Ned Flanders

I doubt anything happens to this windbag...he's as close to a "god" as anyone can be around here...he is right under Joe Gibbs. The local media clowns love this guy, especially Tony Korhheiser and dope George Michael, always referring to him as simply "Gary." "Gary said this, Gary did that," etc, kinda like he's a one-named celebrity, ala Madonna. I would be very suprised if this "incident" made any hay.

Pittsburgh ('92 playoffs): Spit at by some unemployed steel worker...that was it. After the Bills win, fans wished us luck. Jets, Meadowlands: Nary a peep. Baltimore: Last year...Bills fell behind early and wasn't bothered. Washington (Fed-up Field and RFK): No hassles. Cleveland ('89 playoffs): Almost as many Bills as Browns fans...was in the middle of a Bills crowd...even had Genny Beer on tap, felt like I was home.

It is most definately worth the short drive from Baltimore...the trick is finding a designated driver for the ride home

Partial to USNA and Annapolis...small, 30K, but great tailgate environment, the March-On of Midshipmen, and after-the-game pubs of Annapolis, all make for a great Saturday.

Here in DC, Metro stations are being watched very carefully...security stepped up in stations around the White House, i.e. Farragut West.

They should of had some device hooked up that would had him waving a Terrible Towel...sorta like the Santa Claus that wouldn't stop waving his arm from a Christmas episode of "Happy Days."

"Christ, Kassulke was running around there like a Chinese fire drill..." Stram: "Mr. Official, how can six of you miss a call like that?" Ref: "Better step back coach, or I'll call one for you being on the field." Stram: "Whaa....WHAT?"

Ummm....didn't the Kids Day sell out last year?

One of the greatest quotes of alltime: John Riggins, while drunk and sprawled out on the floor, at a dinner in Washington, to Sandra Day O'C, 1985: "Loosen up, Sandy baby, you're too tight."

My ticket to the home opener at Rich in 1973 was $7.00...it was a mid-range ticket, as I believe the prices were $9 for lower bowl between the 20s, $7 for upperdeck and upper end zones, and $5 for lower end zones... The real question is, what was Hammer charging to park the Dodge Duster in '73?

Rochester's own, Mitch Miller.

Don't know if this has been covered, but I heard for the first time yesterday on WTEM in DC that ESPN Primetime will cease to exist once the new TV deal goes into effect in 2006. The reason is, is that NBC will now have the Sunday night games and part of the deal is that ESPN, or any other network, cannot show highlights until 11:00 PM Eastern. Whether NBC will put together a highlights show has yet to be determined. I found this news a little sad, as I've gotten use to the Boomer and Tommy show...unlike the lame pregame shows on all networks, I thought Primetime broke down the games pretty well...it was a good show and I'll miss the "Nobody circles the wagons..." intros by Berman. Again, if this has already been debated, I apologize.

I layed in bed last night wondering, what's going to happen to the turtles?

15 is an interesting ride...there's usually contruction somewhere along it slowing things up for a bit. There's a stretch where it seems like there's a McD's every 5 miles, and every 10 miles or so there's at least porn and/or fireworks shop...been to some of the McD's, not to any of the other two. 363775[/snapback] And don't forget Clyde Peeling's Reptile Land...after dozens of trips from DC to Rochester, I finally stopped to check it out. It was in November, so it was pretty much deserted, but they have any interesting collection of BIG snakes, gators, and crocs.

Are you kidding? They may find time in those three minutes between Summer Camp With the Jaguars and the 2003 AFC Championship Game...but good luck finding, oh, twenty minutes, devoted to the June 4th event. NFL Network = RJ

Jeeziz, you're right in my old stomping grounds...grew up on Beach Avenue in Charlotte.

Still waiting for the Throwback unveiling at RWS on June 4th "Tonight on NFL Network: Training camp with the Baltimore Ravens, followed by Patriots vs. Steelers in the 2004 AFC championship game, followed by 'In Their Own Words,' tonight Troy Aikman."

Very nice...but a 3XL? Jeeziz, even R Rich would be swimming in that thing!

Maybe after the throwback sales are counted? And wasn't there an article a couple of years back that said the Buffalo area was third, behind GB and KC in homes that contained some sort of team merchandise? NFL stuff $

Bills proshop Hello credit card limit!

It's a waste in the fact that they have the entire vault of NFL Films at their fingertips and play the same crap over, and over, and over.... Training Camp with the Ravens? New England vs. Indy in the 2003 AFC Championship Game? "In Their Own Words?" This stuff is played more than "Law and Order!" I get more vintage NFL Films play on ESPN Classic...NFL Network = RJ

NFL Europe is on! Jeeziz, even the Bills are promoting the show on their web site...I guess NFL-N will have to squeeze it in between Summer Camp with the Jaguars and another Patriots Super Bowl highlight show... NFL Network is a waste.

Garage Door? Is that still there?!? Used to follow up a visit there with a journey across the street to Country Sweet or just down E. Ridge to Harry's Hots...jeeziz, that was 25 years ago...

Anybody hear if there will be customized jerseys available, either through the Bills or NFL Shop? I wouldn't mind a Kemp, Lamonica, or Cookie version.
