I especially like this line: ''I prefer a guy who plays ball control & pulls it out in the clutch to a guy who puts up numbers but loses'' My first thought when reading that was Drew Bledsoe!! He put up numbers...lots of bright shiny numbers but in the clutch he was worthless. I spent most of Drew's career screaming 'Get rid of the ball!!!!!!!!!!!!' He was maddening! He held onto the ball longer than anyone I can remember then he'd get sacked....over and over again........Ugh........... When Flutie lined up behind Center, I just believed he could win. More importantly, Doug believed! He was confident and fearless. Man, watching him was a treat!

.....yeah....mine from this morning got moved too..........oh well........so it goes.

Speaking of off season issues.......WHOA!!!!!!! Cops search Aaron Hendandez' house in murder probe: http://www.csnne.com/blog/patriots-talk/hernandez-questioned-murder-investigation I don't know what will come of this but I hope Aaron had nothing to do with this! Scary...........

But some of that offseason drama was fun!! Whitner gettin' tazed, Marshawn driving away from a hit 'n run with weave dangling in his grill..............also, didn't Marshawn steal $20 from a Cop's wife?!! Good times............... Any of you all watching the NBA Finals?? I saw the end of game 6. Man, those dudes are HUGE!!!!!!!!!!! I only watch College Hoops so I'm not used to seeing such big guys. That was quite a battle tonight. It was kinda fun to watch. Bilz has been watching the entire NBA playoffs....only not live. He records it 'cause I'm such a hag that I won't let him watch it live... I suck! I pull the ol', 'I'll go in the bedroom and watch TV' or 'I'll stay with my Mom....' I'm trying REALLY hard to get my mind ready to watch game 7 on Thursday. A nice chick would let her fella watch the final game!! I'm gonna try.............(but I don't want to...........)

Paul is 70. That's about what I thought. Yesterday was Barry Manilow's birthday. He is also 70!! I could NOT believe that!!! I had such a mad crush on him when I was 14!! Dang...he must've been pushin' 40 then!! Bob Dylan's 72....somehow I thought Bobbie would be older......or dead! I'm glad he's still around........

Dude! Take a breath! The thread is about the Pats signing Tebow.....so folks are commenting about the guy. I don't think anyone is 'in love with him' or guilty of losin' their Bills fan card. You're funny.............. Of course people bring up his College career 'cause it demonstrates what he's capable of. He has only played about one season in the NFL and yeah, he (and his team) won a Playoff game. I'm just sayin' no one knows what he's capable of in the NFL because he hasn't really played since his brief time in Denver! Geez............. bbb, EXACTLY!!! Some guys just have 'it'!! You're so right!! I swear, John Elway was the only guy in third and long that I KNEW without a doubt, would pick up a first down!! Once it was 3rd and 26, in the snow, and Elway threw a bomb and they moved the chains!! He was automatic!! Man, he was fun to watch!! Flutie totally had 'it'!! My Mom is not nor has she ever been an NFL fan but when I would ask her to watch a play Doug Flutie made, she would rush to the TV!! I think that says something!! A person who wasn't even a football fan could appreciate Doug Flutie!!

Tebow was a 'bad player'??? Based on what??? Wiki- Tebow became the Gators' starting quarterback during the 2007 season when he became the first college sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. In 2008, Tebow led Florida to a 13–1 record and its second national championship in three years, and was named the offensive MVP of the national championship game. The Gators again went 13–1 in 2009, his senior year. At the conclusion of his college career, he held the Southeastern Conference's all-time records in both career passing efficiency and total rushing touchdowns, appearing second and tenth (respectively) in the NCAA record book in these categories. That sounds like a GREAT player. But what do I know?? Those are just FACTS.......... He had played 3 games in '10 when he took over for a 1-4 Bronco team. That would basically make him a 'rookie'. People who say Tebow sucks give the Broncos 'Team' credit for the Playoff run. That same 'TEAM', that same 'DEFENSE' that was 1-4 with Orton. The Broncos got beaten by 'an actually good team the Pats'.. So what were the Steeler??? Tim Tebow...a 'bad' player....a Rookie.....got 316 yards against the Steelers D in the Playoffs. Pleassssssse............... There are 16 pages, well 17 now, of this 'crap' because people will NEVER change their opinion about Tebow. So discussing it is futile. I know that...you ALL know that....but here we are. Sigh............. I'm tryin' to walk away but you guys make me sooooooooooooo mad 'cause you're BLIND!!!!!!!! ....and WRONG!!! Also, why do Tebow fans get called basically stupid idiots??? 'Cult' Tebow lovers. Please. I love the NFL. Tebow was fun to watch. He hasn't really gotten a chance to prove anything in the NFL. But he did have one of the best Rookie seasons a starter has ever had! He, along with his team, won a playoff game. Just sayin'..............not bad for a 'bad player'. And another thing.....The Bills would have won 'The Music City Nightmare' game had they started Doug Flutie!! Yeah...yeah....yeah..........The Bills were leading when pretty boy took a seat......blah......blah......blah.......BUT it was Flutie's to win or lose 'cause HE got them there! He was robbed!! (Hey...that's kinda a pun. Ha...Rob Johnson...'robbed') He won games! That's what he did! He was a winner, but he never got the chance! Pathetic. Plus........it was a forward pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lateral pass...............................Pleasssssssssssssssssse................ Peace.

