  1. Good for you Ice. Regarding the not being family anymore business rather than give up, why not try to change that.......
  2. are you going to become evilfinkiller now?
  3. If you have a employee handbook that clearly states that there is a zero tolerance policy regarding drugs in work place, I question how you would or will answer a management source higher why you did not terminate her. Such decisions come with the territory. Many company offer such employee’s support options to help deal with their problem and it is this young ladies problem, it cannot be made the companies also. The right course of action is to terminate her for having drugs in work place and offer a form of employee assistance whereby she could get help for her problem, if she avails herself to it is entirely up to her.
  4. I did notice the President did kiss her on the mouth though scroll down to bottom of this page for view without glasses she is not lassie either Margaret Spellings
  5. This one?
  6. Actually Darin I do disagree, he is a very stragiht forward real person, I enjoy what interviews I listened to so far....
  7. Brad was just saying that Thursday would be Quarterback day on WGR with Jim Kelly being on with Howard Simon and Jeremy at 9:30 am and Joe Montana being on with Mike Schopp and the Bulldog at 4:00 Pm .. that two really interesting guests......
  8. I understand that , but when you look at the cap differences between keeping him and cutting him next June and bringing in another vet starter or backup , the Bills will keep Drew and perhaps JP get some more starts later next season. As hard as this is to swallow it does have some merit. Lets see how it plays out. Its hard to be patient.....
  9. Don't entirely rule out the possibility that the Bills well now play out the remainder of season and play well , finish with a 8-8 or 9 - 7 record and Drew will still be starting Quarterback next season......
  10. AL MVP Vladimir Guerrero pulled ahead of a crowded field to win the American League Most Valuable Player Award. The free-swinging right fielder outclassed the others in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, receiving 21 out of a possible 28 first-place votes.
  11. Link to main page and all his wallpaper New Wallpaper
  12. The Argo's beat the Tiger -Cats so that is also a strike against them. Pin Ball is a excellent person though......
  13. That Drew is a good person and a nice person, hopefully he will be afforded a means to pass the torch to JP in a fashion of respect rather than be humiliated, there is nothing to be gained by beating down Drew Bledsoe. If it is his time to end there is no crime in that, it comes for everyone.
  14. Got to be tough on this player. there really is not much to say, but one can be sure he didnt try to miss, sometimes awful things do happen.
  15. The Ballad of BOOTH LUSTEG K Buffalo Bills 1966; Miami Dolphins 1967 The Booth Lusteg story is strange one, indeed. In 1966, the Buffalo Bills were in need of a kicker, after having their current kicker, Pete Gogolak, was signed the rival NFL New York Giants on May 17, 1966. The Bills needed someone to fill the big shoes of Gogolak. What they got was Booth Lusteg. Here is his "ballad"... August 7: Rookie Booth Lusteg boots four field goals in Bills’ 19-13 victory over Boston in the pre-season opener. August 12: For the second game in a row, Booth kicks four field goals in a 25-3 win over Denver. October 8: Lusteg misses four out of five field goals, disappointing a record War Memorial Stadium crowd of 45,545 during the Bills 20-10 loss to Boston. October 16: Booth misses wide right on a 23-yard FG with six seconds left as Bills and Chargers play to a 17-17 tie. It was his third miss in four attempts this day. Ralph Wilson tried to console his kicker: “You’ll make them forget that miss.” Said Lusteg: “Contrary to what people think, I still think I’m a good kicker. Sure I’m disappointed. I hate to miss, I hate to lose. But Gogolak missed a couple, too. I wasn’t nervous before that kick, I was confident. I felt good, I hit it good. I didn’t choke, I just missed it.” October 16: An unidentified Bill on Lusteg: “Everyone blows one at one time or another, but this guy will never be a real pro if he’s going to sulk like that. He felt sorry for himself all week after the Boston game. He better discipline himself and pull out of it.” October 16: After the loss, a disconsolate Lusteg walks home from the stadium, only to be attacked on Buffalo’s Delaware Avenue by three men. “They pulled over to the curb and started yelling, ‘You bum’ and cursing me,” Booth said. “One hit me and the other ripped my shirt. It was still broad daylight and people were around, so they jumped back in their car and drove away.” October 17: Booth refuses to sign a complaint against the “over-wrought, irresponsible and youthful punks” he said attacked him following the Chargers game. “I consider it an unfortunate incident that does not represent the true spirit of Buffalonians.” October 30: Lusteg gains a measure of redemption as he kicks four field goals as the Bills beat the first-place Jets, 33-23. His