  1. The only ones that are going to be worth anything are the PSA (more reputable) or Beckett graded rookies / errors / rares. Everything else is junk. And if its from the 80s/90s it better be graded at least a 9 to be worth anything (most likely a 10). Since it is expensive to get it graded I wouldn't even try with anything damaged on the corners, off center, or bad print quality. Most likely, you are sitting on a bunch of junk that should be thrown away, burned, given to youngsters, because it ain't going to be worth squat. Thats what happens when they print millions of copies of the exact same card.
  2. Dude, they were a Brandon Cooks dropped TD pass away from being tied with 4 mins left. Yes, they barely lost the game. Jesus. And no, I don't think that even Bills fans would be running a 33 year old coach who took the team to the SB in his second season or a third year QB who has gotten better every year and took their team the SB. Come on now.
  3. I really wish my overrated coach and overrated QB got me to the SB and barely lost to the greatest of all time. SMH.
  4. I'll go if they get there for sure.
  5. Why wouldn't he love Buffalo? We gave him $25M ($41 if you count the $16 the Browns paid him on our contract). $41M, set for his entire life, for a mediocre at best performance. Could you imagine making $41M being "OK" at your job? I would even argue that he was flat out bad. $41M for being a bad performing employee. Yikes. I don't care how great of a person he is, that's crazy if you think about it. I would offer up that he held back a team of talented WR (Woods, Hogan, Goodwin, Watkins actually looks like a pretty darn good WR corp these days) with a talented RB and a pretty good OLine. He didn't break the drought, he held us back from being a real threat.
  6. I'm typically upset / in a bad mood for my drive home from watching the game at my brothers and then am fine by the time I get home.
  7. Just my opinion, but I've always regarded KISS as being one of the most overrated bands ever. I often wonder if they didn't have their stage show, would they be any where near as famous based on their music alone?
  8. ....until the Pharma companies set to lose billions of dollars because their treatments and prescriptions are no longer needed, squash it to keep their pockets full with dying people's money. Cynical, yes. A real possibility, also yes.
  9. Had a girl tell me that if you drink one beer you are legally too drunk to drive. After she refused to budge on such a stupid statement I actually told her, "it's OK to leave now."
  10. So he's too chicken s*** to just wear the t-shirt, but just shows a very small slice of it and I'm supposed to be impressed by how "legendary" he is. Looks more like a guy who's pretending to be edgy but too scared to actually do it.
  11. Saw a -25 (roughly) on a bank sign that showed temps one time in either Ohio or Indiana, can't remember. Add another 10-20 on top of that for the wind chill. Also saw a 104 (roughly) in an Indiana summer. And no, it was not a "dry heat".
  12. Once went on a date with someone who was allergic to wheat (a while ago, may have been something similar if not wheat). Said she couldn't even drink beer. That was enough for me to never call her again. I felt like Seinfeld, finding any excuse to not date someone.
  13. Dryden was in my fraternity, well before my time though, I'm a 2002 grad. Lacrosse also lost the national championship recently, in 2009. Sad story, my friends boyfriend was killed during a game in 2003 (maybe 2004). Took a ball to the chest and suffered cardiac arrest. She was destroyed.
  14. Big Red Bears alumni here. We always choke though with hockey and lacrosse. Probably because I'm a fan and my teams never win anything.
  15. Frank Robinson pops in my mind.
  16. I think you are underrating the value of an extra roster spot. I believe that contact limits are only applicable during the off-season.
  17. What, do you think Pegula doesn't pay for money in the cap? I don't get it. Finally, someone thought of something that makes sense. In the original thread about him re-signing I didn't see anyone mention this and could not figure out the benefit of having him as a player. This makes sense. Cut him later and make him a coach to free up that spot. I can be on board with that.
  18. Saving Private Ryan. The Great Escape. Full Metal Jacket.
  19. Luke Skywalker is a whiny little B*
  20. Immediate loss of respect for the vertical video.
  21. Are we really talking about drafting a guy who was only the third leading rusher on his college team (and worse YPC than the other 2 as well) in the first round? Really? Seriously? I don't care how good he supposedly is, if he was that good he would have led his team in rushing or at worst be a close second. I mean, this is no Thurman and Barry situation.
  22. Trial by "a jury of your peers" is stupid. We expect all people to be able to interpret and apply rules of law (including the ones of below average intelligence), yet you have to go to undergrad, law school, and pass the bar exam to be able to practice law, but any Joe Schmo can be put on a jury to interpret and apply complicated nuances of law that could lead to you being put in jail. Not good, not good at all. Political parties should be banned. As George Washington so gracefully predicted in his farewell address regarding them: "All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests. However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
  23. Actually, I would go so far as to say a prudent exec doesn't drink at all with their employees, maybe one or two at the most so they don't seem like pretentious jerks, but that's all.
  24. It was a very high risk, high reward kind of defense. Top 10 in takeaways, number 2 in sacks....but a ton of yards to go with it.
