yikes. please call him and tell him he's a troll when we run up 4 TDs.

don't worry...this week we're CONVERTING THEM!

the disrespect can be aggravating, but i think the best thing that can happen to our team but is if everyone picks against us!

i'm thinking play action to moulds-incomplete. which brings me to the second play: willis over the right guard for 9 yards. then a quick 4 yards by jp to convert on 3rd and 1 and we are off the the races!!

you know, i realize these are all "minor" things, but you'd think there might be SOME sort of cumulative effect to all this bad news. or maybe it's all forgotten after the first snap...? i know usually that's the case, but usually there aren't 3 embarrassing problems in the same week.

what?! that has to be a hoax!

my lone trip to tampa: new years eve...98-99. we never made it to a strip club, chiefly because there were so many hot chicks takin it off for free at the regular clubs! and yes this was in ybor city. wowww what a night. this was the weekend of the bills playoff game in miami (flutie era). we had penn st. vs. ky tix (coulda told you then, couch sux), but the night before we never made it back to the hotel till 5am...because of all the mayhem and public nudity. so we saw the penn st. game on 2 hrs sleep which was just fine...afterwards loaded up and headed straight to miami. did another 5am night on south beach, tho with not quite as much nudity. too bad. bills choked up the game which wasn't too good either. the highlight of the trip definitely turned out to be new years eve in ybor city. you're married?? ! i smell trouble...

you are seriously right. the less attention the better. if we could somehow go 16-0 with zero media attention i would select that option in a heartbeat. hopefully this week's vicory will be pedestrian enough that no one will notice again!!

stop ruining my brilliant point.

first...i am sorry you lost your pet...that is always a tough thing. but by any chance do you live in/near central PA? cause i have new addition to the family that is youngf and cute, but whom i am willing to part with. what happened is this- i am home last sunday night, basking in the glory of the bills win, when i look in the mirror in my bedroom and see a freaking CAT wandering around my bedroom like it owns the place. never saw thing in my life! it is about a 6 month old female kitten. very cute, very friendly and very SKINNY(though healthy otherwise). apparently the thing has been wandering the neighborhood and found that one of my screens had and small hole in it. so she just moved in. without asking or anything. so of course i, the sucker i am, go to the corner store for some kitten chow (i know...big mistake) and though i insist on feeding the thing outside, it is too hot to shut the windows and so the cat is in and out at will. and so it is...i have been adopted. yes i could fix the screen. yes i could stop feeding it. yes i could punt it out the door. but....but...i can't... so do you want a new cat???

hey you crazy bastard...when did you come out of hiding again??

oops ..i forgot him..but at this stage of his career he's not that much better. i guess my point is that buchanon is not that bad. there is a reason we only scored one TD- and that one was basically on a trick play.

he's no superstar, but that is a good defense and buchanon's the best they have!

joe works very hard to prop up his "cranky bastard" persona here on the site, but then he blows it all at the games. i've seen him running around a tailgate trying harder to feed people than a jewish grandmother.

if only it was such...we were losing till the final drive...only a pill-to-moulds for a 50yard catch-and-run saved our oft-sacked asses that night. meanwhile, speaking of the KCM, there have also been a couple of PMs thrown in there as well. hopefully s.a. tx will be an easier place to play. and also, why wouldn't they play the game on sunday?

as always, i must disclaim that my modest little level of coaching is not the NFL, but i have seen a lot of very good and passionate coaches driven away by the loooooong hours and complete domination of your life that it assumes. of course with track/xc there is almost NO chance that you will be paid what you're worth, so maybe that is why NFL guys (and their families) put up with it. i've known more than one successful coach who has put in jerry gray hours for 30k, and they finally just wake up one day and realize there has to be more to life.

you know, this is why i think coaching is really not a healthy profession.

i still think the bills 2000 defense measures up quite well against this one. the secondary wasn't as good, but i like the front 7 better.

we had a chance to put ourselves in the playoffs by stuffing pghs. backups, and this defense could not do it. until we respond differently in similar circumstances i will call this defense good, but not earthshattering. i STILL have a bad taste in my mouth from game, and nothing i saw sunday has changed it. houstons offense is terrible.

we'll see. if it is 90 and humid, we're screwed...unless it's been that hot, or close to it, in buffalo for the last 3 weeks. what happened in june, july and august is basically irrelevant. when the weather gradually cools (has it cooled down up there this month?) you start to become deacclimated, regardless of how much money you make. your blood volume drops, and short of receiving IVs at halftime, the effects of this will mount as the game progresses. the players blood gets thicker, harder to pump, players move slower and slower, until- boom goes the dynamite!- cadillac turns the corner in the 4th and runs a sweep for an 80 yd TD. if the gametime weather mirrors what has been in tampa for the last 3 weeks, and it is much warmer than it has been in buffalo, it could be trouble. are halftime IVs routine? that would solve the problem, but it sounds a little impractical.

not personally, but you once told me you wrestled in the olympic team trials. that is officially badass.

when i say "worst" i mean only in terms of the list itself. i don't really think they're the worst team...although them being ranked 32nd is not nearly as comical as the skins being ranked first. maybe the whole thing is just based on stats, but you lose all credibility when you put the skins on top of a power poll!

he would never tell you, but milo is a very BADASS wrestler.

the skins beat the worst team in the nfl by 2 points... and they are #1? not worth the bandwidth i just wasted clicking over to it.

and all of a sudden no one is calling russo an a-hole! (fwiw, i like those guys- i just think they are too hard on the bills.)
