Spiderweb

It wasn't all that nice either......

Being of suspicious nature, I checked the "www.NFL.com" page and it's there..... As in everything the NFL does, the prices is subject to year after year increases if this becomes a heavy seller. Yet, for now it seems like a great deal and I registered, but not yet paid. I will be as soon as I get my wallet and pull out an old dusty credit card. If this performs satisfactorily, it may be time to say goodbye to DTV all together. My wife and family will be thrilled not to have me glued to the TV every Sunday afternoon and evening watch football. Woo hoo!!!

Yes. The NFL Sunday Ticket is DirecTV's crown jewel. I however prefer DishNetwork, primarily for their far more flexible offerings of equipment (such as dual tuner units that can be independently fed to different TV displays). It's like two boxes for the cost of one (One output is HD, the second SD but I still have numerous SD TV's to this work fabulously). DirecTV can record one channel and display another, but cannot send different channels to two different TV's). If DTV would offer this, I'd leave DishNetwork but alas, DTV even killed off independents from making and selling receivers for DTV. In the past, I loved some of the old Hughes boxes, which were far superior to the DTV offerings. Yet I still hedge my bets as I'm a grandfathered NFL Sunday Ticket/Superfan only subscriber as well (DTV).

Time for the Bills to cut bait with Shouman,....

Bannan? He's done quite a solid job for the Ravens......He's kinda like John Parella who left the Bills unceremoniously and had a very solid career with San Diego.

Agreed! I had become sold on Ayers before the draft and was hoping he'd be there. He was, the Bills sadly went in another direction.

Nancy Pelosi? Even moderate to liberal Democrats dislike that wonderful piece of work.

Yes, it is........

Celebrating is when a big play matters, one that makes a difference. generally, they would occur late in the 4th quarter, I liked Thurman Thomas. Yeah, he could spike the ball from time to time, but how many times did he simply flip the ball to the ref after scoring? A ton. Frankly, while obviously admiring the talent and play of Bruce Smith for years, I always hated his sack strut, dance or baseball swing, unless it was again late in the game and a difference maker. Nothing worse than a tool going nuts when his team is getting hammered, yet it happens all the time. Something has been lost as the generations roll by. It's called "class".

....still there's no denying that he appeared under sized and was driven backwards multiple times. First action or not, that type of play won't cut it. Weapons, yeah, but the o-line needs major improvement before the bell rings, or all the weapons in the world won't help, espcially Viagra or Levitre, or whatever......

Al Davis has spent a ton of money on less than star talent the past few years and doesn't see to be letting up. Always a puke, he's obviously become a senile old puke.

why?

Slowly???

Reed is a very solid #3, very solid. You don't personally like him, fine, but he's a very solid player and was in all likelihood, our best 3rd down WR for the past couple years. He's absence during his injury last year was very telling. He was sorely missed.

That was a nice clip, but I'll always remember Bruce's hit on Esiason (Jets).......That was "Lights Out", for Boomer that is.

Me neither, I was at that game.....The Bills were down to about Tampa's 18-19 yard line, and ran Leaks into the middle to setup a field goal attempt to win the game. Then the cretin.....FUMBLED !!!! Guy behind me started laughing and razzing me........we ended up throwing a few shot at each other until a friend I went to the game with got between us and broke it up. Ah, the days of my youth.

Yeah right. That's quite a dream there, devoid of reality and wrong. Of course he wants more money. Top CB's (contract wise anyway) are knocking down quite a bit more than he is. Also, you can bet he's after some hefty guaranteed coin as well and depending how much he can get up front, it will obviously play into what he'd take for his annual salary. For a 32 year old CB, the Vikings would be less than sharp if they gave him huge guarantees in a new deal, especially since he's already under contract for the coming season. Sorry Winni, tough it out on your 6 mil and shut up.

I'll add the theory that McNair had let the mistress know that he was done and wasn't leaving his wife and children for her. She had seen it coming, bought a gun, and was ready the moment McNair told it was over, or when he refused to reconsider their continuing their relationship. Just my theory.

What Namath had on all the other QB's when he entered the NFL was the media and his own flamboyance. One cannot speculate what he would or could have done had he had healthy knees. All there is to go on is what he did during his career. Before the injuries to his knees, he as quite an athlete, but how that would play out in the NFL is only known by the gods. With that said, Joe Willie Namath had the sweetest, quickest release I have ever seen. He seemed he could merely flick his wrist and throw one 60 yards. Was that enough for the HOF, no. Yet he did add luster to the AFL and was a principal in it's success as noted above. Joe's contributions simply can't be measured purely by his stats alone. As for Tarkenton, I always disliked that noodle armed champion of the dink pass. His was a career of dinking and dunking and longevity. By the way, I'm old enough to recall Namath and Tarkenton in their prime.

Although it's common knowledge that every player you backed, or had hopes for, are all in the HOF or will be soon, you need to let it with respect to JP. Let dead dogs lie.

Maybe you should google Jeff Garcia's wife.......

Hummm, I had a "girl" from Cheektowaga once, and.....well....it was a disaster. However, the REAL joke of a president, Mr All-Time, Hall of Famer "joke' himself, now has a new residence in Dallas. He will never be topped.

While this is no way condoning drinking and driving, it does not take a genius to realize that it was entirely possible that the "victim" could have been the "cause". Donte, who I'm no fan of, may simply had been driving in an area at the wrong time. It's very possible that nothing he could have done would have avoided the tragic event. Sure he shouldn't have been driving, but this isn't as simple as "drinking - guilty" although for many it very well may be. Further, Donte didn't flee the scene, he cooperated with the police, and showed quite more character than a local beloved "beast" who has shown much less. Drunks are a serious problem, but cell phone use has actually been shown in recent studies to be even more so. But hey, a few drinks, he must be at fault.

I'll also agree in that Ted Washington could almost single handedly shut down an opponents run game. It didn't hurt that he had Bruce Smith on one side and Phil Hansen (very under-rated in my book) on the other in the 3-4 played by the Bills at the time. I still recall a Sunday night battle with Tennessee (to open the 2000 season) in which the Bills won 16-13, with Ted Washington and Pat Williams proving to be unmovable objects. The game was memorable as these were the same Titans bastages that won the previous year's playoff game against the Bills with the Homerun Run Throw-up cheat. I recall this game as being the hardest hitting opener I've seen in the multiple decades of Bills openers (and games) that I've seen.

...........and that my friends best explains how we became a Wal-Mart nation.
