he has dancing with the stars written all over him. he probably views his lack of football production as a major impediment to his career as a half-assed celebrity.
Not a chance. Dancing wants people who have had 15 minutes of fame beyond just Buffalo.

Might turn out that George Edwards is the suckiest DC ever, but when converted DE Chris Kelsey is all we got to cover tight ends, I don't think we can categorically blame him just yet.
Who decided to covert Chis Kelsay to a LB? Who decided to take a bad 4-3 team and turn it into an abysmal 3-4 team?
No doubt the personnel people suck, but so does George Edwards.
-
Nix's failure to address the either the QB, offensive tackle, defensive line, linebacker and tight end positions this off season should tell you everything you need to know. If that wasn't enough, his extension of Kelsay, a sub par defensive end playing out of position at LB, should really make it crystal clear.

Any coaches would suck with this lack of talent.
The coaches you mentioned still suck though.

1. Ralph - The only constant
2. Modrack - Horrible draft record
3. GMs - Letting talent walk
4. Coaches
5. Players

Horrible Idea. The season is lost. 3-4 is the direction that they are heading long term. Practice it now so we can improve quicker in the long term.
PS. Troupe really needs to come up to speed quickly. His performance worries me. 1st and 2nd round picks are supposed to be contributors!
Just another example of poor coaching decisions, switching to a defense you don't have the personnel to play.

The Onion always falsely quotes people. This is no big deal, and really some of their worst work.

My GUESS is that the ultimate FAs like Shanahan have no interest in coming here because though the owner deserves great credit for keeping the team here he also exercises his "right" in our system to meddle and he does this badly.
As opposed to Dan Snyder?

Last years Redskins looks like this years Bills in the preseason.
Very lackluster and they had trouble scoring.
The difference is the Redskins have a we want to win now attitude where the Bills have a we want to win someday attitude.
Other teams feel that they can totally turn it around in a year. Where the Bills feel that it will take at least 3 years.
This was the first preseason game under a new system for the Bills. Just as the Redskins. The difference is talent, on the field as well as coaching talent. Don't fool yourself the 3 lineman, Poz and Kelsay are not difference makers, they are very mediocre at best. But the Redskins had defensive starters playing into the 3rd ie Riley, Haynesworth.
I expect the Bills to show better but I also think the fact that Chan figures he can get TE to be a big league QB puts the Bills exactly where they were last year this time. The Redskins knew that they had to get rid of Campbell if they wanted to win so they got McNabb and Grossman both looked better than any Bills QB. Both have taken teams to the superbowl.
While the Bills have been complacent on QB talent.
I feel the Bills will eventually field a better team but it doesn't seem like the urgency is there.
The Redskins are in a better position if winning is the goal.
What other goal is there??

I drove down I-81 from Albany to Tennessee in July and the traffic was no problem (July 5) I usually go the way described above to Buffalo but if you are going to the Bills in Rochester you might try 81 straight on up to Syracuse. Where I've run into issues on 81 (traffic and construction) in the past has been in northern Pennsylvania.
I have found 15 to be a faster route than 81.
-
If you take the I-81 route, in Harrisburg take I-81 across the river, get on 22-322 West and then get on US 15 N. That takes you up the east side of the river on a 4 lane highway. Rt 15 in Marysville (west side of the river) is 2 lane, 35 mph and painful. A few weeks ago when I went through there they were doing construction on the I-81 US-15 interchange so I'm not sure you can get onto 15 N anyway with the route you planned.
You might be able to plan where you get fuel by using www.gasbuddy.com.

No character from Friends deserves to be on that list. George Costanza should be on there. From sitcoms I'd put almost any regular character from Cheers ahead of anyone from Friends.
John Locke is way to low on the list. I would have liked to have seen Benjamin Linus and Desmond Hume on there as well.
I didn't much care for Mary Katherine Gallagher from SNL. I don't know if it would qualify but I'd put the Church Lady on there or Stuart Smalley instead.
I'm surprised that not a single character from ER made it.

Might be 15 yr fixed as they are at 4 %with no costs at Cap Center. I looked at those, while I save 7 years of payments, cost go up by about $250/month.
btw, these types of articles got me into looking today, says lowest in 50 years

While your costs go up by $250/month, that money is going back to you in the form of principal. That is money you are paying to yourself. If you can swing the 15 year, that is a far better way to go in my opinion.

My mother was born and raised in Hawaii. She told me that the final scenes were filmed at her school, Sacred Hearts Academy. Pretty cool.

not arguing it was a good idea, but im thinking the boat builder might have some reason to say that she is at fault when the boat broke..... im not sure what that reason could be though... just saying.
The boat was fine and is still afloat. It was the mast that broke. That happens in high winds sometimes. Might not have happened if she planned her trip for a time with more favorable weather, but then she wouldn't have set the record for being the youngest.

And that's the sh---- part as media gets more complicated beyond stone inscriptions. Paper, celluloid, DVDs, the ether that we call the Internet, etc. don't last. Hell, even stone carving doesn't last.
Stone carving lasts. They are just a bit inconvenient.

Anyway, here are a few things that still don't make sense to me:
1) Why did the smoke monster need to change human forms? And was one of his forms Christian Shepherd? And/or anyone else other than MIB and Locke?
Smokey took the form of MIB, Locke, Christian Shepherd, Richard's wife and, I believe, Eko's brother. Sometimes I wonder of some of the dead people Hurley saw were smokey. I also wonder if Kate's horse was smokey.
-
FYI...Eko was invited back, but wanted too much money to return this season.

Why in the world would any actor want to leave that show?
-
But, from a more "behind the scenes" note: the reason Ben's not in the church, and the reason no one is in the church but for Season 1 people is because they wrote the ending to the show after writing the pilot. And never changed it.
Desmond? Libby? Penny?

There is a lot of good stuff on TV these days. Not as good or as compelling/complex as LOST, which was freakish, but a lot of the HBO, Showtime, AMC and network series are excellent shows, stories, characters and storytelling.
Like what? Setting Lost aside, since that was in a category of its own, what excellent shows are there?
Network TV has been to much into cutting costs, leaving us with the likes of Dancing With The Stars, American Idol, Big Brother and a host of other "reality" shows that tell no story at all. NBC put Leno on at 10 in part because his show was cheap to make compared with an ER, Hill Street Blues or Homicide. 24 is coming to an end. Heroes ended up being rudderless and fizzled. Flash Forward was a good concept but didn't catch on. What shows are you talking about?
-
Man, I don't even feel remotely interested in television right now. It's back to being the vapid void it used to be.
What, no love for Dancing With The Stars?

(a) Eloise when asking (very protectively) Desmond if he is here to take her son and he replies "Yes, but not with me....." - that was an amazing interchange that revealed a lot and helped me resolve a lot about the show. Great.
Yeah it came across to me as Desmond was saying screw you after all the BS you've put me through. And while he wasn't taking Daniel it seemed like the reason was because Daniel wasn't ready, not as any kind of a favor to Eloise.

I can't really look forward to that because I believe the Bills will be sold to a group that will move the team to another city.
It is pretty bleak. The Bills have been a demonstrably bad team for most of its existence, the exception being when an unknown named Polian was named to GM and a coach with a mediocre history named Levy was brought in. It just goes to show that even a blind squirrel can find a nut every once in a while. Unfortunately, my best hope is for Modrak to get fired and one of these apparently mediocre choices for GM and coach actually work out some time.
