    1. You shouldn't hate.

    2. "You shouldn't hate" sounds a little preachy to me

    3. People often find religion and become preachers while behind bars

    4. Most miami dolphins end up behind bars

    5. I hate the miami dolphins even though I shouldn't hate. I have chosen instead to focus all of my hate in one place.

  2. 1. Cablebabe, #89, Lori, Aussiew, NJS, AiO...

    2. These are the ladies of TBD (you forgot blzrul)

    3. TBD stands for 2 Bills drive and also To Be Determined

    4. It is To Be Determined if the dolphins ever win another game

    1. Double date with Fabio :blink:

    2. At the end of a double date with Fabio, you're likely to hear a woman scream "I can't believe it's not butter" (Unless you're a TBD poster and you chicken out)

    3. Butter is often served on bread

    4. Bread and water is the menu at many prisons which are the homes of ex-dolphins

    5. I hate the miami dolphins

  4. Escape Goats (hehehehe)

    2. When goats escape you have to round them up in a big goat rodeo

    3. A goat rodeo is a term used to describe a disorganized mess

    4. The miami dolphins are a disorganized mess

    66520[/snapback]

    1. !@#$ Maimi

    2. Maimi is a misspelling of miami (you're lucky too because if you capitalize miami, I refuse to respond).

    3. Spelling errors often occur in places where nobody speaks the language of the land (English)

    4. No one in miami speaks English

    5. I hate the miami dolphins

  6. Even with the Bills 0-4 and the fish below them in the standings, there is still plenty of room for hating the fish. I still hate them like no other.

     

    To prove this, I will revive my 5 degrees of hating the dolphins thread. Here's how it works. Type something (anything) into line one. By line 5, I'll connect it to: "I hate the miami dolphins". Here is an example from last year:

     

    1. The Beverly Hillbillies

    2. One of the main characters in the Beverly Hillbillies was "Jethro"

    3. The Band "Jethro Tull" had a big hit with Aqualung

    4. Aqua is the main color of the miami dolphins uniforms

    5. I hate the miami dolphins

  7. As a 50 something year old Bills fan, I have been there from the beginning.  I have seen some terrible teams. 

     

    This team is the most frustrating team I ever remember but not because there is no talent but just the opposite that we are 0 - 4 with the talent we have.  One play here, one play there, we are 2-2, 3-1, even 4-0.  It would be crazy to dismantle this team, its management and start all over again.  There may be a couple of moves that are necessary (and unfortunately Bledsoe may be one of them) but this is not your '68 Bills.  You 30 and under Bills fans don't have a clue as to bad.

     

    I share your frustration and it is easy to try to point your finger at the villan of your choice (Donohoe, Bledsoe, Wilson, McNally) but we are so stinking close.  I have been through too many rebuilding programs and I am not ready to go there again when we are so close.  Hang in there.  Don't be a total pessimist and give it up.  Go Bills.

    Have you ever seen a version of the Bills with less heart and killer instinct? Have you ever seen a player or team grow heart?

  8. How about saying that JP is a rookie who has missed 10 weeks of practice and hasn't thrown a pass in a game situation (preseason) since mid-August?

     

    I can't wait to watch the guy play either, but rusty and inexperienced isn't a good combination in the NFL.  You might be able to get by by being one or the other, but not both at the same time.

    65044[/snapback]

    You also can't get away with being slow and dumb at the same time. Bledsoe won't ever get any faster or smarter, but JP will get more experienced and less rusty.

     

    As a matter of fact wouldn't an average speed, weak armed, smart, and somewhat gutty qb be better than an incredibly slow, strong armed, dumb, somewhat gutty qb?

  9. But why?  You've obviously formed your opinion on Mein Kampf and White Power music based on others' reports or criticisms of them.  Because those criticisms are (in this case rightly) generally accepted, this is OK.  But if no scholar had ever deconstructed or sought to understand what Hitler was doing or what white supremacists are doing, likely many more would be under the sway of those ideas.  In the same way, eliminating the distance you've fabricated between yourself and in this case the Moore film would enable you to make an honest judgement about it instead of jabbering on about how Michael Moore is an !@#$.  Is it that you don't like the idea that the movie could affect you in some way other than that which you already feel?

     

    As I've said, I've seen the film and think it raises some valid concerns but goes way overboard in other respects.  But I own that criticism as a viewer. I will admit he hasn't done everything in his power to earn Americans' respect, but those who haven't seen F 9/11 and criticize specific aspects of it haven't proven anything other than that they toe the party line in hating Moore blindly.

    How do you feel about the book "Unfit for Command"?

  10. I've been a Bills fan since I was 4 years old. I've seen some bad teams in that time, I've seen some great teams of course. Until the last few years I haven't seen a team that is so hard to love.

     

    Right now I see a team of losers. It is a team with some players like Coy Wire that have absolutely no talent, and a team with some players that have talent but do not use it properly.