teammates award him the game ball. November 30: Ted Barron, a Boston businessman and owner of the minor league team Booth kicked for in 1965, says he’ll try to prevent Lusteg from playing in the showdown against the Patriots in Fenway Park. Barron says Lusteg still is bound to an option clause in his contract with the New Bedford Sweepers of the Atlantic Coast League. It’s also revealed that Barron had offered Lusteg to the Pats, but they declined, and Lusteg made his own deal with the Bills after Gogolak joined the Giants. Barron says Buffalo offered him $500 for Lusteg’s services after Booth agreed to join the Bills. The Bills deny ever having made an offer for Lusteg. December 2: A story in the Boston Traveler reveals that Lusteg had lied about his age (he was 27, not 25) and that he wasn’t a graduate of Boston College as he had said, but actually was a 1960 cum laude graduate of the University of Connecticut. Booth reportedly pretended to be his brother, Wally, who did attend Boston College, but quit the football team after just one day. The reason for taking on Wally’s identity was that Wally was only 25. “Who ever heard of a 27-year-old rookie in pro football?” Lusteg said when asked why he had lied. “I feel bad about this, though I never expected to keep it a secret forever. I did it to play football and hoped I could keep it quiet until I became established. I was afraid the Bills wouldn’t give me a chance if they knew I was a 27-year-old rookie.” Says Joel Collier: “I don’t care if he’s Brand X, as long as he keeps kicking field goals.” December 3: The Bills arrive in Boston for the big game with the Patriots and find a pair of $50,000 lawsuits waiting for them; one for the team, and one for Booth Lusteg. The suits were a breach of contract, arising from Ted Barron’s contention that the Bills did not pay him after signing Lusteg. Barron, however, did back off and trying to get Lusteg banned from the game, saying “it would be unsportsmanlike and many fans have already purchased tickets expecting to see him play.” January 19, 1967: Mike Mercer, the most accurate kicker in 1966 while with the Chiefs, is acquired for a fifth-round draft choice in the 1968 draft. Mercer had joined the Bills developmental squad after being waived by Oakland early in the 1966 season. However, satisfied with Booth Lusteg, Joel Collier released him and the Chiefs picked him up on the condition that Collier could take him back at the end of the season. Surprisingly, the Chiefs and the league go along with the demand. Training Camp, 1967: Bills cut Booth Lusteg. December, 1967: Booth leads the Dolphins in scoring with 39 points.
  16. Add Saskatchewan's Paul McCallum to the list of Scott Norwood, Bill Buckner and others who have paid a nasty price for a costly mistake on the playing field. McCallum missed two field goals, including the potential "18 yard" winner in overtime, in a 27-25 loss to the B.C. Lions in the CFL West final Sunday in Vancouver. Within hours, eggs had been thrown at his home, manure dumped on his lawn and he had been the target of threats. Missed Kick
  17. That is great news, may your family be blessed with good health and your wife and self blessed with wisdom as you guild young lives.......
  18. Andy Reid asked why he called time out with Cowboys running out clock with 16 seconds remaining in half , Eagles up 35 - 14, why he called time out, he responded because he felt like it. What is with that......... Parcells and Reid meeting at mid field after game may be interesting..... nice owner Jerry Jones now on sidelines yelling at his team, first series they go right down field and score....
  19. drew says hold my balls
  20. Doug Flutie would be quarterback just like he was for the Donalds New Jersey Generals.
  21. Barry Bonds long ago staked his claim as one of the greatest ballplayers in history, and at times the Giants slugger seemingly can only top himself for Major League honors. He did it again on Monday, capturing his unprecedented fourth consecutive National League Most Valuable Player Award and seventh overall, records only the 40-year-old veteran can boast. Bonds received 24 of 32 first-place votes,MVP

  23. I just have to wonder if coaches were sending him a message last night putting him in, he was a active player no way does he stand around in sweat pants supposing anything, he has to be a pro , be ready , have his head into the game, if you listen to his interview clearly it wasn’t. They didnt have him on the sidelines to look pretty for the camera's Hopefully that is that last time for that to happen. Bills need players who are hungry to play, any time any place, even if it is garbage time, for him to complain he was not expecting to play, as there was no point and he was not used to being in play in situations where the game is out of hand, he need re-think that and quick. The message is be ready at all times the coaches will tell you what’s important. a young player getting anytime to learn most certainly is. Hopefully they all talk that over . Everyone need be on same page Listen to entire tape on buffalobills.com of JP post game comments
