The best thing about baseball, and what sets it apart from all other sports for me, is that there is no time kept. Therefore there is no milking a clock and wasting time to slow down another team from scoring to protect your lead. Each team has 27 outs to make something happen and even if you are behind you are still assured at least one more chance to try and come back to win it.

1. Cam Newton QB - Buffalo Bills (not rooting for this) 2. Blaine Gabbert QB - Carolina Panthers 3. Von Miller LB - Denver Broncos 4. Gabe Carimi OT - Miami Dolphins 5. Kyle Rudolph TE - NY Giants

Not at all. I want to avoid these when sober. Restricting your movement is a pain in a55.

Excellent read. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, the gaming experience sure is a lot different today than when I was 13. Now, no way... at 13 though... why not?

Late extended lunch? That is what I am going to try and pull off.

Thanks for the input so far guys. Unlike Chef, suggestions and opinions on things in the area are welcome and appreciated.

It is looking extremely likely that I will be heading to San Diego next month for work and remaining there for most of the time through the rest of 2011. This will take me through the entire 2011 season, if they play it, so I was looking for some information on watching Bills games out there. I have been to the Bills Backers website and the San Diego Bills Backers Club website so I have the basic information. I am looking for some details from people with first hand experiences out there that I can keep in my back pocket until the fall rolls around. I realize this is very early to be looking for this kind of information but the better part of work this week for me has been dealing with the details required for this trip and I can't think of any detail more important than the when/what/where of Bills game viewing.

Yeah, it is funny how your perception on that stuff changes over time. I guess my comment on this cover with Brady shows how 10 years of losing has my Pats* hate being celebrated more than my Bills love. As for the rest of the links people are posting... I should have guessed this would become a swimsuit issue thread even though I did put a disclaimer saying excluding swimsuit issues.

Ha, I am older than you. No doubt there are a lot of awesome Bills covers from the glory days but seeing Brady on the cover of a magazine looking the fool is priceless IMHO. Especially when considering all the covers he has done for GQ, People, and other non sports mags. No hair and no UGGS present here, just Brady getting killed and looking like he is about to cry from fear. With all the Brady slurping from the media we as Bills fans have had to endure over the last 9 years, as well as the rest of the non-Pats* fans out there, a picture like this can't be celebrated enough.

Nice, that is great too, somehow never saw that one. Great to bring back the memory of being at that game, sadly there are a lot of Pats* games I have been to since then that I would like to forget.

Sorry if this has been posted. But even if it has it warrants extra sharing because all Bills fans will appreciate the look of fear in Brady's eyes. http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_assets/636480/227190130.jpg I'll admit I am a little jealous it wasn't a Bill inflicting this damage but I'll take it just the same.

Has to be the Steelers. Two weeks of Rex and the rest of his team running their mouths up to the Superbowl would be too much for any non-fan of the Jets.

I always thought your zodiac sign is determined by what you are actually born under, not just when your birthday falls. In other words where the stars were when you entered the world is what gives you the personality stuff of your sign. So that being said I would think this would only affect babies born going forward, right? Not saying I believe in any of this stuff anyway, just curious why people seem to be so fired up about it.

For food or drink near HSBC try: http://www.pearlstreetgrill.com/ Only a block or two from the arena. They have great beer and food but if you want to eat dinner there go early because it gets packed for Sabres games. The place is huge though and by mid march you might get lucky with the weather and have it nice enough to use their porch as well. In any case it is always my favorite place to go before/after a Sabres game.

There has to be something more to it than just that. I fly a lot and it seems to me with all the books, magazines and sleeping very few are ever paying attention to any of those emergency instructions.

You guys make it seem like hoping for something to happen is actually going to make it happen. How about you root for the Bills and just let things fall the way they will because regardless of who you want to win that is how it is going to work. The Bills could win and still be drafting top 5 if some other lowly teams pull off some upsets too. Way too much energy is wasted arguing about this. When the season is over it is going to be a lot more important how we draft instead of where we draft.

From what I remember the Sex Pistols have actually done that already. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sex_pistols.gif

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke IMHO. I don't see how anyone could consider that place valid when someone like Madonna gets inducted while The Guess Who and Rush sit waiting.

It's a Festivus miracle!

I always thought CNY was well out of the black out area too, but then I moved out here about 6 years ago and learned the hard way that they are also blacked out. From what I understand sometime in the mid 90s the FCC determined that the Syracuse CBS affiliate can reach a tiny sliver of East Rochester that is within the blacked out zone. So by rule they can't broadcast it either. Then because so many other places around Syracuse use their CBS they end up getting boned too so places like Rome and Utica also are blacked out. Seems kind of silly that 200 miles away can still be blacked out but I'm not holding my breath waiting for anyone to reexamine these archaic NFL rules. If you go look at the 10/10 game, Jacksonville, on that map link people referred to above you get a good look at where the lines are for who sees it and who can't.

This is unfortunately not true. Syracuse stations do get blacked out as well. You have to be almost as far east as Albany, as far north as Watertown, or as far south as Binghampton to avoid the stupid black out.

Go Bears! Go Jacksonville! (If we want the chance to knock NY out of the play-offs that last week we actually need San Diego to lose because the Jets win a 3-way tie.)

Aside from the divisional games and assuming the formula stays the same for 2011: Home: Skins, Eagles, KC, Denver, (AFC South 4th place) Houston as it stands right now. Away: Cowboys, Giants, Oakland, San Diego, (AFC North 4th place) Cincy most likely.

I thought seasons 1-4 were excellent. Especially 4, Lithgow was incredible. However I thought this season was very mediocre. I agree with the previous posters about the stolen car thing. Seemed like another example of the poor writing this season as compared to others. It was too easy in a lot of episodes to poke holes in what was going on and Dexter was much too sloppy to keep buying luck is what is saving him again and again. Hopefully next season can raise the bar again.
