  1. I feel worst for his wife, because he should have shared his intentions with her - you can't just leave her to fend for your child like that. While I don't believe in this mission in any way, I don't think deserting is the way to go. I think this issue is a lot more complicated that people on this board seem to understand and I also think that more soldiers should question why they are being used as target practice for a mission that, by definition, was never going to happen. The Iraqis don't really care about democracy and if they did, they should have risen up - it wasn't worth the life of our brave soldiers. We should have learned that nation building is not a productive exercise and that we cannot create a reality to fit our own agendas after the Vietnam debacle - some conflicts are simply not worth being involved in. Has anyone ever heard of Saigon? Oh, I forgot, it is now called Ho Chi Minh City - and we sacrificed 57,000 lives for that.
  2. You were lucky. I live in NJ and have to Bills/jests games often - many of the people are VERY nice, but just like at the Ralph, there are some real loonies. I have been near a brawl (and I do mean brawl) more than once - Once at a miami/jests game, I could witness four fights from my seat.
  3. you can sell expensive tickets on the Nate Clements bandwagon right now- he is playing great ball right now.
  4. remember, the State's flagship university is in Buffalo!
  5. long time Bills fan here living in Jersey, working in Manhattan...I might have said the same thing last season - but being here, I get to see all of the jets hilites (I have dtv, so I watch the Bills) - Chad is throwing the ball WELL.....with zip, etc. I'm very impressed with him this year....dammit
  6. my favorite quarter of 'live' Bills football - October 1990 - broncos at Bills - Bills score 21 points in 1:17 to erase a 22-9 deficit and win - I couldn't talk for two days.
  7. the crowd sounded great on tv - I could tell the place was rockin'
  8. not happy about that - taking my 9 year-old daughter to see the Bills for the first time (not counting at Rich Stadium when she was 9 months old)....will be a lot colder than I bargained for.
  9. truth be told - every time we miss one wide right - I think about it too.
  10. God Bless him...with age comes wisdom and appreciation.....I really believe that he wants better for himself and the fans.
  11. I agree - come off the ledge already!!! Just fall asleep on the end of game like I do - I fell into a MAJOR nap with about 6 minutes left (after the last pats td)......btw, my daughter's soccer team won 5-3 today here in NJ and my daughter scored the last goal on a really nice side of foot kick as she beat the defender around the front of the net....
  12. Actually, that is not quite true - while not being a great fan of my fellow democrats these days, more than 200 voted NOT to endorse this war - some very high profile folks did - that gets all of the publicity.
  13. When I moved to Florida back in the early '80s, lots of my friends in Florida made reference to that sign - they LOVED it....
  14. Notice, I said Willis had a good game (except for that one play) - if AT continues to play as well - using him on short yardage might be a good option, using him where he adds more value and reducing wear and tear on him. These are not solid opinions, the season has just started - let's see what happens.
  15. I've been watching him for a long time - (Big Michigan fan here). I'm still a McGahee fan - I think he has big talent, but in some situations, I think we'll be very glad to have AT - they are a very good tandem.
  16. I saw the same thing - this guy should feel really good about his performance yesterday....if we could find some way to stop the run, this defense might be something special...any word on the injuries from yesterday?
  17. Other than that pitiful performance on the fourth down, I thought McGahee had a good game yesterday, but A-Train was a VERY pleasant surprise.....he might already be my choice on short yardage - no dancing behind the line with this guy!
