Good post and good points. I have done a fair amount of research on this. I have an Alpha dog that is approximately 130 lbs. It is a Malamute mix. The Alpha role is stressful for a dog. They feel the burden of responsibility. Once you establish yourself as the Alpha, the dog will chill out immeasurably. It will feel no longer responsible for the safety and well-being of the "pack," which is how many breeds see things.

Man that was funny!!!

I know what you mean. My grandfather (not a rascist bone in his body) said "colored" or "Negro" because "black" was considered inappropriate. Now, "black" and African American (or Afro American) are considered terms du jour. What it will be in 20 years...who knows?

Right back at ya.

People who get up on their respective high horse to point out overly PC bull sh--, when absolutely no offense was intended by the original poster whatsoever.

Ya know, the thing is that he has done the same shtick for 20 years. It was very entertaining the first 10 years. How could you keep that fresh without losing the original? I'm not really sure. At least he's a better announcer than Nantz and Packer. Also, he's a helluva nice guy. Every year my family spends Easter on Siesta Key, Florida. He's always plugging a nice breakfast and lunch place called the Broken Egg. One year, my Dad & I are having breakfast, talking hoops (NCAA Tourney time) and I see this guy sort of staring at us from the next table. Sure enough, he offers his opinion on what we were just chatting about and there no mistake...its Dickie V. We ask him to join us and talk hoops, he gladly accepted. We chat about hoops for about 2 hours over coffee. The guy loves the game very much and is about as knowledgable a person as there is about college hoops. He even picked up the check. Since then we have seen him there a few times, he still remembers our names, and we chat with him about hoops, life etc. Does it get a bit old, sure. But he really does love the game and is knowledgable about it.

Pyrite Gal??? Anyone else see the irony there? Cause ieatcrayonz and Ed sure don't.

I think I'm scarred for life after seeing that.

She may not be the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree but she is pretty hot. She also seems like she'd be fun to party with for a while. Since the FHM & ESPN articles were recent, I'm willing to bet ole Kris got caught by her in his hotel room with some other girl in Sarasota. Obligatory Pics... http://www.annabenson.net/gallery.htm

We're not worthy!!

What is the league format? How is scoring done? Who is on your team? How does your team stack up with the others on paper? The point is I can't offer you trade advice without knowing anything about your team & league.

I would have, if they made the 200k a year job contingent on it!!

We don't know squat about what really happens in that locker room despite opinions to the contrary. You get some statements flippantly made to the press by vets who realize the end of their careers is near and some people are ready to give up on the guy. Look, I have no idea if JP can play QB in the NFL. Neither does anyone else on this board. Neither, for that matter, do most of the Bills right now. All I'm saying is to try and have a little patience with the kid before we crucify him. This incessant beating of JP before he has even had a chance to prove himself is getting tiresome.

I actually was asked this question in an investment banking interview a few years back...You are in a room with three light switches. Each controls one of three light bulbs in the next room. You must determine which switch controls which bulb. All lights are off. You may flick only two switches and enter the room with the light bulbs only once. How would you determine which switch controls which light bulb? Answer: Turn one light bulb on for about twenty minutes. Then turn it off. Turn another switch on. Then enter the room and feel the two bulbs that are off. The hot one will be attached to the switch that you just turned off.

This is starting to get ridiculous. JP played 8 games. Thats it. In those 8 games he looked awful, brilliant and every spot in between. Give the kid a chance. Give him a full year as the starter, then look at what you have. From the beginning of the year to the end. My guess is that you'll have a guy who has increased his moments of brilliance and reduced his god awful moments signficantly. Remember it took years for Brees to develop in San Diego, McNair in Tenn etc. Open competition between the QBs, sure. I hope JP wins. I hope he becomes the starter because he does have talent. Lets give him a chance and not beat him down.

I see the Jets taking a QB. The Pack will take Hawk. The Niners Davis and possibly Oakland the other QB or Ngata. You laugh but I think there's a real chance D'Brick falls to us. 1- Bush 2 - Mario 3 - Leinart 4 - Cutler 5 - Hawk 6 - Davis or Huff 7- Young or Ngata 8 - D'Brick?

Ummm...no.

Some decisions that were made......say, like not re-signing Phat Pat???? Fug you Donahoe!!

Unfortunately it was a better era than anything in the recent past. And the remake into a movie I'd like to see is Cheers...original cast.

In my profile...at the Meadowlands tailgating for the Giants-Bills game a few years back.

Shane Matthews?

Happy Celebrating to All.

Sitting decent, not yet winning but within striking distance (2nd place) in all 3 pools. Two things must happen for me... 1- Duke wins National Title 2- UCLA goes to Final 4 (offsets Kansas loss) Then I'm golden. Funny thing is, I picked 26/32 1st round games right, but only got 9/16 2nd rounders. Still have 6/8 and 3/4 left tho.

Jet Blue is the best airline in America, bar none. And yes, they welcome outside food. Remember once I hadn't been back to Buffalo for a while, on my to Buffalo International to head back to NYC, I called and found out the flight was delayed. Detoured at La Nova. Yep, brought on a large cheese/pepperoni pizza and just enjoyed it the whole flight home. Mixed well with the vodka/iced teas I was making in the seat. Had the stewardess grab me a few bottles of Vodka in exchange for two slices. Great trade.
