Someone mentioned this on a Phins board last week when talking about the Buff loss (I think it was the Phins' board). But I can't remember a SINGLE instance of New England getting a bad call when the game was close in th 4th. On the other hand, they seem to be the beneficiary of tons of close, game-changing calls in the 4th.
Anyone able to remember one in the last, say, 5 years?
Never in the past few years. The Pats fans bring up the Sugar Bear play, which was like 30 years ago.

ORCHARD PARK, NY - The Buffalo Bills announced Wednesday that Turkey Hill Dairy has purchased the remaining seats for the Bills Kids’ Day preseason game against the Packers at Ralph Wilson Stadium making the event sold out for the second consecutive year. The game will air live Saturday, August 20 at 6:00 pm on WKBW-TV in Buffalo, WHAM-TV in Rochester, and WTVH-TV in Syracuse.
Turkey Hill’s Giant Cow has been visiting stores in the Rochester and Buffalo communities over the past 2 ½ weeks giving away four packs of tickets for the Kids Day game with purchase of Turkey Hill’s Buffalo Bills Stampede Sundae ice cream.
Turkey Hill Dairy’s involvement with the weekend extends beyond Saturday’s game. Today at Buffalo Bills Bausch & Lomb Training Camp at St. John Fisher College, Bills’ TE Mark Campbell, Women & Children’s Hospital’s Miracle Child, Natalie Rivera and Hospital Foundation representative Lisa LaTrovato will help Turkey Hill Dairy and the Buffalo Bills kickoff the 2005 football season with the relaunch of Bills Stampede Sundae flavored ice cream.
The flavor features vanilla ice cream with chocolate footballs and peanut butter and fudge swirls. Turkey Hill Dairy introduced the Bills’ themed ice cream flavor last summer. The company donates a nickel for every carton of ice cream sold to Women & Children’s Hospital of Buffalo. Turkey Hill Dairy will continue the promotion this season.
To celebrate this partnership, Turkey Hill Dairy will also host an ice cream party for patients at Women & Children’s Hospital on Friday, August 19th from 1-3 pm. Turkey Hill will provide ice cream and sugar free treats while Bills’ mascot Billy Buffalo will provide the entertainment.
As part of “Kids Day,” the Packers game will feature an interactive area for the kids, a Buffalo Bills Camera and Photo Album for the first 10,000 kids 14 & under, plus a fantastic laser light special effects show following the game. Also attending is Turkey Hill’s Giant Cow. This 25 foot long, 13.5 foot high fiberglass cow comes with free ice cream and prizes for all.
Last year, the “Kids Day” attendance of 71,549 ranked second on the Bills all-time preseason attendance list.

I expected worse. It had its moments, never top the original.

I have heard that the Bahamas are fun, if you are looking for a great vacation setting, but hanging around the all inclusive "americanized" resorts causes you to lose the local flavor. I have also heard that in the Bahamas, you do not really WANT to experience the local flavor!
True?I found that the west coast of Mexico, specifically Puerto Vallarta allows you have the best of both worlds. Stay in the resort, if all you want is a beach and sunshine, or get on a local bus and explore. We have taken busses to other towns and fended for ourselves quite easily, and I speak NO Spanish.
We even did our own "bar crawls" rather than taking the guided tour with all the crazy Americans (U.S. and Canadian Americans that is).
What is Cancun like?
Cancun is nice, but I prefer to stay in the Riviera Maya area about 40 miles away. Less hustle and bustle. The resorts in the Riviera Maya are are great and price is right. Plus there are ruins nearby, good snorkeling, dolphin swim, etc.
Puerto Vallarta is nice as well, but I book more to the Riviera Maya area because from the east coast it is closer. Resorts like Westin, Club Hotel Riu, Camino Real all beautiful hotels.
Also with some of the prices for Caribbean going up, you can do Hawaii for about the same rates.

Being a travel agent, I can give you some advice.
Atlantis is a awesome resort. You are probably though looking to spend about 300 per night and up depending on when you go.
Paradise Island is the best part of the Bahamas in my opinion. You can stay at Comfort Suites which is right down the street, and use full facilities at the Atlantis. You can get a room there for about 150 and up per night.
Downtown Nassau is horrible in my opinion. You will get hassled for weed, and at the straw market. They sell lots of junk there.
Some good buys for vacations in my opinion would be in the Playacar(Riviera Maya) are of Mexico, sometimes you can go All Inclusive(flight, meal, drinks, tips) there for a week for about 1000 per person, they have some nice resorts like Iberostar and Secrets.
Another Nice Island but a little more pricier would be Aruba. Divi is nice right on the beach all inclusive usually around 1500 per person for a week. People won't hassle you there either.
