  1. It doesn't matter. Atlanta won the popular vote.
  2. I would never wish the man harm, but Aaron Williams has become one of my favorite Bills. I think he's a difference maker, and I really hope he's OK to come back.
  3. Don't post when angry. Again, don't post when angry. First year I did not renew Sunday Ticket. Promised myself I would not pay for it as long as Rex Ryan and the bad clock management flag parade continued. It did. I didn't. Listened to the season on WGR radio, when games weren't televised where I live. On the first day of the year, trying to look at the positive. Today wasn't one, but being rid of this Ryan nonsense is a plus.
  4. This isn't that hard. There are organizations that are permitted to carry. There are restrictions that go with that. The Captain has the ultimate responsibility. Not complicated.
  5. It isn't stupid if you understand the program, which I'm not going to explain in detail. You can figure it out for yourself. Pilots carrying weapons is for cockpit defense, and they are trained to do this in great detail. They don't wear shoulder harnesses while flying, ex below 10,000 feet, and it is but a second to undo it, and I would bet the chances of overcoming one as near zero, given the new door changes. Ex that and air marshals, you have to have a need to carry on a flight. Simply being a law enforcement individual from an agency that is permitted, doesn't get it done. Pilots in the cabin for commuting to work who are authorized to carry also have weapons. Ultimately, the captain decides,.
  6. Not quite true. A passenger has to check it and it is placed in the cargo compartment. That much is true. There are lots of folks besides air marshals who carry on airplanes, including pilots. law enforcement officials among others.
  7. This is a pattern for Virginia offensive linemen. UVA recruits are pretty smart guys who have other options. Brad Butler D'Brickashaw Ferguson Eugene Monroe. Do well, Play the game. Make your money. Get out. Smart guys. Good players.
  8. My first ever Bills game. Sep 22, 1963. I had never been to any pro sporting event. My first memory was how good the hotdogs being cooked over charcoal smelled, and how that smell was everywhere. We had really good seats and sat behind Chief's wide receiver Chris Burford's parents. Game ended in a tie. Last time I went there was before they had nets in the end zone, and I jumped and caught an extra point. Wilson J5-V was with me for years. I remember going to the floor in the fetal position to protect it while getting repeatedly kicked for a minute or so, and a policeman telling me to hide it on my way to our car or I'd get killed. Really bad neighborhood. Bison games with that incredibly short right field fence were a hoot.
  9. Butch Byrd's Utica Club commercial. Worst ever.
  10. If anyone has tickets and can't use them, I'd be very interested. I can fly for free, so I can wait until the day prior.
  11. Two minute warning time out. Bills up 10. 70k chant in unison: "Pips....Pips.......Pips."
  12. That article is precisely why the Patriots are so despised. It is dripping with over the top arrogance. I'd love to see the headline over Shaughnessy's next Monday effort state "Pips demolish Pats."
  13. After week one, I would love to see the draft gurus of the early spring address their opinions. Who was cut, who survived, who did well vis a vis their draft slot, who made an impact. Funny, they never comment on actual performance once the season starts We seemed to do OK, in spite of low appraisals. Darby? Karlos Williams? What a nonsense faux industry that pays idiots for opinions.
  14. I grew up listening to Van. I'll never forget his call when Calvin Murphy dropped 68 against Syracuse. The best.
  15. If you are going to put a time line on it, you should have done it in your original claim, and not agreed to the point on an issue that is well beyond ten years ago. You are quite correct. in your post claiming Eagle Claw was directly the result of inadequate equipment and training . That post is in direct conflict with your original claim, that no such example existed. Further, the entire nonsense in the Middle East in that time frame was the direct result of the US military being weakened. Failure is a relative term. The US military was woefully under supplied under Carter, and it took years to fix. Even Grenada shows limitations and cost lives. DC Tom is quite correct in his assessment.
  16. None of our military shortcomings have been due to the military or a lack of air craft carriers, but the Commander in Chief(s). Somehow I think we can limp by with the air craft carriers we have. As far as Commander in Chief, that's a whole other deal. If you are claiming that none of our military failures were due to inadequate material being available, you are grossly mistaken. There have been many such instances in our past.
  17. Billy Shaw Paul McGuire Robert James Daryl Talley Steve Tasker OJ Thurman Thomas Jim Kelly Andre Reed
  18. You guys are clearly avoiding R. J. Archer. Down on the Seahawks QB depth chart, but dismiss him at your peril.
  19. This gets resolved. Their depth chart at his position is not impressive at all.
  20. I saw a lot of him at Virginia Tech. The first thing I noticed was how perfect his mechanics were. As an ex pitching coach, I notice those things. The other thing that was obvious is how he made huge mistakes and did not see the entire field. I remember one play in particular. His outside guy ran a go route and was wide open. At least 20 yards. Taylor threw to an underneath route and the throw resulted in a pick. At that instant I remember stating to my Va. Tech son that I really hope the Bills don't draft him. Time and time again he made poor decisions.
  21. The word on the street in the DC area was that Kyle Shanahan was very well thought of throughout the league. Mike is done. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills were his first HC gig. I'm certain he is going to get one.
  22. This is getting out of control, and I've had enough. The Administration needs to appoint a pizza czar.
  23. What happens in Vegas.........Stays in Vegas.
