  1. Third defensive play of week 3.
  2. Oh, it's not embarrassing; it's entertaining. I love the drunk calls starting at 415pm on Sundays. But I also usually like S&B's show, too.
  3. I don't think so. The "hardcore," assuming you mean big drinkers, will avoid those lots like the plague. Amen. This is more of a "something for everyone" than it is a "screw the hardcore tailgaters." The team left options open in other team-owned lots, and of course there are always independent lots like Hammer's, where even the league restrictions don't apply.
  4. For some people, getting in and out is a priority--not everyone tailgates; some people just want to watch the game. And even some people who tailgate want to do so before the game, but not afterwards. Lots 2 and 3 are for these people now; everyone else still has a wide variety of parking options. I don't think they've "ruined" or "watered down" anything at all--they've added an option for people who want to get out quickly after the game while preserving other lots for people who want to hang out afterwards.

  6. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/132368-aaron-maybin-only-weighs-228lbs/ Four threads below this one.
  7. The sub-headline was A wonderfully written One; nice job John C.
  8. I think you meant, "It's already August."
  9. There is a spoiler tag... In any event, I was surprised to see Fergie on there. I was also surprised at the absence of some QBs who were not on there, like .
  10. Here's a hint: Three former Bills are among the answers. http://www.sporcle.com/games/14bball21/top-50-career-nfl-passing-yards-leaders-mines
  11. Unfortunately, not even close. There's always Walt Patulski, and there are actually a few more that were worse; I'd nominate Terry Miller and CERTAINLY Mike Williams for that dubious award, too. (At least Tom Cousineau turned into the best QB we've seen in Buffalo, but that was a crappy pick, too.)
  12. I wouldn't mind the Bills actually spending some real coin on a 2-year deal for Heap, some real REAL coin on Gaither, retaining Poz (unless they can improve there, and I'm not sure they can), and calling it a day.
  13. It's about Belichick. Geez. If he had called it "Between the Lines," instead of "Between the Lies," would it have been more freaking plain? (Only half kidding.)
  14. Agreed to a point...he's a decent filler who might be good if surrounded with the right teammates. He's the Jochen Hecht of football.
  15. He always was going to do it. The real shame lies in the fact that he absolutely could have floated their pay across the lockout, but didn't. These are people without millions of dollars. But apparently, a lot of NFL owners pulled the same ****, so whatever.
  16. Of course there's Brett Favre talk. Seemingly there will be Brett Favre talk as long as (1) there's a football league and (2) he's alive. But there's something funny with Mike Florio's latest: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/23/report-eagles-interested-in-brett-favre/ That's not a picture of Favre. (Hover your mouse over the photo and you'll get the description, "favreimpersonator.") Instead, the website--on purpose or accidentally--references this video: I hope it's on purpose. That would be hilarious. Note: There's a word or two in the video that may (but probably shouldn't) be offensive to some; think of the first name of a former Bills head coach and you're on track...
  17. You said it before I could. I know what the recent Supreme Court ruling said, and I also know that the reality is that it's one business, albeit one with franchises that compete against one another. Also, anyone who is against revenue sharing should take a serious look at MLB and the English Premier League. Is that what we want?
  18. Well, his brand already is destroyed, isn't it? And even if it isn't, if he thinks he can make a point that athletes don't give up their right to express opinions simply because of sponsorship deals, and he wants to put his time and his money where his mouth is, I can admire his commitment to making the business world a little more friendly for other players (there's the Curt Flood comparison).
  19. 1. How many future deals is this really costing him? 2. Maybe he's the type of guy who would rather stick to HIS (not mine, yours, Champion's, but his) principles than get paid. Like a Curt Flood type. Nothing wrong with that.
  20. I remember that very well. I was deeply offended... ...that anyone in my country is that stupid. (I have since been similarly offended on innumerable occasions.)
  21. Without knowing what services the other counties provide, I'd guess there's a one-word answer to this: Medicaid.
  22. Sevens is kind of like Arena football.
  23. Only semi-pro, AFAIK. What I'm watching is English, and it's definitely a replay (since it's about 2am over there). It's still better than post-'94 baseball.
  24. Since 1994, the game has been a freaking farce. I'm not watching; I think that ESPN missed a golden opportunity by showing Friday Night Lights instead of something live. TWC13 has rugby; I'm lovin' it.
