  1. You got a point, but it isn't the "grossness" factor that gets me. I can sleep in a mud hole in the middle of malaria riddled jungle (well hope I don't get malaria ;-) ). For me, its all about taking ownership of the mattress. A hotel you sleep on it and leave.

     

    How much more are we really talking. Just cut somewhere else.

     

    I understand. I just found it funny the way people reacted, like a mattress slept in by someone else was their Kryptonite. :D

  2. I don't feel good about that at win at all. O Line is an embarrassment , Orton had 2 unforced turnovers, bad fumbles . Thank God for our D. Rbs getting hurt is no excuse

     

    Not pretty for sure but in December all anyone will see is wins and losses.

     

    Marone was not strutting. He knows how lucky they are and he knows they have a ton of work to do.

  3. Last year I got the flu right after Christmas. After a week I realized it was more than a bad cold and went to the doctor, who diagnosed it as H1N1, AKA Swine Flu.

     

    Man, I was sick for two and a half weeks. If I had fluid in my lungs, I would have been hospitalized.

     

    It sucks being that sick and it also sucks that our time off at work is all "PTO".

    I usually do not get sick, so getting the flu cost me a week's vacation as far as I was concerned!

    I also do not consider being bedridden and contagious "personal time off". If I could have made it to work, I was contagious for over a week.

    I could have wiped out the call center!

     

    Does anyone else get the flu shot? I got the shot yesterday and no side effects.

  4. I ran into tons of Pats* fans actually from out that way. Turns out it is cheaper for them to come to RWS and stay a night in a hotel than it is to go to Gillette. And with it being a long weekend for many, the conditions were right for an invasion.

     

    That is exactly what my daughter, who came in from Connecticut, told me.

     

    As far as Patriots fans, they were as well behaved as BILLS FANS. :bag:

     

    There were a bunch in 127 and they were HUGE a-holes. Taunting, calling names, picking fights, cursing people out. One or two might have gotten booted, but the security response was pretty lackluster.

     

    This sounds like the Bills fans in 337 at the home opener.

  5. The Patriots scored 16 points off of three Bills Turnovers. The Bills lost by 15.

     

    This is a fact that drives me absolutely crazy. You cannot do that as frequently as the Bills do and EVER be better than a .500 team.

     

    You will beat bad teams or perhaps catch a good team loafing, but a team on its game will have you for lunch every time, if you are buying!

  6. Wondering about what. SF is full of people who make and follow their own rules. We called it the city of unenforced rules. We were in the city two weeks ago and took the bus. I was blown away with the number of people that entered through the back door and didn't pay.

     

    We were in SF at the end of August.

    I have never been approached by beggars more times anywhere.

    We were 'stalked' twice by goons in different areas of the city, Luckily after NY and Toronto, we can spot them a block away.

    I think brothels are legal.

    I was offered pot about ten times. :w00t:

     

    We stayed in Chinatown for a week and had a great time.

     

    SF = few rules

     

    NYC Chinatown = You order, you Pay!

  7. If your plan is to trade him why would you bench him? If JG were to hypothetically "light it up" Brady's trade value would be in the crapper. (I don't think they trade him, but, if they did the market would be narrow and I'd say maybe a 3rd rounder)

     

    This was how we ended up with Drew Bledsoe, but we are not known for being smart.

  8. The Bottom Line On EJ Manuel: God gave EJ Manuel outstanding football and athletic skills. But God didn't give EJ Manuel competitive desire or ambition. EJ Manuel would rather be alone in a quiet library reading a book than playing football.

     

    Time to move on to Orton which will improve things...for about two weeks.

     

    I am going to reply only to suggest that if more people did not reply to your nonsense, you might get tired of baiting them and stop.

     

    I am not defending EJ or praising Orton. I am only pointing out that you do not know EJ but you make ridiculous claims about him.

     

    Bye.

  9. This will be first game ever at the Ralph? Does anyone know of good hotels near the stadium. Anyone planning on tailgating?

     

    We stayed at Comfort Inn on Camp Road, 5 minutes from RWS.

     

    Not fancy (don't need fancy), but clean and got a great sleep. I wanted to take the mattress home. LOL

     

    Brunch was average as you would expect, but got some starchy food, juice, and fruit in me before the moonshine came out in the morning.

  10. Interesting supposition. I disagree, though.

     

    Your point on the first half is well taken, but down by 19 with 2 minutes to play...come on.

     

    For a while I've thought about what would constitute "garbage" time, and it seems there would have to be a ratio of point margin to seconds left in the game.

     

    There is a threshold from which no team (yet) has come back. I'm very curious to know what it is.

     

    The problem with stats vs garbage stats, is that now you are having someone decide what stats matter.

     

    That is kind of like the officials, and what constitutes a penalty now.

     

    :death:
