  1. What piss's me off is that everybody wanted kh with 2 games at home. Losman could have won those games , at worst a split. He was undermined by loud mouth Moulds who did nothing today!

    I say let the vets get their assed kicked next week and I don't care if the score is 50-0 make the vets take up the ass on national tv.....Start JP at home against KC..........

    Not just 2 games at home. 2 very winnable games at home. It wasn't like KH was put in against NE and Denver or Carolina. He was put in against Miami and NJ.

  2. I would prefer they wait until after NE to send JP back in. Give him the bye week and an opponent that he'll have a better chance against. Granted, it was not a fair evaluation for JP last time out in NE, as he thought he was the #3 quarterback last year; but I don't want to see him get beat badly and have that stadium turn into a house of horrors for him.

     

    Let Kelly see if he can pull a rabbit out of his butt, and if not, go w/ JP against KC.

  3. "We couldn't do diddley-poo offensively or defensively. We couldn't make a first down. We didn't run the ball. We didn't try to run the ball. We couldn't complete a pass. We sucked. We sucked. It was a horsesass performance in the second half. Horsesass. I'm totally embarrassed, and I'm totally ashamed. We got our ass kicked in the second half. It sucked. It stunk. Cuz they just blocked better, were more tougher, more physical, coached better, did everything better. We sucked."

    Stop sugar coating it. It wasn't that good. :angry::doh:

  4. Will all due respect Bib, please step down from your high horse.  Whether you like it or not, you are a victim.  Which means you are morally, if not legally, obligated to go after the gun company.  Please step back in line.  Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.  :doh:

     

    P.S. Since you are now a victim extraordinaire, you should really consider going after tobacco companies as well.

    Should probably sue McDonald's as well, as you know the crackhead shooter would eventually eat a meal there.

  5. I'm not sure of the level or sarcasm in that post or even which way it goes.  But after living in a few places outside of WNY, especially in Orange county in SoCal, WNY is a horrible place to live.  But a wonderful place to visit.   :doh:

    482505[/snapback]

    Sarcasm level was very high. I do think WNY is a good place to live. Taxes are too high and political leadership is nonexistant, but other than that; I like it. To each his own.

  6. Yeah, yeah, I know, it's the NYT so it must be complete garbage. Looks like Rove and Libby could be indicted for lying to the grand jury. That's what it looks like to me, from this and numerous articles I've read in the last few weeks.

    IF they lied under oath, they should be in jail. Just like the former felon in chief should have been. It's called perjury and should be taken seriously by anyone in the executive branch of the government.

     

    If they did not lie under oath, it does not appear to me, based upon what I have been able to read on the subject, that they broke any laws. I'm certain that Mr. Fitzgerald's investigation will close soon. Once it does, we will find out what appears to have really happened.

  7. I dont know if i would say mcgee was "developing" when AW left. That season was mcgee's rook year, and the nickel back was kevin thomas. Hence i see eric king as being in the same role mcgee was in that season. If we do let nate go, i think we'll still need to grab a decent corner, not bargain basement. That being said, i am pumped that McGee is close to re-signing/has beed re-signed.

     

    Now, to get a McGee jersey (ask my bills backers club, i am the resident mcgee apologist) Go T-Mac!

    482109[/snapback]

    Speaking of Thomas, any word on how his rehab is going? If he were to be able to return close to his old form, it would take SOME of the pressure off on resigning Nate.

     

    Also, I agree that it is great news, if in fact it's true, that the Bills are close to extending McGee's deal.

  8. Haven't a lot of bands bypassed Buffalo instead going to bigger cities?  I have noticed on a number of concert t-shirts that Buffalo doesn't seem to be included.

    482090[/snapback]

    I'm sure there are some that bypass it, but I wouldn't base the list off of the concert t's; a lot of bands put portions of their tours on the shirts. If you are seeing the bands outside of the northeast, you very likely won't see Buffalo listed on the backs of the shirts.

  9. I'm afraid Roscoe speaketh the truth. Always hurts a little more than sugar coating it. I hate the Dolphins, but if I had to choose a place to be, obviously Miami wins hands down. Most people would agree with that I think. Buffalo is very boring. You can do anything in South FLA, except skiing I guess. :rolleyes:

    481744[/snapback]

    Except for the fact that the beaches are warmer and probably have better scenery than those in Buffalo, I don't think that Miami wins hands down.

     

    Miami seems to get credit for good weather, but for about 6 months out of the year, it is way too hot (IMHO) to be outside unless you are at the beach. I am sure that I am in the minority nationally, but I much prefer WNY's weather to that of SFla.

