I got a flu shot, wash my hands more than Lady Macbeth, use that Purell stuff...didn't matter. I still got that bug a few days ago. I had a wicked case of the Trot Nixons.
If this is what they have, they have to stay hydrated and let the virus run its course.
Heitz -- glad you asked about this. I am going to be in Buffalo for xmas, but the family would rather stay home and listen to the game on the radio. Bah humbug!
Hope to see you all at the game.
It's a blog, not an article. I think the writer is allowed more leeway to give his personal opnions.
The bitching about the WNY weather is predictable and unimaginative.
The Dolphins were damn lucky to get a 50 degree day with showers in December. No snow. No sub-freezing windchill. They couldn't use the weather as an excuse for a poor performance this year.
He doesn't think enough is done to protect the quarterbacks in the NFL:
"Standing back there, we can't defend ourselves. You're standing there holding the ball. It's not like you have time to shed blocks or anything. You're standing there, like a mannequin, so I don't think they're protecting us too much. There are plenty of calls this year where I thought they should have thrown more flags, [when] I was probably pretty [ticked] off to the ref about [a flag] he didn't throw."

A story in the Miami Herald today referred to RW Stadium as "the place where Miami seasons have come to die."

I also second Hammer's Lot. Good location. Near the stadium and the Big Tree tavern. Hammer even has his n' hers porta potties with Purell dispensers. I've parked there twice and didn't get parked in.
Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads.
Fish heads, fish heads; eat them up, yum!
In the morning, laughing happy fishheads,
In the evening, floating in the soup.
Ask a fishhead anything you want to.
They won't answer; they can't talk.
You don't announce publically that you would love a college coaching job while you already have an NFL job unless you are begging to be fired or you know that your firing is a fait accompli.
Also, it's easier to fire the coach than the overrated, highly paid starting QB. Mora's gone.
Thanks for stopping by LI Phil and not hiding behind your keyboard like a sackless troll.
If you're hungry today, I suggest you stop by Quiznos and get the McGahee special.
I've gotten used to the Bills unis, even the fugly white jerseys that look like the Montreal Alouettes.
But the Jets look awful in green pants. When they wear the green on green combo, they look like a bunch of boogers running around on the field.
Gotta love this quote from the NY Times:
"In the third quarter, Pennington lost the ball on a sack by Buffalo defensive end Aaron Schobel, who treated the Jets’ stout rookie left tackle, D’Brickashaw Ferguson, like he was a turnstile all afternoon."

The refs wouldn't have been a factor if the Bills defense didn't give up 17 points in the first half because they couldn't stop LT and were trying to cover Gates with a linebacker up the slot.
However, I lost count in the second half of the number of time this officiating crew huddled before making a call, rather than just call what was clearly in front of them. That left a pretty bad impression along with all the questionable rulings.
Watching McGee return kicks and Parrish punts is still exciting.
Josh Reed played better today than he did before he was injured.
He doesn't get alot of receptions, but Peerless Price always seems to make the big catches.
Lee Evans is an elite receiver.
I love watching Anthony Thomas run agressively and with authority.
And last but not least....
We probably won't have to see Ed Hockaloogie and his merry band of morons officiate a game in Buffalo again this year.
They didn't put up big numbers, but it's nice that Losman has them as an option in the passing game. That play where Losman looked to the side line, but dumped it over the middle to Cieslak had Jacksonville fooled.

"You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."
Thank god this was my rating. I'm glad I don't talk like the chowderheads here in M!@#$chusetts.
