Give 'em their due- it's the best deer hunting in New York State.

There may not be any in that limited gene pool of 5000. Ducket was originally from Salamanca.

Get off the 405 at Roscoe and go a couple blocks east to Sepulveda. North 2 blocks on Sepulveda at 8525 you'll find the Travel Inn, head up to room 23 on the second level and get a digital shot for a great avatar ;-) Another couple blocks north and then turn west onto Rayen you can find this spot where the crew sets up- you'll recognize a lot of the neighborhood from the show: My Name is Earl Locations

Does the tailpipe burn when you embrace it with your lips?

At this point I'd limit the things that can be fairly assessed to: A) We've got ourselves a bona fide athlete. Like they say about height- you can't teach that. B) We've got a kid who has shown that he has the capacity to learn. He exhibited pocket discipline for the firs time in a Bill's uniform after the sitdown- not enough yet but still he had even consecutive plays of solid pocket discpline in his return. C) We have someone who has embraced WNY and has expressed the intentions to make it his home for his football career; a kid with very strong family values and commitments. D) We also appear to have a team player who while others are melting down around him has held his cool and accepted the team's decisions. He's weathered diversity at the college and now pro levels, and from my seat did it admirably. Now if we can get the right influences working to match his skills with an effective NFL offensive philosophy we might just find we have a quarterback capable of competing in this league.

His wife was a local who was indifferent to football. She also seemed to be the more financially aware of the two yet even when I explained to her why her football season business had been reduced to a small fraction of it's former glory she just said something like "do you really think so?"

Stephen Ducket, a guy I met when he bought a bar in my hometown of Wellsville apparently gave a tourist some notes of paper and then took a dive into the Niagra just above the Falls, apparently in the past week. Funny thing about this guy is that first of all Wellsville is a big-time Bill's town and he bought the only real young to middle-age crowd bar in town where you aren't taking your life in your hands eating off their silverware. It had been the center of Bill's football activity for many years. This guy buys the bar maybe 16 years ago and tears down every reference to Buffalo and of all things covers the walls with Cowboy gear. Since then what were previously the biggest business days of the cold months turned into this guy sitting alone in his bar with the TVs all playing the Cowboys games. Apparently it's enough to literally send you over the edge.

They've done a great job developing it- from the casting to the infinite storylines, it's pure entertainment. And Joy and Catalina have their own following ;-) I stopped by the motel where they shoot it last week- believe it or not the place really is a rat infested stojanhole- and they shoot a lot of the other scenes right down the street.

Watched it in a bar in Los Angeles and left immediately after the game for a Raider house party where I "announced" my entrance with a Rebel Yell. Got a lot of "ARE YOU f%^&* NUTS" and wasn't even offered a beer!

Earl and the crew are eating wings when someone queries where they come from- Randy says: "I think they're from Syracuse". Earl looks unsure and says "No, I think they're from Buffalo" to which Randy insists it's Syracuse- Joy settles the whole matter by saying- "Nope, they're made a' chicken". It was probably the third thing in last night's episode that went like that- another was Randy responding to the topic of Robin Hood says "Oh yeah, that guy in the green tights- and I really like his little friend, that bird fairy named Tinkerbell." I need to find out who they're buying their weed from.

Yes, I'm pleased that you finally recognize that no QB rated among the worst in the league at his throws over 20 yards could ever be credibly argued as a "deep threat". You've made some progress this evening. I'll let you know when your next lesson begins.

Mike Tregovac seems to fit your criteria perfectly-

Twist and turn all you like, it doesn't change the fact that QBs rated at the bottom of the league over 20 yards are not "deep threats" in any honest man's judgement. It appears clear you are content to remain the lying sack of garbage you've been proven to be instead of taking the honorable opportunity I've offered you to simply admit your past indiscretions. We used to have some honest fans from opposing teams around here but the bottomfeeders like you have convinced them to leave for message boards where even a lying Troll would never argue that the worst QBs in the league at throwing passes over 20 yards are "deep threats". But you keep saying it- you might actually begin to believe it at some point and it may lessen your whining about the referees in the Denver game!

And now opportunity knocks at your door- You previously claimed that Tom Brady was a "deep ball threat" in the NFL. I've shown that in fact he's one of the worst QBs in the league when throwing over 20 yards. You now can simply admit what anyone with eyes and a functioning brain realizes- you said something that was false. In the intertest of "accuracy" I'd think you'd take this opportunity to recover from your past misstep and just say "Yeah, I was a stupid Troll and I shouldn't have been flag-waving on a Bill's message board, especially when the tripe I was peddling was demonstrably false". Or you could continue being the jellyfish Troll that you and I both know you to be- devoid of anything but trollscum talk and unable to admit in the face of incontrovertible evidence that you don't have the ability to be honest.

