We could still lose against NE, beat Miami and be in at 9-7, IF Tenny loses to Jax. I believe we beat Tenny on the 9-7 tiebreaker. Can't have SD win anymore though...something like that.

After the Bills beat the Rams in OT in December, 1980, the Talking Proud song played on a continuous loop and Freddy Smerlas led some of the team back on the field where they danced with the cheerleaders. That's what I think of when I hear the Talking Proud jingle.

Jets @ Saints is a more intriguing match-up than Bills-Fish??? And Beth Mowins?

Whenever I hear that craptastic song by Mariah Carey, I want to stick knitting needles in my ears...

He belongs on the Wall, along with Kyle Williams from the Drought Era.

Those forecasters never know what they're talking about...it will be sunny and 35 degrees.

Yankees better cut Jeter a playoff share...

There use to be a guy on this board named Silver "N Red who was a huge Halos fan. Don't recall seeing him here in years, however.

I go through about 40 pounds of seed every 5 weeks...it slows down this time of year though. Love watching the woodpecker on the feeder. A truly majestic creature...he's worth the price of the seed.

Giving players, coaches, front office personnel a ring is, of course, the right thing to do. Giving former players, longtime/screwed fans and others a ring cheapens it. I was already sick of the Cubs and their fans halfway through the 2016 WS...didn't have a dog in the hunt but started rooting for the Tribe when the Series moved to Chicago.

Time for my winter beers: New Belgium Accumulation and Sierra Nevada Celebration. Also liking that winter beer Southern Tier puts out and the Great Lakes Christmas Ale (but it's a bit pricey at $12/six pack).

Baltimore Orioles (had a partial season plan for many seasons) and the Washington Nationals (live about 25 minutes from stadium). In my youth, was part of the Rochester Red Wings Knot Hole Gang, which used to get you about 30 games for $1.00.

Oh, but I thought we all loved these end zone celebrations?

I watch the Bills of course, in the 1:00 window mostly, and if they win, I'll turn over to RedZone for awhile. If they lose, the TV goes off for the rest of the day. I watch the Thursday and Sunday night games to help me fall asleep...maybe see 15 minutes of each, max. Especially hate how SNF has become "Football Night in America" with all the bells/whistles etc to rival a Super Bowl game in the 1990s. Al Michaels is a great announcer, but I've grown tired of him. Wouldn't mind seeing Tirico in the prime spot. Have not watched more than 15 minutes of MNF this year, total. I'm a Sunday Ticket subscriber, so if they've lost me, for a large portion of the TV schedule, I can't imagine the "casual" fan watching much of the NFL.

I wonder how Sam Huff, Chuck Bednarik or Ray Nitschke would react to these "celebrations." Count me among the old bastards who think they're a bit over the top. If I want this type of "fun," I'll watch European soccer on Saturday morning. That Chiefs celebration yesterday while they were STILL BEHIND IN THE GAME was a joke. Be like HOFer Thurman Thomas: "Act like you've been there before."

Voted for the McKelvin game but the worst loss of all time to the Pats was the "just give it to 'em" game in 1998. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199811290nwe.htm

Romo and "Hello Friends" are doing the Bills-Pats game this week, I believe.

is it that bad this year that SU cannot even get a single vote in either poll? http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings

Seriously?

Thank you, but another Veterans Day here at the salt mine. Raise your hand if you're a veteran and at work today.

I was at that Pitt game also and the only thing that happened to us was one Steeler fan tried to spit on us on the way in...fortunately, the bastard missed. Before the game, we were on WHAM, who was broadcasting from a bar across the street from the stadium. After the game, we were just walking to our car and came across the Kelly clan and Papa Joe Kelly invited us over to partake in food and beverages. What a super guy he was! Saw Jim briefly as he was being heckled by Steeler fans walking in the parking lot to the RV. Jim pretty much ignored them and spent his time in the RV with his family.

I believe you're thinking of the Meadowlands during the Bills-Jets MNF game in 1988.

It's easy, Buffalo and New Orleans are relatively small markets with little national following, whereas both the Pack and Bears have a national following despite their records.

'Nuff said
