  1. Yeah, I led the charge out of the stadium after Fergy threw a late INT, and as we were in the parking lot, heard the roar and knew I had really f-ed up. My buddy still has to remind me to "never say die". Wish I had hung around for that one, but it taught me to stay till the bloody end. I've been to the Raiders and Chiefs AFC Championship games, the last Super Bowl, the 1980 Dolphins win (goalpost to Ralph), a bunch of OJ's great games, but I would have loved to have been at the Comeback game and the 1964 AFL Championship....comeback game wins in a close one! I watched the Comeback game from home, and my family was visiting from Buffalo - they left disgusted at halftime. I kept watching, but they didn't realize what had happened until they got home! Never say die! The Raiders AFC Championship game was very special....after all those depressing seasons in the 60s, 70s and 80s - I finally got to see them in person make it to the Super Bowl. I had tears in my eyes looking up in the sky wishing my Dad was there with me (and I think he was!).
  2. you mean like 98.6 degrees hot?
  3. Given that she has a d*** to suck, I'm gonna say no.
  4. Fer cryin' out loud! You guys just don't get it, do ya? Let me make this simple for ya...... Click the damn link, note the author's photo at the bottom and answer the damn question........ Would Ya? There! Was that so hard?
  5. That article reads a little like the author held a barroom "Wouldn't that be awesome!!" discussion, and Byron happened to be nearby, slammed his Genny Cream Ale, and said "It sure would!" before walking out the door. Voila! Headlines!
  6. They are going to need a full-time squeegee guy for the pressbox window with all the spitting and sputtering he'll be doing!
  7. I said the same thing about a dancer at the Sundowner last time I was there.......
  8. ahhhh yes, Sauvignon Blac '98...a wonderful year, especially when served at 98 degrees

  10. That might be a cynical look at things, but it also makes some sense!
  11. To a large extent, I think Ralph has been his own worst enemy, and I think it has less to do with finances as it does his ability to get along with highly motivated, succcessful and aggressive football people. Looking back at the Bills' history, Ralph has had problems with Lou Saban (twice), Chuck Knox, Bill Polian, John Butler....most of the people that have been successful for the Bills have left over disputes with Ralph (or so it seems from my recollection of the events leading to their dismissal or quitting). Ralph has made some horrible decisions (appointing Harvey Johnson interim coach TWICE, hiring Brandon to be GM, Stew Barber to be GM, etc). Ralph also has had some bad luck in hiring guys that on paper looked to be pretty smart hires (John Rauch, Donohoe, even Gregg Williams). Whether he is too meddlesome, or reluctant to hand over authority to the professionals he hired, Ralph seems to have caused more problems via his management style than via his wallet. That being said, he HAS kept the team here for 50 years and he HAS hit the jackpot with hires that others ridiculed - Levy, Nix, Chan (ok, maybe its too early to say he hit the jackpot on the latter two!). I'm just glad all of my professional decisions and financial actions aren't out there for everyone to see and criticize Whether Ralph has a succession plan in place or not will have little to no bearing on my enjoyment of this coming season. I am glad he felt compelled to spend a bunch of money on solid acquisitions that should really help this team succeed this year.
  12. ....but it looks like he had a Cesarean section. it ain't pretty.....
  13. Congratulations! To see your work come to fruition must be exciting! Tell you what- I'll get a bunch of guys and we'll come down from Syracuse in Tebow and Sanchez jerseys and raise hell against each other! Wait - am I in the wrong thread again?
  14. To quote Lou Saban: "GOD ALMIGHTY....WHAT ARE WE DOING???? WHY DO WE DO THAT???"
  15. I'm in Syracuse and can definitely make this happen!! Of course, I'll need some help purchasing the jerseys....soooo..Paypal me the money for say, 8 jerseys? And we'll need the $300 ones - gotta make it look authentic!
  16. Surprisingly, I'm looking hard at Indy this year...... see what I did there?
  17. My daughter lives on 4th St NE and her rent for a townhouse is in your budget. She formerly lived in an apartment in Columbia Heights (right above a Metro station); lots of places to rent there and it's a great location if you'll only be there a couple years. I think you'll love DC! Just ask DC Tom.
  18. Game Day Sales Associate: "Inviting stadium guests to visit your location in a helpful, friendly manner" Sounds like a great opportunity to make some cash on the side..... "Authentic jerseys are too pricy,huh? Hmmm....I happen to have some other "Made in China" stock in the truck of my car - see me after the game!"
  19. This topic is already being discussed in another thread; please use the search function. My turn to be a moderator

Grooveshark NPR.org - great live concerts NPR
  21. Darn those guys taking money from the rich.... "On Thursday, federal authorities said the Salt Lake investigation is part of Project Copycat, a national ICE-led crackdown targeting websites selling a wide array of counterfeit goods, such as baby carriers, language and fitness DVD sets, clothing and jewelry."
  22. Ha! I went to high school with this guy! Don't remember him being a Bills fan, but apparently he was "scarred".....as many of us late 60s/early 70s Bills fans were!
  23. This is my "go to" website for photos of hot teachers arrested for doing it with teenage boys. Not sure where else I could find such important content so readily! I do notice you guys also talk about football here a bit too. That's cool, I guess.
  24. you're on the cusp of old then.......
