I'm with you here...I think 9-7 may be good enough this year, with both Wild Cards coming out of the East. Way too much football left however.

Speaking of ugly, what was up with the Skins uniforms last night?

A western New Yorker who moved to North Carolina...who knew?

Nothing's gone right since Lynch's endzone dance last week in Miami. I think it was during the 3rd qtr today, Nance/Simms were talking about turning points in a season...the Lynch "dance" may have been ours...

Pam Ward anyone? Our former LB has the look of "Me Likee!"

What Singletary didn't probably know, is that he was just following 49er precedence... It's happened before at Candlestick

Why don't they just cut the snake open and get the baby out?

Why don't they just cut the snake open and get the dog out?

Just more pre-election day grandstanding centered around what these pols deem to be a populist issue...

Interesting. King is a heavyweight with the HOF voters and if he's behind a guy, that's usually good news. (So, we like King this week? ) For years, he was blamed down here in DC for keeping Art Monk OUT of the Hall. King's premise was that Gary Clark was the more feared and effective receiver...whatever.

Whitner's name has popped up on the blogosphere but really no credible sources...ESPN sez it's only 8 players, some say more, blah, blah, blah....

Here's my take on how the conversation will flow: Golic: "Hey Greeny, your Jets are going up to Buffalo this Sunday whatta ya think?" Greeny: "You know Golic, the Jets are a big market team and with Favre, I think the J-E-T-S win up their easily...but the Jets better pack their parkas!" Golic: "We've got Jim Kelly here...Jim, how long do the Bills have left in Buffalo?"

Putting the Sabol family in the Hall would be a good decision...growing up in the 60s and 70s, NFL Films was a driving factor in me becoming a pro football fan...the highlights, Facenda, the music...the Sabols made it all come together. I believe they helped create a generation on NFL fans and their election to the game's highest individual honor is indeed fitting.

You guys do your best hunting in the hills around Helmand province...

no, playoff format stays the way it is.

Here's one with a good ending...the wife was pulled over for speeding down here in Fairfax, VA about a month ago...as the officer approached the vehicle, he saw the Bills license plate frame...he told my wife he was from WNY and a huge Bills fan...she got off with a warning.

This ONE just came out last month.

I didn't have a huge problem with it at the time...thought it was early in the game, just get the points. Does not excuse not getting the TD, however. With three shots from inside the five, you should be able to get the TD.

This is where having D* comes in handy. Commercial break = change to Red Zone Channel. Always some action and no commercials.

Rivalries are not exclusive to teams that are "winners." Winners are just given more air-time on ESPN. Think Army-Navy is not a rivalry, just because Army has stunk up the joint for, oh, the last decade? And I think OSU-Mich will always be a "rivalry" regardless of won-loss records....just ask people in Columbus and Ann Arbor. I still fail to comprehend the young lad's assertions that 80% of those watching NFL games are between the ages of 15-30. I'd like to see some citation there....and that moving to the AFC North will somehow instill an instant rivalry with the Browns and Steelers. You think those in Cleveland and Pittsburgh are clamoring for the addition of Buffalo in the division? Me thinks not, but that's only my opinion.

That's the key...Bills stop Brown, they win. Brown runs wild, it will be a long afternoon. I share your concern.

From the list of prohibited items:

Why don't you check with the person(s) who got you the on-field pass rather than depend on the mooks on this board? Sorry, just jealous of your wealth... Enjoy the game, if you take pictures, please share!

Baseball has always been their bread and butter...it started primarily as a baseball publication many years ago...it's only relatively recently...30 years or so, that they started covering football with any depth. Now, they're into the four major team sports plus NASCAR (they still doing NASCAR?) I still have a copy from 1970, with Brooks Robinson on the cover...sigh....
