  1. What someone really needs to do is hand the keys to an 18 wheeler to a senior citizen who is no longer capable of driving & let him plow through the protesters like he would a storefront if he was behind the wheel of a car. Then we can hear another "I hit the gas instead of the brake" excuse & have something to rejoice over.
  2. Are you related to the guy who posted Mitch Frerotte died last June, today.
  3. In other news, Mitch Frerotte is still dead.
  4. It means he's the starter until Stafford is ready. They're either taking Stafford or trading the pick, and nobody with a QB situation as bad as Detroit trades the pick. Give Martin Mayhew a little credit that he's no Matt Millen.
  5. More likely a drug corner.
  6. Here's your exact quote "This guy was downright awful in every meaningful game down the stretch". 1st off, if you include SF, which was AFTER the KC game, you can't say every, since KC would be included in every, then change it to majority to fit your response. 2nd, "Down the stretch" means heading towards the finish. You can't selectively start the stretch in the middle of the race-it doesn't fit the definition. So maybe your problem is with defintions of the word every & the term down the stretch. Or you just don't want to give Edwards a fair shake.
  7. A little bit of selective memory there. You convieniently leave out 2 road games in the middle of that stretch: KC & Denver and call a game where he came out of the game at halftime with some form of injury (SF) awful. Personally, your analytical skills in analyzing him "down the stretch" are awful.
  8. Replacing 1/4 of the roster-not a problem! Gone: Losman, Jenkins, Omon, Simpson, Greer (UFA), Fox, McIntyre, Costanzo, Lehman, Whittle, Fowler, Mace, Preston, Scott, Royal, Stupar, Bryan. That 17/53 = 32.08%. So even if we keep 1 or 2 of these guys, replacing more than 1/4 of the roster is guaranteed. Counting every 2 players over 13 as another win beyond 500 & we're at least 10-6. Instead of planning for the Bills picking 3rd, I'm rejecting your rash decision to trade away virtually all of our picks next year & get to #3 and I'll be content watching the Bills stay put & draft 32nd in the 2010 draft.
  9. I haven't received it yet, but I was able to go on the website & pay for my tickets. Paid in full*** ***-Except for playoff & Super Bowl tickets.
  10. Corrected. About the only thing you got right was that Vince Ferragamo wasn't responsible for 14 losses.
  11. ...and now we know the rest of the story. In the story I read in a NY paper, Alomar claims he was raped by men in Mexico years ago. If that is true, it may explain why he reacted so violently when the umpire called him gay.
  12. East LA
  13. I picked the Bills to win the Super Bowl.
  14. To Ralph, those young 80 something girls are still hot.
  15. His contract is too big. So, I'd give up an 8th round pick.
  16. 9. No preseason game in Toronto. Also, it looks like were playing 5 exhibition games this year with the extra one in Canton. They're just trying to tire out the team so they can't repeat as Super Bowl champs in the 2010 season.
  17. I have this model in my bedroom. I paid $579 + tax for it & had delivery & setup including a cable box for another $30 for this and my tv in the living room. The 32" tv is placed a little past the end of the bed & it's perfect for someone watching tv from bed. Shipping may not be the best way to go unless you've read good reviews*** about the place shipping it. When you get it shipped, there's no setup & you have to make extra sure nothing got broken when you take delivery. Also-did you notice that this model isn't currently in stock & they can't tell you when it will be-that's another strike against ordering this tv off the internet. I have a Bravia 46" with a motion chip in the living room, that's a 1080 and since I'm partially color blind, I don't notice much of a difference. I've noticed that Fox broadcasts at 720 anyway, so if you're watching an NFC broadcast the 360 p's don't help. I wouldn't agree that bigger is better. The 46" in the living room fits in well because anything bigger would block my fireplace. Also my electric bill shot up by about 100 kws in the 1st month I had the new sets. I have to believe that the bigger the tv the more your electric bill will go up. ***Edit, it looks like the place on the link is pretty good, here are the reviews. On the one bad one I saw, someone from the store wrote in to refute the words of the critic. http://www.resellerratings.com/store/B_H_P...Video_Pro_Audio
  18. Mark Brunell If they're looking for a veteran backup, it's really slim pickings.
  19. Here are my views of digital: I have 3 digital tvs. 2 are hooked up to cable boxes, the 3rd is hooked up to an indoor Phillips 32dB amplified antenna. The problem with the tv hooked up to the antenna is that the tv signals are coming from different directions. Up until I added the amplification, I was not getting all the stations that are out there. In fact, I'm still not sure I'm getting them all because there's a local high def (HD) channel on my cable that I don't get in on the antenna. When I reset the tv to see if they have added this station, I never get it, but sometimes other digital channels drop out, so I might have to play around with the antenna & reset several times just to get the stations I know I should be receiving. Then last night I recorded SNL on a VCR (with digital tuner) and I was getting small gaps in the recording since the NBC station has a weaker signal than some of the other stations. On the cable, I'm at the mercy of my provider. For example, USA Network broadcasts programs in HD, but Time Warner doesn't have USA on the HD band in the Albany area-so I don't get any USA programs in HD. The positives are the high def programs are great and the digial picture is far superior to analog. High def comes in fine with just an antenna as long as the station is working ok on that antenna angle. The negatives are that the digital tvs cut the top of people's heads off on closeups. As more tvs go digital/high def the directors should learn to compensate for this. The freezing & gapping can get annoying using an indoor antena. The resetting mode becoming almost like a lottery as to which stations will register needs to be worked on by the broadcasters in areas where tv signals come from a variety of transmitters. Finally, I couldn't imagine hooking up an old tv to a converter box-you still don't get any HD broadcasts, which is the major benefit of digital tv to us consumers. I have a question for the converter box users-When I put a high def signal into a recorder that is not high def, the picture is shrunk down vertically. Does this happen to the programs in high def when using a non-HDTV connected to a converter box?
  20. I'll be at the stadium where they played the game. If the Bills are in the Super Bowl-I'm there.
  21. Here's why you're wrong. I doubt that 95% of the people on this board have the ability to cheat, skim or lie on their taxes. For me, in most years, there's nothing I can do to cheat. Before I bought a house, it was basically income & the standard deduction. After I bought my house, my itemized deductions were interest, property taxes, and state income tax (and contributions to charity-which I don't make beyond a very small $ amount). A lot of people think there are things you can manufacture to deduct-it's simply not true. Deductions don't come from thin air. If more people realized this, places like H & R Block would be out of business, because unless you're rich enough to have a more complex return, there aren't deductions to be found.
  22. TE-we have no TE who should be playing in the NFL as anything other than a 3rd TE on any roster. Royal could be a #2, but not on a team that wants to win.
  23. Did you watch it at a home for the blind?
  24. I need 1 more TD to hit my #s, Pit 9, Ariz 7. All one has to do is look at what the Jets & NE did to Arizona to see what will happen today. Outside of the Carolina game, Arizona has done nothing to impress when they play anywhere else but on their homefield.
