Seeds one and two go to the winners of each division in the MAC. Seed 3 then goes to the team from either division with the next best conference record. Several teams tied at 11-7 so they went to the tiebreaker. The tiebreaker they use is head to head, then common opponent record, as a result Western Michigan was awarded the 3 seed.

First round games are played at the higher seeds home location. Second, Third, and Champioship round games are held at Gund Arena in Cleveland.

LE, and its much more difficult to find a player at that spot then DT, or OT for that matter.

In hindsight this little talked about deal has proved to be very important to the Bills this coming season. Obviously replacing Pat is going to be difficult, but can you imagine having to replace both Pat and Schobel? Kudos to TD for getting Schobel signed, without him and Pat we would be in serious trouble next season.

Link works for me, not sure what the problem is.

Bottom line is Travis hurt his value this past season. While he kept his mouth shut for the most part and tried to play the role of a team player his lack of motivation was obvious. On top of that he may have destroyed one of his only chances to remain a starter by hard balling Arizona with contract demands. If the Bills decide on keeping Travis next year I expect him to play his ass off in what ever roll we give him. His NFL future will depend on not only how he plays but how he handles himself. So for those saying we can't keep Travis I disagree. If we keep him and he wants to see any future dollar signs in this league he will have to play his best ball. One more season like last year and Henry's value will drop even lower then it is today. Just like TD said, if the price isn't right they won't make a deal. In todays NFL you need two quality running backs so I certainly wouldn't be surprised if Henry remains a Bill next season.

I was electronically timed at Bowling Greens football camp at 4.75 and 4.77. That was when I was in peak condition about 6 years ago. Now I could probably barely crack 5 seconds.

For the life of me I just don't understand why so many people on here are keep freaking out about JJ and PW. How do you expect TD to handle this situation? Right now PW is trying to increase his leverage on TD by making outrageous contract demands. We all know TD is not going to over pay so he is just going to do what he has done for the past few seasons. This means waiting for the free agents to have their value determined by the market and then moving forward. He knows we can't afford to pay PW 5 million a year, same goes for JJ. Just like in years past he is going to wait to see if their value gets lowered. If the demands get lowered to realistic levels he will then begin negotiations. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but in todays NFL it is the only way to manage the cap for the long term.

The media hates the Bills so much the they're now replacing all current and former Bills with pictures of Jim Kleinsasser.

Being a Western Michigan alumni I follow MAC basketball pretty closely. One thing I will say is that Buffalo seems to be peaking at the right time. The MAC is usually a very tightly contested conference so the teams that peak at the end of the year tend to do well in the MAC tourney. As for a possible at large bid for Buffalo consider it a long shot. For them to have any chance they will need to win the next two, get to the MAC championship game, and make a decent showing. Even if that happens I still consider them a long shot for an at large bid. I don't say that out of disrespect, Buffalo is a very good team and they certainly deserve at large consideration. The problem is the selection committees lack of respect for MAC teams. Last year Western Michigan went 23-4, and 15-3 during conference play. All year long ESPN gave them an at large birth in their brackentology section. After such a great season you would think they would be a shoe in for an at large bid, well that wasn't the case. Thankfully for me they won the MAC tournament but had they lost just about every analyst had them getting the shaft. Is it fair? Hell no. But that’s just the way the committee views MAC teams. In any event this years MAC tourney should be very exciting. Parity has taken over the MAC this year even more then usual, and with 4-5 teams standing a chance to get the automatic bid it should make it very interesting.

Same here...

I always thought his last name started with a F

Not a bad idea for a year, my only concern would be Garcias arm strength. Just look at how many times this past year weak armed QB's struggled in Buffalo.

Since my response was so unreasonable why don't you share with us what a person should do in this situation. The question was what should a "NEIGHBOR" do if somebody else's dog has a barking problem. This thread has some great suggestions in it about controlling a dogs bark. The problem is only the dog owner would find these suggestions useful. Bark collars? Citronella collar/spray? How the hell is this person supposed to use that stuff if its not his dog? The ultrasonic thing sounds interesting, but don't you think this person should at least mention something to his neighbor before he spends any of his own money? If the guy is a reasonable person he may just buy a bark color or another anti barking device. If not then his only other options would be the cops or the ultrasonic thing. The cops probably would be a bad idea and that point, like you said it would be obvious who called them. Personally I would rather talk to the guy myself then call the cops. Then again who knows, maybe I just have exceptionally nice neighbors. So either talk to the guy, call the cops now, or buy the ultrasonic thing. Those are really the only three things you can do.

