Dirtbag

is it in los angeles now?

seriously. why didn't they make that the toronto game? green bay sucks in a dome.

word. that leaves helluva more time for the bills boy reporters. i like the chubby one.

yeah, i think that they accidentally released the mock-up of the article. they were probably deciding how much detail to add (i.e., whether or not to add the specific type of cancer). hopefully the site was just hacked, but that doesn't seem very likely.

no doubt. have you read "where men win glory"? you might find it interesting since it very much speaks to his motivation -- which I think is more than him just being a thrill seeker. i think he was wrestling with notions of honor, patriotism, sacrifice, self-worth, etc. if it was just about him getting an adrenaline high, he could have went bungee jumping or something. regardless, the dude gave the ultimate sacrifice to his country -- and willingly participated in one war that he felt was illegal. that takes a certain kind of man. EDIT: and that last line goes for anyone willing to go overseas to fight a war for the rest of us.

my reaction is the opposite: the more i learned about him, the more i liked him.

dude's a hack. never bothers to unearth the positives of this 14 year playoff drought.

graham is reporting that the family gave him permission to share the date and time. and given this tweet from jill kelly, it certainly sounds like they're encouraging people to show up: https://twitter.com/HJKforever/status/457513676249907200/photo/1

i have no idea what you're talking about in the rest of your post, but the part above really caught my eye. i love the way brandon acts like the ultimate badass in his pressers, glaring that death stare like he's on the precipice of unleashing an ass beating any second. it's the best. he probably gets all juiced for those things by turning off the lights in the field house, cranking up the nickelback, slipping into his big boy pants and destroying a heavy bag he painted to look like sully.

actually we do. i'm currently scouring the los angeles county pennysaver for similar examples of this brand of yellow journalism. last month those morons erroneously claimed that jerry butler only achieved 842 yards from scrimmage in the '81 season -- totally ignoring that 1 yard rush he had, bringing the total to 843. idiots. trust me, they received a sharply worded rebuke from yours truly posthaste. sincerely, dirtbag bills fact checkers society of the united states local 435 (90035 division) "assuring the accuracy of buffalo bills-related articles for the general public since 1960."

if that's the case, we should definitely trade down from the 9 spot and see if we can pick him up at 16 again. then we could pick up kiko with that extra second round pick we get.

can i mention the part where todd mcshay eats off part of mel kiper's face?

does the climax of the film involve the browns desperately trying to reach buddy nix only to realize he's at home, in bed, asleep?

be sympathetic. dude sounds seriously depressed.

honestly, i'm surprised this hasn't been suggested before, particularly with all the recent bon jovi talk. a johnny goo/billy sheehan ownership group combines all the elements bon jovi offers -- weathered yet approachable good looks, a rapidly aging, strangely fanatic fan base, and hair stylings that have defiantly withstood the test of time -- plus one more essential component: blue collar credibility. i can't confirm this for sure, but i suspect they (or at least someone they know or knew) probably had something to do with bethlehem steel at some time. or at least heard of it. could you imagine ej, dareus and all those williams(es) emerging from the tunnel to the sweet stylings of billy's bone-rattlin' bass? how amazing would it be to to stand at attention as johnny goo and robbie goo unleash a heart-stopping, a cappella rendition of the national anthem? imagine, for a moment, billy and steve vai going to battle in one of their vaunted bass/guitar shred-offs at the fifty yard line during halftime -- how mind-blowing would that be? maybe they could even somehow bring joe satriani into the mix. one things for sure: no ear would be left un-bleeding. to be clear, i have no idea if messrs. goo or sheehan have either the money or interest. still, that's no reason to not put public pressure on them to make it happen. if they loved buffalo they would do this for us. thoughts?

jasper.

i thought we weren't required to address him as "mr." until after he buys the team.

schneid. as in the great american humorist, rob schneider.

the one not named williams.

i considered making it a single run-on sentence but thought that might be a tad excessive.

this is the part that always irks me. before all this bills buying stuff came up, jovi would roll into b-lo with that whole thank you for loving me sentimentality, but we all know that if he buys the team he'll be like, have a nice day! for him, it's a business deal -- it ain't a love song. and most business deals involve someone having to take bad medicine. i'm sure if you ask him if he's moving the bills, he'll just say, keep the faith or he's misunderstood, and the team would never say goodbye. and some fans will probably believe him because they'll think, why would he move the team? -- we got it going on! but we all know that they'll hit up the lost highway like a runaway for toronto or l.a. or santa fe or wherever else one wild night after he buys them. it will be a shot to the heart. and if you ask why, he'll probably just say, because we can. ultimately, it will be about the money -- that's how things are these days. being a fan of this team has been no bed of roses the last few years, but we really should appreciate the time they're still here. every game should be an opportunity to make a memory. one thing's for certain -- if jovi does take them to toronto i'll probably end up in an local emergency room, begging a doctor to hook me up with some morphine to dull the pain.

don't shortchange the sabres here. the chance of another team losing the stanley cup due to brett hull scoring an illegal goal is highly unlikely as well. i celebrate both accomplishments equally.

you know, one of those classic "speak softly but carry a big stick" free agencies. much better than an "it is what it is" free agency but not quite as good as a "tall, dark and handsome" free agency.

this is the part that confuses me. i've always heard -- well, for the last few years -- that wilson stated that the team would be sold to the highest bidder after his death (at least according to sully and others at the buffalo news). i figured the bills were as good as gone since i assumed that either an l.a. or toronto group would overbid for the prize of an nfl franchise. still, today's news makes it sound like there's a new owner waiting in the wings. and for some reason, i just don't think ralph would make a secret deal with a group planning on moving the team. if that was his agenda, why would he enter into that 10 year lease? any prospective owner that wanted to move them certainly wouldn't be cool with that agreement. but why would ralph go out of his way to say the team was going to the highest bidder if he had a secret plan? wouldn't it be better to not comment on it all? or maybe mary just wants to wash her hands of the team asap and get paid. i don't know what to make of all this. like i said, confused.

better yet, let's all meet back here in late december 2013 and whine over who got it right.
