"Me being an African-American is the most important thing to me -- more important than baseball," said the 27-year-old center fielder, whose voice never went beyond his normal speaking level. "White people never want to see race -- with anything. But there's race involved in baseball. That's why there's less than 9 percent African-American representation in the game. I'm one of the few African-Americans that starts here." So let me get this straight, Milton. In this multi-million dollar industry, owners are willing to sacrifice wins ($$) in order to play whites ahead of blacks? Get real, a$$.

This is about where I stand.

Gee, our self esteem isn't tied at all to our football team, is it?

Ding, ding, ding.....we have a winner. It was pretty obvious really.

Guys, let's keep this in perspective. You can argue that MM didn't use him in a few long distance situations last year, but here's the 2004 stats and they're not bad: - He was tied for 8th in the NFL in FG %, at 85.7% (tied with Jason Hanson & Ryan Longwell) - He was tied for 8th in the NFL in points at 117 (tied with Matt Stover) The guy's in the top 1/4 of the league in kickers.

I'll start the chant: CUT COY CUT COY CUT COY CUT COY CUT COY

I did not see the game but I can safely say that game planning and play calling strategy plays in to the mix also. I suspect our play calling was fairly predictable which makes us easier to defend in the preseason.

With this defense and special teams, JP not screwing up = shining.

Calm down, ass.

If my tiger just killed someone, I wouldn't immediately return a phone call for comment either.

Changing from a Hyatt to a Marriott is like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Do you think it's going to be the magic spark that brings Buffalo back from the brink?

WOW - not sure I've ever seen a team not use the prevent.

That's a great show and Russerrt's book is definitely worth the money and time. Especially for those who have left town.

Is fox broadcasting it in HD?

If it's on in HD I'm there! (No TV in this room.)

Happy Birthday. Here's a balloon.

There are a lot of "former Coy Wire fans" out here.

Can't connect to a server.

Of course he goes in the Bills HOF. The Bills are not like a communist state where history is rewritten to edit out inconvenient facts and events.

There is nothing in this world even remotely like losing a child. At least Hunter is in a better place.

We all grieve in our own way...

Sorry, it's the buzz talkin'

Thanks for the report Rock.

A.K.A., I came up with this idea while I was drunk. Deep in the recesses of my mind I know it's a half-assed idea, but I'm too lazy for a real job and I just pray this dodge will pan out. I don't know what I'm doing but it's a good tax write-off.

I grieve for all the unknown families that suffer in silence and without wealth or fanfare.
