I don't think I ever paid much attention to NFL socks, but why not put a couple red stripes in those ones?

I wish they'd just go with the throwbacks fulltime, but I get that there's no money in that. As long as the royal blue makes its return, I'll be happy.

The problem there is that the truly iconic villain of each series needs to show up eventually. So are you suggesting they bring in someone else and then go with Luthor for the second one? The proble with Superman always ends up being that there is really no even match, unless they start bringing some random alien to the table. It doesn't match completely with your suggestion, but I think a decent option might be to start out with General Zod. Yeah, it's been done before, but I don't think most will think of him right away.

I agree with this 100%. I used to go for the challenge of eating the hottest stuff out there, but it's just not worth it anymore. Give me that balance of spice and flavor and I'm happy. I will never understand watching shows like Man vs. Food where you see the challenges that require the person to wear rubber gloves. If the stuff is so hot that it can burn your hands, why in the hell would you ingest it? Ok, maybe if you want to go on some spiritual journey where a talking space coyote tells you to find your soulmate, but that's it.

I've loved reading the recaps of the testimony. There's a Law & Order episode in there.

It's tough settling on a brand, but I'll go with a lot of people in here who mentioned kettle cooked salt and vinegar chips. I noticed a new kind I haven't seen before a couple days back, so I'm going to grab those with my lunch later today.

I'm surprised there was nothing for the Green Lantern.

I had a few beers, so I wasn't paying too much attention, but I really liked the House Mean Joe Greene commercial.

Hmmm, I'm going to be right across the street from a chipotle later today right around the time I'll be considering my dinner options.

I feel like Liam Neeson could make just about any movie good.

Not to mention the fact that many of these sites wind up putting their own ads somewhere on the page while you're watching a game. So they're making money off of something that doesn't belong to them.

It says he was arrested at the Bellagio, so I'm guessing he tried to cash a few in. Still, I hope we get to hear more details of how that arrest actually played out.

Everyone has a breaking point. If he does wind up taking loses, what will be the limit to what he is willing to deal with? Everyone wants to paint this giant rosy picture right now, and I don't blame them, but I want to see how things look 5-10 years down the road. Only time will tell, I guess.

I've always joined in on the mocking of other areas after these storms, but I'm really starting to see why it's such an issue this year. Here in Boston they have absolutely no place to put all of it. I'm still expecting to be t-boned by some idiot driver every time I have to pull blindly out into an intersection. I'm sure some of it is in fact the people and the city not knowing how to deal with the conditions, but even I'm annoyed by it now.

It seems like every story mentions how he's been keeping quiet about this whole thing right from the start. It really makes you wonder about whether or not that conversation ever really happened.

That commercial always seems ridiculously stupid to me. The same guys that are trying to push boost mobile are also complete idiots. Great way of pushing your product.

Were there ever actually any direct quotes or just a paraphrasing of a conversation that was reported to have happened? I don't remember ever actually seeing anything.

I'm always confused when people say that Pegula reminds them of so and so. He hasn't said a single word publicly about this team yet, how can we be drawing these conclusions? Maybe he will end up being that type of owner, but we know nothing yet. People are only seeing what they want to see. People were absolutely glowing over Golisano when he took over too. Granted, the team was coming out of bankruptcy and any purchase was going to be welcomed with open arms, but the opinion on him sure as hell has changed, hasn't it?

I've always wanted to receive a dead puppy as a gift.

Not to mention that the only reason they even had Zubrus in the first place was because they traded Biron.

I can think of one scenario where it would be good for Bills fans. If they wind up losing a season, the league is going to have to have some sort of weighted lottery to determine the draft order in 2012. If it's structured anywhere similar to the way the NHL structured theirs, the Bills are going to have a very good shot at landing that 1st overall pick.

This whole thing makes absolutely no sense to me. Sooner or later we'll reach the point where no kind of discipline is allowed at all.

It just started to snow decently out here in Boston as I started my drive to work. This place is a ghost town because of it, but it's not too bad out there at all. I hope I get the day off tomorrow though. I'd like to have some beer and help people dig their cars out. Sounds like a blast.

I know they have the rule about not owning teams in two different markets, but is there anything that would prevent Jeremy Jacobs from being a minority owner of the Bills? If Pegula buddies up with the NHL owners pretty quickly, a pairing of Pegula (majority owner) and Jacobs would make a ton of sense for the Bills.

I bought a car at just the right time. I'm sick of having to inch my way out into intersections in fear of the random old guy who decides to run a red light. I've seen that happen at least 3 times so far.