Nellie, dude.....sell the kool-aid at a discount!! NOW!!! I fear this season's gonna be baaaaaaaaad.......mainly 'cuz......the Bills have no Quarterback!!! Kolb???.....Their season is basicalling hinging on Kevin Kolb.......sigh.................that's all I have to say about that..........

Ahhh.......thanks CB! That's sooo sweet. I appreciate it. It's difficult navigating around here but I'm making progress.......slowly....

CB, hold on! You've got me all wrong! The topic was Tebow....so I talked about watching him play. That is no reflection on my Quarterback preferences. None at all! Totally different topic..........Tebow wouldn't be a footnote in that discussion. My all time favorite Quarterback was Mr. John Elway........Tebow couldn't hold his jock strap! Just wanted to straighten that out.............I prefer a ramblin' man with a gun of an arm....Johnnie and Brett Farve. They were something! Being a Cowboys fan first and foremost (I'm a Bills fan by proxy...My husband's from WNY so I've grown fond of them over the years......but they're painful to watch.........) I dug Troy Aikman. He was accurate. He had a great arm but I found his game boring.............I much prefer Tony Romo!! Now there's 'what I like'. He can extend a play better than any QB playing in the League today. Sorry....I digress..........this is a Tebow thread.........carry on........... No way!! He stunk up the joint! 'Flutie Magic' was limited to the East Coast........ Did you enjoy watching Flutie play when he was a Bill??? You might have missed the Flutie era.......it was a long time ago. Your age isn't shown on your profile...........

I'm diggin' Marrone hard. Who else could they have gotten?? There didn't seem to be any takers..........Marrone is young and hungry. This is his big chance. What an opportunity for a young College coach!! I cannot wait to see what he does. Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh had previous NFL experience. This is true. But their most recent jobs before coming back to the NFL were in College.....and Man!!! Look at 'em now!! I'm hoping against hope that Marrone pulls a Harbaugh and turns this franchise around this season. Harbaugh did it his very first year....so it obviously can be done. My buddy Joma said that he felt the Bills entire orginzation got complacent and had a defeatest attitude. It did feel to me as well that even the coaches over the last 10 years didn't really Billieve the Bills could be 'winners'.... I'm hoping Marrone can break the spell over this franchise....that they'll have a winning attitude and not accept mediocrity anymore. A team's mindset and expectations can cripple them before the first game if they don't truly believe they can win. I hope Marrone instills confidence in his players. We shall see.............

'The hump' = Rob Johnson?? Seriously.......he should've started Doug Flutie in the 'Music City Nightmare'...............

Are you serious?? C'mon man!! ''they can also hurt a defense by making a play when the offense breaks down.'' Tebow's at his best when he improvises. Of course he's no Rodgers or RGIII but he can scramble with the best of 'em. To my point, I just thought he was fun to watch....that's all. If you don't think so, that's cool. I'm glad he gets another chance to play. Who knows how the Pats will use him if at all. We shall see. It just feels a little more exciting (to me) when he comes onto the field. It's a wild ride.....

The first and only podcast I've ever listened to is: http://www.widerightradio.com/ Oh it's gold!! Bennett on the West Coast and Riley on the East Coast. Two brothers talkin' Bills football. They are hysterical. The only problem is that their podcasts are erratic. It can be months before they post a new one. Here's another link: http://www.podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=36870&allEpisodes= They are a 'must listen' for Bills fans!! Check 'em out.........

Hmmmmm.........wonder what'll happen first?....one of you all wins this last post wins thread or the lottery.........

Steve, I LOVE reading that about Alonzo!! Man I hope it's true!! The Bills run defense has been basically non existent for years. I was a huge Puz fan but even I had to admit that the majority of his tackles were downfield.........wayyyyy downfield. I'd love the Bills to have a guy who could smack a running back and bring him to a complete stop at the line of scrimmage! BAM! Here's hoping...... Any good news about the Offense??? I really hope Chandler brings it this year. He's a huge, strong guy and I think he has so much potential. I hope he becomes the Bills version of Gronk. Again......here's hoping............ I got an email from Goose this morning. They sent him his password but it still doesn't work! He's soooooo frustrated. I just think it's so bizarre that he could post that first day over here then all of a sudden he couldn't...........What a mess.