     

    Drew Bledsoe - In the NFL today, you have to have a good combination of arm, feet, brains and guts to be an effective QB. You don't have to have tons of each, but you need at least some. Bledsoe still has his arm. He has some of his guts left. Not much. He never had too much of a brain and is even more prone to dumb plays than ever. He has no feet whatsoever. This combination makes him tremendously easy to game plan against. Other teams can simply take away huge chunks of a basic NFL offense before the game even starts. He's a great guy and started a great cause called Parenting with Dignity. He should retire with dignity. There is not a chance he can bring a team to a championship in the NFL. Ever.

     

    London Fletcher - He is way too aggresive and overplays too much. You can't afford your MLB to do this. He plays dumb.

     

    Lawyer Milloy - This quick healer is needed by his team. Where in the blue hell is he? Does he have to show up at OBD each week or are the Bills able to use direct deposit for his paycheck?

     

    Troy Vincent - His injured knee will allow this character guy to focus his attention on his budding union career instead of letting giving a stevestojan about winning get in the way.

     

    Travis Henry - If the drafting of McGahee was such a slap in the face why hasn't he learned to pick up a blitz in the year and a half since the pick?

     

    Nate Clements - He will do well after he skates out of town and goes to a team where he can let other guys do the dirty work. This way he can be a "playmaker" and not have to worry about little things like knocking down passes on 4th down,

     

    Rian Lindell - How hard can it be to practice kicking in the off season? On second thought, how hard is it to spell Ryan?

     

    What do all of these guys have in common? The GM. TD never won a thing in Pittsburgh and it sure doesn't look much better here. The choices of Vincent, Milloy, Bledsoe, Wire and Lindell are obvious failures (with some exception for the time being with Vincent). That does not bode well for Josh Reed. I'm still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt since it basically takes a miracle to have a positive play in this offense. TD's utter lack of attention to the OL is baffling. His last choice of a coach (Williams) was a dud. I like MM so far but that doesn't mean he'll be great. He just doesn't have any winners to work with right now. Evans had better watch his back because he looks pretty good right now which makes him an exception. There is no 1st rounder next year beacuse we preferred someone that I hope turns out to be the next Jim Kelly. So far, he is Rob Johnson with brittle bones. I hope that is a fluke but TD seems to have a knack for injury prone selections.

     

    All of this would be depressing but livable if anyone in the organization seemed to give a stevestojan at all. My guess is that some do, but I have seen no evidence of it.

     

    I've been posting on this forum for several years. I've never posted something as negative as this. I just think that losing a game or two at the end is inevitable. Losing four in a row at the beginning of the season is absolute proof of a loser's mentality. It is hard to get rid of that mentality, but that is now MM's job. I wish him luck. I'm rooting hard for him.

  11. MM is out to make money...his claim to fame is his political views..so if he lies, why does he care..he needs to sell his movie to make his millions...I'll give him this..He's carved a nice niche for himself and done quite well..But I wonder how he sleeps at night myself. ...But I doubt he has trouble.

    62500[/snapback]

    I gotta believe he does have trouble sleeping. A dude that size has to have some major snoring issues. It probably wakes him up all the time.

  12. I am looking for a house -- probably a twin or a rowhouse.  The median price for a home here is $168K, which is about my price range.  Yet every time I tell my realtor I'm interested in a property, it's already been sold, sometimes in a matter of days

     

    My question is: can the economy really be as bad as the Democrats say when the housing market, at least here in the Philadelphia area, is still robust?  Is housing a leading or lagging indicator?

     

    Also, I was preapproved for a loan at 5.75 percent.  Is that a good rate, or should I shop around some more?

    62489[/snapback]

    IMO, you've partially answered your own question. The housing market is up (at least to a degree) due to low interest rates. Also IMO the current "values" of homes are a bit dangerous. The consumer debt numbers in the US are not good. If people begin to default on home mortgages down the line somewhere due to mounting debt from other sources, the values will be sure to take a hit and there could be a downward spiral.

     

    I don't want to rain on your parade. It sounds like you've planned out a budget and can afford the new home. That is a great thing. It doesn't really make sense to wait until the market crashes until you buy your home. The market will have a large impact on what you pay. The best advice I can give is that you get a house you can picture yourself living in for a long while. The money is important, but the house is what you live in. Unfortunately, the current climate may mean you have to make a quick decision. Make it a good one.

     

    As for the mortgage, it is good you have a rate locked in. In most of those loans you can take advantage of rate drops if they come along. Keep your eyes open. I am not too up on the current rates, but they are always changing. Even a quarter point can make a difference.

  13. Maybe stevestojan is onto something watching "Survivor" instead of.....

     

      <_<

    62472[/snapback]

     

     

    You guys have some weird stevestojan up there in Alaska. How in the Blue hell does it watch Survivor? Down here in the lower 48, stevestojan doesn't even have eyes.

     

    P.S. I'm not really expecting stevestojan to save the republic. I'll be happy if I don't get any on my shoe.

  14. You mean you guys don't base your votes on lawn signs? I've always voted for the guy on the last sign I saw on my way to vote.

     

    Hmmmm. Maybe I shouldn't.

     

    I feel free already. I'll have to call up that guy that lives next to the polling place to tell him he no longer decides my vote.

     

    Any suggestions on a new decision making process?