     

    I'm sure there are alot of things to do in Miami, but there are a lot of things to do in WNY as well. There are sports leagues you can join year round; there's good museums; there's Letchworth and the Falls; there's skiing in the winter; you can go sailing; can't forget the Bills; lots of good music comes to the area; there's pretty much a festival going on every weekend somewhere during the summer. I've never fully understood the "there's nothing to do in Buffalo" gripe or the "Buffalo is very boring" gripe that I hear a lot.

  10. Yep. I chuckle when these ideas about flat tax comes up.

     

    Such would take away Congress's ability to favor this one and punish that one.

     

    If it happened, no one would even send them a Christmas card. No way they would give up that power.

    Ding, ding, ding.

     

    We have a winner!!!!! (Or since you aren't in Congress either, a loser like the rest of us.)

  11. IMO, Horton would still be up there, even if he hadn't had the accident.  He was one of the best D-men of his era and was a rock for the Sabres, even playing in his twilight years.  He mentored Jim Schoenfeld and was the leader of a defense that improved rapidly over the team's first three years.

     

    Here's some interesting background on why Horton was so admired:

     

    Tim Horton was born in Cochrane, Ontario on January 12, 1930. He was signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1949 and performed as one of the steadiest defencemen on the blueline throughout his 22 years in the National Hockey League. He played in 1,446 regular season games, scoring 115 goals and 403 assists for a total of 518 points.

     

    He played 17 full seasons and 3 partial seasons for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He served a short stint with the New York Rangers before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins. His final years in hockey were with the Buffalo Sabres, where he played a major role in developing the team’s younger players.

     

    Tim Horton played on four Stanley Cup teams, was an All-Star player six times, and was honoured in 1969 with the J.P. Bickell Memorial Cup in recognition of his outstanding service to the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club. George Armstrong says of Tim, “No finer person, teammate or hockey player ever lived.” In Bobby Hull’s words, “Few players brought more dedication or honour to the game. He was my idea of a pro.”

     

    One of the most heartfelt tributes came from Punch Imlach, then of the Buffalo Sabres. Tim played for Imlach in Toronto during the glory years of the 1960's, and when Buffalo had a chance to pick him up, Imlach didn’t hesitate. “I know he was the backbone of our team in Buffalo”, said Imlach. “(His death) was a terrible loss, not only to his family and the team, but to the game of hockey.”

     

    Gordie Howe has called Tim Horton hockey’s strongest man. In a fight, Horton was known to edge into the melee and “grab a couple” of players to help keep the peace. But despite his legendary strength, he was not a proponent of violence on the ice. Some claim Tim invented the slap shot, and he could always be counted on to get the puck out of his own end of the ice with his “heads up” skating style.

    I disagree. If Tim doesn't have the accident, he ends up in Sabres lore with Roger Crozier. A truly fantastic player that finished his career with the Sabres. Horton absolutely was a mentor to players like Schoenfeld and Robitaille. You don't end up having your sweater retired because you were a mentor.

     

    With what he meant to the team and considering the way he left the team, he deserves to have his sweater retired and it is up in the rafters.

  12. Have you considered that the current marginal tax rate on these top 25% of earners is zero?  Lifting the ceiling only makes their marginal tax rate the same as the marginal tax rate for the bottom 25% of earners.

     

    Did raising the ceiling on Medicare tax lead to the same dire consequences and the end of civilization as we know it?  So, the rich have to pay the same rate as low income people on every dollar of earnings.  Sounds fair to me.

    479991[/snapback]

    OK, I'll bite. How is the marginal tax rate on the top 25% of earners 0%?

  13. Correct me if I'm wrong, but evolution is theory that we evolved from apes. The bible says God created man. Therfore, if you believe in one you can't believe in the other. So what I'm saying is most christian folks believe that "God" did this (created man). Now, if evolution is correct, then God did not create man. Meaning there is no God, or at least one like most christians believe.

    479736[/snapback]

    I do not agree with either of these statements. A great number of scientists believe in God; in Christian leaning nations this tends to be the Christian God. And actually, evolution states that man and apes evolved from common ancestors, not that man evolved directly from apes.

     

    Based on the overwhelming complexity inherent in our world and the substructures therein, I have an extremely difficult time imagining that God did not have a hand in our getting here (and keeping us here).

  14. Gare was from the 80's, LaFontaine from the 90's.  In 50 years they will have retired 5 jerseys at the current rate, provided we have at least 1 player that is HoF calibre like Gare and Pat in each decade.

    478307[/snapback]

    How do you figure they'll have only retired 5 numbers? After 16 and 18 go up, there'll be 6 numbers in the rafters and #39 will go up sometime in the next few years.
