Thanks, John. I believe the Wall can breathe a collective sigh of relief that the Bills have been mentioned in a national forum in a positive manner. I can almost hear strains of "Koom-bye-yah". "Take Another Piece of My Heart" - Janis Joplin/Big Brother and the Holding Company

Look, mate, that's pretty damn lazy on your part. "Look it up". No, YOU look it up before you post this sort of yap. I know this will draw some sort of scintillatingly erudite response from you, and that's fine. Sometimes I like playing with fingerpaint, so go ahead. But just as a matter of board etiquette, don't do crap like that, okay? It's just as easy, or difficult, for you to engage in keystrokes PRIOR to your argument as it is for those who respond to your idiocy.

Oh, Lord. Here we are. The back up quarterback is always the most popular man in town. Until he $#!+s the bed next week. This is a faint, irritating glimmer of Flutie-Johnson. Get over it.

You're right, that's the comparison knocking around in my mind. But I thought Sanders was a tad bigger. Regardless, he wasn't a guy that would senselessly pound it up the gut. It's amazing what can happen when you make the first guy (and maybe the second guy) whiff on an arm tackle.

I was going to post something similar today. I see a note here on my table on which I scribbled a particular play. It was at 2:18 remaining in the half, Brohm completes to Roosevelt near the 50 yard line. It probably wasn't a game breaking play; in fact, it probably wasn't even notable. What I remember being impressed by at this moment, however, is that the offense: a) Looked like it was intent on drawing blood, and; b) DIDN'T look like it couldn't get out of its own way. The Bills will have a bad day on the field soon, and the Haters will be back on this forum whining as usual. But for a brief and shining moment, let me congratulate the coaching staff. This is like recovering from a bad relationship. You don't realize how truly awful it was until you make a change. My God, the former coaching staff was just abysmal. Go, Gailey, Go!

Well, I've not tried it, but I'll start looking. Malbecs are a blending wine (again, nothing you don't know). If you're drinking a Bordeaux - guess what - you're drinking a significant portion of Malbec. So those damn Argentinians have found a way to offer me a Bordeaux that is purchased with U.S. dollars against the Argentine peso, and have given me the same wine at 30% less. Damn them!

Ah, yes. He CAN be taught. Remember, I'm just looking out for ya. Palates only come around once in a lifetime. Screw 'em up once, and all you're drinking is Genny Cream Ale. Just sayin'.

You see, HE would understand a good Sauvignon Blanc. AND a decent Pinot.

But we suck! But we suck! But we suck! Oh, my world is falling apart!

Good planning. Save the Kiwi for the fresh shrimp. Fuggin' perfect. Open the Malbec very soon. The ribeye is going to be screaming for it in about 30 minutes. You know this. I know this. Succumb.

Geez, Dean, tough call. A Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc? That's their signature grape (I'm not telling you anything you don't know). But, with poor culinary accompaniment, it's probably not what I'd suggest for a Bills game, unless it's something like a champion Schuster 1998 (and there ain't a lot of those kicking around anymore). Open the Malbec and let it breath a little bit. Start with the whiskey if you wish. But roll towards the Malbec by the second quarter to avoid getting totally hammered and incoherent by the third quarter. Any Malbec you DON'T finish tonight is going to go GREAT with the ribeye you're going to have tomorrow night. Just looking out for ya. You know that.

150 over 96? THAT'S a Bills fan, I tell ya. Salmon coming off the grill in 20. Check. Malbec aerating. Check. Four Tops cranking. Check. CTV dialed in. Check. Just need the Bills to do their part.

An new optimist! I feel like Wall-E finding the seedling amongst the garbage. Better get your flameproof shorts on, kid. Let's see what tonight brings us. Demetrius Bell is playing, as is Wood. I just want these two to get through the carnage in one piece. If we get injuries there...watch out. And being up here on the border - oh boy! I get CTV! Let's see if this works!

So...this is goodbye then?

If Indianapolis hasn't done something to shore up their run defense, the Bills "reserve" running backs are going to look like the second coming of Jim Thorpe. Don't panic.

It was a mercy killing.

My goodness! I feel so "booed"!! 2008 Clos du Bois North Coast Chardonnay tonight. Meh. Not bad, but I can't complain - my sister left it up here after the vacation, so it tastes like Nectar of the Gods.

Mucho appreciado.

Northern Irish. Order of the Orange. I have the banner they left me. It meant something to my ancestors. Now I just enjoy Zweigle's.

Grilled Atlantic Salmon (on Kingsford charcoal with a touch of hickory thrown in), asparagus, Basmati rice and Gascon 2007 Malbec. Wind's coming in from the north tonight. Starting to have just a kiss of autumn in the air. "Carry On" - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

Okay. Sorry for being dick-ish.

To your credit, you're more succint than I am. Most apologetically, mine was a long-winded way of saying that I couldn't care less that the Vikings are better, or worse, or sideways, or dermatologically-compromised-or-enhanced with-or-without Brett "Fav-ruh". Get it? Go to "VikingsmusthaveFavre.com". I just did. There are already four pinned threads on the same topic. Post therein.

I'll make this as level-headed as I can. This is a Bills board. Brett Favre doesn't play for the Bills. Brett Favre plays for the Green Bay Packers New York Jets Minnesota Vikings, and pulls a drama queen act every year. There are other sites - such as "www.dramaqueen.com" where you'll find endless chat related to Brett Favre. The Bills are playing on TV tomorrow night. You know...the, er, "Buffalo Bills". Ring a bell? Let's get excited! "Sailing Shoes" - Robert Palmer

Uhh.....YEAH!! The 13-year-old kid who tells his pimply pot-smoking buddies that he got his rocks off with Mrs. Smith at the end of the street! Guess what? There's a line at Mrs. Smiths' house! And 13-year-olds are so discreet, the little dickens.... By the way, I'm elbowing my way to the front of that line, and praying for pimples. She must like 'em.
