Tickets, parking, food, other stuff... how much did you drop at the game? Tickets: $400 Beers (before, during, after): $50 Food: $35 Parking: $10 And it was worth every penny to watch bungle fans leave their jungle with their tails between their legs.

If this was a discussion about Major League Baseball (or the NBA) I might agree with you, as it seems that is always a reason given for that lack of pitching in that game. Expansion being the big culprit. I never agreed with that excuse. There are so many feeder pools for the game: US colleges, Dominical Republic, Japan. I find it hard to believe that in all of the world there aren't enough resources to support the baseball talent market. I've always thought that, for many years now, more and more kids just don't care about baseball. For the NBA, that game has way too much youth and inexperience because of early decarations for the draft. So for football what has caused a dilution of talent? There hasn't been expansion. Salary cap? That shouldn't dilute overall talent in the league -- the best are still going to play at the highest level. And there are a LOT of kids trying to make the NFL. I just don't think talent in the NFL has gone down.

It seems there are a lot of sour moods today. People sniping at each other like crazy, getting really personal and generally acting immaturely. It was a bye week, folks. The Bills didn't play. No need to be so angry.

It's too bad an interesting topic got hijacked by this infantile exchange. Keep it to yourselves, fellas and use that PM button. As for the original topic, I too thought this as I watched. I wonder if there are stats to back up that there seem to be both more penalties and fewer interceptions because of the rules. Even if not, it seems games are a little less exciting and a lot more drawn out now.

I read that, as with all the Parker/Stone South Park stuff, the film shows both sides. It points out the brashness of USA, while showing the spirit of America. Freedom is good, we just go about it, um, oddly. It bashes Republicans and Democrats alike, but the article I read (US News & WR) said that the Republicans seem to come out ahead in the end. The movie is supposed to be out in a month. They're still shooting and editing!! They didn't plan on marionettes being so difficult to work with. I'm really looking forward to this one. Oh yeah. There was one controversy in that they wanted to show an explicit sex scene, featuring of course, two marionettes. MPAA doesn't like it, so that'll probably only make the DVD.

Where might one see this design? It seems the search function is temporarily turned off.

Whoa, dude. That's pretty f'd up right there. Good one.

Sorry, bro. Just came off the grammar thread and got carried away. Hope you had your cup on.

If I weren't getting the fugg outta there, I'd make sure I was real close to a Marine. Bless you for the job you do and for the attitude with which you do it.

That's kinda funny. But funnier to me is that it seems you believe that LAUGH is spelled with a P.

Is her name Britney, by chance?

Wait. Who is the Bills first QB?

Sounds like a 'wish-I-could-change-that-subject' post to me. You totally thought that 1) The Bills should be ranked higher, and 2) that people would support you on that. Didn't work that way. Oh, well, it happens

You need to read Gregg Easterbrook's columns on NFL (previously on ESPN until he got his keyboard slapped). He has great names for all teams, and gives a unique view and interesting analysis of the games.

You rock. Thanks, for this and eveything else you do on TBD.

Tried. No luck. Still getting a question mark.

I spent a summer on the Kenai peninsula, and it's unbelieveable. I've been all over the country, and nothing compares to beauty (and scale) of Alaskan scenery. And I loved that the sun sets at midnight and rises at 5am. But Fezmid is right -- stuff is pricey there. And don't forget the mosquitos... Great pics, Fezmid.

Thanks for finishing my setup...

Beautiful. Great quote, too. I didn't see anything wrong with those panties.

Flipping between CNN Frances coverage and ESPN Sportscenter/College Football. Don't drink coffee anymore. After yesterday's post, I drink a cup of warm urine now.

I was trying to post an avatar last night and when I uploaded all I got was a "?" as if the image was the wrong type or color mode. I tried several images and got the same thing. So I'm guessing that with the recent transfer of servers and databases (or whatever happened) that there's some sort of corruption with the db.

If you find your room emptied except for your camera and toothbrushes, beware.
