Poojer- Am I missing something in the string? I don't see a single negative thing being suggested about a sausage smoking lifestyle- in fact don't most of us share a fondness for the women who choose and master the same?

The only question for me is would J.D. Hill trust him in the showers?

Mark Haynes challenged me to a bong-off when I was visiting a buddy who played QB for Colorado in '78. He won. Major lungs-

If you’re still bitching about our team or any individual member of the Buffalo Bills or their staff at this time of this season it’s reasonable for others to conclude you’re not really a Bill’s fan. The primary reasons for this is that it’s the only conclusion an objective person can reach knowing that: A) The vast majority of the national press is fawning over the team in Buffalo and how well the three segments of the team are putting complete games together and helping out whatever unit isn’t getting their best performance in on any given Sunday. Say Team. Now say Team again. And continue reciting it over and over until it begins to mean something to you, like it obviously does to the guys on our roster. The reason no one is quitting on Sundays is that they believe in each other. It would be nice if the fan base could adopt the same stance. B) NFL analysts, including former Pro-Bowl NFL Players, are talking about the good fit of ALL our personnel and their adoption of the new scheme on the offensive side of the ball, the improvement on Special Teams and the difficulty opposing offenses are having with our aggressive defense. Sterling Sharpe on NFL Playbook last night said- "Buffalo is very lucky to have Drew Bledsoe running their show right now". But hey, what the heck does he know? No doubt 2% of our fan base understands the game of football FAR better than Sharpe ;-) C) Bill’s fans are excited about the possibility of a playoff berth and the opportunity to play our best ball going into the post-season. Even most pessimists are optimistic at this moment in time. If they’re actually Bill’s fans. Does our position allow questioning of coaching, player abilities and roster decisions? Of course- but right now in a positive way because for Christ’s sake we’re IN POSITION TO GET IN THE PLAYOFFS. I’ll offer a twist on an old adage- If you don’t have anything good to say about our team at this moment, in this season,- STFU!

You're just asking for trouble with that post :-O

Google Search: "Tom Brady" gay 47,700 hits "Terrell Owens" gay 16,300 hits "Jeff Garcia" gay 9,580 I don't know what the read is on Owen's "outing" of Jeff Garcia- I guess it's possible he was trying to hide his own, uh, "fancies" ;-) But to answer the original question- Yes- he's quite a bit bigger than Tom Brady.

The Comedy Central version is awful with the dubbed language cleanup. I bowled in the lanes they use in the film but I believe that property has since been redeveloped- at least that was in the works 4 or 5 years ago. Many of the other sets are places around the Westside of LA. If any of you fans of the movie are going to be in LA and would like a "Lebowski" tour let me know and I'll be happy to show you the spots.

In the Bedford Falls Insane Asylum the patients are having a good time ripping the quarterback of the local team while that same team is on a tear including the possibility of going to the playoffs! But wait- life's about to get even more wonderful for the idiots in the asylum- time for meds!

Takeo Spikes- "It may be scheduled for 4 quarters, but we're trying to knock you out in the first".

Just announced, should be on in a few minutes.

Yeah- Things really went to hell for Elway at the end- and Plunkett- his career was actually OVER when he came back to win HIS two Super Bowls.

I'm involved in a project that requires the types of services offered by SkuLogix in Buffalo but their headquarters are in Toronto, which I assume also puts their tax revenues in Toronto. I've got other options all around the country, including one in Olean that unfortunately doesn't seem to be ideal from a business standpoint, but the Buff one has a realistic chance of getting the work. Anyone know anything about SkuLogix and it's reputation locally and beyond?

It was that jackass crybaby gunner or Anna Kournikova.

