  1. Yes. No self respecting American would desecrate his testicles by putting them anywhere near such filth.
  2. No teams drafted any players south of the mason dixon, they all drafted all their players in NYC.
  3. How'd you like to be the cop that handcuffed a guy to a chair that wasn't anchored? He won't live that down for a while.
  4. A friend of mine has one, but he usually only does it during the season the night after a game. Last year they had a draft show, but I'm not sure if they are this year. here's a link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-buffalo-bills-review/id79592313
  5. It can also induce mild visual hallucinations from what I've heard. Nothing crazy, but from what I understand it distorts objects and makes light appear bluer than normal.
  6. What's a suburb on the westside of Rochester have to do with Haiti or Japan?
  7. The problem is that the kids who don't make it in the pros after going through this type of program are going to be even less marketable in the world outside of sports than they are now. You said maybe they could coach somewhere, but where? Most high school coaches are teachers too, and the stipend you get for being just a coach is nowhere near enough to live off of. You'd be hard pressed to get a job coaching at any college, even as an assistant at a DIII or junior college without any previous experience IMO.
  8. Both for different reasons. In general I like hockey better than football, so in that sense the Sabres have a slight edge. However, due to the length of the football season, I make it a point to watch every Bills game, whereas I don't sweat it to much if I miss a few Sabres games over the course of a season, because there's so many.
  9. Chickens in Buffalo have 2 wings, same as everywhere else.
  10. They got rid of the troughs and put in real urinals, at least in the bathroom that I used this past year.
  11. just confirmed by bills text
  12. 2 regular season games in Toronto? Now, if the deal was they get all the preseason home games and we get all the real games, I'd be all for it. Actually, I think the NFL would be wise to have a majority or at least a significant percentage of the preseason games at neutral sites. Most season ticket holders I know have little to no interest in going to a preseason game and would rather not have to pay for them, and it would be a great way to expand the league's fanbase to have preseason games at neutral sites that are affordable for an average family of 4 that doesn't live close enough to an NFL team to see games live. JMO.
  13. This would make sense IF the Bills needed a new stadium. Luckily there's nothing wrong with The Ralph.
  14. I'm not particularly sympathetic to either side. My simplistic view is I want to watch Bills football next fall, and I will be upset with whoever takes that away. Right now, its looking like it will be the owners who pull the trigger on a lockout if it comes to that, so in that sense I side with the players. That just doesn't stop me from thinking that the players have it pretty damn good. Now that we have that cleared up, you pose some interesting questions regarding my perceptions and background which I will try to answer. I am a 22 year old graduate student. By the time I finish school in 3 years at age 25, I will be approximately $100,000 in debt due to my undergraduate and graduate student loans, and the starting salary in my field is around $50,000 a year. By the time an NFL player reaches 25, they have 2-3 years in the league making at minimum a few hundred thousand a year, after not paying a dime for their college education. Essentially in the same amount of time, they have made several times more money than I will owe. In addition, they make in 1-2 years what it will take me 10 years to make. Even if they didn't finish their degree the first time around, if they live within their means they should have no problem going back to school for whatever field they choose to enter after football and graduating debt free. From where I'm sitting, It's hard to be sympathetic to a guy who blows an opportunity like that, but as someone who has blown an entire paycheck in a weekend, I can at least empathize with being 20 something and thinking you have a lot of money, although I only did this once and quickly learned my lesson. Regarding the owners, my perception is that even the least wealthy one has more money than I could spend in several lifetimes. I can't imagine what having that amount of money is like, and I especially can't imagine having that much money and wanting more, which is probably one reason why I will never have that much money. As much sympathy as I lack for the players, I can at least empathize with them somewhat due to our similar age demographics. The owners are so far out of my league in terms of just about every important demographic category that I can't even begin to empathize with them, and I especially have no sympathy for them.
  15. When did I say I felt sympathy for the owners? The only side I have any sympathy for is the side with no say in the negotiations that will be the biggest losers no matter the outcome, the fans. I just want football next year, and if there is no football next year, it will be due to the owner's greed, so in that sense I would side with the players if I had to choose a side. Nevertheless, the often repeated notion that the players don't have it as good as you or I think they do is either complete BS, or their own fault IMO.
  16. At the very least, they should make enough in 3 1/2 years in the NFL to pay off their student loans. Oh wait, they don't have any because they got to go for free. Why are we supposed to feel bad for them? no one is forcing them to make stupid financial decisions and not plan for the future. The bottom line is even if they aren't filthy rich, anyone with 3 1/2 years in the NFL should be much better off than the average 20 something recent college graduate. Whether they actually are or not is no one's decision but their own, and I find it hard to have any sympathy for someone who chooses to waste that opportunity.
  17. It looks like now's the time for a billboard campaign for red endzones.
  18. I doubt it. I think the jersey sales will largely depend on if there is football or not next year. I can't imagine many people buying clothing that is generally only worn to games if there are no games to go to.
  19. I don't think it's an either/or proposition. Maybe the Bills new uniform will be the first to do this. Perhaps the "storied history" the uniforms will incorporate is tobacco ads, hearkening back to the days of the Marlboro billboards at Rich in the 80's and 90's.
  20. I don't watch enough college football to endorse one guy in particular, but I don't want a qb taken in the third round or later. You take a qb in the top two rounds if you think he can be the guy, in rounds 3 and later you're generally drafting backups. We already have a young late rounder with upside who has been in the system for a year, and I don't see the point in adding another rookie unless you think he can be a long term starter.
  21. What was wrong with OJ during his playing days?
  22. Well you see, "jersey" and "uniform" are synonyms. The Bills are getting new uniforms next season. Armed with both these bits of information and the fact that New Jersey is a state, the OP was able to concoct a clever ruse whereby he would lead people to believe they were glimpsing the new uniform, but when they clicked the link it was nothing more than a map!
  23. I picked Bruce, because if we couldn't have Kelly, I'm assuming it was because he was already taken before us in the 1983 draft, and there was another hall of fame qb taken after Kelly that year, who we still would've been able to get.
