  1. Wow, you guys are slugging down the Kool-aid!!! Have a drink on me!

     

    Even if the Bills sneak into the playoffs, I can see them losing big time in Indy. They've made tremendous strides, but winning a playoff game in Indy is whole lot different then dismantling a so-so Seahawks team in their house. If somehow they got to play in SD, that might be a different story.

     

    They would be fortunate to win one game in the playoffs. That's it. I see great things happening in the future, but this ain't the year. Even the great teams of the 90's had some heartbreakers lost before their eventual success.

  2. Add when Josh Stamer is intercepting passess, you know things are going well....

    Alex with the quote of the year..."The way things are going today, if they brought #10, I may suit up."

    I love listening to AVP--he's a huge homer, but he's got a great sense of humor. I hope he doesn't take a job with Penn St., he'd be surely missed from the radio booth.

  3. Not bloody likely. You're freakin' dreaming. Willis will be present and accounted for, especially if he's out for any significant period of time towards the end the of year. You can't polish a turd. If he's not up to speed for this week or next week, I'm sure he's waiting for the beginning of the season to show that he's fully healed and realy to go.

  4. He certainly needs to show something against SF, or his trip back to the pine is pretty much assurred, and trading Henry may be off completely. So far, Shaud has looked pretty good in the preseason against scrubs that weren't going to make the team anyway, and a demoralized Cleveland Browns defense. Against the Bengals, I couldn't tell whether it was him being indecisive, or the O-line wasn't getting the job done.

     

    I'd like to get the opinion from somene who knows football enough to say whether or not the Bills were running plays that suit Shaud's style of running. There's quite a difference in size between TH, WM and Shaud.

    Thanks for the help. Great game.

  6. I wasn't born and raised in Buffalo, but I enjoyed reading it.

     

    I thought it should have been called "Me and Big Russ". The book is really more a Tim Russert autobiography than about his father. However, he does give the proper amount of recognition to his father and the jesuits for the values he learned.

    I pretty much agree with this. Although I enjoyed this book, I though this was a sneaky way for Tim to write a biography without sounding too high and mighty. The Buffalo/WNY connection a reader feels with this book is somewhat generational. Being in my late 30's, I missed the point of some of the chapters. However, my mother-in-law, who's in her mid-50's laughed at parts of the book until she cried.

     

    In summary, it's a pretty good book, but definitely more appreciated by those who can relate to a time gone by.

  7. Altho this is pretty close to the cutoff (pre 1987?), I remember Jim Kelly's first home game as a starter against the Jets,1986. There was a sense of anticipation in the stadium that I"ve never felt before or since. I'd have someone else check this, but I seem to remember him running a TD in. The Bills lost, but I think the magic of Kelly overtook the disappointment of the loss.

  8. !@#$ all you scumbags at WalMart, who are slowly selling America to the Chinese one George Foreman grill at a time. This is a company that supports the unionization of Chinese workers at the same time doing everything in their power to make sure that their U.S. retail store employees do not have the same right. In the Company's eyes, the greeter at your local Wal-Mart down the street should have fewer rights in the workplace than the worker that put together your next hair dryer!

     

    The catch is for Wal-Mart is that they only will "recognize" unions that are endorsed by the Chinese government. WM's idea of an effective union leaves you to wonder what sort of "democracy" they really want in the US. !@#$ them!
