  1. The ref made the right call....what gets lost in all of this is they choose the Pats over one of their own. Do you suppose that the ref is furious....i would be. Something that close you side with your own....shameful and shows Kraft’s power. 

  2. If anyone is in need of tickets I have 4, I will sell at face value of $75.00 plus the forwarding fee they charge to send from the season tickets account, which makes the total $310.00. Section 310 row 19. I thought this was going to be a hot ticket and I could make a little extra money......little did I know. Oh well, live and learn and I have retired from the scalping business. Those guys on game day must be a nervous wreck....often wondered how they made any money.

  3. I call B.S. on ralph's little "we have no talent" whine. When ralph feeds the fans the "we dont have talent" bit, it takes the fans minds off the horrendous coaching non-moves made this season. Ralph uses the no talent line as a way to continue to be cheap and not fire jauron.

     

    I also find it funny that ralph whines that we dont have any talent, yet does nothing to improve the guys responsible for bringing in that talent.

     

    You are 100% dead nuts on with this.

  4. Does anyone think there is a difference between the wings at Duff's in Orchard Park and the Duff's on Sheridian (I think that is road, I'm not from Buffalo). I have been to the one on Sheridian maybe seven times and the one at Orchard Park after every Bills home game for 5 years. I am convinced that you get a better tasting wing at the one on Sherdian..........but if given the choice between the two, I'll go to the one in OP because the waitresses are hot.

  5. Actually it can be substantiated with #s and has been. 0 INTs and 1 PD for the past 2 years are numbers that are irrefutable. If you believe those are OK numbers and don't bear mention to the objective fact he sucks in coverage keep convincing yourself, but against a fact there is no argument.

    The question is, as you and I have stated, is the team that much better with or without him? So far I see little to no difference with Wilson and Scott than Scott and Whitner. It stands to reason why the team had Scott defend the TE from San Diego over Whitner with no starting experience before that game except to fill-in for injuries.

     

    Whitner does nothing special, nothing outstanding, and if he's worth saving money cutting he's worth cutting and saving the dough. Let other teams "snatch him up." I would dare say Leonard gives us the same production at a fraction of the cost.

     

     

    The real question to ask is not whether his play is worthy of the #8, but looking into the future is he worth the money that he is going to command in the open market. Could this money be spent more wisely bringing in a pass rusher that will make an average safety (Whitner's replacement) look like a playmaker. The Whitner apologists say that this is the problem why he looks so average........I would rather put the money towards a pass rusher and back fill at safety, then to pay an average unproven Whitner a boatload of cash with hopes he will become the player we think he could be.

    Best movie of all-time, IMO............my favorite part is when he finally gets Lassie upstairs and is putting it to her.......the coach in the gym is dying laughing behind the mat and when comforted he says......gas gas.

     

    I also love it when the stripper asks Pee Wee for 2.00.........and Pee Wee says yeah go ahead and show me both of them.

  7. I was in Vegas over the weekend for the super bowl & I put $200 down on Oklahoma to win the NCAA Tournament. I put money every year(last year I had Texas) & I never win. This year I think I have a good shot. The best thing is I got them at really good odds. Got them going off at 15:1. I originally wanted Uconn or carolina but Carolina was going off at even & Uconn was going off at only 5:1. Pitt & Duke were going off at 8:1.

     

    OU I think has a reasonable chance at winning the NC. They are currently ranked #2, probably have the best player in the country in Blake Griifin & have pretty solid guard play. I really can not see them losing more then 1 or 2 more games the rest of the regular season(although they almost lost to A&M last night). I really think they have the inside track to a number one seed which for all you people that do not follow the tournament means they are pretty much guaranteed at least a spot in the sweet 16. I know these future bets are sucker bets & I have put one down every year for the last 5 years(although this is the largest amount I have betted. Usually I take a higher odd team & put less down like $25/$30) & have never won but I think this year maybe the year that breaks that streak.

     

    I know college bball on this board is not that popular but imho I think these next 2 months are the most fascinating time of the year in sports when teams jockey for seedings, play themselves onto or off the bubble & the conference tournaments where teams get a clean slate & could make one final run to the big dance. I love this time of year in sports.

     

    How does that work? Do you have a ticket that if OU wins, you send it to the casino and they send you a check? Or do you have to go back to Vegas to claim the prize in person?

     

    I really have missed the ability to gamble on sports since they closed down Bet on Sports and the like......I am sure there are still ones functioning, but I got a little bit scared that the US government would get on its high horse and seize the computer and come down hard on the people who were gambling with these companies. It is the biggest bunch of BS....I should be able to do what I want with my hard earned money and if that means being able to place a wager on a sporting event......so what.
