We don't need any more of them there Tennessee boys - that last one we took didn't quite work out....

I've had the Blue Point Hoptical - it's good but I still prefer the Brooklyn IPA. As a matter of fact, you really can't go wrong with any of the Brooklyn Brewing line. They're my favorite small brewer these days. One of my favorite brews (name and flavor) is Rogue's Dead Guy Ale. Always have to have a few of those when we're tailgating at the Ralph.

A cheaper option would be the Steelers' Charlie Batch. It's JP's team. The Bills don't need to overspend on has been talent. Keep Shane Matthews as the back up and they'd be better off spending the money on Pat Williams and upgrading the O-line.

Jerome Bettis as a Bill...that would be sweet. Perfect veteran backup to Willis. I believe he is done in PA. Let's hope this is an ex-steeler that comes over to our side.

"Secure her , we don't want to have any accidents." "I think I just had one - excuse me." Great stuff

Agreed 100%. It was impressive to see a guy who was told not to play by his doctor go out and have a great game. Kudos to T.O., shame he ended up on the short end....

forget about the fantastic four - click on the photo gallery link for her and check out the promo shots for Into The Blue.

This is a BUFFALO BILLS board, right??? We can't take away anything away from the Pats accomplishments but we can express how we feel about a team that we really don't like. And who do we look bad to, Patriot fans??? One of the biggest reasons I hate the Patriots is because Patriot fans are loud mouth, pompous, ignorant tools. (actually, it's the fans and Rodney Harrison - I really hate that guy...) Go Bills in '05 !!!!

Herman Edwards came down to help his old team out with clock management

Right on! When that great day happens, I will be celebrating all night and then jetting up to Buffalo for the victory parade. TBD forum reading and posts would be sometime late Tuesday at the earliest! A Pats fan hitting a Bills forum site minutes after a super bowl victory is just a Ma**hole.

As much as I hate the Pats, it had to have been great for Belicheck to have his Dad next to him on the fireld at the end of the game. Pops didn't look too happy when he got hit with the Gatorade shower though

As usual, I'm pissed off at the end result of the Super Bowl. As a Bills fan that seems to be my lot in life. On the upside, a friend of mine that I invited over to watch the game brought me a Monte Christo cigar fom Cuba. That had to be the greatest smoke I ever had.

I thought it was just me screaming at the television!!!! That time management at the end of the game was killing me. Ok to huddle up if you're eating up huge chunks of yardage but they're dinking and dunking for 3 -5 yards at a time. I thought Donovan was past that level. Reid too for that matter. I stick to my previous assesment: Patriots - a very good, opportunistic team, not a dynasty level team like the 49ers, Cowboys, Packers or Steelers. SB36 - Mike Martz factor, nuff said. SB 38 - John Kasey kicks the ball out of bounds after the Panthers last td - may as well give the game to the Pats. SB39 - terrible clock management and some horribly thrown passes by Donovan keeps the Eagles from winning a winnable game.

T.O. played big. As somewone who is generally tired of his antics, I have to say I was impressed with what he did tonight. John Abraham should've watched this and understood that this is what a team leader does in the playoffs.

1. D line pressure. Get Tommy Boy's uniform dirty. The Freak needs to have a big game with backing from the defensive tackles. 2. The second one's even more obvious: the Eagles can not turn the ball over. Ever. They must force a turnover or two and take care of their end of the business. 3. If all else fails cheap shot Brady and knock him out of the game Go Iggles!!!!!

Thanks for the info.

I thought the W stood for Wanker...

Finally decided to take the plunge for a digital camera. Not looking for anything fancy. A friend recommended the Kodak EasyShare 7330. 3.1 megapixels, video capture and a cost of about $150. Seems like a good fit. Anybody have any feedback on this camera? Does anybody have any other recommendations in this price range? Thanks.

Can't argue with most of the top 12 but where's Thurman???? Where's eight consecutive 1,000 yard seasons? Where's four seasons straight leading the nfl in combined yards from scrimmage? Where's one of the best pass catching receivers AND one of the best at picking up blitzers on this list? Thurman was Marshall Faulk before Marshall joined the greatest show on turf. The Thurmanator does not get the props he deserves. He was the real mvp of SB25. Had the Bills pulled that one out there is no doubt that his name would be on lists like this. Instead, most football fans outside of Buffalo remember him more for the missing helmet episode in SB26.

That was after SB28. As much as I hate the Cowboys, I never had a problem with Emmit. As a matter of fact, watching him rush for over 200 yards against the Giants in '93 when he played most of the second half and OT with a separated shoulder was one of the more impressive individual efforts I ever saw.

Hey, there's no denying that the Bills stunk up those super bowls against Dallas. But Bowl Winner is right about the nfl films highlights of sb27. Jimmy Johnson is an arrogant prick and to have to listen to him pontificate about his team makes me sick to my stomach. The only enjoyable part is to hear him try to defend dumb a** Leon Lett after Beebe stripped the ball from him on the one yard line (the only play of worth from that game for my money). I watched a lot of the NFL films SB highlights last Sunday on the nfl network and didn't see one other where the coach blathered on through the whole thing. Even when they miked Hank Stram during SB 4 they only used clips and he wasn't half the a** Johnson is. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Jimmy Johnson.

