I am taking my 7 year old daughter to her first Bills game tonight. She will be decked out in an old Bruce Smith jersey and Bills hat signed by none other than Ralph Wilson himself! As for the fans in Green Bay, I have gone to one or two games a year for the past 10 years since moving here from Buffalo, always wearing my Bills gear (Jack Kemp throwback tonight) and I have to endure some good natured ribbing, but they're pretty mellow for the most part.

Sorry if this was discussed already and I missed it, but I am going to the game on Sunday and plan on tailgating beforehand, if there is any tailgating to be had at the stadium there. Is there a particular place that the Bills Faithful will be setting up the pre-game party? It would be great to be among the red, white and blue for the pre-game festivities. As I recall, someone said a week or so ago that tailgating sucks in AZ, but I would like to do it anyway. Also, is there a Bills/Buffalo bar in Phoenix that we can go to on Saturday night? Thanks for any help anyone can give.

This is a bit fuzzy, being that it was the early '80s, but a bunch of us were at the Buxton Inn in Hamburg on a Saturday night before a game in which Joe Dufek was going to be the starting QB (look it up, it actually happened). It was like 1:00 in the morning and a couple of us were in the bathroom doing one-hitters when who stumbles in but Joe Dufek himself, all hammered, cigarette dangling from his lips, weaving his way to the urinal. We're like, "Joe Dufek, you've got a game to play in a couple of hours, WTF are you doing here?" He mumbled something incomprehensible and stumbled out of the bathroom. The next day he blew out his knee, as I recall it.

I couldn't agree more. Most people know Empty Glass and maybe Deep End, but Chinese eyes is, in my opinion, the best of his solo works. And have you ever listened to Rough Mix, which is Pete and Ronnie Lane's album from the mid '70s? It features many great musicians, including Eric Clapton, Kenny Jones and others. "Street In the City" is one of Townshend's most magnificent individual songs. If you like Pete and don't have Rough Mix, go get it.

And you are the expert on law enforcement how? Douche bags like you who think they can expostulate on the foibles of society without taking a look in the mirror just kill me beyond words. Before you make a blanket statement like that regarding the behavior of any police force, perhaps you should consider what they do for a living and the commitment they make to protect and serve ignorant a-holes like you. Way too many men whose badges you are not fit to polish have taken bullets and have had their children watch their caskets lowered into the ground in an effort to keep the bad guys from breaking into your house, stealing your stuff, raping your wife and daughter, and creating anarchy in the streets. Your comment, and those of the posters that follow you that are in agreement with your myopic, rednecked drivel, is the epitome of ignorance. Rather than telling everyone who reads this board that all cops are crooked and worth less than the evil that lurks the streets, I'd prefer that you spend some time thanking them for putting their lives on the line every day just so you can feel a sense of security as you live out your pathetic existence. Next time someone violates your personal freedoms through robbery or battery, don't bother calling the police. You don't deserve their assistance, you mental midget. I thought that after 9/11 people began to recognize the heroism of public servants. I can only assume that some people missed the message.

Willis is clearly the best back in the NFL and the most omnipotent human being in history. Proof of this: Superman wears a Willis McGahee T shirt under his uniform. Willis died ten years ago, but the Grim Reaper can't get up the courage to tell him Willis counted to infinity - twice. Willis is not hung like a horse... horses are hung like Willis If you try video taping Willis without his permission you will very quickly be filming the inside of your own ass. A Handicap parking sign does not signify that this spot is for handicapped people. It is actually in fact a warning, that the spot belongs to Willis and that you will be handicapped if you park there. There are no weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. Willis lives in Buffalo. When Willis exercises, the machine gets stronger. When Willis visited the Vatican, he took the Pope's confession. Sega made an arcade game once where you played against Willis. Every time you put a quarter in, the screen immediately displayed "You Lose". Willis has to maintain a concealed weapon license in all 50 states in order to legally wear pants. Wilt Chamberlin claims to of slept with over 20,000 women in his lifetime. Willis calls this "a slow Tuesday." Willis once fell into a pool of toxic waste, and the toxic waste gained super powers. Little kids enjoy lighting ants on fire with magnifying glasses. Willis enjoys lighting little kids on fire with ants. Scientists have yet to find out how this feat is achieved. Willis once punched a man in the soul. When Willis wants a salad, he eats a vegetarian. Willis once killed a bird by throwing it off a cliff.

During his holdout Reggie Bush went to the Virgin Islands. Now they're just called The Islands.

I was at the Uncle Sam's show as well. I had no idea who they were and to tell you the truth, I thought they sucked that night. Then, a couple of years later they're the world's biggest band and I'm walking around going, "wait a minute, those guys suck!" I guess you never know.

If you are going to learn blues, start by picking up greatest hits CDs by Stevie Ray Vaughan, T Bone Walker, BB King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy and maybe even throw in some old Yardbirds. There is also a great album by Paul Rodgers called Muddy Water Blues with many blues legends playing on it that serves as a good intro to the blues. If nothing else, get a copy of the first Blues Brothers album!

Did anyone see the Giants win today? Did anyone think about how Eli Manning was absolutely lost last season when the Giants benched Warner and committed to Eli? He sure seems to know what's going on now -- only because he spent two thirds of a season learning how to play in the NFL. It is time for JP. This Bills team is going nowhere this year. Put in JP and let him learn.
