Pit is not as good as their record indicates. Dont get me wrong, they are a very good club, but not 11-1 good. They have gotten pretty lucky recently, and big ben hasnt been anything special (though he looks good today).
The game in buffalo should be interesting. I think we can pull it out. But by no means is it "not a challenge". Playing a team that is 14-1 (or at worst 11-4) is ALWAYS a challange.
-
Well if they can add yards after the game is over.Why not just give us a win for the stevestojan calls in oakland.
Great Idea! Perhaps we can petition the league to give us a win in that game (so both us and okland have a W). Or at least a tie. A tie right now would be so key in this playoff race. I take it!
-
Agree...except for one thing...the playoffs for the bills started 11/21 vs. st louis. Any loss from then on out kicks us out of the playoffs.

I dont know. Im struggling vick vs. roth.
Plummer vs. KC is a good play though unless people really get under his skin with the finger thing.
Vick has been downright miserable the last 2 weeks and cost me a game last week.
I say Plummer.
Any input on vick vs. roth?

The NHL needs to fix this once and for all. If that means abolishing the NHL and starting a new league, so be it. Hockey needs to learn from the other sports. Here is what they need to do:
1) Establish both a minimum and a maximum salary cap.
2) Give Franchises breaks on the cap for resigning their own players to promote a long-term team identity and not just laundry.
3) Promote the college game as the road to professional Hockey.
4) Open up the ice by allowing the 2 line pass
5) Eliminate or restrict southern teams with little if any following until the market demands it (and I live in the south).
6) Pay all players in canadian money.
7) Hockey should not be played in June. Shorten the season and games will become more meaningful. Try a 60 game season for starters.
8) Drastically alter overtime so that every game will have a winner. My proposal: 1st a 5v5 5 min OT period followed by a 4x4 5 minute overtime period. If the game is still tied, do what college football does and give each team alternating 5x4 2 minute Power plays until the game is decided. That would be exciting.
9) Find that big time star and promote the hell out of him. Hockey has no gretsky or lemieux anymore (okay, so he still plays, its not the same). Ask the average Joe on the street who ITO, is the best player in hockey, and they are probably clueless. The NHL needs a face. This lockout is becoming that face.

This musta been the play where the refs spotted the ball in the wrong direction...idiots...

ALL upsets? come on prisco...

Take newsday with a grain of salt...but I have no reason to believe this isnt true....(I wish it wasnt though)

Make sure when you are giving her the uppercut to the jaw utter those famously annoying words "for the love of elevation"

JAX:
Missed from Jax 24
Punted from Jax 38 (53 yarder?) Nugent can make those
Oakland:
Punt from Oak 37
Jets:
Punt from the 37
Yep. Exactly. He makes those 3 50+ yarders (a stretch even for a good kicker), and we beat the jets and go to OT vs. Oakland and Jax.
Instead of 7-6, we would be at least 8-5 and possibly 10-3 right now. You tell me Lindell is a good kicker.
-
Kickers are fragile. You shatter their confidence and they are shot. Lindell has been beaten down by the fans and the coaching staff and needs new scenery. Look at Shayne Graham...

One other thing I like about my Ipod. I have the Itrip transmitter, which allows me to broadcast a weak FM signal, enough to play over my car radio without running any wires. Just tune into a dead station and program itrip to broadcast to that station and whappah....programmable radio.
-
i was hoping they'd come here too, but i don't think norfolk/va beach could support a team long term. within a decade the team would move out
I am afraid you might be right but Shhhh....dont let the secret out!
-
You would need to give me a "Regular mp3 player" to compare it too, but I have a Ipod, and I love it. It has alot of capacity, moreso than alot of the typical mp3 players you see in a store. That really is the big determining factor, hard disk size. Also the ease of the software.
-
I have followed this fairly closely for the duration. Living in norfolk Va, i was desperatly hoping they would come here.
The problem with the virginia bids now (NoVa and Hampton Roads), is that a good chunk of the money promised to baseball, was done so by the state of Virginia. This money had a sunset clause of Dec. 31 2004, which as you all konw is just a couple weeks away. The legislature met and decided not to extend this legislation. Bottom Line, NoVa and HR do not have a complete financial package anymore, and therefore are unlikely to aquire the expos for the 2005 season (not to mention neither has a place for them to play in 05 even if awarded the team)
Las Vegas and Portland would seem like the only places feasible at the moment if baseball wanted to grab a permanent location now. Portland has a very detailed financial proposal, however it appears as if the newly elected city council might not be as gung-ho on the idea as the old one was.
That leaves Vegas..Sin City. Home of casinos gambling and prostitution. Granted this is my kind of place, but somehow I just dont see MLB liking it all that much.
This just keeps getting more and more interesting...I wonder if those FA's they signed can get out of their contract if the team does not move to DC.
-
I thought Hines Ward was also UFA...did he sign an extension?
-
Anyone think he will actually try to swing the bat this year? LOL
As a yanks fan, this is the perfect place for him....Not on the Red Sox, and more importantly NOT on the yankees.
-
I was wondering that. THey kinda alluded to it on the mike mularkey show yesterday, and that was the first I had heard of it. Get well Tim..we need ya next year
-
Until they come up with a cap I just can't watch baseball anymore. These guys make too much damn money and the same teams are in it every year. How can anyone get excited about this "sport"?
I grew up a Yankees fan (my father is hardcore), but even I can't stand how they buy their teams. The lack of salary cap and complete control that the players union has over the league has ruined baseball for me.
Yep.
2001 Arizona Diamondbacks
2002 Anaheim Angels
2003 Florida Marlins
2004 Boston Red Sox
Yep, same teams in it every year...
People always complain about money. The fact is, and its being proven, that you cannot buy a championship in baseball. Complain all you want to about a salary cap, but it obviously isnt making a difference in the the results.
-
Well, it looks like there is a good chancewe get our playoff game this year. Unfortunatly its probably week 17 against pittsburgh.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Friday that even if Weis were hired by Notre Dame, he expected Weis to fulfill his duties with the Patriots.
"Charlie is here. Charlie is working hard. Charlie, I expect, will continue to be here and carry out his responsibilities through the season," Belichick said at his Friday press conference.
-
I am happy with Mularkey, but if the NFL didnt have such a horrid rule regarding hiring of head coaches, Wies would be head coach in buffalo or somewhere else in the NFL already.

Is that Vanessa Kerry?
