They'll be a breath of fresh air after 7 years in NC. Picture the hottest, most humid 95+ degree day WNY might have experienced a couple times in the last few summers. Now live that day every single day for literally two months straight, and that's summer in NC. It blows. It's way easier to stay warm in the WNY winter than cool off in the NC summer.

Exactly. Having graduted from the SUNY system and worked for the UNC system, you're absolutely right. And I corrected a typo in my original message, private school tuition here in NC is way MORE than the property tax we'll be paying when we move back to ROC. And it's not as if you pay double the school taxes once you have two kids in the district. We're pleased as punch to be making the move back. I have a lot of friends at a similar stage in life planning to make the move back to WNY for many of the same reasons. Schools, family, culture, etc.

Thirty-one team planes crashing into each other?

The only time I noticed EJ egging the crowd on was when the clock had run down on the 3rd quarter and there was a break in action.

The high taxes pay for something, people forget that. I'm much more comfortable sending my kids to just about any suburban school district in NY vs. NC. And what I'd pay in private school tuition in NC is way MORE than the property taxes in WNY. Edit: corrected more/less typo

We are moving back to ROC after 7 years in NC. Schools are a big motivating factor. Family too.

The photo opp at midfield would pretty much make for the best family photo/Xmas card ever.

Especially when you're always 6-10.

Same old song.

I'm not sure who's working hardest to beat the Bills. The Pats, the refs or the Bills?

I still think this is a bit of Belichickian misdirection and our week one starter will ultimately be Jamarcus Russell. That will throw everybody for a loop.

So you're asking if the Bills plan to change leagues and suck?

I'm with you, man. I've got way too much else going on in my life to spend time pouring negative feelings and anger into football. If Jeff Tuel is our starter week one, no matter the weird circumstances that brought us to that point, then he has my full-throated support. It's Tuel Time!

Exactly what I was gonna say. Those white helmets just jump off the screen, especially in the HD era. Our current scheme is just simple, elegant and classic. Like all the best schemes are. I hope they never change again.

My cat's breath smells like cat food.

Garrison Sanborn. Dude is content to just sit there and hike the ball and nothing else.

Apple already carries MLB.tv, which is way more complex than Extra Innings. You get every single game instead of most games, AND you get to pick which team's feed to watch, or even the radio feeds if you want. Methinks apple could figure out Sunday Ticket. The only real difference would be the crush of bandwidth with games being the same day and time every week.

I agree with much of this. If you are upset with the content, then just ask for a refund of your very considerable subscription fee. It's an Internet message board, not a country club.

These guys need to be smart enough not to be carrying. That's what your entourage is for.

Leif Garrett > Maybin I'd even rather have Leif drive me home.

Bag of doorknobs > Kick in the crotch > Maybin

Yeesh. I know injuries are part of the game, but it does really suck to hear about players getting seriously hurt, even when they're on other teams.

Any chance in the world all the vagueness re: the extent/nature of the injury/procedure is partly some Belichickian gamesmanship leading up to week one, or am I just wearing my tinfoil hat too tightly again?

I can't believe the lack of respect on this board for John Unabomber and Terry Seinfeld.

So how does one go about putting an Internet message board on suicide watch? Just curious...
