May Day 10

We left, I admit it. Over the years, we usually leave once we determine the game has been decided (it is most often in the closing minute or so), other than some special occasions. We bust out to the car and get home. Kids, other responsibilities (Im also not the one who drives so it isn't entirely my choice). It has treated us very well and where we park and when we pull the chute, we never experience traffic. We left as Henry was rumbling toward the end zone. Game was over. Saying the Ravens had a 99% chance to win was under-selling it IMO. The Bills were beat. With about 11 minutes left, and the Bills seeming to be unable to stop anything, the Ravens would clearly be able to deflate plenty of clock and kill the rest of the game (if they didn't score more points). The Bills also seemed to have an allergy to throwing anything downfield and to wide receivers up until that point. Just sitting there watching the 4th quarter bleed away while Ravens fans hooted and hollared, only to sit in traffic until 12:30AM didnt sound fun. I regret leaving, but this is always the risk we take and in 20+ years of going to most home games, we have never chosen poorly. It was kind of a cool experience in the car on the way home, watching it on Fubo in the back seat, announcing they got the TD.... then everything changed for the fumble and we pulled over, everyone watched, and it was kind of a cool memory. Moving forward, we will probably re-think the threshold of leaving in a similar situation.

This is really over the top "We want our guys to celebrate with one another. That's the whole idea. I guess I didn't know you're not allowed to go close to the stands to do that without being attacked by a fan," Head Coach John Harbaugh said Monday. "I don't know how any of us would respond in that moment. I think it'd be something, we'd probably be thinking about protecting ourselves." Another fan also threw a drink at Henry as he went into the end zone on his 46-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. "You score a touchdown, you probably shouldn't have a frozen water bottle thrown at you either," Harbaugh said. Wow, what a vicious "attack" from that fan. Players probably need therapy after that. Also, I didnt know the 58 degree weather was cold enough to freeze water bottles. I have always liked Harbough but never realized that he is such a baby. The fan was stupid, and a little heavy handed with his helmet slaps, sure. He is getting made into an example. Fine. It was not an assault and nobody was in danger (until Jackson went a bit over the top there, actually).

I heard he was kicked out. Jackson should be fined though. I don't really blame him doing what he did, but the NFL cannot sanction a player aggressively putting his hands on a fan, even if provoked like that. There is a fine line between that and a player action that seriously injures someone. There needs to be some sort of deterrent.... and that kind of fine won't harm Jackson's bank account.

It wasnt just a pat on the head. He pushed Jackson's head back in an aggressive manor. I cant blame Jackson for that reaction, although he is better off restraining himself.

I think its "The Prater Game"

We got a scoragami too

Thats so awesome for prater. Probably thought he was done and ends up with a great night, getting possibly the highlight of his career, and the game ball

Illiterate people need to resort to lashing out violently

I just tried to look at 2 Ravens forums and they are both crashing

Dick jauron apparently stopped coaching the bills in the 4th quarter

San diego looks scary

I agree that I don't loathe Tom Brady any more now that he has stopped hurting me. I wish I would have enjoyed Michael Jordan more back in the 90s. I couldnt stand the front running kids who would wear air jordans and had all sorts of Bulls/Jordan posters in their lockers and stuff. I rooted against him and hated the NBA.

Note Dame's schedule is laughable. Don't play anyone currently better than #19. Next hardest is #25 Boise State, both at home... then nobody. 7 home games, 4 away games. Hiding from a conference championship. They have patsy rivalry games like navy, Purdue, and Stanford. And even if they lose another game, im sure they will be placed in the tournament anyway

Just an amazing game all around. Both teams looked really solid, that cj carr is a gamer. Miami got a little jauron-itis in the 4th quarter but survived it. Im not a fan of either team. But man. August 31st football, put that in my veins.

Its out and they are awesome. The frosty accents are really cool

Those guys really like Buffalo this year.

Looks like a Carolina uniform. Those all look kind of terrible but the 49ers may be redeemable

Andy Reid and Chris Jones.

Andreesen kind of stinks. Id rather have Dolac

The 15 years thing skews this exercise. Im old now I guess, but 15 years isnt that long ago. Basically encapsulates the entire Sabres drought and all history prior to that is wiped out. It should ask how old you are and takes every season from your age of, maybe 8-on. Near-misses should also be a pretty large hit. 13-Seconds, Music City Miracle, and Wide Right are borderline traumatic. The Sabres have some tough losses, as do the Indians (my third team). A championship within the last decade should pretty much reset the score for that team to zero. I have the Sabres, Bills, and Indians/Guardians and scored an 88. I would say that is a pretty tough combination of teams... but the Bills' recent "success" taking up almost half of the 15 year window erases the drought, Superbowl heartbreak, and all that.

No fan is above the rest. Maybe celebrity fans who are from the area or who have embraced the team and advocate for the Bills. Del Reid, Pancho, Elvis, Pinto Ron, the chefs, etc. No better than the rest and no hall of fame necessary. I see there is a Bills cruise "featuring" this Del Reid to be on it. Is there anyone who would be excited for that "opportunity"? I couldnt pick that guy out of a lineup of 2 people. I sat through some abhorrent weather when the team was in the midst of a playoff drought, mathematically eliminated from the playoffs just like everyone else.

There are like 7 billion people on this planet, yet they keep signing the exact same guy

I have been in the process of buying a tesla. It has been the easiest, most straight forward process I have experienced. Even my trade in value seems fair.

He runs like molasses (in comparison to nfl athletes), he is not physically at all, and is late to nearly every play. All it seems he can do is dive at a ball carrier's shins. But apparently he knows the defense and can be trusted. They really need to monitor the cut wire in attempt to improve the safety position. Not sure they could cut Hamlin at this point due to the state of the position group. Even if they added a safety.

Art was a great entertainer and a real talent on the radio. It was almost "appointment radio" back in the day. The bills and sabres were both good and you wanted to hear him air his grievance of the day in his "don't get me started" monologue. I can recite his entire show theme song. He was alone on the air, but carried the show so well and was entertaining, playing a character of himself. All of his little sayings, biases, banning the mentioning of Eric lindros, flipping out when a caller opened with "what's up?", describing himself as a 6' Robert Redford look-alike, playing an angry character... it was gold. Caller after caller would push his buttons and it was a top performance every day. Im bummed he passed away. I thought of him just the other day and couldn't believe he was still kicking. Just another piece of my younger life gone forever. OttawaOttawaOttawa, smilin Jerry meehan, tagliabooboo, waitaminute waitaminute waitaminute waitaminute,