Shaun Powell is a good writer for Newsday on Long Island. Thought you might like to see his perspective on the Patriots: http://www.newsday.com/sports/columnists/n...orts-columnists I did the cut and paste thing in case the link doesn't work. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- First comes the Super Bowl, and then, should the Patriots win, our attention will turn to the Super Roll. That would appropriately describe the run of championships by a team that blows our way more often this time of year than the wind chill. There will be an instantaneous and collective gush by an awestruck football nation to appoint the Patriots as the sports dynasty of the moment. The problem is, upon closer inspection of this so-called dynasty, you will rediscover that it is built on luck. Better yet, tuck. Before Tom Brady became a star and Bill Belichick a genius and the Patriots were breathlessly mentioned in legendary terms, this Super Bowl streak began on a bad call. Yes, three years and countless replays later, the truth remains the truth. Upon further review, Brady fumbled the ball on a snowy field and the Patriots were done, only to be suddenly saved by a rule that sounds sillier than Eagles loudmouth receiver Freddie Mitchell. Tuck rule? You must be kidding. That was Charles Woodson's response when asked to reflect about the play in the divisional playoffs three years ago that gave birth to Patriotism. With the Raiders up three late in the fourth quarter, the cornerback blitzed Brady and jarred the ball loose in snowy Foxboro. The Raiders recovered with 1:43 left and their bench celebrated. "The game was over," Woodson said. Walt Coleman thought otherwise. The referee first signaled Raiders ball, then - after much discussion - he overruled his original call and called it an incomplete pass. Even now, you must wonder what Coleman was thinking. There was no conclusive proof to reverse the call. The only thing obvious was that Brady didn't bring the ball to his body after deciding not to throw. He gave it up after getting clobbered. End of story. Actually, beginning of story. A very fortunate story. Because of that call and a few other blessed moments that followed, please don't classify the Patriots next to the Celtics of the 1960s and the Jordan Bulls and Lance Armstrong and the Yankees from 1998-2000. You want to salute Belichick for knowing something about football? Fine. You want to give Brady props for being clutch? Prop on. You want to hail the Patriots as an example of what happens when egos are sacrificed and team play is emphasized? Yep. You want to point to the bottom line and say that's all that matters? Cool. But to elevate the Patriots among the sacred sports gods who dominated, without the slightest bit of suspicion? Settle down. Resist. And rethink. Only this season, when they won 12 of their first 13 games, did the Patriots show considerable flex during their Super Bowl stretch, and they still didn't finish with the best record in football in 2004. As Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb said: "This team is not invincible. This team can be beat. If we go out and do what we're supposed to do, we can win this game." You might be surprised by what you find after chipping away at the New England mystique. The Belichick Patriots are proof that it's better to be lucky than good. They opened their first Super Bowl season with a loss to the pitiful Bengals. Strange, but despite all the glory Belichick gets for being a defensive expert, the Patriots ranked 24th in total defense that year. They were outplayed on their own field by the Raiders in the playoff game until their rally was, ahem, tucked away. The next week, they needed a pair of special-teams touchdowns to beat Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship Game. Which brings us to the Super Bowl. The Patriots were aggressive and determined in the 2002 game, and yet their victory was hardly artistic. Mike Martz, the dunce who somehow still coaches the Rams, had more to do with the Patriots' win than Belichick. Rather than run Marshall Faulk, who was pumped to play in New Orleans, his hometown, Martz had Kurt Warner throw 44 times. Didn't he read the scouting reports? That year, the Patriots were nothing special against the run, allowing 4.3 yards a carry. Also, in both Super Bowl wins, the Patriots coughed away big leads and found themselves tied in the final moments. They were up 17-3 on the Rams and 21-10 on the Panthers. Lucky for them, and there's that L-word again, Adam Vinatieri, the biggest beneficiary of the tuck rule, came through once again. His first pressure kick, after Brady's "fumble," tied the Raiders game, and he won it with another in overtime. He beat the Rams with a 48-yarder as time expired and then defeated the Panthers with four seconds left. And what do the Patriots think about the roots of this championship run, which began with a tremendous stroke of tuck? "Hey," said Brady, shrugging and smiling, "I got a ring out of it." They don't make dynasties like they used to.

He'd make a good member of the Log Cabin Republicans....not that there's anything wrong with that!

When Andre "bumped" the ref, the Bills had to go for the field goal. They recovered the onside kick and Flutie was sacked on the subsequent series. This occured the same season as the "just give it to them" non-reception + end zone Hail Mary pass interference game against the Bills in New England. If I ever felt there was an x-files type conspiracy against the Bills, that was the year. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: zebras BTW, my vote goes to Andre. Eric has never been ever to go over the middle like Andre did - he was fearless.

Gotta second "Live at San Quentin". In these days of lip syncing and choreography it's good to listen to a real live concert. Johnny was the man. You really can't go wrong with any of the releases Buftex mentions.
