I don't know who did it first, but I've heard two other bands combine the lyrics of Pinball Wizard with the music of Folsom Prison Blues. One is Mr. Blotto, and another is a small town Midwest rock-a-billy band called Dirty Fishnet Stockings.

....nor do I understand the trashing of Simms....imagine if many of the youngins' here were exposed to Frank, Dandy Don & Howard like us old farts?......
I was just a kid when MNF got its start, but those guys were fun to listen to.

A friend turned me on to El Mayor. It's a good sipping tequila at a reasonable price. Makes a nice "winter warmer."

I have to agree with Logic - if they see someone they think could be a franchise QB, they'll take him whenever he's available. I know they got burned doing that with EJ, but they probably looked at other times when they didn't pull the trigger - Russel Wilson, for example - and regretted waiting. It's better to roll the dice and crap out than not to play at all.

My three laws of football:
1. Always root for the Bills.
2. Always root for the Packers, unless they're playing the Bills.
3. Always root for the team playing against the pats*, unless the pats* winning would somehow help the Bills. (In that case I don't watch the game, because I can't stomach rooting for the pats*.)
Why the Packers? As others have said, small market team, rabid and loyal fan base, and overall classy organization. I also like that they're owned by the fans.

This is rather amusing. Someone with the name FireChan would be willing to keep Rex. Oh well, we all go off the rails once in a while.
I was thinking the same thing until I realized that FireChan was joking.
-
I forgot about that one play.
That was the play against the Saints, where the NO defense looked like the Bills D against Ajayi last year, right?
-
Off the top of my head, I'll say McKee's KO return :
If I recall correctly, that was the last play of the first half. Fun to watch, but meaningless since he didn't get into the end zone.

Sam Adams interception returned for a touchdown 2003. On the return Brady gets thrown down like the little baby he is.

Things felt so right that day.
Also my first thought. Another was Nate Clements' shot that leveled Brady. Pretty much anytime Brady gets put on his back makes me happy.
Fitz' 98 yard TD pass to TO on an audibled play was fun to watch.
-
Let's be honest- since Madden and Summerall ended, broadcast teams have been clown shows.
Michaels and Madden made a great team after Summerall retired. But other than that, I pretty much agree.

Not sure how Spanish/Mexican culture operates with this, but I am sure there are gender lines that in no way are seen as we do in American culture. They were an item for many years
I find your comment intriguingly interesting..
The prominent name can't be the second name? In a humble world, it should be.
Just like a person who writes a letter, card for/with others, they humbly should put their name last
Like in American sports, hometeam is listed second.
Humility is a virtue. Graceful humility is not always about being listed "first."
I don't know if they chose the order based on gender roles, age, or anything else. I think when you're naming a duet, it should be based on the flow of the names. In this case, I do think "Rodrigo y Gabriella" flows better than the reverse, so to me they are named appropriately. My wife's comment was just an off-the-cuff remark about who the better guitarist is, and on that I happen to agree with her. That takes nothing away from Rodrigo - he's a phenomenal lead guitarist, but when you watch them, you see that Gabriella is playing rhythm guitar as well as percussion, and doing an amazing job at both simultaneously.
For the record, I sign our cards with her name first, and she signs with my name first.
-
How about Rodrigo y Gabriella....no one plays the guitar like Gabriella....it has to be seen to be appreciated.
She is amazing. My wife says they should be called "Gabriella y Rodrigo." I can't argue with that.

The AFL could've given Ralph the Miami franchise that he wanted in the first place. Then someone else would've gotten the Bills and most likely moved them by now.
Not every "could've" would've been better.

We could've hired Belichick as HC instead of promoting Wade Phillips in 1997.

My dad valet parked one of OJs cars back in the day. I can't remember the name of the restaurant but OJ had his own chair. Anyway, dad was drunk and he ran the car against a concrete pole and destroyed the passenger side of the car.
Fortunately for my old man OJ was drunk too. He pulled the car up, OJ got in and never a word was said. True story.
Your dad wasn't in LA back in '94, was he? ;-)

I am so sick of the kissing up to these "Legends". Can we look into the future and leave the past behind?
Do other NFL teams act like this with their retired players?
Its hard to have a better tomorrow, if you don't stop dwelling on yesterday.
Imo
One example: Last Thanksgiving the Packers had "Brett Favre Day" which was attended by Bart Starr.

I'm not a big fan of Simms, but even with him, the CBS A-team was far better than their Fox counterparts. Buck and Aikman are terrible. Even my wife, who's not much of a fan but watches a game with me now and then, shakes her head at some of Aikman's comments. I often remind her that Troy suffered a lot of concussions when he played, and it shows.

I was a daily BBMB reader (and frequent contributor) too. After it shut down, I checked out a few independent Bills message boards and found this one to be the best. It's really not much different than the BBMB - a lot of good posters with a few trolls chiming in now and then. It doesn't take long to figure out who's in each category.
I don't know if their plan to get more people on their social media pages worked in general, but it didn't work on me. The comments on public Facebook pages seem to have a very low signal-to-noise ratio.

Question for you: Why is you main color green when most cheese is yellow? Green (mold) on yellow (cheese) I would understand.
Maybe it has to do with the name of the city.

Can you imagine what kind of precedent this would set? Any time a business wants to move, the municipality could seize its assets. There's no chance of this happening.

Not just work.......first day of work with new boss.
He spoke with the boss. It's not like Marshawn, who had no contact with the new coach whatsoever (until mandatory minicamps started), skipped ALL the voluntary workouts, and gave no reason.
-
I guess it's time to start dressing up. #CBS
In a statement, CBS says it is discussing with Phil Simms his future role, confirms Tony Romo will be lead game analyst. End of another era.
Tony needs a tie and a razor.

No interception jokes yet?
I'm saving mine for when Cutler retires.
-
I think Tyrod is one of those quiet lead by example guys. He's first man in every morning for workouts, year round and takes his job seriously. That's what you look for in a captain.
He's definitely a leader by example, but he's not always quiet. I remember one game last season when a lineman was about to get flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct - Tyrod got in his face, talked him down, and saved us 15 yards.
We heard of snakes on a plane, now scorpions?

I guess they won't have any overbooked flights for a while.
