I'll be on WBEN this morning at 8:20a discussing the Bills uniform unveiling...

Are looking for acceptance for being a menace to society for risking the lives of moms, dads, and kids a like because you are a selfish douchebag? You might want to look for approval elsewhere...

A guy speeding in his Porsche, after drinking at a bar, kills himself and a passenger at 3:00a in the morning and y'all are slappIng him on that back and telling him to rest in peace? He just killed someone and assuming a third party wasn't the cause of the accident, I can think of a better place for him to spend eternity and it isn't in peace.

I'm guessing it is leaking out the ear hole.

I would like to see bonuses be no more than 10-15% of the value of the 1st 5 years of the contract.

Just to make a clarifying comment (and I would like to thank JW because I think he read and understood my beef is with the arguments and not the smokers or the habit)... I don't belittle anyone's addiction, nor have I preached about any evils. My beef is with those making foolish arguments that are dismissive of MY experience. Ultimately, your lack of compassion for me (and other non-smokers) results in a lack of compassion for you and the wind is at my back on the issue. I also want to thank many of the ex-smokers who have shared their experiences on both sides of the issue. It is a shame more smokers don't take your words to heart.

Why don't you start a new thread with your totally separate concerns Bill? Then I can offer a response to that issue where it belongs.

I have a solution to asinine arguments put forth year after year... Offensive arguments so lacking in thought, logic, compassion, and the basic understanding of human anatomy that it can only be addressed with offensive replies... To anyone who has made the following arguments: being outside means smoking shouldn't bothersome to anyone smoking is just an unpleasant smell, much like the sight of an unattractive person Implication that your "right" or "freedom" to smoke supersedes another person's right/freedom to breathe reasonably clean air then I have the solution to come to a common understanding. You should be choked. Now, I don't mean choked to death, but you need to be choked. Here is how it would work: 1. Hand over $300 to start the process (this covers parking/food/entertainment) 2. The sensitivity administrator would put both hands around your neck and squeeze 3. Pressure on your neck would increase until you start to cough. 4. At that point, the pressure of the choke would be modulated so that subconscious breathing is no longer possible. Every breath requires thought. Every time you seek to breathe it is a conscious decision to attempt to oxygenate your blood. This will result in gasping, discomfort, watery eyes, headaches, nausea, and even holding your breath until you are forced to try and take in more air again. 5. This choke hold will be maintained for 4 hours. 6. While the choke is being applied, the sensitivity administrator will repeatedly say things to you like "we're outside, stop complaining, you can breathe", "Is this what it is like to see an overweight person?", "our military men and women choose to die for the right for me to choke you...", "Difficulty breathing isn't your issue, it is my drinking you should be worried about". 7. After 4 hours, the person being choked will be asked if they enjoyed their day.... I think that would help us all get on the same page.

Thank you for proving nicotine causes retardation. This post is clearly unassailable proof.

They could easily make beer $2 a cup and nachos a $1.50 too... but they ain't letting people go out to eat/drink at halftime and come back in. I would be shocked if a single NFL team re-entry.

I've seen a few baseball/hockey arenas doing a quick search. No NFL stadiums so far. Some college football, but all the articles pointed to eliminating the practice.

Hey Bill, just drop it because you have NO argument. The argument is that I can't breathe. It really isn't that hard of a concept. The smoke from YOUR cigarette goes into MY lungs and disrupts the normal breathing process. There is nothing you can say to that. Nothing. That is what happens. If an intoxicated person held me down and poured beer into my mouth and every 15 seconds - yes I would feel affected. I don't give a who smokes. The smoking areas at the stadium were fine by me, save for those who broke the rules and smoked in the seats. My parents smoked (both have cancer) and some of my best friends on the board smoke. I love them all. But for the LOVE OF GOD smokers need to drop their asinine arguments about their smoking not affecting other people and trying to make comparisons to other situations. I swear nicotine is the leading cause of retardation in this country. I have never heard of such a thing... until now!

I'm for public stoning for anyone who tells me your cigarette does not affect me because we are outside. There isn't a more asinine argument in the world. You don't even want to know what I propose after the stoning for those who make your second argument. Good Lord, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

1. The ban is really a way to crack down on those who smoke in their seats. Having an area to smoke in is tacit approval to smoke in their facility, so those who are rule benders are only slightly bending the old rule. By banning smoking, you are putting more teeth into the policy and making it easier on security. 2. The tailgate hour limits is a bigger deal and will push STHs to the private lots surrounding the stadium. I wish I would have made Judman's point and also pointed out that those who abide by the new tailgate rule means all those cars will be pushed into higher congested times, making it worse. I know there are hand stamps for this, but that is a security nightmare when people are drinking. No where else can you leave a stadium and come back in. I could have made a better point on the security issue.

I'll be on WBEN at 8:20a talking about this....

Jerry Maguire. That movie was a one liner machine.

We should draft any player NE may want until they are forced to fold for not fielding a team.

Time to start mining the small schools...
