Better late than never, I suppose.

I misread your post...when you said "McNally's last season" I read "last season"

Uh, pretty sure O'Hara and Snee were starting for the Giants last year.

The sad thing is, that's true of almost every single "journalist" working for ESPN. It's all about speculation and sensationalism. Just yesterday, they reported on the front page of espn.com that Rafael Furcal had signed for 4 years and 40 millions dollars with the Braves. Oops, they were wrong. He signed for 3 years and 30 million with the Dodgers. But it doesn't matter if they're wrong, because they pretty much represent a monopoly in the sports journalism world.

I love how people can actually turn a high completion percentage into a negative. This board is getting ridiculous.

In either case, the guy did the right thing here. If you've got peoples' lives in your hands and you don't feel confident, it's best to not go for it. If anything, it's the airline's fault for not reading the weather report and sending the guy up in the first place.

More like... 3-2-1... Cue the Trent haters

That's because Trent didn't completely fall on his face like Beck. You're honestly going to compare the two?

Nothing. Nothing is wrong with it.

I realize we should've gone with Haloti Ngata, but you're really comparing Whitner with Williams in terms of making the wrong pick? He hasn't exactly been a highlight reel machine, but that's just unfair.

Cleveland the Jets, for sure. Just shameful, embarassing playcalling at the end of those games. Against San Fran and Miami, none of our players really showed up, and to me that falls on the HC as well...though its tough to call him "directly" responsible for those losses. My guess is that we are 9-5 with an average head coach.

Davinci Code blew as a movie. It's the only piece that I disliked Tom Hanks in.

So because they're losing they have to hate Jauron? The text didn't say "you're doing a great job as a coach", it said that he respects him.

Right on man, I'm with you. Well written post. Frankly I was surprised that you were met with any indignation at all. I can't stand this idea that optimistic fans are nothing but naive pollyannas. I'm only 19 years old and I don't want the opportunity to be a lifelong Bills fan stolen from me by those who want to move the team.

I love how most Africans probably think the Bills and Vikings are the two greatest franchises in the history of the NFL. And yes, I realize most Africans don't know what the NFL is, but I choose to ignore this fact for the sake of the comedic value of the situation.

What I find hard to believe is that Belichick's rating is only at 72. Don't get me wrong, I hate him as much as the next guy around here...but as a NE* fan, how much more could you want out of this guy. 4 superbowl appearances in the decade, and he will probably make the playoffs with a QB who hasn't started since high school, and he has haters? Wow.

After the Buster Douglas fight, Mike had one of my favorite quotes of all time. A reporter asked him if he had prepared himself with a plan of attack. Mike said "Everyone has a plan 'til they get punched in the mouth". I'm sure he didn't mean it metaphorically, but it's such a true statement.

I don't trust pre-season stats as far as I can throw them. And I should let you know I can't throw stats very far at all.

Can't somebody be high character and intimidating? John Lynch is the first name to come to mind.

Yeah, because popular means good. I'm not saying Rogan is a particularly funny comedian, but Mencia is a joke-stealing piece of sh*t. I realize jokes have been ripped off before, but basically the entire comedian community has risen against Mencia. You don't see that too often. Musicians get sued for stealing guitar riffs, why shouldn't Mencia face some kind of justice for stealing jokes?

Mencia just flat out blows. Stop Carlos Mencia! http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1892552

You play to win the game.

I can see the future in my crystal ball. The Bills start Hamdan this week. He lights up the scoreboard against the NFL's worst defense. He has an average day against New England. A QB controversy is born. That said, I can't stand the thought of JP getting another start.

This actually isn't uncommon. Athletes who stop competing usually maintain their high calorie diets out of habit, and this is the result. Anybody who's seen Tony Gwynn lately knows what I'm talking about.

StupidNation living up to the billing of his handle yet again. It was Spears, not Ware. I know other people corrected SN before me, but I just wanted to drive the point home.
