I don't think people are overreacting. There is a sizeable contingent of Bills fans who say, if we have to suck, lets be 2-14, with both wins over Miami and get a good draft pick. Then its a successful season. Not sure how much time you spent living in WNY, but the Miami game is THE rivalry. The game that people get up for more than any other. Squish the fish, Bryan "Sucks" Cox, 0-for the 70s, Kelly vs. Marino showdowns, Miami is the game. COld weather? Our guys have to learn how to play in it and it has always been a decided advantage for the Bills. In fact, one of the most entertaining games I ever attended was the Snow Bowl back in 2003, Bills vs. Dolphins. Neither of us were world beaters, but it was a helluva game, enhanced by the rivalry. Point is, they could have given TOR any game but this one, this one has special meaning for many Bills fans. Also (and I'm not joking here), how will Miami get all their players in the country? They have multiple players with misdeameanor/felony convictions and DWIs. What will Miami have to do...leave half its roster at home?

But the Miami game doesn't matter right?

Ummm...we started winning.

At this point, it is more on the history of the rivalry than the rivalry itself. Of course, given the history, it does not take much to get the fires stoked. Of course, TOR has no appreciation of this history, so for them, its just another game. I would rather have seen the Jets game, the NE game or the Monday niter go to TOR than the Miami game.

We can't call it a rivalry with the Pats* when we always lose by multiple touchdowns. Is there a rivalry between the hammer and the nail?

Sorry...forgot...Ding...hot pockets are ready..

The Miami game is THE rivalry. Always has been, always will be. And no, the rivalry has not been replaced by the Pats*. Ridiculous, that we lose the Miami game to TOR. I would far rather give TOR the Monday nite game than the Miami game.

I'm pissed we lost the f$#kin Miami game. I try and go to that one every year. That sucks. F----Toronto!

I really like your mock draft. I would be ecstatic if that were our draft.

Cedar Point and Hershey Park don't open till May.

You have fallen in my eyes.

Sorry, didn't see a thread about it. If already discussed, Darin can delete this thread.

Apparently, there is a term with which I am unfamiliar..reconquista...meaning that eventually Mexicans will make up such a proportion of the American Southwest that they will try to return that territory to Mexico. Anyone know anything about this whole concept? Absolut Vodka has decided to play on the idea with this ad below that they were forced to pull over the weekend. The ad apparently ran in Mexico, stirring a bit of nationalism. http://michellemalkin.com/2008/04/04/absol...reconquista-ad/

And the plastic surgeon will take care of the other 5%. A good one and you will barely, if ever, know she was pregnant.

Congrats. I can't believe I came in 3rd!!

You heard that today? Sounded like a moron.

Nah, the Gov't will just socialize the downside risk of loss. See ....ding...Hot Pocket is ready!!

The official definition is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth (usually measured as GDP). When results are tabulated, we may see Q108 as being the first of the two quarters. Problem with the definition is that you can't officially say that we are in a recession until we are two quarters into the game.

No offense intended by this McCain backer, but the recession fears are real and the economy is in very real trouble. I don't think this is overblown at all. Housing prices and inflation (including food and energy, cause to exclude is BS) are the two major concerns.

Nice list. Let me confess me ignorance, and please someone enlighten me, Best Exit?

Fixed it for you.

I would actually be thrilled if we picked a DE at 11 and used our 2 and 4 to get back into the late 1st and grab a WR. We would still have the 3 for a CB and the compensatory 4 for a TE.

Based upon your description, the Anchorage-MatSu Valley Bridge makes a lot of sense. The other bridge, not so much. Is the ferry system that inefficient?

Excellent. Then today I'm thinking of a threesome with myself and two hot blondes, a great steak from Sparks and a glass or two of Scotland's finest. I can't friggin wait till tomorrow.

What he said. Your son will probably listen to a third party. Go to a hitting instructor and have him do the teaching. They use video review, and you really see things that you would not otherwise see.
