  1. I like this article on the NFL site - rankings and SuperBowl likelihood. We're at 12 - Fire everyone!

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000748364/article/nfl-power-rankings-week-13-oakland-raiders-enter-top-three

    Such an important win for the Bills on Sunday. At 6-5, they are still a game back in the wild-card race. Yet, two of the teams they trail are certainly vulnerable. The 7-4 Broncos still have games remaining against the Patriots, Chiefs and Raiders. The Dolphins are the weakest team in the NFL with seven wins or more. Buffalo will host Adam Gase's upstarts at New Era Field on Christmas Eve. Then Rex Ryan's outfit closes out the season in, of all places, MetLife Stadium against those lovable Jets. #footballisfamily

  2. Uber destroys the taxi business everywhere they are. I was in NF, ON for Pats weekend and my friends and I used Uber all night. So convenient and cheap compared to taxi fares. But we could see taxis cluster unused outside of bars while people climbed into Ubers. Can't help to feel bad for people just trying to earn a living.

    You know the Uber drivers are just trying to make a living too, right?

  3. It's hilarious the double standards people have here. Did you call Incognito a thug, when he was a multiple winner of dirtiest player in the NFL? Or how about Brandon Spikes, when he took numerous cheap shots on Bills?

     

    Blame the refs for being idiots. Sherman is far from my favorite player but there are plenty of other players who are far worse.

     

    And sadly, he comes off looking much better with his response to her tweet.

     

    Exactly! Sherman f'd up. So what. There's a penalty for what he did in the NFL. The refs didn't call it right and then compounded the problem by standing over the football so we couldn't snap it. Blame the refs.

  4. Call me crazy, but I thought the Bills were missing a few starters in those last 3 wins as well? The write ups make it sound like only our opponents are missing players. Either way they have us listed about where we belong in the middle. I doubt getting to 5 - 2 will cause much of a ripple either (if we get there).

  5. I get what you're saying - to a point. But you know how long it's been since we swept the season series with the Pats***?

     

    1999, that's when. Even an otherwise wrecked season would have a certain - and not insignificant - reason to gloat. Reminds me of the days when a victory over the Phins was a great, great good feeling.

    Again, learning from the Pats fans advice of that day - I just want playoffs - sweeping the Pats means little to me without a Bills playoff appearance attached to it.

  6. 1 - The season is still young

    2 - The Bills fired the Offensive Coordinator after week 2, maybe time management was a problem they knew needed fixing?

    3 - Tyrod is still a learning QB

    4 - I'm glad LA didn't get the ball back with time on the clock, AND we came away with points

     

    I was in the "season's over" camp after week 2, I'm walking on sunshine right now and I want to enjoy it for another week.

  7. We've interviewed Ned Hollowell a couple of times, he's a great go to guy for support , so Dareus is in good hands http://www.drhallowell.com/

    One of the things we tell people who don't understand ADHD or think that the symptoms are things everyone has and are common is this - Many of these 'Symptoms' are common human behaviors. With ADHD they occur often, and they impair you. PLUS: ADHD is ongoing, perhaps lifelong, not, "Ever since my marriage ended I've been edgy." PLUS: ADHD is impairing in multiple areas of your life, not just, "I get agitated and scattered when my mother-in-law visits me."

     

    I do social media for an independent ADHD support site (no pharma funding - no government money)

  8. I work for a non pharma/ non government funded ADHD support site. Ned Hollowell is well respected in the field of ADHD treatment and marijuana is probably second only to extreme caffeine consumption as a way of self medicating to treat ADHD. Sounds like Dareus has taken some positive steps in dealing with his issues. I take this article as a big positive.

  9. Best 1982 Police Picnic, CNE Toronto, The Police, Talking Heads, English Beat, Joan Jett, among others. I was 16 and had crap seats. Went with my brothers friends and they said 'stick close to us and do what we do'. We got up to the rail, jumped on the field and ran like hell for the crowd. Security didn't look much for us and we spent the show about 50ft from the stage. Great memories.

     

    Worst - Cabaret Voltaire, Concert Hall, Toronto 1985ish. Basically had tape machines on stage playing their music and the crowd stood around trying to look cool. wtf was the point of that was what I asked myself on the way out.

  10. On a similar subject - I don't play video games but I want to play some Madden (I'm 49 fwiw). As long as I don't care what year of Madden I play (say 2013 version or more recent) is there any value in buying an older system and the corresponding Madden? I see some older games/units going for $50 and wonder if it's worth it or if I'm wasting my money.

  11. If it happened on a Samsung the stadium might have shut you down so you didn't start a fire :P

     

    My guess is the Stadium's captive portal needs tweaking.

     

    Long story short you aren't connected to the Internet at the stadium. You are connected to the captive portal. All traffic from you to the internet is funneled thru the portal and your return traffic is funneled back thru the portal.

     

    You asked your web browser to connect to Google

    You actually connected to the portal

    Your device recognizes this is not Google and rejects the traffic

    Thanks for the quick answer! Sounds like there's not much I can do from my end (other than buy a new phone).
