I'll get it if they fix all the stupid glitches in it from last year.

Well nothing against New Sports Inc, but I think Madden came closer than these clowns.

Okay I'll ask.........Who the heck is New Sports Inc, and why should I care how they rank guys?

The first rule of TBD is you do not talk about TBD.

I just ate half a can of some type of beef soup that I bought at Wegmans. Problem is I don't live in Buffalo anymore and haven't set foot in Wegmans for about 5 years. Should I be concerned?

When exactly did you live in Carolina? 1950? I have lived in central Carolina for the past 5 years, and I have a wicked northern accent. I can safely say none of the above is true. The only thing that is really different if folks LOVE JESUS down here in a big way. Bible belt.

I HOPE you at least got some action when you got home.

JSP did not vote for Kerry because he thought Edwards was "cute".

114 launches and we lost 2. Following are some examples of shuttle-based technologies: 3-D Biotechnology Developed for Space Shuttle medical research, a rotating cell-culture device simulates the microgravity of space. This allows researchers to grow cells in three dimensions. The device may one day help researchers find cures for dangerous infectious diseases and offer alternatives to patients who need organ transplant surgery. Artificial Heart Technology used in Space Shuttle fuel pumps led to the development of a miniaturized ventricular-assist pump by NASA and renowned heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey. The tiny pump, a mere two inches long, one inch in diameter, and weighing less than four ounces, is currently undergoing clinical trials in Europe, where it has been successfully implanted into more than 20 people. Blood Serum Research An astronaut's body, once free of gravity's pull, experiences a redistribution of body fluids that can lead to a decrease in the number of red blood cells and produce a form of space anemia. Monitoring and evaluating blood serum was required to understand these phenomena. However, existing blood-analysis technology required the use of a centrifugation technology that was not practical in space. NASA developed new technologies for the collection and real-time analysis of blood as well as other bodily fluids without the need for centrifugation. Artificial Limbs Responding to a request from the orthopedic-appliance industry, NASA recommended that the foam insulation used to protect the Shuttle's external tank replace the heavy, fragile plaster used to produce master molds for prosthetics. The new material is light, virtually indestructible, and easy to ship and store. Lifesaving Light Special lighting technology developed for plant-growth experiments on Space Shuttle missions is now used to treat brain tumors in children. Doctors at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee use light-emitting diodes in a treatment called photodynamic therapy, a form of chemotherapy, to kill cancerous tumors. Taking Temperatures Infrared sensors developed to remotely measure the temperature of distant stars and planets for the Space Shuttle program led to the development of the hand-held optical sensor thermometer. Placed inside the ear canal, the thermometer provides an accurate reading in two seconds or less. Better Balance Devices built to measure the equilibrium of Space Shuttle astronauts when they return from space are now widely used by major medical centers to diagnose and treat patients suffering head injury, stroke, chronic dizziness and disorders of the central nervous system. Faster Diagnostics NASA technology was used to create a compact laboratory instrument for hospitals and doctor offices. This device quickly analyzes blood, accomplishing in 30 seconds what once took 20 minutes with conventional equipment. Land Mine Removal The same rocket fuel that helps launch the Space Shuttle is now being used to save lives -- by destroying land mines. A flare device, using leftover fuel donated by NASA, is placed next to the uncovered land mine and is ignited from a safe distance using a battery-triggered electric match. The explosive burns away, disabling the mine and rendering it harmless. Tracking Vehicles on Earth Tracking information originally used for Space Shuttle missions now helps track vehicles here on the ground. This commercial spin-off allows vehicles to transmit a signal back to a home base. Many cities today use the software to track and reassign emergency and public works vehicles. The technology also is used by vehicle fleet operations, such as taxis, armored cars and vehicles carrying hazardous cargo. Rescue 911 Rescue squads have a new extrication tool to help remove accident victims from wrecked vehicles. The hand-held device requires no auxiliary power systems or cumbersome hoses and is 70 percent cheaper than previous rescue equipment. The cutter uses a miniature version of the explosive charges that separate devices on the Space Shuttle. Byte Out of Crime Image-processing technology used to analyze Space Shuttle launch videos and to study meteorological images also helps law enforcement agencies improve crime-solving videos. The technology removes defects due to image jitter, image rotation and image zoom in video sequences. The technology also may be useful for medical imaging, scientific applications and home video. Gas Gauges A gas leak-detection system, originally developed to monitor the Shuttle's hydrogen propulsion system, is now being used by the Ford Motor Company in the production of a natural gas-powered car. Product Labeling NASA needs to identify, track, and keep records on each of the thousands of heat-shield tiles on the Space Shuttle. This required a labeling system that could be put on ceramic material and withstand the rigors of space travel to be readable after a flight. NASA developed high data-density, two-dimensional, machine-readable symbol technology used to mark individual tiles. This novel method of labeling products with invisible and virtually indestructible markings can be used on electronic parts, pharmaceuticals and livestock -- in fact on just about anything. Keep Cool Under Fire Materials from the Space Shuttle thermal protection system are used on NASCAR racing cars to protect drivers from the extreme heat generated by the engines. This same material is also used to protect firefighters. Fire Resistant Foam A unique foam developed for Space Shuttle thermal insulation and packing is now being used as thermal and acoustical insulation in aerospace, marine and industrial products. Since it's also fire resistant, it's being used as well for fire barriers, packaging and other applications requiring either high-temperature or very low-temperature insulation in critical environments. For example, use of these foam products by airframe manufacturers such as Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, and Airbus provides major weight savings, while retaining good thermal and acoustical properties in the various products. Fire Sighting A sensitive, gas infrared camera, used by NASA observers to monitor the blazing plumes from the Space Shuttle's solid rocket boosters is also capable of scanning for fires. Firefighters use this hand-held camera to pinpoint the hotspots of wildfires that rage out of control. Jeweler's Gem Jewelers no longer have to worry about inhaling dangerous asbestos fibers from the blocks they use as soldering bases. Space Shuttle heat-shield tiles offer jewelers a safer soldering base with temperature resistance far beyond the 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit generated by the jeweler's torch. Jet Stripping NASA developed a tool that uses powerful jet streams of water to strip paint and primer from the Space Shuttle's solid rocket boosters. A commercial version of this water jet is now used to treat turbine-engine components, airframe components, large aerospace hardware, ships and other mechanical devices, using only pure water. No hazardous chemicals are needed. Quick Fit Fasteners Fastening items in space is a difficult task. A Virginia company developed a fastener that can be pushed on, rather than turned. These quick-connect fasteners are flexible and strong, and have been used by NASA astronauts since 1989. The product is now in use by firefighters and nuclear power-plant repair technicians, and has other commercial applications. Computer Joysticks Computer games can now be played with all the precision and sensitivity needed for a safe and soft Space Shuttle touchdown. A game-controlling joystick for personal computer-based entertainment systems was modeled after controls used in shuttle simulators. Astronauts used the joystick to practice runway landings and orbit maneuvering. Toys for Tots Already successful with its Nerf toy products, Hasbro, Inc. wanted to design a toy glider that a child could fly. Benefiting from NASA wind-tunnel and aerodynamic expertise used in the Space Shuttle program, Hasbro improved the flying distances and loop-to-loop stunts of its toy gliders. Slick Products A lubricant used on the transporter that carries a Space Shuttle to the launch pad has resulted in a commercial penetrating-spray lube, which is used for rust prevention and loosening corroded nuts. It's also a cleaner and lubricant for guns and fishing reels, and can be used to reduce engine friction.

