thx. I'll set the DVR for it.

Same thing here in the Washington DC area. Had the game on, it was 4th and 1, and the screen went black. Called DirecTV. The guy couldn't explain what happened, but said he'd shave $5 a month off my bill for the next six months. I would have preferred seeing the ending, but I'll take the $30.

I think that just goes to show that Flutie is much more plugged in to the benefits of good PR tactics than Drew. After all, we had Flutie Flakes and not Bledsoe Bran Flakes. I guess if I had to choose, I'd say I enjoyed watching Flutie a lot more than I did watching Bledsoe. Nonethless, it's good to hear him say good things about B-lo. And I took a double take when I saw your closing, because that's how I end most emails. Cheers, Chris

Bingo, that's all I want from an announcer.

I just wonder why the guy is wearing a slug shirt. If he can afford season tickets, you'd think he could afford a new shirt, for Pete's sake. After all, it's not like the slug is a beloved part of Sabres' history.

I remember that game, although I had to give up my ticket because I had a big exam the following day. My girlfriend kept talking about what a great game it was. In fact she talked about it so much that I gave her the heave-ho 'cause I couldn't stand it any more.

Great finish to that game. As I recall, they had a "decent" OL back in those days.

Superbowl XXVII, when Don Beebe came out of nowhere and chased down that fat pig Leon Lett (who was too busy showboating to pay attention to what was happening behind him) to prevent that fat f'ing Dallas pig from scoring on a fumble recorvery.

I'm a homer, so my guess is Bills 21, Raiders 20.

no problems w/directv, but my internet connect sucks today

I live about 2 miles from Jimmy'a Old Town Tavern and had no problems at all until a thunderstorm rolled in about 3:45. Fortunately, the game was not in doubt at the point and the signal came back in a few minutes.

You are correct. He's paid to offer his opinions. But might I suggest that his opinions should be based on the facts. He never acknowledged the fact the bills tried to improve their defense or that perhaps the offense might be improved this year.

Sully says he might have underestimated the team "just a tad." Well it goes to show that his negative schtick is just an act and that he is incapable of providing a realistic estimation of the team. It has become a cliche that when Sully writes about the Bills, it will be negative. He hasn't shown any ability to be a disinerested observer. He's a one-trick pony who can only say the glass is half empty. I guess his act serves a purpose, but that purpose isn't providing fans with useful information. I don't profess to know how the Bills season will end up, but I can acknowledge that the team has made improvements and will be entertaining this season.

As far as I can tell, his specialty is high school basketball. He apparently likes to watch boys in short pants.

But how will he explain his prediction (on the BN video page) that KC would win 20-13?

For what it's worth, I just watched the BN's video prediction clip. Sully picked the Chiefs 20-13. I wonder how he's going to spin that prediction.

Good post. A lot of good souls and fine people were taken from us because of that day. Let's not forget to say a prayer, or spend a few moments in silent reflection, today.

Oh, I recognize jokes. Jokes are funny.

Sorry you can't pronounce his name, but what does his name have to do with his opinion. I guess I'd take you more seriously if I thought you had a functioning brain.

I think the rest of the league has already been making progress in figuring out the Colts (even with Manning). If he's out indefinitely, doesn't that conceivably put the Colts in the running for the Andrew Luck sweepstakes? Oh, the irony.

Bingo!

I'm not questioning his accuracy. I asked him what his job is. After all. we know what JW's job is. I also know how to spell his name. It's W-A-W-R-O-W. It's only six letters. It's not that difficult.

Sorry you can't provide your name. But please enlighten us -- give us the "post credible information" about your job (whatever that means).

This thread has been amusing, kind of like watching a cat fight in the high school cafeteria between two cheerleaders vying for the attention of the star quarterback. But it has gotten boring and I'd like to respond to your question before I drift away. For starters, how about your real name and what you do? That way you and John Wawrow are on equal footing when it comes to integrity and credibility. And by the way, his name is spelled W-A-W-R-O-W. There are only six characters in the name. That really isn't too difficult to remember.