All talk aside.........have you watched his games?? Did you enjoy them?? I watched Gator football just to see Tebow play 'cause it was a blast!! He was one of a kind. Thrilling...When he took over for Orton in Denver, I watched every game just to see him play. Thrilling.... Those comebacks against Miami and Chicago were thrilling to watch. I had a blast. You don't get to see games like that every week. I wish folks could be purely objective....Dude's fun to watch. Yep....kinda like Flutie was fun to watch. Doug Flutie was the main reason I even started watching the Bills. I never saw anything like him before. Thrilling....'Flutie Magic'......sigh.......those were the days.....YUM!! Watching Flutie was the last time I really enjoyed a Bills game.

Ohhhhh YUM!!! I LOVE that!!!...laughed so much I teared up!! Beautiful!! Whew........I needed that..........

I just got an email from Bobbie......He said he's waiting for the real thing. Hopefully the site will be back up soon. 'Til then.......no Bbob..........

Storytime with Cowgirl: So........I go to three counties and pick up specimens which I then process and take to Fed Ex in Lexington for shipment. I have to be there by 8:45pm. Tonight I left my last pick up and as sometimes happens........I was running late. Ugh! It's the worst feeling. The mad dash to Fed Ex. I have, however, NEVER missed a drop off in 3 years!! I had 15 minutes to get to Fed Ex and I really need about 25. I left Central Baptist Hospital and this chick in front of me was crawling along in the parking lot going ever so gently over the five or so speed bumps on the way to the exit. I had no time to wait.......I passed her on the left and plowed over those speed bumps goin' about 30. I turned toward downtown Lexington, on a Friday night, mind you! It was lookin' bleak!! I had 13 minutes! Tick....tick......tick......I started some lamaze breathing and just tried to calm down. I got lucky with the lights. They were green most of the way. I thought 'if I make it to Main Street by 8:40pm, I might just make it!!' I approached Main Streeet. It was 8:38pm. There was a dude in front of me. The light turned yellow and instead of turning left, the MFer stopped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I screamed, 'Why God!!!!!!!!!!!!' and I beat the steering wheel. I couldn't believe he freakin' stopped on yellow!!My window was rolled down as was his...Ruh....roh.......... He was not pleased with my outburst. I buried my face in my hands and continued with the lamaze breathing.........FINALLY the light turned green and 'ol dude wanted to punish me or something for being so impatient so he just sat there!!!!!! Are you kidding me??!!!!!!!!! He looked at me in his rear view mirror to make his point. Please!..........I just passed the jackhole on the right, pulled it left really sharp and fast in front of him and off I went. I got to Fed Ex at 8:46:23........ The chick at the counter whom I've known for years said, 'Don't worry.......you're fine.' WHEW!!!!!!!!!!! That was a close one!! When that happens, I start thinking of all the times during the day when I could have shaved 30 seconds or 2 minutes here or there..........it's exhausting! Football is a game or inches and my job is a game of seconds...........Charge! No wonder I've had a speeding ticket and 3 wrecks since I've had this job! It's rough playing beat the clock. I swear I hear the 'Mission Impossible' theme song playing in my head............ It's midnight and I still haven't calmed down...............breathe Cowgirl...........breathe.................. Later fellas.............

I emailed Bobbie a few times. I heard from him 2 days ago. I just asked him again to come over here and play.......... I heard from Goose and you all are right. He's still having verification problems............ Nellie.........I know!! You all should've mentioned that T-Jack got the boot!! Man, what a waste of a contract, ya know? That was pointless!! Horrible move by OBD!! Did you all hear that Ochocinco story?? Wild!! http://www.cnn.com/2...ad-johnson-jail I thought it was harsh! First da judge gives him community service and just because he slapped his lawyers butt, she got miffed and threw him in jail!!...It seemed impulsive to me. Poor Ouch-o.

Bless his heart! That's gotta be frustrating!! Hey Goose, if you're reading this, Good morning!! I hope you can post SOON! Later fellas...........

We'll be 'home' soon........this'll be an adventure! I am just so very grateful that Jethro Tull/ Anello started this thread and gave us all the opportunity to find each other. That was so thoughtful of him. I was going nuts without you guys!

Steve/JJ......I got an email from Hugo 2 days ago...It said, ''Connie. Just sit tight. We will resolve this ASAP.'' I'm confident he'll get the site up and running. He and his partner are really working hard on it.
