I'm going to go right ahead and boycott ESPN football coverage if they cut you out of it.

Haha, I read my post and realized what a tool I sounded like. Whaddayagonnado though?

Neither, Mr. Graham, and DrDank's simplification of the personalities in the Buffalo sports media is really off base. I'm a Cornell student aiming for a job in the sports media, and I just wanted to tell you that I'm a really big fan of your work. If it seems like I'm kissing a*s, well, yes I am.

Zing.

When it comes to physically looking like an ape, nobody can beat Bobby Abreu. And no, I don't believe any of this is racist. Just observational.

And what exactly is wrong with these foreigners? Personally, I've relished every opportunity I've had to spend outside the US.

Did I say I was better than religious people? No. In fact, I acknowledged that religion, when interpreted the correct way, can be a very good thing. I am, on the other hand, more enlightened than people who interpret their religion to mean that all other peoples of the world should rot in eternal fire and brimstone.

Well, I'm ready to condemn all religion, including Islam. All religious debate essentially boils down to "My imaginary friend is the only REAL imaginary friend." Yes, I suppose it gives comfort to some people and there are folks out there who have been motivated by their religion to do amazing things. On the other hand, it has caused A LOT more divisiveness than it has caused good. There are Muslim people who think all Christians and Jews should die. There are Christians who believe all Muslims and Jews should die. There are Jews who believe all Christians and Muslims should die. At it's core, it is nothing more than a vicious cycle of hatred. Religion, throughout history, has been the largest factor separating the cultures of the world from unity. How could you consider it a good thing. Here's what I believe; Anybody who considers themselves superior to another race because they believe in the correct "God" is a freaking idiot. Anybody who categorizes an entire group of people as animals (I'm looking at you BuffalOhio) is a hate-mongering asshat who wouldn't get into heaven. If it existed.

If you want to see the animal, look in the mirror. Read the Old Testament of the Bible. If you're not a hypocrite, you'll call Christians animals too.

We're all so glad that you decided to start another Lynch thread, and with such brilliant insight too. Simon says...

Anybody who equates the Nazi Party with the entire Muslim religion isn't worth debating with. You say "Muslim support" as if it's a bad thing. They're human beings. 99% of them are probably good, decent human beings, just like most people in the world. You treat the situation as if Muslims in general are some rogue barbarian people.

No problemo, amigo. I'll admit, even with the bum knee, I'm probably here more than I should be, being a student and all. I just loves my sports talk.

I tore my ACL, so I've been doing a lot more staring at a computer screen than I normally would. And I don't suppose my girlfriend would like it very much if I saw "plenty". I was just messing around, man.

Cuz you don't get to see enough vaginas in real life?

I think most people are missing the point here... Since when does anybody give a flying flip about what's printed in the Post?

More addictive than freakin crack.

A big old, fat old +1 from me. I completely turned my attention to the Sabres once the Superbowl ended. I honestly didn't even really think about the Bills until the Marshawn incident. I'm going to tune in for the draft, read draft analysis for a week, then tune back out. Once the pre-season starts, I'll be right back into Bills mode. No sense crying during the offseason, when there is an equally exciting Buffalo sport going on.

See how many of the famous firsts you can name, without looking them up. http://www.sporcle.com/games/famousfirsts.php I got 25 out of 40

You almost had me until you got to Lynch. Do you even watch the games? I almost guarantee you're the first person to ever refer to Lynch as a "yawner".

Bush made me touch him with a bad touch.

No, Jesus actually went to Stanford. He wore gloves.

Come on, the guy had 110 tackles in what was essentially his rookie season. Overrated? Perhaps. Absolute crap? No way. He was an average starting MLB for us, not a piece of crap. The term "bust" is thrown around too lightly here. It seems like a lot of people define "bust" as simply not being in the upper eschelon of starters at a given position.

Nope, can't slam you for this. I tend to be the eternal optimist type, but the organization simply hasn't given me a reason to have faith in the team. I'm not one of those people that will rant about how we're destined to never be a winner (teams can turn it around pretty quick), but things are certainly not looking up at the moment.

http://sports.espn.go.com/highschool/rise/...tory?id=3914375 Now there's a coach (and a player) that understands the meaning of sportsmanship.

Only because the OP introduced religion in the first place! He was clearly using the story as a vehicle to belittle the Muslim faith and stereotype its followers as barbarians. If the thread had been introduced as "Buffalo citizen beheads wife", nobody would have had a problem.