First and foremost its the owners responsibility to take care of this situation. That said I think a lot of people are just assuming the owner is negligent with his dog. Some dogs are predisposed to certain behaviors more then others. Shepard's dig and bark, Dalmatians are hyper, Labs are great swimmers etc. I'm sure the owner is at least somewhat aware of his dogs barking problems, but I'm also sure its at least a possibility that he doesn't know how to fix it. Just try and talk to the guy about, express your concern over the situation and offer him some possible solutions. If the guy is still a-hole about it then call the cops. They might not be able to do anything about it but it could scare the owner into taking things a little more seriously.

I'm not so sure they can. I'm sure many like myself find it difficult to be patriotic when we so adamantly disagree with the actions being taken. Like I said before, I will always support the troops. To me that support has nothing to do with my patriotism or lack their of. So many people are dieing and for what? AKC posted it was for free elections. Well if that actually held up then yes that would be a legitimate reason, the fact is it won't. Eventually we will withdraw our troops and then what? Iraq will be left in shambles with no significant military and no means to stop the next insurgent from taking power. First we rallied around defending our country, then when we realized their was nothing being threatened. Next we rallied behind Iraq’s freedom and now their is no legitimate way to ensure that for the long term. It's just not worth losing Americans over and it never was. What I'm saying has got beaten to death, but since the elections this MAJOR issue in our society keeps creeping below the headlines. It's frustrating, seems like nobody gives a sh-- anymore.

First this thread should be in politics, but I digress. Just like most I respect the hell out of the sacrifices the military makes for the greater good. My problems not about the military, it’s about the mission. I'm sorry but what have we done in the last year to defend the right you just spoke of. Free speech? Rights? How have any of America’s actions been remotely close to those goals? If anything the path we have taken has had a negative impact on Americans. I'm just confused, just like many I have friends involved in this. I just don't understand any of it. Sometimes any decision is better then indecision, and while that philosophy may have floated at first it shouldn't anymore. Its like were stuck with our hand in the jar. Everybody knows we shouldn't be there but rather then admit that we just keep insisting its ok. Unfortunately the rest of the world won’t buy into to our sweet talk. At least for Bush the world suffered a major catastrophe in the Tsunami. That bought him at least a couple more months to try and find a legitimate reason for any of this.

It’s hard to explain the correct pronunciation online but I'll give it a shot. First drop the G sound, that’s the biggest mistake people make. The word is made of two syllables. Together its sounds like "heero". If you really want to get accurate the h at the beginning almost sounds like it has a g following it. It’s a spitty tongue rolling sound, kind of hard to explain online. All hail Greece

In Michigan people think we don't have accents. I say that’s impossible, everybody has an accent. Take the origin of the English language; I'm pretty sure no group of humans speak English the same way they did back then. Maybe I'm missing the big picture but if nobody speaks English the same way as when it originated wouldn't everybody have an accent? Stupid response I know but I'm drinking so I'm smart. IMO the Michigan accent is very nasally, probably similar to WNY. Then again I'm sure other people would be more qualified to make that comparison then myself.

She is most certainly the alpha in her relationship

New NFL policy forces teams to interview at least one minority cheerleading candidate for job openings. Either that or you have the makings of the worlds largest Bukkake half time show.

I have a story like that to. I'm walking up to this party a couple years ago with my Bills hat on. The chick that lives their is obviously wasted and she keeps yelling at me Bills suck, 4 straight super bowls etc. After I got over the initial shock of the situation I ask her what her favorite team was. She conveniently replies with the defending super bowl champion Buccaneers. So this chick won't stop, and it was getting to the point of major annoyance. It was obvious this girl knew nothing about football, and was being so rude to me that I felt the need to call her out. I ask her to name 5 players from the Bucs, I mean after all she has been claiming how she has been a huge Bucs fan for like 10 years. She responds with ONE player, ONE!!!!.....Warren Sapp. I proceed to have a little chuckle and it became obvious she didn't appreciate it. She says fine, you name 5 players from the Bills. I say what year? She says this year. If she didn't stop me at 30 I was going to name every player on the roster and practice squad. She gets so mad she kicks me out of the party. As I'm leaving all I can hear is Bills suck as I walk out the door. What a weirdo.