Would it of killed you to spell out St. John Fisher College, so we know what the heck the thread is about?

Interesting that you would have an issue with a Bills related thread. Aren't you the same fella who started a thread on a "Bison pitcher in gay porn video" ?

I like the guy. Seems most folks cry about whoever the announcer is.

I don't get it. You have had two interviews while she was gone which she doesn't know about. If they don't pan out you want to stay in your current position. What exactly is the question or issue? Are you concerned she'll find out about the interviews?

Thanks Blue. That is great. Even though I am a WGR critic, I'll be the first one to say, "You don't know what you've got till its gone." Signed, CCD, Greensboro, NC (Home of zero sports talk stations)

I was married in an expensive and exotic location as well. My wife and I understood the expense factor and chose not to invite anybody. We had the entire ceremony professionally taped and had a reception when we got back to the States. Showed the tape there and everybody had a blast. I fuggin hate people who pull junk like your buddy did.

Thats a dude.

I concur.

That sounds like somebody might have pulled an oldie but a goodie on you. It is a 5 step process. FYI- 1. Get a jar 2. Pee into the jar 3. Seal the jar and let it sit in the sun for about a week 4. Open jar and empty contents along the bottom of your enemy's windshield right into the vents. 5. Smile at the fact that no matter what they do, they will NEVER get the stink out.

Awsome! Now all I need is for Time Warner to pick up the NFL network and I'm all set.

WATCH THE CYBERCAST HERE on friday.

You should go to your boss today and demand a raise for this accomplishment.

Is this a 1 & 2, or 1 or 2 situation?

CNN doesn't have much info yet, neither does FOX. Keep us informed and keep safe!
