George Lucas - a no talent hack who was lucky to have competent writers and film makers work his ideas into good films. He probably sits around at Skywalker ranch in his Ewok footie PJs watching his digitally enhanced home movies where Chewie is his best man at his wedding and the Max Rebo Band plays his kids birthday parties. giggling histerically to himself about how awesome and clever he is! What a bag with which one douches!

All that was bad enough, but when I saw the Lions at #9 I just stopped reading. There is NO way that team makes the playoffs this year, they are just too young (IMO of course)...

Justin Babin was a bust when he was drafted by Houston, but turned into a decent player with Tenn...

WHAT THE HELL MAN????? When did the bastards change it????

Richmond VA. The wife says it's on already...

wha? My wife just called and said it started at 3pm? Anyone confirm this?

everyone knows that Obama himself generated this storm to kill off all the evil rich people Hedd. You just won't admit it is all...

he'll be fine. However, the good news is that he's got no power which means we are all spared from his Retatta-like posts for a few hours!

If Kelsay is cut, it just means Ralph is cheap...

Obama hates rich people...

Pretty intense here in Richmond. Hope everyone is ok!

So you're gonna send me a check? SWEET!!!

Save your money. Or give it to me and I will come kick you in the nutz Sunday afternoon. Same damn thing...

are there any OL in there? Cause we could use, like four of them...

Not that I wish the old guy harm or anything, but I'll be more excited for this team then than just about anytime since about ~1995 or so...

ugghh...make it stop....Is it really only the second week of preseason. I feel like it should be about week 12 by now...

Like they'd try that in a real game...silly man!

relief.... that I wasn't suckered into the hype of this team, yet again, and buy Sunday Ticket. It's nice to NOT have the feeling of getting kicked directly in the Ballz repeatedly every Sunday...

they had a guy from Verizon on the radio show this morning talking about this very issue today in VA. Incidences of vandalism to Verizon equipment has nearly tripled in the month the strike in VA has been going on...

He's on the local DC sports show, and has not been syndicated as extensively as he was with Fox Sports prior to getting canned for Screamin' A. They are working at getting him back up around the country, but has been changed twice since returning about a year ago. Started out on Sporting News Radio, but is now affiliated with Yahoo Sports. If you have XM/Sirius you can get him on channel 208...

Caught this interview on the way to work, and decided to post a brief summary. I was surprised Czabe had Fitz on due to the fact that he is pretty down on the Bills since, well, forever. Anyways, not too much on the Bills current season information, but interesting non the less: 1. Czabe mentioned that Ryan Fitzpatrick was the "5th smartest person in football", and asked Fitz if he wanted to dispute that ranking. Ryan said that he didn't think the other four guys had the course load he had at Harvard (the identities of the other four persons allegedly smarter were not mentioned). 2. Asked Fitz about the Miami scandal. Ryan said that "all the people out there saying this goes on at all schools, I can guarantee this doesn't happen at Harvard". Mentioned that they don't have athletic scholarships there. Czabe then brought up the common complaint that is kicked around "college football is a full-time job, I don't have time to study excuse, you seem to have had time to do it". Fitz then also points out that he didn't have to support his entire family either, that he was fortunate to have had his parents help him so he could focus on school, not everyone is that lucky. 3. Czabe mentioned the trade of Evans, cutting Maybin, says "The Bills aren't exactly in the running for the Super Bowl, are they?". Fitz then talked alot about the philosophy we have heard from Nix and Gailey about finding guys who need an opportunty and getting them in there, and moving out those who they can get something for. 4. Czabe mentioned the good game by the defense vs. the Bears, citing the 9 sacks. Fitz says the defense is much more "stout" this year, with the additions of people like Marcell Dareus, and believes that they will be much improved this season. 5. Lots of back and forth about the Beard. Czabe asked about the status of the beard so far, and Fitz says it's as long as it has ever been for training camp. When asked if he will keep it throughout the season, Ryan says yea, although attempts will be made to keep it trimmed down. The radio hosts asked him if he wants to surplant that college kid with the crazy long beard as the best beard in football, and Fitz laughed and said that he didn't think he could go that far. 6. When asked which condition was harder to overcome, being a 7th round draft choice or coming from a small school, everyone agreed that small schools, especially the "smart" ones was a harder obstacle to get over. Fitz also mentioned that he personally felt like early in his career people questioned where his desire for football ranked, due to the fact that he got an awesome education. 7. Czabe asked about Stevie Johnson and what he was like. Fitz mentioned the 'plan' again, and that he knew right away that Stevie had major talent but was not seeing the field due to T.O. being there. He reiterated the fact that the guys on the team seem to like the fact that it doesn't matter if you are a 1st rounder or undrafted, if Gailey and Nix believe in your ability, then they want you on the field. 8. Czabe was interested in how T.O. did in the lockeroom. Ryan said that he never had even a small issue with him at all, but that he felt he was also likely on his "very best behavior". Said that he has worked with some great recievers, Holt, Bruce, 85, T.J. T.O., Evans and now Stevie and they all think they are open every play! So Czabe asked him 'when you are watching the game films on monday, do you ever say, Look dude your totally covered there, you ain't open?". Ryan says yeah, but the one time you do throw it when they are covered, they are essentially proved right anyway! That was about it, as I said, not much real football stuff that I remember, but overall, Fitz came off as a very well spoken, and humble kind of guy. SOunds like he'd be a cool guy to hang with and drink a few beers actually, and comes off like he would actually do that with a fan. Just my opinion.

You've heard of "Fire and Ice", right? Well, here they are, you're 2011 Buffalo Bills Offence: LUKEWARM WATER!!!!!!

Anyone would look sharp in those sharp unis...

I don't know how many of you who enjoy this show have bothered to check out the source material, but if the writers plan to go down the same roads with respect to the story (and it appears they are, at least for season 2) then all I can say is hold onto your seats! There were many, manu times while reading the books that I said, "HOLY ****, they didn't really just do that? The key to this show, and where ballnumbing dreck like "falling skies" fails is that TWD is more about how people react to disasters and the walking dead themseleves are a backdrop to what is going on. In "falling skies" the characters are just not that interesting and there is no emotional attachment...

hmmm...suprisingly good!
