Well, Bellyache also got fired from that same team. I'm not worried about Saban. Hell, Gregggg Williams was the D-coordinator for a great defense in Tenny and we all know what happened there. I wouldn't get too anxious about it. I don't care how often he talks to BB. He's NOT BB. And the NFL is a different game, especially with GM responsibilities. It will be a good long time before Saban does anything with Miami, if he does at all.

Jeez, we should have a dumbass test before we let opposing team's fans in here. I have a feeling you wouldn't have made the cut. Hey Mr. Mensa - I was complimenting your TEAM, not trashing your QB!

That's the thing. Who cares if Ben is exposed. The important thing to realize is that Ben isn't the reason the team is winning! The Steelers as a TEAM are winning, Ben or not. You can rattle Ben and still get beat by the Steelers. It also bothers me that Pittsburgh fans are acting like Ben is the second coming. Well, he's not. He's a very good QB on a very good team with a great defense.

I have to disagree that the AFC E just got more difficult. There's a huge difference between the situations that Belechek and Saban are now in. First, Belecheck has a GM who is good. Saban is going to be his own GM. This is a huge mistake, and it's too much for a coach to handle. It's NEVER worked out. I was worried about Saban being coach of Miami until I heard this. Miami will be the doormat of the AFC E for the next few years. Even if Saban is a good coach, we only play them 2X a year, and any team that can beat our other competitors is huge. The Bills suffer because every other team beats Miami, unless it's a fluke. Imagine if the Jets lost to Miami once! WE'd be in! Thirdly, Saban hasn't done jack in the NFL. He hasn't managed a draft, and dealing with multimillionaire players is different than dealing with college kids. Just ask Spurrier, Butch Davis, or Dennis Erickson. I'm not worried about Saban just because Belecheck thinks he's good. Screw Belecheck, and screw Saban.

I recently had an e-mail exchange with him. He called me an idiot for contesting his assertion that the Bills suck. When I asked him if the wins against teams with winning records counted more because the wins against teams with losing records counted less, he called me an idiot. Who is this "Humpty" person, anyway?

It's not on because you are a horrible person.

Ouch, that looks as painful as Chairman Mao in a commodities market!

I'll start: "One day when I was chillin in Kentucky Fried Chicken ..." Everybody now! A little Run DMC sing along!

For all who care, I figured it out. I have a new vid card that I installed on the mobo in the process of building the machine. ATI Raedon all-in-wonder 9800 Pro. Anyway, there's a cooling fan on it, and there was a wire hitting the center part of the fan and slowing it down. The card would overheat because it was getting too hot - the fan wasn't spinning fast enough. That's why the SATA drive wouldn't format, and all kinds of odd stuff would happen during install. As soon as I fixed that, everything was great! I highly recommend the 10,000 RPM SATA drives. Screaming fast.

I've got a dell XPS right now and it rocks. I wish I could afford the vid card upgrade to the 9800 - I bought it when the 9700 was standard.

Yes, the Bills have beaten bad teams, but they should. The true test is how they beat them. Good teams should kick the crap out of bad teams. We have done that. So I don't want to hear the BS about Buffalo playing bad teams. We've won convincingly in every game we should have in the last 3/4 of the season. Also, I'd like to remind everyone that Donahoe sucks.

I loved legos and loved to build models. I got a slot car track and a science experiment kit once. That was awesome. One year I got a radio you could build yourself. That was really cool. God, I'm a friggin geek.

112K miles! Dude, that's awesome! That's a good amount of milage for a truck, so chances are it could be something pretty bad. You may have to cut your losses and get a new truck. Count your blessings that the thing lasted as long as it did, because that's awesome.

Jingrle behrs, Jingrle behrs. Awesome movie! My father in law is in tears every time he sees that because he remembers so much about being a kid in those years. I enjoy him laughing as much as I enjoy the movie itself.

Update: Tried formatting a regular IDE drive. Only got through 30% - just like my SATA drive. I figure something is overheating and stopping it. Odd stuff.

I think the 10000 RPM ones are. That's what I have. I have a new PS with native SATA support. As far as speed goes, I'm expecting it will be faster since the HD I/O is the biggest bottleneck at this point for most systems.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Nothing more frustrating than new geek stuff that won't work.

I have a new ASUS board - and it won't recognize my new SATA drive. There's an option on the board to do a low level format through the RAID controller, but it only gets about 10% through then stops. Any ideas?

I use IMAP. I do so because I'm on a couple of computers where I need access to all my e-mail. IMAP does a pretty good job of that, while still being able to organize my e-mail into folders and have them accessible anywhere. Works great with Thunderbird! The important thing is to archive. I archive my old e-mail that I still need to keep to DVDs. I have a couple gigs worth in about 8 months between both work and personal e-mail.

I love cats. I can't eat a whole one, though.

BTW - that's not a glock in your avatar. It's a bell set - or that's what we used to call them in HS.

Holy cow! Exclamation points!

Oh my gosh! Overuse of the exclamation point! Yeah man, going to the playoffs really sucks. It's horrible.
