It's one big **** sandwich and we all have to take a bite... I should have waited to get the hat...rat bastards city council. Cropp just out to make a name for herself. Christ, I never heard of Cropp before this whole mess, and I live here. And Mayor Tony's lack of personal skills didn't help. Oh well...it was just too good to be true. Thanks for the coal in the stocking, Cropp!

The classic Honeymooners, where Ralph thinks he's bought Alice a very rare Japanese jewelry box...and it turns out a friend of hers gets her one from the dime store. The best part is at the end, Gleason and crew step out of character to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

I got a subscription to the "Jelly of the Month Club." It's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year long.

What, no Charlotte Barbie? I'll take a lame stab: "This Barbie can only be bought in the gift store of the Spirit of Ontario, so it is very unlikely you'll find one. The Charlotte Barbie comes with an Abbotts Custard t-shirt and an LDR Char-Pit apron. The Charlotte Barbie comes with an 1979 rusted-out Dodge Duster, whose wheels are never in alignment after traveling the pot-hole-ridden minefield which is Lake Avenue."

The most recent telecasts, filled with more commercials of course, often omit the segment about elf practice, where all the elves practice their Christmas song...Elf leader: "And remember, it's for Santa." Also, in recent telecasts of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," the segment where Lucy pulls the football up from a place-kicking Charlie Brown, a Peanuts classic, has lost out to more commercials... I watch too much TV....

Have to also go with the 1989 opener in Miami, even though I was at the 1980 opener in Buffalo and the 1995 playoff game... Couple of years ago, my account of the 1989 game, sent to buffalobills.com, won me an autographed box of Kelly Krunch! BTW, is that still on the shelves in WNY or was it a one-time thing?

Do you still have your ticket stubs from the last Jeffs' game? And how would you compare the Edgeton Park fans with those at RWS?

Browns/Saints WR in the early '70s: Jubilee Dunbar Jets punt returner late '60s, early '70s: Mike Battle Hate to say it, but another Jet from the same era: Chris Farasopoulos

And don't forget making a stop on the last drive against the Jets in NJ...then we would be talking 8-3.

It's on my Christmas Wish List... A friend of mine has it, and sez it's a 'must have.' I have volumes I-IV on CD...I'm wondering what could be on Volume V? Hope Santa brings it so I can find out.

The march-on of Cadets and Midshipmen prior to the Army-Navy game. If this doesn't get you fired up, the pilot light is OUT!

Go Navy! Going to the Emerald (?) Bowl in San Francisco. They've have been a real joy to follow this year...good senior leadership and a plethora of teamwork on both sides of the ball. Sure it's not the Big Ten or SEC, but it's fun. Navy home games offer a great tailgating experience also. I suggest if anyone has the chance, get to a Navy homegame. Most importantly, Army is dead meat in two weeks.

No!!!!! Oh, the humanity... Near the end of the game Fox showed a crowd shot of the scoreboard end zone area, focusing on two guys in Maple Leafs jerseys. Jeeziz, don't these two dopes own a mirror...and don't they know the NHL is dead? And don't they know they're at a FOOTBALL game...and wasn't the Gray Cup yesterday as well? I could go on....

It's a joke. They don't show highlights from all games? Pathetic. Try to catch "This Week in Pro Football" on ESPN Classic...makes you pine for Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier, and the classy NFL Films music. I believe they're shown on Friday nights or early Saturday mornings....check your local listings. I taped one from 1973 with lots of good Juice highlights...great stuff.

Checked out their Pro Shop...jeez, I wish we had as much Throwback stuff available...that hoodie with a red standing buffalo would be sweet.

DirecTV Brother: How is the quality for the Houston Comeback game? I remember one time you saying it wasn't very good....thanks!

I was at the WWII Memorial in Washington this morning with a D-Day vet. Long-time family friend who came down from Rochester. At 11:00 AM, Taps was played and vets of the 82nd Airborne gathered at the European Theater section and saluted as an Army honor guard stood at attention. Days like this make me thank God to be an American....

It will happen. Mayor Tony has the votes. Cropp merely grandstanding. And this new "plan" of hers will crumble. Look for the Nationals to reveal season ticket plan information later today.

Got one on e-bay last year...with the blue facemask. They actually rolled that insignia out in 1974 and went with the blue facemask in '78 I believe.

Spurrier stayin' put

And the absolute worst, as I've said many times, is Jim "ALL RIGHT MI-A-MI!!!!!!!" Mandich. Like teeth down a blackboard....

It seems like the coffin-corner kick is a lost art in today's NFL...Moorman's punt was a real gem. But where was the coffin-corner kick on opening day vs. Jax when the Bills most needed it? Remember Jax started their winning drive from their 20 after a short middle-of-the-field punt. Why Moorman dropped that turd in the middle of the field sticks in my craw to this day, as if you can't tell.

Congratulations Dallas...you lost to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

"I was coming home on the subway...packed in like sardines we was. It was dark, no lights...hot, no fan...and I was pressed up against this 300 pound EYE-talian, half of which smelled like pure garlic."
