Thank you for my morning chuckle
My across - the - cubicle mate said, "What are you laughing about - you never laugh."

At the end of January, 2006 - your cell phone number may not be quite so private
Rumor:
“JUST A REMINDER...In a few weeks, cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sale calls. YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS... To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888/382-1222. It is the National DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years. PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS...”
The official story: (?)
The federal government does not maintain a national cell phone registry. Personal cell phone users have always been able to add their numbers to the National Do Not Call Registry — the same Registry consumers use to register their land lines — either online at www.donotcall.gov or by calling toll-free 1-888-382-1222 from the telephone number they wish to register. Registrations become effective within 31 days of signing up and are active for five years. There is no cut-off date or deadline for registrations.

Parcells would be perfect and the best $10M per year Ralph could spend. Tuna would get the team back to he playoffs. The Bills are much better off right now than the Jets and Cowboys teams when he took them over. More importantly, he would right the organization. The impact he had on the Patriots and Jets is still evident today.
If Parcells was ever tired of the limelight - he certainly could escape it in Orchard Park
I think it would be the best move RW ever made since staying in '96 but it is highly unlikely to happen

And Rivers' trade value took a nosedive today, and given that and Brees' injury, dealing him likely won't happen.
Rivers did nothing today in a meaningless game against a disinterested opponent.
His trade value is based on his previous salary (two years ago) and his time in the league versus what a Top 5 (Leinhart) will command in new 2006 $$.
A shoulder separation (degree not reported) certainly has some impact on Brees but if it is limited - S.D. would be foolish (IMHO) to cast their dice with Rivers.
The Chargers played the worst NFL schedule - yet posted the best record against the best of the rest.
I blame Marty !

Having been already knocked-out of the playoffs, this was a meaningless game. But instead it turned into a horror show. Brees suffers what looks like a BAD injury, which means his availability for a good portion of next year could be in doubt. And he's an UFA. So what do the Chargers do with him? Tough decision there, for sure. Then to top things off, Rivers goes into the game and looks bad, REAL bad. So there goes the trade market for him, at least for a 1st rounder. But maybe they'll now have to keep him because of Brees? I don't know, but I would NOT want to be AJ Smith right now.
Dislocated shoulder - hardly career ending
The Chargers have a serious problem - resign Brees and/or deal Rivers ?

Van Miller did do the Buffalo braves games at one time

Cynical & Agressive ? Sounds like my M-I-L
Here's a suggestion - don't start with a premise and try to improve on it
-
Just charge them $3.75 a beer and kick them back out - they're so stoned they won't know the difference and Buddy's food tab will be paid through 2007

As the season winds down - the fakers are easier to pick out when their ineptitude starts to shine through
The first 80 people in the Pick'em pool got all three Saturday games right
Of the first 100 players - only ganesh and gringo starr picked the Bills - or did they randomize and have a brainless computer pick them ?
If not, three cheers for optimism

I've never been on the receiving end of the big guns - but tales told of "no joy" at impact point
Here's some history - read down to Korea & Vietnam

The technology is time proven - plus add into today's UAV's - a spotter's dream.
Plus the big "tubs" hold a lot of cruise missles

It seems like every guy we catch or capture is the #2 or #3 guy in Al Qaeda. We always do very good, but not good enough....in the eyes of the public.
I really feel that if we captured Bin Laden, it would be a huge morale boost for our troops, and our people at home. I wish it would happen. And swifty bust out the tazer.
No one knows if he's dead or not (except him).
Keep picking them off !

The Pakistani military worries about India (which has a defined) border much more than they care about which local warlord owns that fuc*ing mountian/valley at the end of the world.
Seeing as Pakistan doesn't get all (or any) news from CNN/BBC etc. - the locals in said lost acres of probably don't care as long as there is no shrapnel falling on them and killing their livestock.
Western standards don't apply in other lands
Pakistan & India (as a sub-continent) are rapidly growing economically but the ingrained culture doesn't always keep up.
And - One more bad guy is dead - what's the down side ?

SDS said I can have this one (if I ever earn an intern)

For the diehard NFL fan, this obviously doesn't apply...
Maybe we're paying a little too much attention to the Bills? Across town, there's a hockey team with more key injuries, but that's finding a way to win (4-1 on Colo., and 17 points out of the last 20, as of this writing). They average in the bottom third of the league in attendance (see today's New York Times for the figures).
Across town yet again, there's a college basketball team with six wins and a single loss. They had 3500 the other night against their highest-profile opponent so far (Fresno State, which was a nationally televised "Bracket Buster" game for the UB Bulls last year in Cali--and the Bulls won). They've played local rivals Canisius and Niagara, to small crowds.
The Bills are at capacity every game. They're 4-8. I do realize that the presence of the team helps put Buffalo on the map, and eight nights per year, puts customers in local hotels and restaurants. But shouldn't we be devoting SOME attention to the other teams that are bearing our standard? Rebuild, Bills. I'll always like you. But in the meantime, let's go Sabres, and let's go Bulls. And let's show up.
Please post somewhere else - the Sabres play 40+ games most of which are meaningless until about February and the UB Bulls (Class of 76) get the support they deserve
The Bills play 8 games a season that everyone there cares about !

Based on one season (and the Rose Bowl) any NFL team that gambles on Vince Young deserves what it gets.
What NFL defense can't "spy" on such a player ?
Mr. Vick has sure been a "difference" maker in the overall scheme
