  1. I was at that game, Reich started and Gilbert came in in the second half...home field throughout was clinched for the Bills at that point, and they put Gilbert in just to get him some PT. Link
  2. In Richmond, do they have a Foster's Grill? Guess they're kind of a new chain, but we have one here in Fairfax and the wings are the best I've had outside of WNY...worth the trip if you've got one handy.
  3. I'd settle for a Tim Horton's here in Fairfax...
  4. The other night here in Washington, the Ch. 4 (NBC) sports anchor on the 11:00 news announces: "Three former Redskins finalists for the Hall of Fame: Bruce Smith, Andre Reed, and Russ Grimm." Although, Lindsay C is very easy on the peepers.
  5. One thing that needs to be addressed is the HOF voting scheme. I believe it is fatally flawed. Giving the power to just 35 or so voters just smacks of bias. I've said it before, while not perfect by any means, I think baseball gets it right. Get a ballot and send it back in. Football's process, putting the voters in a locked room and debating each candidate, just reeks of political deal-making and promotes favoritism. Peter King for years kept Art Monk out because, when he covered the Giants for Newsday, the Giants claimed that Skins teammate Gary Clark was the more feared receiver. Year after year, he convinced the voters to keep Monk out for this reason. The voters finally caved last year, or maybe they voted for Monk while King was out getting a latte. I can envision King telling his fellow scribes that Reed doesn't belong because of his inability to go across the middle in Super Bowl XXV against the Giants... Fix the system. Make it a secret vote. Open it up to more individuals. The process now in place stinks.
  6. I've had the Ticket since the 2000 season...Bills have not made the playoffs in all the years I've had it. I'm to blame, not Dick. Seriously, I'll keep ST...I think....
  7. Isn't he the Rhodes scholar? Would he want to give that up to play on Sundays?
  8. Linky Jeeziz, the Bills have played at Jax so many times over the last several years, it's almost like they're in the AFC East....
  9. Nothing says "Christmas" like Walker, Texas Ranger...
  10. BFD, so he tossed a chunk of snow into the stands...seems no one was offended, and it looks like the fan who "caught" the snow block was intent on keeping it as a souvenir. This piece of "memorabilia" will probably sit in this guy's freezer forever.
  11. I also find it amazing all the stuff you can buy now that features the characters...I saw Rudolph slippers yesterday, there are a ton of books for the kids that feature the TV storyline, and my 3 year old was given a set of Rudolph cookie cutters that even included Yukon!
  12. They shoulda put the Terps against Navy in tomorrow's game at RFK...would have sold out the place. Instead, they pick Wake. And with the cheapest tix starting at $45, no thanks.
  13. Stop the world, I want to get off....
  14. The episode with Ted's choir singing "Charles in Charge" was one of my all-time favorites...
  15. That game was over when Dick failed to challenge the Welker catch on the first Pats' drive...in a season of mostly dumb challenges (the Gore fumble was the only significant one he won?) failing to challenge the Welker, which then led to a NE TD, set the tone for the Bills that day.
  16. A thread of this type popped up a week or so ago, and I'll say now what I said then...The Lynch dance in the endzone after his TD to put Buffalo up 16-7 in Miami, in the 3rd qtr was the turning point. The very next play the Fish hit a long gainer and the rest is history. Marshawn's dance was the downfall...it's been all craptastic ever since.
  17. This is like comparing Caddyshack to Caddyshack II...
  18. Thanks Ken for the great job as always...I think I suggested this game last week. As for Denver, there's just too many to choose from...the 1991 AFC championship game comes to mind of course, but I'll always remember a game in 1981 where Nick Mike-Mayer won a game for the Bills in Orchard Park with a FG in the waning seconds to best the Broncos, 9-7. Box
  19. Classic. My three and five year olds asked me the same thing last week! I wish I had your well-thought out answer at the ready, but alas, I was left to just blame it on sloppy clamation...
  20. I actually like Bob, grew up reading him. However, he owes the entire last 10 years to Zippy Chippy...
  21. Since our only win in 1968 was against the Super Bowl bound Jets, perhaps a review of that game would be in order... Box
  22. The turning point was Lynch's dance in the endzone after his TD put the Bills up 16-7 in Miami, in the 3rd qtr. The VERY NEXT PLAY the Fish gain a gazzillion yards on a pass to Ginn Jr. (I think) and the Fish go on to beat the Bills by nine points. It was that stupid end zone dance that started the whole slide....
  23. And when Rudolph leaves Hermie and Corny at the guest quarters on the Island of Misfit Toys...he fails to shut the door. The Dentist and Yukon shoulda froze to death; leaving King MoonRazor to explain the situation to the authorities.
  24. Completely plausible. But why were there only six reindeer...the Bible says there were eight. And on the Christmas Eve where Rudolph first leads the team, his father, Donner, is left behind, but expresses a deep sense of pride at seeing his son lead Santa's team. What up with 'dat?!?!? The script has more holes than Dick's offensive gameplan...
  25. What the hell was wrong with the misfit doll?