So the tact would be to ignore that Lovie Smith, John Fox, Jack Del Rio and Marvin Lewis are racking up wins at a pace rivaling any 4 coaches in the league while Coughlin is the sole retread with any success in the immediate past and is very likely guiding a team on the decline at this very moment? I think see pretty clearly your pattern and I intend to get the craps table out of the attic next time you come up to the Mountain. ;-)

I'll always remember the fitting justice of it since I live in Traitorland- Gruden said he hoped to be paid like an NFL instead of high school coach since he'd brough the franchise back from the brink, Davis of course dug his feet in. Then Davis promoted the (*^*&%^$^#Callahan who never changed the teams line calls the following season. When they met in the Super Bowl that postseason the Tampa Bay defense couldn't believe that were being barked the play before almost every snap.

Since 2001, half of the coaches hired who have achieved current success are "new" head coaches. 2 are former Super Bowl winners and another was Gruden, who moved in a unique way we shouldn't expect to see done again any time soon. The only retread is Tom Coughlin. So while 50% of todays recently hired coaching successes are first time head coaches, only 12% are retreads. The numbers speak to a large degree about why we SHOULD be considering a first time head coach (since the pool of former Super Bowl winners is so shallow to downright unthinkable).

And while you're "explaining" to all of us how Brady has become (wink wink) one of the league's "deep threats", you'll be happy to know that your idol "improved" from a bottom of the league 54 QB rating over 20 yards in 2004 to a bottom third of starters 63 in 2005. Yup, a real "deep ball" threat!

Yeah, Brady's passer rating on his throws over 20 yards would have NOTHING to do with whether your idiotic statement that he had become "one of the biggest deep threats in the league" is accurate! You keep up with the unsupportable and football-free nonsense you spew around here, don't let any of us who recognize your little Troll game interfere ;-)

Irrelevant- simply because it proves you to be the lying sack of garbage you've been exposed as? In case you forgot, here's your post acknowledging that Brady was only able to muster a rating of 54 on his passes over 20 yards: Trollywood acknowledging Brady's poor long ball rating of 54 Now if you will simply retract your idiotic premise we can move on to more important issues- like your whining about the refs in the Denver game!

Tsk tsk , continuing to perpetrate your own lie won't make you look any smarter! The completely inaccurate statement you made in the off-season, claiming under a picture of your love interest that "Brady has become one fo the league's best long ball threats" was proven false when in fact I posted the splits showing that only Kyle Boller had a lower QB rating on his throws over 20 yards than Brady among all NFL starters. Maybe you're not smart enough to find the stats. Here- let me link it again for you: Trollywood's Folly- Brady's anemic passing numbers over 20 yards Perhaps now, in the interest of "accuracy", you'd like to retract the idiotic, unsupportable and inaccurate position you insisted on just few short months ago?

It sounds as if you're calling for us to accept a cast-of with known flaws instead of looking at a Rivera or Trgovac who have their defenses on the top of the league right now. Don't forget that of the 3 DCs we interviewed in 2001, two have gone on to take doormats as far as the Super Bowl, with Fox knocking on the door again. Since 66% of those we interviewed are already NFL "succesful", we shouldn't get gunshy just because we screwed the pooch on our decision then. We're in the AFC East in a cold weather city, the odds are we're better served with a DC at the top rather than an OC.

The Pats played with a lack of confidence in Denver and now their "fans" are showing their own confidence crisis in the whining post Denver loss. It's clear even among the Pat's Trolls here that they subconsciously believe the party's over- the flashpoint of the collapse will be marked by the awful Belichick decision to lay down in the Fins game in order to dodge the Steelers in the Wild Card round. He single-handedly drove the stake right through his own team's former strength.

I'll be a bit more confident if the search is left alive long enough to get an interview with Mike Trgovac.

You're hardly a beacon of anything but garbage spew- you can spare Bill's fans your sermons on "accuracy". Let's not overlook that you're the same idiot who insisted this past off-season that Brady had become "one of the best deep ball" threats in the league. I notice you backed off that completely when I proved statistically that the worst passer ratings among starters in the league for all passes over 20 yards were Kyle Boller and your manlove skittish-in-the-redzone can't-break-.500-without-a-top-3-defense blowup doll.
