I was thinking the same thing, it's Dennis Weaver.

Christ, this is a 5-11 team...we need Marv to "warn" us of the fact that we have a loooong way to go before even smelling the playoffs?

I read the article twice to see if I missed something...nope.
Jeeziz, why is it always "us against them" when it comes to Bills coverage, refs, the cap, taking fried bologna off the RWS menu, etc, etc....
Granted we've had our share of "just give it to 'em(s)." But cripes, why is everything "WE GET NO RESPECT."
Calgon, take me away....

The game I most remember him calling was game six of the 1975 World Series...a true classic.

The Sporting News has fallen far since I began subscribing in 1989. Used to be I'd read S.I. for the features, then get the NEWS from TSN. No more - by pandering to the masses with glossy paper, more photos and dumbed-down content, it's become a pale shadow of what it once was. I'm seriously considering letting my sub lapse.
S.I.: as previously noted, it consistently boasts some of the finest sportswriting in the country. I couldn't care less about baseball... unless I see Tom Verducci's name on the byline. Ditto for Jack McCallum and the NBA, and I'll read just about anything written by Gary Smith or S.L. Price. Can't pass up Dr. Z, of course.
I really like Steve Rushin...I think he's the best part of SI...and everytime I start to think of letting the subscription run out, they do a photo spread like a couple of weeks ago, when they did a two-pager on the pond hockey tournament...I musta gawked at that pic for a good twenty minutes.
Sporting News I let run out when they started to feature NASCAR. If NASCAR's a sport, so is driving to work.

Local food critic Tom Sietsema in the Washington Post always raves about Jimmy Cantler’s Riverside Inn in Annapolis...never been there, but Sietsema is usually dead-on in his reviews.

Question, if this is on her official public site and not on her campaign site, how does it specifically violate the rules of this group. It is not campaign related and if deemed so would infact be a violation of House rules, let alone this site? Unless you are stating that it falls under soliciting support for a members position? Just a question, not a judgement as to the arguement>
Well, don't you think it's a "political" message? (I know, I know....EVERYTHING these clowns do is a political message)
I think it's clear, no matter how well-disguised, this type of message belongs on the DCCC site...not the Member's official web page.

Don't know what Lonsberry's beef was, but Slaughter's rant seems very political in nature and thus, in violation of the House rules. If this was on her campaign site, so what...but it's on the taxpayer-funded .gov official site.

I'm partial to Eagle fans...they talk a big game and strut like they've actually won something, but the only thing they got going for them is Mama McNabb. They are the worst in all of sport.

Hey Fez, caught this on the Rochester D and C site
HDTV falters
Fans watching the Super Bowl on Time Warner Cable's high-definition service lost the signal for about 40 minutes Sunday night. The signal failed about 6:55 p.m. and was restored about 7:35 p.m., said Brian Wirth of Time Warner.
I've lost my DTV signal for about 40 minutes also...not last night, but TOTAL for the six years I've been a subscriber...

Lobby firms and trade associations. Any decent firm or organization in this town, and there are alot of them, doesn't think twice about coughing up this amount for tix.
BUT, if some of the new lobby rules go into effect, i.e. no entertainment for congressional members and staff, you will soon see these tickets go unsold...it would not be worth it for the big firms to buy season tickets anymore.

"...Dick Jauron's nowhere-to-go-but-up Bills."
Cripes, I guess that's one way of looking at it...

Anyways, FWIW, here's my top five reasons you can't blame Scott Norwood for losing Super Bowl XXV:
5. The Bills abandoned the running game. Thurman was running wild, should have been the MVP, and should have been featured earlier in the game.
4. Lost chances. Due to Giant hits, Andre Reed suddenly afraid of going over the middle. Bruce does not swat the ball out of Hostetler’s paw in the end zone, resulting in a safety not a TD.
3. Mark Ingram’s (sp?) catch on third and forever. Kept a Giant TD drive alive as Ingram broke several tackles (most notably Shane Conlon). EDIT 2/6/06: I've since learned it was Talley and Odomes that whiffed on Ingram.
2. Marv Levy. Marv never had control of his troops when they invaded a Super Bowl city. Bills players have recently boasted of the partying in Tampa during the short Super Bowl week.
1. It was a loooooong FG attempt. On grass. 47 yards. Never known for a strong leg, the chances of Norwood making the kick were no more than 30 percent before the ball was even snapped.

OK, I know "senior people" too...and I'm not going to get into a pi$$ing match as to who knows more senior people...but I am told quite the opposite.
Does this guy come off as an Einstein? No. But this whole "Bush is an idiot" thing is getting a little out of hand...

Looking like the Skins at the Cowboys will be the Thanksgiving night game.
A number of media outlets are reporting the Cowboys and Redskins will play the first regular season game telecast on the two-year-old NFL Network. The game will be one of three played on Thanksgiving Day and will air in prime time, as an additional game is added to the holiday lineup. The game begins a new eight-game package that will air on NFL Network on Thursday and Saturday nights starting this fall.

That actually looks like it might be pretty good. Is it a repeat, and if so, have any of you seen it?
EDIT: I just noticed the poll on the page you linked to, "Greatest QB to never win a Super Bowl." The options are Peyton, Marino, and Tarkenton. Really surprised Kelly isn't on that list if for no other reason than to round out the number of choices...
No, it's the "world premier."
Yeah, I saw the poll too

That was Supe XXVII...how could that not have motivated the Bills in Supe XXVIII?!?!?!
Pork-Faced Satan: "That morning, I knew we were going to win, I just didn't know by how much."
What the F$%^*#...I guess it merely motivated the Bills for the first half...
-
Not quite, Bills scored first and LA followed up with the FG.
What I remember was listening to the radio the night before, waiting for the war dispatches from Iraq...for some reason, I thought something catostraphic was going to happen over there and I thought the game was going to be postponed...felt they way the whole drive up from DC on the Friday before the game, and the whole way to the stadium on Sunday.
Other than the football, I remember the USMA band marching off toward the tunnel end zone after the National Anthem...chills ran down my spine.

Skins getting 9 points is awfully tempting...I'm saying they cover the spread and lose by four.
Being in DC, maybe the over-blown hype has tainted the mind, but the Skins are peaking at exactly the right time...I look for them to give the SeaBags all they can handle.
-
I've said it before, the Monk issue is big here in DC and if the Skins had not gotten so far in the playoffs, it would be numero uno...
King has said time and again that he works to keep Monk outta the HOF as much as others work to get him in. His favorite story comes from when he was a beat writer at Newsday and all the Giants told him they feared Gary Clark more than Monk....hence he feels the 'second-best' receiver on a team shouldn't be the one going to Canton.

Oh, it's coming, maybe not this year, maybe not next...but it's coming.
First thing I notice about a hockey game on Classic is the clean, white boards and the playing surface being ad free. Cripes, look at the AHL...the rink, and the players, look like NASCAR vehicles.
Remember the Orange Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl? Now it's the "Insert Coroprate Name Here" Bowl. In fact, I believe next year, the Chik-Fil-A Peach Bowl will be just the Chik-Fil-A Bowl...the Georgia Peach will be nowhere to be found.
Cash-register hound Tagliabue and his ilk (Jones, Snyder, Kraft) will certainly spoil the fields, uniforms, and image of the NFL within our lifetime.
