You can never know how good or bad teams will be from year to year. But based on last years records, our schedule looks tough early, but quite easy in the second half. Anyone care to offer a rebuttal? Are any of my predictions off?

I know for most of you, George W. Bush could be found guilty of eating babies and that would be okay. But I have never seen a president threaten the foundation of a nation like this guy has. I think I've seen it all, then he comes up with even more unbelievable stuff. Blah, blah, liberal...blah, blah, war on terror...you'll never convince me otherwise, and I'll never change your minds.

Klinsman is a too high profile coach. Seemed rather unrealistic.
A coach like Cesare Maldini or Gus Hiddink or even the hated Giovanni Trappatoni are types of coaches who like to coach clubs with less known players.
Hiddink won a champions league with PSV Eindoven against an unbeatable Milan squad that actually had Klinsmann as a player.
And in the end, it all gets flushed down the toilet because of some refs call. That's why I can't get into soccer.

I was high school friends with the Kenmore contigent of that band! Kenmore West! They are still around, and play gigs occaisionally in Los Angeles. Bill Manspeaker, the "creator", invested his "one-hit" wonder money wisely, and currently owns/runs a very lucrative computer animaition company based in LA. I think they did one of Michael Jacksons' videos, about a decade ago...lots of music video stuff.
Funny as it may seem, Green Jelly (Jell-O) might be better off, financially, than MJ these days....there is some justice!
I had heard that there was a Buffalo connection with that band. How many members from the ol' town?

While you can hook it up to a home stereo, you need to have your antenna near a south facing to get a signal. In my office in NYC there are many ground repeaters for my XM and I can get the signal at my desk which is far from any window.
The overal quality is not great. Heavily compressed audio on the music channels, talk radio sounds good.
I only have it for talk, Opie/Anthony, I would not invest in one because of the "digital quality".
I once rented a car with XM and was very impressed with the sound. But that was a indash receiver and 6ch sound system. Mine is a deck of cards that broadcasts on an emoth FM channel. And you're right, the sound for music is somewhere between AM and FM. Not that great.

I admit it. I said I would never pay for radio, having spent most of my life in FREE broadcasting. But I caved in and bought a Sirius radio. Why not XM? N-F-L! Want to be able to hear the home team PBP, which I believe they carry. (Please let me know if I'm wrong!) The NHL PBP is reason #2. Howard is a very minor reason.
Day one and I'm digging it. Anyone have experience with Sirius service?

That reminded me of the Yankees/Red Sox 2004 fiasco. 26 world titles can't erase the taste of that mighty choke job.

USA soccer...rated #5 in the world! Oh, really? Could've fooled me. Maybe they mean 5th from last.

Now, now people. Nobody on the Bills deserves to be hated. Kelly Holcomb is just doing his job, which is believing he's good enough to start. I'm not saying he is, just that a pro athelete has to believe he can do it. Otherwise they'd be selling insurance.

If a QB emerges in the forrest and no one is around to hear him, does he makes a sound? Very deep, man.

American politics in the 21st century is all about grand meaningless gestures. Freedom Fries, proclamations of victory in Iraq, and Fluffernutters. We get the governemnt we deserve.

Great, Buffalo is now going to miss the playoffs next year
Thanks alot media for jumping on the bandwagon, we may have just blown out a tire
Its all the medias fault now if they don't do well next year, or Darcy's if he keeps low balling Buffalo's top player to get them for nothing (Briere was given a qualifying offer of 1.9 mil, and yes I know it is just a starting point for the tender and they will renegotiate, but an offer like that is like spitting in the guys face, this team may be just too cheap to be a champion)
I agree. It's bad karma for Buffalo teams to be picked to win. Besides, Regier may not be able to keep this team together without increasing the payroll significantly. Something Golisano has said won't happen.

You're not a beer snob if you like beer that actually tastes like something. And you don't have to buy some expensive brand. Most bars carry a good assortment beyond the pedestrian Miller/Bud/Coors offerings.
My favorites:
>Newcastle Brown Ale
>Sam Adams Summer Ale (with a slice of lemon!)
>Any Heffeweisen (unfiltered wheat beer) including Widner or Harpoon UFO. (a slice of lemon goes great with this too!)
>Yuengling Amber Lager
By the way, Consumer Reports magazine once did a taste test of American beers. Mainly the run of the mill stuff. No microbrews, etc. Stroh's was rated #1 for taste, Michelob #2, and good ol' Pabst Blue Ribbon came in #3! So if you want a decent tasting beer at a bargain price, you can't go wrong with Stroh's or PBR.

why the harsh tone for "us western NY'ers"? sounds like he has a hard-on for Bills fans....and not in a good way. I mean, what were the masses in WNY supposed to do, call for RW to extend TD even further? while I don't disagree it was a pretty good draft, he acts as if TD was unceremoniously axed.
8. Buffalo. Surprise, surprise. All you western New Yorkers who kicked Tom Donahoe on his way out the door should remember the weekend of April 21-22, 2001: Nate Clements (80 games, 80 starts at corner), Aaron Schobel (75 starts as a DE), Travis Henry (3,749 rushing yards with the Bills) and Jonas Jennings (52 starts at tackle before leaving as a free agent for the Niners). Not bad.
OK, Peter. I'm remembering 4/21-22.............................oh, dear god, what have we done!!!!!!

Hey Peter, what's Tom record in the playoffs with the Bills? (sfx: crickets chirping) He acts like Clements, Schobel, Henry, and Jennings are all HOF'ers.

The point I am making is that scandals involving soccer refs are commonplace. Bad officiating is universal, but soccer refs get caught more, or somthing.

Considering that Italy's main league is under a cloud of scandal for match fixing and ref tampering, seeing two red cards onthe USA today makes me wonder if the refs weren't paid off.
But of course, crooked soccer is nothing new to their fans. They just shrug the shoulders and set some cars on fire. But it's not surprising considering soccer is the one game penalties are akin to death sentences and a single refs call can sink a team.
When was the last time a US sports league was accused of fixing games? 1919? That's one thing about American sports fans. We would never stand for what goes in soccer.

The answer is simple. If we win because of players TD drafted, then he gets credit. If we win because of players installed by Levy & Jauron, then no, he gets no credit.

Thank you to Fez and G.Host for their input. Turns out I had a virus and some crud lurking in my registry. Ran Ad-Aware and AVG and so far things look good.

World Cup more popular than NBA and NHL Finals

I think you'd find a good number of those "American" soccer fans are recent immigrants. Of course, we are talking World Cup, not MLS. The MLS is still way below the NHL and NBA.
