On ESPN News now. A couple of seconds quicker than the live feed.

It was TV.

Yup.

Got the program alert going.

Mayor Richard Daily is now wanting a 2nd NFL team in Chicago, and promises to build a 90,000 seat dome stadium. This is to help win the bid for the 2016 Olympics. Why is it that the more I read about the Bills in the past few days, that we'll be talking about the Chicago Bills in the next 6 to 8 years? I need a cleansing...

I'm hearing that the new sideline reporter will be this guy.

If Pete Carroll was the head coach, I can definately see a stuffed dummy dressed like Josh Reed being thrown off the administration building at One Bills Drive during a halloween practise.

I like this for P.R. Purposes only. Someone said that Modrak would do the actual dirty work of being a GM, with Marv being the public front. I can see why people would throw this name out, but no. There's quite a bit of water flowing around Buffalo. Do we really need the Vermeil river every Sunday in Orchard Park? Not a fresh start, but it keeps in line with the Buffalo AARP's. You know, that really isn't a bad idea. He does know how to run an offense. In Oakland, he had more responsibilities. He has proven twice that he cannot administrator a full staff, but have him concentrate on the offense, and it could work. Would bring toughness, but unless it's a HC position, he won't make a lateral move. He has the Assistant HC duties as well as linebackers coach in SF. He'll need atleast a big say within the coaching staff, and I just can't see that happening with him in Buffalo.

Question. I haven't followed Thomas' career, but he really impressed me tonight. Has he always been this reliable? (In your post, it sound like it). I can see him as a 3rd round pick, if not a low 2nd round pick. Might be a nice pick-up for Buffalo!

Can't remember his name, but the TE for Texas had a great game! No, not a lot of flash, touchdowns, etc., but 10 catches, got open, provided a good safety outlet for VY. Someone who should get some props.

Not quite overtime, but pretty damn good pick!

TD is so brillant, he'll probably leave town, on Friday, flying on Independence Air. Oh yeah. In the words of a real General Manager, "Get out of town"!

Get the deluxe version. They have 2 R30 versions for sale. The cheaper one is just of the DVD. The deluxe version has the DVD's, audio CD's, decent pull-out for reading, and other stuff like a fake backstage pass, and guitar picks.

To be honest, this one fact impressed me with VY the most. When he scored with :19 left to go, no wild celebrations. No chest thumpings. He just unbuckled his chin strap, and calmly lined up to get the 2 point conversion. Only when the clock was at :00, is when he let it all out. To me, that shows that he is nothing else but a pros-pro.

I wanted USC to win badly, but I'm posting in this thread, simply because Vince Young proved tonight that he is the best player in college football, and the best QB in a long time. Leinart had a great game, but with the game on the line, VY stepped up in an amazing way. So, lets have some fun, and assume that Vince is going to come out in this years draft. Let the threads begin on how the Bills can trade up to get him!

I swear I just heard someone say "bulls*$t"

Got it running.

USC - 55 Texas - 21

I had just left for work, and tuned in KNBR in San Francisco. Gary Radnich had Glenn Dickey on, discussing the Raiders coaching position, and Dickey mentioned that the extension for the CBA has developed issues regarding the cap. Dickey then went on to say that Gene Upshaw told people within the league to plan for 06 without a cap. KNBR is very good at posting links to interviews done on-air. http://www.knbr.com/instantReplay.html

1 - Smart, smart man! 2 - Highly recommend that he picks up R30. It is hands and shoulders so much better than RIR. Less multiple camera switches in a short amount of time, and the easter eggs in the Anthem Vault are priceless!!! This might be a hard find, but I taped Phil Collins at the Montreux Jazz Festival in '96 on PBS. It is one of Phil's best performances, ever!

I'm starting to think rather strongly that TD must have pissed Ralph off big time, for Levy to come back in this role. Lying to the owner's face (and that's just my take) is not a good move. TD must have slung the BS right to Detriot, and enough throught the organization finally have had enough, including the bullseye for the s*%t.

The mining company knew 20 minutes after the initial report, that the miners were dead, but waited 3 hours before telling the family members??? Seriously. How can someone make this decision?

Well, nothing more to say, to think of those family members who were in the highest of highs, only to be brought to the lowest of lows.

I can't really blame the media at all for this one. As Anderson Cooper was reporting, someone from inside the church ran up to him, a friend of one of the trapped miners, and told Anderson while he was on the air, that all but one were alive. Saw the footage myself. Then they went to the reporter who was at the church/command center, and she confirmed that the families were told that they were all alive. This blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the mining company. The media, although it sounds horrible, were just doing their jobs.

Here's the mining company, passing the buck, saying that "we never told anyone that they were alive. Somone picked up a stray cell phone conversation". Idiots!!!
