"Hey Flutie....the 80s called and they want their haircut back"

Im failing to see why Im on a "high horse" here. If you dont want to discuss things and see a different POV, dont post. Back to the issue at hand....... Whether or not Takeo Spikes right now is the face of the franchise, in the grand scheme of things, hes not even close to Kelly in terms of stature, both as a Bills player and as an NFL player as a whole. Now...back to your comparison (not metaphor) between what was said. First of all, why would Kelly ever say "we are rebuilding" back then? He wouldnt. So I cant possibly get pissed over something that would never happen. If you want to argue that Kelly would have gotten a free pass over any rant, in general, then youre probably right. But that plays right into my initial point that you have to be careful here. You cant say [paraphrasing] "leave Spikes alone becuase Kelly would get away with it" when as Ive pointed out, Kelly would have gotten away with (and have a right to say) a lot more than most, if not all players given his stature as an all time great Bill and as an NFL superstar, something Spikes is neither.

Be careful.......comparing Spikes (very good free agent player who has been here for a few years) to Kelly (often considered the face of the franchise and basically OWNED Buffalo during his career) is a bit of a stretch. Throw in the fact youre talking about companing different situations..one being a 'rebuilding' situation and the other a historic Super Bowl run. Fan's general attitudes tend to be juuuust a bit different between the two scenarios.

Not crazy about what Spikes said. IMO, players should not vent like this to the media. It does no good and does affect the team's psyche. For example, if youve got a respected senior guy or gal in your office popping off like this while walking the hallways, it affects everyone's morale. Same thing here. But with that said, I can completely understand why he would feel this way and this should be something that like any good rant, should be forgotten by...er.....lunch. Now...if hes going to pop off like this regularly, thats a problem.

Just on 9/11.

I can see those lights, ever so faintly from my front yard tonight.

With the way Peyton choked in the playoffs and Eli whined about where he was drafted, they should be referred to as SISTERS.

OK...I HAD to come out of hiding for this one...yes...I still lurk from time to time. Did Debbie just equate U.S. soldiers to suicide bombers? Debbie...please clarify. Im praying you can do so.

The same Frenchmen who today is whining about this World Cup "incident" and is all "offended" will be on the sidelines of the Tour de France tomorrow calling Americans Leipheimer, Landis and Hincapie such vile things, it will make what Materazzi said look like something that came from the mouths of babes.

There is no bigger con job being fed to the American Public right now than the benefits of "wind power." Read up: http://www.aweo.org/ProblemWithWind.html http://www.savejonesbeach.org/

Saw a "No Blood for Oil" bumper sticker on an SUV this morning.

I swear, if I ever somehow get busted and hauled to court, my defense would be "if they can do it (break the law), so can I". I wonder if that would work.

Bill in NYC and olivier are right on point on this one. How DARE we critiscise the French for "surrendering" when our government and press is doing the exact same thing in regards to the immigration issue, and under much LESS duress than the French Government is?

Hey, it worked for Ronnie. On more than one occasion. !@#$ this problem...Im still trying to figure out why the geniuses at Trek outfit George Hincapie's bike at Paris-Roubaix with a substandard fork which snapped and ruined the big man's season. Thats probably Bush's fault too. No..wait.....HALLIBURTON!

American white, heterosexual, Christian males are the root cause of all evil in the universe and responsible for "everything bad" in the world today. Everyone else is 1,000% innocent and incapable of wrongdoing of any kind. Didnt you get the memo?

"We" commited such atrocities centuries ago. But nice try. BTW...there are religions doing such things right now. But dont want to rank on THEM, though. Ya know...for the sake of "diversity" and all. Gotta keep the "hate" where it belongs...on those terrible white, heterosexual Christian folks!

The balance of power allows the Administration free reign to conduct illegal activity? What about past Administration who had serious funny business going on? How did Bill and Hillary get away with all of their misgivings back in the day? Surely their party didnt hold sway over everything when they were in the WH. As usual...always back to "Bush bad"...the one trick pony. Everything was peechy keen and "done right" until the terrible Bush got in office.

Ah, so it was "only the bad ones" protesting, huh? See....youre part of the problem!

Watching CNN cover the protests last night, it sure was heartwarming watching all the MS-13 and other gang hand signals being flashed to the cameras, pretty much to a man.

For 360 or for 1st Gen Xbox?

Saying "they do it too" is....by nature....NOTING THAT THE PRACTICE IS COMMON. So basically, weve learned today that its not whats said, its how its said. Ya gotta love getting debate/posting instructions from someone who uses "Im right because youre an idiot" as the basis for everything he puts forth, even when he agrees with you.

I dont see that. I dont see anyone called an anti-Semite when they bash the U.S.' relationship with Israel. What I do see is a lot of people, myself included, saying its typical for lots of folks to "blame the Jews" as a fallback.

Funny....some 'idiot' said the same thing a few posts up.

Absolutely. Its what makes Force so awesome. They are as "big money" as you can get, but still run that team and drive that car like they are running a street Camaro at a local Chevy meet out in the sticks.

Hey, SnR....we share a birthday. I knew I liked you for some reason.
