Offside Number 76

Karma's a B word in game 6, says this Sabres fan.

I had no idea who the OC was until reading this. Actually, I thought Gaily was both HC and OC. I don't think I've ever heard or seen Modkins's name before. I'm not sure if that means I'm a pathetic fan or Modkins is an anonymous OC. Or a little of both.

Look again...

I remember the Rackers attempt. I don't believe that the kicker may use a tee, as some have suggested.

The Raiders, Steelers, and Packers all have a significant national following, maybe in that order. And the Steelheads may be a little more visible right now just due to recent success. But I don't think any of those teams have quite the national fanbase that "America's Team" (wow, do I hate that) has. (I travel a lot too, and I've lived all over the country.)

I don't know who you know, but the Cowboys are the Yankees of the NFL.

The Cowboys are the most popular team in the country and always will have a lot of primetime games. It's about as useful as complaining that the Yankees are on Fox too often. The fins, well, I can't explain that.

Maybe some are arguing that he wasn't developed properly or given the right opportunity (notice I didn't say AN opportunity) here. But I think the poster above who said that being cut might have lit a fire under Maybin's butt probably has it right. On the other hand, it's tough to find a lot of good to say about Edwards right now, and that includes Maybin.

I guess I've been wrong for saying that Okla. shouldn't have fallen from no. 1 while idle. This shakes things up quite a bit. Boise or OSU for no. 3? (And I see OU beating OSU later this year, which might be enough to FINALLY put Boise in a title game.

Yep. It's not like Bills tix are through-the-roof expensive.

Some LSU kids are banned for smoking synthetic marijuana, and now I've come to learn that a USC (SEC) basketball player died from it. More reason to just legalize the real thing...

Do we know if it's the one with Bruce running, or the circle emblem w/ Bruce's face in it?

Smith will not have a very big impact.

Right there with you.

I have the same problem with the article, and I like McShea. It isn't even funding football. It's funding a radio broadcast that proved too unpopular to stand on its own. If the Bills had committed some money to youth football programs and yanked it, I might have a problem with that. This was a commercial sponsorship that was producing no return.

We don't know that it's $10K, and it definitely is not a service for kids. It's not like the kids can't play the games anymore; they just won't be broadcast on radio--do the kids need their school to be on radio once every X years? After years of funding this, perhaps the Bills decided that the broadcasts haven't proven popular enough to stand on their own, so enough was enough. The Bills gave the program a chance, and the program didn't succeed. How many people here listened to the Intense Milks Game of the Week? I hadn't even heard of it until I read McShea's article.

'88

Obviously a fellow St. Joe's grad.

Same here, and it disgusts me to say it, too. (But he's also a UB alum, so I've got at least some level of solidarity with him.)

Non-voting shares? No thanks, for me. That doesn't prevent what we all want to prevent. If you're only interested in the ROI, sure. But as numerous other people have mentioned (including you), the NFL no longer allows publicly-held corps to own teams. They're allowed to give franchises to whom they want; their rules.

You did?

That's insane.

Very nice. The ethnic last name bit was the funniest, for me.

Fast fact: If we had a thread about what radio jackasses picked for or against our Bills in every NFL market, in every week, that would be at least 31 threads (I'm combining the two NJ teams into one radio market). Who the F cares?
