well if you're that convinced, do the smart thing and find somone to lay you the 3 points so you can at least enjoy it (like i did yesterday).

he sure as hell was.

i don't think the refs were biased at all in that game.

you know, i love the sabres, and there is no team in WORLD that i hate worse than the flyers....and even i don't like watching that.

kind of like how cowart was such a huge stud his 2nd year back from a torn achilles? man, i wish i agreed with you on this one....and i hope i'm wrong. but i think we've seen tko's best already.

look steven...i give you points on this one for thinking and creativity...and i know you're not an idiot. i still remember the year you were the only one on this board who, in november, thought the jets would win the division, and every single other person told you you were nuts...kind of like we all are now. and then then the jets freaking won. but this...this is really a reach.

baseball killed itself by allowing competitive inequity to occur the small and large markets. the nfl creatred a set of rules (slary cap) that leveled the playing field. that's a lot different from micromanaging the games themselves.

as popular as the nfl is...with the microscope these guys are under...with 1,000,001 uncontrollable variables going down on each and every play that could conceivably affect the outcome? you really think the nfl would kill the golden goose by pissing around with outcomes of games when it has so may rabid fans and makes millions and billions of dollars each year no matter WHO is in the playoffs? if the 12 smallest markets in the league made it to the playoffs every year, and 2 smallest played for the title, they would still make obscene amounts of money. there is no need to mess with that. every once in awhile a post comes along that is so non-sensical that it reminds me i really need to get back to work...thanks.

he was suspended for williams' final game. he was bickering with the coaches.

cmon. please tell me you're joking.

which <ahem>, quite frankly, he was, not long ago. they guy is actually a pretty good newspaper writer. but somewhere along the line he tried to reinvent himself as a poor lazy man's ralph wiley. he actually toned it down for that show, i thought, but he already had become such a charicature of himself it was unwatchable.

jz...you would clearly be the punter, no?

yes it would make me happy...but then, drafting mike williams made me happy. i love you guys who go to the trouble of dredging up all this draft stuff, but i just have to shrug my shoulders at it all till the guys get here and start playing. however, i have to say a NINETEEN YEAR OLD who is a dominating d-1 player is very tanatalizing indeed. i coach 19-22 year olds, and about 100% of them are twice the athlete at 22 than they were at age 19. how much better COULD he be in the 3 years? it seems like a no-brainer, but then again, mike williams. marv, please figure it out, would you?

the word is "buffoon."

first of all, the bears should be thanking their lucky stars, because they were a huge favorite and they almost choked up a home playoff game to a team they clobbered in october...their reaction to the win reflected the fact that it should never have come to that. the patriots travelled 3000 miles to upset the "best" team on their own field with a heroic 4th quarter comeback...you don't think that's a little different? second...you have NO IDEA who, out of 53 guys on the bears was doing what, or saying what to whom from your living room! do you think that tiny little pacth of tv screen you see is refelective of everything that's happening on the field? and if you honestly think the guys on our roster are saints and are such paragons of moral character that they'd never gloat after a win, then your head is so far in the sand i surely am wasting my time discussing this issue with you. have a great day, and go sabres!

it's called being a 21st century pro jock, and i got news for ya...the bills have plenty of them too. if you're gonna pick your teams for "character," you better be into the ivy league.

business is business, my friend...and i've paid my dues over the past 35+ years as a bills fan so don't tell me how to enjoy a non-bills game.

whatever! what the hell is this "class" you speak of, and how the hell can you tell who has it and who doesn't from your living room?! if the bills had wandered into SD yesterday with a 9-7 record and eked out a win under those same circumstances, i wouldn't care if all 53 players, coaches, and marv effin' levy himself were yelling and dancing in the middle of the field. it's not like they were screaming into the tv cameras they were going to eat LTs children. the sour grapes here regarding a game that means ZERO to the bills is astonishing. i hate new england too, but some of you guys pretend the chargers are the bills, somehow. i don't get it. screw their overrated asses! haha rivers, LT, merriman, marty...you GOT BEAT. see you next season. please tell me what team wouldn't have been dancing and yelling after that win yesterday? NO TEAM, that's who! sheesh.

as i have said, it is a lot easier to enjoy watching them when you are nowhere near their fans and are making correct predictions on their games...i saw the line for next week and i see a couple more free benjamins in my future. this will be an easier win than yesterday.

cute little redneck skank, it is.

how didn't he die?

i almost forgot he wason the bears roster. how come he didn't get called for holding today? what? no false starts? and now he is one win from the super bowl? i thought he was washed up! what the hell is going on here? i gotta be honest: i didn't see this in his future when he left buffalo.

much ado about nothing. fans or players...who the hell cares who dances where?

it was in 1985, iirc....a jets game...and they never did it again because everyone bitched that the game was boring with no announcers. go figure. it was an interesting broadcast, though.

i am on it hard, since i used to have marques colston as a student in 6th, 7th, 8th and 11th grade...and i also taught all his brothers and sisters and coached middle school track with his (late) dad. he is a great kid from a great family. i really hope he gets a ring.
