Are you serious? There is NO WAY the refs could call unsportsmanlike against the Rams on that play. But I'll bet they thought about it.

On the flip side of the coin it sends a message to the other team that we're not going away which could deflate them. More than anything I think its a positive sign that the team is headed in the right direction and not the same old Bills we've seen during the drought.

Oops. missed that - thanks.

Someone in the Shoutbox today mentioned how the Bills have been answering opposing team points with their own, something I'd been thinking as well so I looked it up. Looking at the scoring summaries the opposing team has scored twice in a row 4 times, and it hasn't happened three times in a row but we answered 18 times. Jets: we answered 2 of their 3 scores Panthers: 1 of 3 Broncos: all 4 Falcons: all 3 Bengals 3 of 4 Bucs all 4 EDIT: 4 of 5 Call it what you want, but I call it encouraging. What's missing is we rarely score first (1 out of 6 games) and rarely score three straight times (once against the Broncos)

In keeping with the previous Peter Griffin reference and apologies for the bad quality:

Strudel zum Toasten? Ist es auch gut?

The writing was on the wall when Judge stole the HR. Second time that's happened with a NY team in a game 7 championship series game and both were losses.

Allmans and Wolfmother back to back. Nice.

T-N-T and "It's a Long Way To The Top" are my AC/DC faves (who knew bag pipes could kick a$$). But I'm not embarrassed singing them unless someone turns down the volume on me. Of course that goes for any song.

I'm a Mets fan too and this sums it up pretty well for me. I can't think of anything to hate about this group of Yankees...except of course that they are Yankees Only thing I disagree with is the playing with house money comment. That was probably true up until they won the last game. Now it's on them to finish the job. Getting this far isn't easy, especially coming back from 0-2 in 2 straight series. And as bright as things look right now, it can change quickly. Don't want to squander an unexpected opportunity like the Mets did a few years ago,

You reached out to this board and it responded with compassion and advice and I hope that helps. All I can add is one more voice of compassion. I wish you all the best.

. ..or if your sample set is too limited you could arrive at the wrong solution for all the right reasons.

...or there's more than one possible solution. If we can assume a '+" somehow relates to a*b + (a-1)*a no reason we couldn''t also assume the sequence of the equations has significance. In truth, I like the a*b + (a-1)*a solution better, just thought it was interesting that I came at it from a slightly different angle.

I was assuming the order of the equations mattered and was independent of a: 3+7 = 3*7 + 3*1 = 24 2+3 = 2*3 + 2*2 = 10

FWIW, I looked at it using a sequence: 1. 2+3=8 2. 3+7=27 3. 4+5=32 4. 5+8=60 5. 6+7=72 6. 7+8=? Using the sequence number, this equation works: a*b + seq*a = c 7*8 +6*7 = 98

Hmm, no frozen grapes...guess we'll have to go back....for the grapes! BTW, wrong thread but happy birthday!

Only time I was in Vegas was a few years ago, bookends of a trip to Bryce/Zion. I'm not a gambler, but glad I got a small taste of the strip. Wife was horrified, I was amused. Saw the Cirque "O" show and while it was good, we both thought it was highly over-priced and over-rated. Off the strip, others have mentioned Red Rocks and skiing, I'll put in a good word for the Valley of Fire. Hot as f*ck but jaw dropping. On the flight home my son (9 at the time) is drawing vacation pictures and wifey asks what it is and he says it's a girl in a bikini. She asks where he saw that and he looks up incredulously and says "Mom, there were a lot of bikinis in Las Vegas...A LOT!!"

I expect that they will part with quality draft picks if/when it makes sense. In season seems unlikely.

My fathers (RIP) come back: "That's because I wasn't foreman on the job!" Apologies for the irrelevance to the thread. WRT to OP....since when are impactful personnel changes made in season in the NFL? This isn't baseball. Not saying it never happens but I think its rare and I agree with others that there is no way I could see McBeane spending draft capital for a quick fix.

Have Jose Ramirez and the guy who played Bubba in Forrest Gump ever been seen in the same place together?
