Maybe everyone's right & I'm just reading too far into things. But when Marv and Polian/Butler ran the show, our team always felt like a family and people were treated as such. Under TD, things have become too...corporate, for lack of a better word. I think our chemistry as an entire organization has suffered under the TD era. Under Marv, 11 years, 8 playoff appearances. Under TD, 4 years, no playoff appearances. Granted a relative oversimplification but there maybe something there.

Anyone get the feeling something isn't right here?

Thats the environement I work in. We basically come and go as we please, all anyone cares about is if the work gets done. Taking days off is never a problem and I've never called in sick. We are well compensated, but work hard. 70-80 hour work weeks do happen and you are expected to step up and perform. Conversely, you have the freedom to come and go as you please and can structure your day however you want (2 hour lunch to pick up something from Midtown for instance). The focus is the work itself, not on petty bull sh--, which is the great part of the job.

Hey Darin, I tried to PM you but not sure if it went thru. I have your book.

We made Tuesday nite more fun than Saturday!! I think I got home somewhere after 2 AM. It was a very good time.

I totally agree with you here. That is why I said lets not get into protected classes. My example was for fat people. A master's degree may very well be a bona fide job qualification, whereas being fat or smoking certainly are not job qualificaqtions. If this is directed at me, no reason to get nasty.

It really can't. But lets not get into protected classes (gays, women, minorities etc.). Lets say that I own a company, and decide that all employees will get on a scale, and be weighed. In the ineterest in having more good looking people, I will fire all employees who are more than 10 lbs over their optimum weight/height requirements. You and a bunch of others refuse to get on the scale. You're all fired. Ya think I may be sued? Damn right I will and I should. Now, smokers will never be deemed a protected class and I'm certainly not an employment lawyer, but these people may very well have a cause of action for at the very least, emotional distress.

It really was a blast. We were cheering for the comeback game as if it was really on TV. I was outside having a smoke and some guy asked me what was going on, I said we're watching a 13 year old NFL playoff game. He saw Marv and said cool, came in and had a beer. What a great time. Course, todfay I'm feeling the effect of all thoise beers and shots of Crown!!

This is completely unbelievable. A company has no right to control what you do after working hours. Nor should they. I hope this company goes out of business because of the high cost of litigation. Cause they're gonna find out that the cost of insurance payments are nothing compared to the cost of legal fees.

Hence the reason people want us to drop all of our available cap $$ on John Abraham or another DE, when Schobel/Kelsey will be very good this year. Watch for Kelsey to have a breakout year.

2006 huh? Is that before or after the defense starts getting old,.

What happens if we go 6-10 b/c Losman lost a couple of games on his own for us? I can't take this rebuilding sh-- anymore!!

I'd buy the book. I always wanted to do it, even looked at some land, but figured it was kinda outta my league right now b/c I'm working so much. Maybe later on in life, tho.

I think he's a perfect fit for a backup. One question...can he catch the ball out of the backfield?

Anyone want to help a brother get an auto'd copy? Send me your copy & I'll get it auto'd, then mail it to ya. Or, the fee for the book. PM me if serious, as I'll be there.

Just bring back the ole standing Buffalo logo on the sleeve. Give a rod to the tradition while still keeping the charging Buffalo on the helmet.

I second that nomination!!

These are pretty cool jerseys, at least the bottom ones with the sleeve logo. The rest of the logos I could do with out. http://www.billszone.com/jjamezz/billsunissite/otherd.html

BUMP...This thread is too funny to let get away.

Now THAT was funny!!

True, but modify it a bit and say a stranger and my dog are both caught in a strong riptide, one will be pulled under. My answer is my dog.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the education. I have been following the story.

No question, my dog. He'd do the same for me. The starnger may save his/her pet gerbil first.

Forgive my ignorance, but if Jupiter had become a second star, and this Titan is very similar to early Earth, does that mean that a second Earth could have been created? Is Titan as far away from Jupiter as we are from the Sun? Also, why would a second star, that far away, have meant the end of us? Would it have had an effect?