Thanks a lot for that Doc. The report for some reason makes me veer towards Tri-Tip for Christmas dinner ;-)

That's simply foolish and contrary to the facts. A QB doesn't become the 10th most productive QB in the history of the NFL without having desirable QB skills. Is Bledsoe a complete QB- No way. Was Joe Montana? No way. Is Brett Favre? No way. Culpepper/Vick/McNair/etc. etc- No way. In our lifetime there's one who might have eventually put the whole thing together, at least IMO- a guy who lost a lot of big games before he settled down at the very end of his career and used all those great skills- including the ability to throw over opponents coverage (the primary skill Brady and Montana is/was lacking), to finally take his team over the top. Elway was fun to watch when he ran, but once he developed the discipline to stay in the pocket he became for my money the best in history. HGe didn't need a system to hide his flaws like Brady/Montana, he simply had to exorcise his instinct to run.

A rookie at one corner and a FS playing the other side means they'll have to decide who will primarily cover Evans off the line and who will be left one-on-one with Moulds all day. No way they watch our film and leave Evans single-covered- Eric should be ready for a big day whether that single-coverage comes from the kid or the FS.

And Bill Belichick was a can eating goat in Cleveland before he became a genius- but you can be forgiven for your shallow understanding of the game because you are, after all, a Pats Troll! Bill's fans simply have higher standards ;-)

Pro Bowl linemen are what you're referring to, not Pro Bowl lines. Folks "close to the game" laugh their asses off at fans who don't recognize that a line plays as a unit and players sent to the Pro Bowl is no indication of the best lines and schemes in the game. Those same people who find the naivete of thinking Pro-Bowl linemen make a line Pro-Bowl quality also find it hilarious that any fan would ever suggest that a weak armed QB like Brady could possibly play in the big play offenses of the NFL- and those offenses are hardly mythical. In fact, those "close to the game", in fact even those with merely a cursory understanding of the NFL and its history realize that short pass offenses are nearly exclusively a modern phenomenon. I appreciate your Christmas humor though-"he can function in ANY offense you put him in "- That should carry me right through to Saturday-You have a Jolly one too!

Stay away from flavored rums- too smokey. Don't tell me it was unlocked, if I'm allowed to imagine you busting the door down with drive block I'll feel obligated to crack an early one myself.

Displaying the popularity of football in the Vick obsessed state of Georgia, the attorney representing the presumed double murderer used a statement asking "if you throw two incomplete passes do you still score a touchdown?" I have to tell you, Mr. Attorney, you better hope there's no real fans on the jury!

In order to honestly believe that you'd have to ignore the obvious- Brady is a system QB playing in a system that suits his lack of arm strength, instead playing to his excellent ability to read the field behind a generous and very effective blocking scheme that offers him as much time on the pocket as any QB in the league today. We've all seen how he reacts to the very occasional pressure he faces, Monday Night being a good example of that. He couldn't play QB in 80% of the historical offenses in league history due to his limited range. Sure he can throw 4 or 5 to the sidlelines and the occasional 30 yard pass downfield during a game but when it comes to 65 and 70 yard passes that break games open in a traditional offense you have to look to the guys whose younger days included a preference for titty-bars and anything that says sour mash versus Disneyland and the Boston Pops. Buffalo offers little comfort for QBs who prefer fleece leotards to the 75 pound red-plaid wool hunting jacket they were wearing when they shot their first deer.

I have no expectations about their final numbers Sunday but the game promises to be more revealing than any 10 pre-season games for whoever is getting the reps Sunday.

I agree completely about the Weiss "success strategy", and that extends to the other side of the ball on his team, but I'd be hesitant to discount the learning curve for Clements yet. We've got a whole bunch of coaches trying to recover from good planning all year but not good enough to execute and win close games early, but they're a work in progress. It's funny to me how a game that was talked about as "dangerous" and "a reality check" last week now is just another win against a hapless Bengals team. As far as I'm concerned last week was a BIG game going in and a BIG win for us- it was for all intents and purposes a playoff game and we played well enough to win against a challenger at home playing for the same gold ring.

Bill- Drew's 39447 passing yards to date position him as the 10th most productive paser in the history of the game. The three names immediately in front of him are Unites, Montana, and Fouts. I believe most objective football fans would consider that some rarified air. Here's a link- All Time Most Productive Passers in the NFL

Thanks- I didn't "recruit" any support because it's my name, my reputation under attack, and I'm on the right side of it. But your involvement earned my great appreciation.
