[Got my season's renewal in and it's]

They are billing for 10 games so if they are playing 1 in Germany or somewhere else, I expect a $296 refund Ralph.

Interesting....

[Hall of Fame Finalists Announced Wednesday...]

Seeing 'Miami Dolphins' after Thurman's name still strikes me as being wrong, just wrong.

[U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer]

U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer announced today that he will meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday, January 11 at 10:30 am in his office in Washington, D.C.

So will the commish show up at Schumer's office on Wednesday or Thursday, January 11?

How about a pic of Jack Kemp throwing to Lee Evans....sorta of connecting the generations, Buffalo-style.

I'm sorry, but it IS the case...

[Sunday Night 12/31]

I was just on the NFL.com web site checking out next week's schedule and it states a game will be moved to 8:15 pm.

 

Did I miss the announcement and the NFL didn't update the schedule? Or have they really not decided which game to move?

875116[/snapback]

NFL has SIX days in week 17 to move a start time...thus, may not know until Monday.

[The Comeback Game on at 1:00 this aft]

And yes the onside kick was a called play

The "Suicide Onside" was the official call in the Bills' playbook.

[Looks like a bunch of games are blacked out]

And NFL moves games with 2 week notice.  The NFL's arrogance has gone too far IMO and it wiill cost them future ticket sales.

875002[/snapback]

Wait until next week, Glenn...NFL can move the start times on SIX days notice for week 17.

[The Comeback Game on at 1:00 this aft]

This one WILL be on TV.

[Looks like a bunch of games are blacked out]

The team doesn't sell as many tickets if people know they can watch the game from the comfort of home. Add parking, concessions, souvenirs, etc. ...

874928[/snapback]

Same could be said for any league, any sport college or pro, yet the NFL, the "King of the World," is the only league with a non-sellout blackout "policy."

 

And it's the only league that schedules games and in turn asks its fans to come and sit their butts outside in December and January. (save for the few college games in early December, i.e. Army/Navy)

Out-f'n-standing Marine!

 

[19,000 Titans vs Bills Tickets left]

if i remember correctly, nothing was a lock, esspicially to host the home wildcard game.

It was a lock. The division and the home playoff game were clinched the week before vs. Miami.

[Surprise Bills ticket office SCREWS up]

Their entire business model seems based on selling all their tickets in the summer.

872094[/snapback]

This is true...don't live in the area anymore, so I can't rate the print/electronic media campaign, but you're right: the Bills seem to push tickets through training camp, and that's it.

 

Bob Lamb used to rail on the Forans when they ran the ticket operation (do they still?) and his accounts always brought a chuckle.

[Surprise Bills ticket office SCREWS up]

Just read the article, and only one word comes to mind: unacceptable. How in this computer-driven age can a will-call transaction take more than 2-3 minutes, at the most. And moving just 1700 tickets on game day results in this type of snafu? Please.

 

Maybe they should go back to selling tickets out of shoeboxes...I remember back in 1995, not really that long ago, the day before the Jets game, I went to the ticket office to pick up a few...the young lady proceeded to go and dig some tickets out of a shoebox.

[A few questions about attending Sundays game.]

BTW, nice avatar!

[Bills Have a 50/50 Chance to Make Playoffs!]

However, 2 of the 8 games involve the hapless Oakland Raiders in games that the Bills want Oakland to lose (if the Jets beat Miami, the Jets MUST beat Oakland for the Bills to stay alive).

871637[/snapback]

Don't understand how the Jets beating Oakland benefits the Bills...some crazy ninth level tiebreaker?

[Tim Horton's]

A couple of years ago I tried to pursue two franchises in

Tennessee and Southern Virginia. T. H. was just not interested.

Isn't that Krispy Kreme territory? They've closed a bunch of KK's up here in northern Virginia...there used to be one on Leesburg Pike in Bailey's Crossroads that I frequented frequently, but alas, that has gone the way of Carrols restaurants.

 

I know KK has had some financial difficulties in recent years, but I believe they're still king in the South.

Remember when Rich Products originally wanted to call the stadium "Coffee Rich Park"?

And I believe the deal back in 1973 with Rich was $1 million for twenty-five years! Which back then, was the norm.

[Who is the nimrod]

that every freakin' game, waves a huge yellow-neon rag WHEN THE BILLS are kicking a FG or EP?

 

Jeeziz, do it when the other guys are kicking, but do you really need to get on TV that bad that you need to wave that thing when our guys are kicking?

[The goal line stand at the end of the game]

I may be old school but I like the AFC East the way it is. I did not mind losing the Colts because they were not the Baltimore Colts.

870502[/snapback]

Amen to that, brother.

 

This rivalry goes beyond Kelly vs. Marino or Saban/Knox/Levy vs. Shula/Johnson. It’s our way of life vs. theirs…it’s Labatt drinking, blue collar, lunch-bucket-toting snow shovelers vs. sun-baked, Heineken drinking, stone crab chewing beach bums. There’s 20 straight games worth of payback to be dispensed and despite the Bills’ recent success vs. the Fish, 1988 on, I’ll still consider this a rivalry until the ghosts of Pat Twilley, Norm Bullach, and Jim Kiick are vanquished!

 

Oh, and that Mercury Morris non-fumble and the personal foul on Pat Toomey were complete bull#@$%&

[Tim Horton's]

Little bit of trivia...Tim Horton's was the model for Stan Mikita's in "Wayne's World."

[The goal line stand at the end of the game]

It PROVED to me that the rivalry is alive and well.

But Rock, wouldn't you have rather played Cincinnati yesterday? They're much closer than Miami...and they would be a better rival, and the Miami rivalry is dead, and...
