I agree, and have stated all along, that if he did perjure himself he belongs in jail. My guess is that he probably didn't perjure himself on some technicality. I'm looking at this from the point of view that this guy is a lawyer, and I'm assuming a fairly smart one to have moved this far up the political food chain. He knows (my assumption) what perjury is, he also knows what he knows about all this and when he learned what he knows. Being a lawyer, he is used to using "weasel words" to say one thing when he means another. Probably something along the lines of him learning that Wilson's wife worked at CIA from Cheney but not knowing her last name was Plame and/or that she had been a covert agent and getting told by a reporter what the last name was and the specific question that Fitzgerald asked was "when did you learn and from who did you learn Valerie PLAME was a covert CIA agent". Technically, he would have learned about Plame from the reporter; realistically he would have learned from Cheney. If my guess is correct, is that perjury? Mickey could help me with this one, but I don't believe that it technically is perjury. Again, as I've stated before, I don't like people working in the Executive Branch taking liberties with sworn testimony. Considering nothing official has been released from the grand jury yet, I am willing to wait a couple of more days to see what indictments, if any, are handed out. The NYT is, or should be, speculating at this time on what is in Fitzgerald's possession at this time.

Looks like GG's quote about this becoming another "definition of what 'is' is" is coming to fruition.

Jerry can see that a spade is a spade and he calls the spade a spade, but he also comes to the conclusion that the entire deck has no red cards because he only saw the spade and he tells everyone that the deck has no red cards. 2 cases in point. I accidentally heard him on GR a couple of days ago and tried to give him the once every 3 month 5 minute listen and I just couldn't do it. His rant was about hockey and how stupid it is to have different rules in the regular season and overtime. Whoa, the guy is actually right (IMHO) about something for once. His remedy: convert playoff rules to regular season rules. WTF?!? His reasoning was that regular season has the "quickie" OT so people can get home early. (Which is actually WRONG, it's due to television advertisements and scheduling; not to let the crowd get home in time to see the 11 o'clock news.) He'd kill the most exciting thing in sports (again, IMHO) so that the playoffs will be consistent w/ the regular season. Case in point #2. He would start Losman this week against NE. Yes the season is over if the Bills lose to NE and they will probably lose no matter which QB they go with. With that being said, why would you send the kid to the lions. The Pats are coming off their bye, meaning BB has had 2 weeks to game plan; it's a night game on the road; Bruschi will likely have the Pats and crowd in a frenzy; and the last time JP played there, it did not go well (and that was not his fault); and (according to the media at least) the vets have little to no faith in JP. All of these indicate that this will be a tremendously difficult game for him to win. IF JP is the future of this team, and I think he MIGHT be; why would you risk him getting it in his head that he cannot win in NE? Yes, JP should be starting again soon; please wait until the KC game, when he may actually have a legitimate chance of playing well.

You are right in that it IS possible that the Bills will pull the upset of the Donahoe era. (Heck, it might even be bigger than going into Jacksonville and getting GW's 1st win ) Unfortunately, I just don't see it happening (but d*mn, it would be cool if it does happen). Not on Sunday night, not w/ NE coming off a bye, not w/ Bruschi giving the team and fans an emotional lift (even if he never sets foot on the field, him dressing probably gives the Pats a 3 point boost). I hope I'm wrong.

I don't think the laws that punish crack possession more severely than powder coke are racist as much as they are classist. The politicians don't see crack in their inner circles, but I'd be surprised if they didn't see or suspect the other form within their crowds. (I can't remember which comedian it was, maybe Robin Williams, that said that cocaine was God's way of telling people they had too much money.)

They also beat Titans at home Sunday night before labor day a few years ago.

Right now there is about a 50% chance that Nate will not be back next year. This is what has you excited?

IF they beat NE, they have an excellent chance to win the division as they will probably go 6-0 in the division (assuming they beat NE this week) and 8-8 suddenly becomes possible for winning the division. Unfortunately, based upon what I have seen to this point, I do not see the team beating NE. Up until the Raiders game, I thought the team had an outside shot at a playoff birth. I thought with an injured Randy Moss, the Bills would be able to concentrate on stopping Jordan and that the Bills could win the game. I was definitely wrong about the 2nd 2, and it looks like I was wrong about the 1st one as well. The one saving grace is that up until now they haven't lost in their division. Buffalo historically does not play well in road night games. In the rare road night game they do play well, they still usually find ways to lose (the "just give it to them game" in Foxboro being a prime example). This team has found ways to lose all 3 road games so far. I hope I am wrong (boy do I hope I am wrong), but I just simply do not see the team getting it done at Foxboro this Sunday night.

If getting their butts kicked by a 1-4 team is any indication, the Bills have a LONG way to go to reach mediocrity.

OK, for the positives ... The Sabres look good.

Yeah, how many people here would have thought before the season started that Reed would have a good chance of coming back next year and Moulds might not be back.

How 'bout the Dishrags? 'Cause when it comes to clean up time, everybody uses them.

Ooh, aah, Sabres, er, BILLS on the golf course.

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.

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.

I don't want to throw Losman back into the fire against NE, not on a Sunday night coming off a bye with everyone pumped up because Bruschi's back. Let Kelly try to work some sort of a miracle, and if he doesn't, let JP start against KC at home.

Stop sugar coating it. It wasn't that good.

Is it over yet? I can't bear to watch after the 3rd and ~14 run up the middle for ~20.

Can Clements go with him? I don't understand how the Bills cannot make a single working adjustment at halftime in any game on either side of the ball.

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

I would still allow the division winners into the playoffs, but I would prefer though to have a sort of penalty system for division winners that aren't over .500. I would not allow a team without a winning record to host a playoff game, unless their opponent were also .500 or worse.

Don't know how many Bills fans (if any) will be there, but Ivar's in B.R. is a good sports bar. Is your friend going to be in B.R. or L.C.? The 2 are about 2 hours apart.

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.

Yeah, but we all know WNY is a horrible place to live, so the survey must be fatally flawed.
