We were all so disappointed in the Bills but other than Indy, all of the playoff teams have shown significant weaknesses. Major offensive and defensive letdowns, stupid plays, major choking. We are just as good or better than these teams. I feel a lot better... a few good moves and we will be much closer to the upper echelon (New England, Pittsburgh) than it appeared last week.

Frankly, I'd take Al Michaels over most any other football announcer out there, and after listening to those three EPSN buffoons for the early game, listening to Michaels and Madden was like listening to Norah Jones.
I still love to hear Madden repeat himself when he gives you his take on a play sometimes. He'll say something so that most anyone can understand it, and then he'll say it again for the BFs of the world to get.
"You see, on THAT play, the quarterback fakes the handoff to the running back, pumps once to the tight end, and then goes downfield deep to the receiver in the endzone. So...fake handoff, pump once, and go downfield...and, and, and that's how that play works."
Michaels is one of the better ones... although, as happens to all decent play by play announcers, he borders on overexposure.
Oh, for the days of Ray Scott.

Wow... sure does.I used to watch the pre-game shows rather religiously, but in addition to age and responsibilities getting in the way of that extra hour, there really isn't anything of value as far as I'm concerned.People can pick who they want to win, but more often than not they're just guessing. They may do an occasional story or two about some guy's battle over adversity, but they're all the same after all these years. I've already read any backstory to any game of interest online or in the paper. They've truly become nothing more than talking heads.
Frankly, pre-game shows haven't been the same since I was a kid watching Brett Munsberger, Jimmy The Greek and Phyllis George (who still looks pretty hot even today.)

My personal feeling towards pregame shows has changed. It may be due to my age (48), which seems to lead to other duties, interest, etc. But I only start watching televised games anymore at kick-off. Just out of general interest, who watches/doesn't watch pregame shows and I would be interested in general comments.
Thanks.

Stephen A. Smith is bagging on Marty, says he never liked him as a head coach (no problem so far), then he loses all credibility by saying that Marty should have kicked on 3rd down because if you miss it you get another shot. Don't these guys know the rules? I was just as dissapointed that Ryan, Saunders & Lupica just sat there & didn't tell him if you miss the kick the other team gets the ball. If MM had that luxury of 4 kicks after a new 1st down, I might actually understand keeping Lindell.
Stephen "Arrogant" Smith is one of the worst "analyst experts" I have ever seen. Three other potential middle names... attitude, angry, ****. He sucks.

What the New York press would do to Femington Pennington if he has a bad game... it would be GREAT!!!

With the arrival of my first child, the thoughts having enough money is on my mind constantly. I am currently a teacher who makes ends meet, but needs more money for my wife and new baby. I have an open job offer to sell cars for Carmax. The good part is I will bring home around 1,200 extra per month. The bad thing is I will be away from my family a lot to get it. My wife has saved a decent amount of money and we should get an excellent tax return, so we will be able to keep my wife home until August and pay the mortgage for the next couple of months.
My question for you - especially the fathers out there, how much extra do you work and would you regret being away so much, but to ensure your most important family is ok??? I WOULD LIKE YOUR THOUGHTS.
Growing up, I saw my dad and plenty of other male relatives work countless hours to support the family.
I started my family much later than most and had worked my way into a position where I make decent money and work 38-40 hours per week. You need to find a happy medium. $1200 a month is not worth time away from your family. Would you also be leaving a profession you enjoy for one you are not sure of? Your question is a double edged sword. Perhaps cutting expenses the best you can , keeping your present job and possibly finding a local second job is best. It is your job to keep your family financially secure but you are considering a hell of a tradeoff and I hope you are looking at all options. YYou sure have your values in order... best of luck.

You won't find many football writers with more experience than Felser. He was shot down a lot on this board, but I have enjoyed his articles since I was a kid.

The key word is "trust". Lindell cannot be trusted in the clutch, for kicks over 40 yards or to kick deep on kick-offs.

Hmmmm.......maybe it works a little too well?
Great... one more thing to worry about. My sense of smell has not been destroyed yet, but thanks for the warning.

I forget who said this a few months ago and I know I am misquoting... "There are no heros in sports, the true heroes are in our armed forces. Thank you for being there for us.

listen, if anyone has plans on talking sh-- about Jimbo, this is the wrong forum. I know, I know, you can say whatever you want, but some things around here are sacred. Talking sh-- about Jim Kelly is as close to blasphemy as you can get on TBD. Like Darin said, the guy was in his 20's had more money than God, was in a small city where everyone loved him, and liked to party. If there's something wrong with that, well, then, I don't wanna be right.
My apologies. I heard a lot of fun stories about the group of Bills that hung out there. I was not Jimbo-bashing, just trying to add to the conversation.
Repeat... "I will never blasphamise Jimbo again".

I am kind of down on Reed. Do you think he just hasn't been used properly? I had high hopes for him as a slot receiver who could take short passes and turn them into long gains.
-
Bottom line... you need to perform your job better than him. That will give you an upper hand.... unless he is related to or sleeping with someone important.

It's just that as much as we want a great, mistake free football team... there are only a couple that even come close. Most of us, myself included are so critical of mistakes, stupid plays, etc.. but here are a bunch of playoff teams doing the same things...
