Thurman was on GR-55 the other day and had a good line. He said that if Bruce didn't get the sack record he'd still be playing.

Sorry, didn't see the other thread. Mods, please delete.

So I'm sitting in the john reading Esquire, as I'm wont to do, and decide to read the feature piece on one Tom Brady. I'm just getting over my knee-jerk hatred for him and all things Patsie when I read the follwing paragraph: "We were playing the Bills last year and I got a call in from the sidelines," Tom Brady says, regaling now. "And Josh, the coordinator, he says, 'Second and one, get the first down.' We're up 17? A lot, I don't remember. We're on the 48-yard line, and Moss was wide, so I just said, 'Randy, go deep.' And I just laid it up there. I just threw it. I ran off and Josh shouted, 'Just get the first down!' And I said, 'How was that?' They pulled me out of the game. That's exactly what I was trying to do." Then, angry about Marcia's dig at out woeful D last year, I flip on the RCA and tune to the Olympics. I'm watching the men's ping-pong (table tennis to you pinky-cockers) final and two guys from China are playing the game at a level unimaginable. Just when I'm forgetting about the Esquire diss one of the announcers describes one of the players as "ping-pong's Jim Kelly, because he's been to the world finals four times - losing each one." Ouch! Sometimes being a Bills fan is a real b*tch!!

Based on the underwhelming response to this thread I think we can safely surmise that boxing is dead. RIP

Reminds me of the old Michael Jorden bit on Letterman: Letterman: I understand that you can't wear your new sneaker during NBA games, why is that? MJ: Because it doesn't have any white in it. Letterman: Neither does the NBA. (Rim shot)

Ali, Foreman, Spinks and Leonard. All were Olympic gold medalists. The US had won 108 Olympic medals in boxing before this year. In 2008, we've won one (the bronze medal in the heavyweight division). Shameful! Seems like an indicator of boxing's overall decline, coupled with the rise in popularity of MMA. Or do you think our guys just stunk this year.

Graet first post. You know we don't have enough baseless negative comments around here. You'll really round things out. (Sarcasm on)

I just can't see the logic in Peters and his agent staying silent throughout this holdout. Normally, the agent would be in front of TV cameras doing his best Jerry Maguire. With 3 years still left on his deal the Bills aren't going to blink. He can't holdout because the years just roll over. He'll loose his salary and still be under contract for 3 more years, Just a thought based on nothing more than pure speculation, but might there not be an ulterior motive behind the no-contact? Might Peters still be hurt from last season (didn't he have off-season surgery?) and taking the extra time to heal? (Or get a deal signed while the Bills are oblivious to the extent of his injuries.) Or what if he feels he won't pass the drug tests and is trying to cleanse his system before reporting? Again, just random speculation, but both scenarios make more sense than thinking its just about a new contract.

Good point. Also, iinm, the Toronto games are considered Buffalo "Home" games. Meaning, if the people of Toronto don't sell out a game it's blacked out in the Buffalo market regardless of the distance.

As of this morning there were $32.00 tickets for the game available on Stubhub. I guess Canadains are finding out how hard it is to get rid of preseason tix.

Nice pics, thanks. Didn't realize JP was rocking the full beard.

Haven't seen the show, but I think that her book "Vodka are you there? It's me, Chelsea" has one funny title.

I'm coming with a group of 6 for the Thursday night practice.

The Spikes situation is a great example of how supposed NFL "experts" get caught up in name worship. When the Bills traded him to Philly many talking heads labeled it as a sign of Buffalo's impending doom and the Eagles' rise to Super Bowl favorites. Now, it is evident that the Bills were right to jettison a once-great player who will never recpature lost glory.

Just for the record, back in the day it was called "Playing the Dozens." Your Momma's so fat I took her to a dance and the band skipped. Your momma's so dumb when she went to an "R" rated movie and saw that "Under 17 not admitted," she left and came back with 16 of her friends. Your Momma's so dumb I saw her at the post office trying to mail a fruit basket with a food stamp. Your momma's so short you can see her feet on her driver's licence photo.

Great, a brand new poster with an unfounded rumor concerning a ficticious KFFL report. That's a first here!

Howard Stern had this on his show this morning. Really well done by Kid Rock.

You're in my thoughts and prayers, Millbank. Get well soon!

What a cool design. Technology may usher in a new era. Skyscraper

The name you're looking for is Shane Matthews.

Has anyone ever seen The Stoned Age? (Referenced above) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stoned_Age Alot like D and C, captures the 70s really well.

The Nadal/Federer final was one for the ages. Reminded me of Borg/McEnroe. Welcome back, Tennis, to relevency on the American sports landscape.

Carlin did an HBO special a couple of years back and opened with a blistering 5-minute monologue filled with hilarious, contrasting statements. My favorite: "I have a love child who sends me hate mail." R.I.P. George
