Those should be pretty good seats. I hope you guys have a great time. If I could, I'd go with you to the game, but I just can't do it now.

USAF ESC (Electronic Security Command) 88 - 90

Now you know why I cound NEVER call you a bastage.

You bring up some good points, and I'm sure we all hope that this team can beat a good team on the road, like this week's game against New England. Otherwise, we'll be right back to being in a tailspin with the doom and gloom. Like you, I'm hoping for a good showing this weekend by the Bills, something that proves this team is heading in the right direction.

You shouldn't hate, Mike.

The last night game I remember going to was the opener against the Titans in 2000.

Not me. A worthless drunk? Yeah. A know-it-all? Sure. But never have I called you a bastage.

That sucks.

I'd be happy to buy it from you. I haven't bought Halo2 yet, but I plan to.

When we went to close on our home in 2001, we were told that Maryland had the 2nd highest closing costs in the nation. Hawaii was first.

What if someone told her how to access TBD?

Why are you running away? You think she can't read or access the 'net while you're not around?

You shouldn't hate.

I told RICH I should get there some time between noon and 1pm. I already made reservations at a hotel not far from their place, so I won't have to worry about driving to my Mother's hotel suite in Philly drunk.

There's lots of federal employees in this area, so I wouldn't be surprised. They do ask that we get permission ahead of time for taking leave immediately before or after holidays though (not that it stops people from calling out anyway, though).

We don't have Monday off (we have tomorrow off), so I took Monday off. I only wish I had taken Friday as well, then I'd be off for 5 straight days

Yeah todd, I agree: Empire is clearly the best of the 5 movies to date. Peter Jackson is awesome! I am SO looking forward to his remake of the 1933 King Kong, a project that has been in the works for many years (he got involved in that BEFORE the LOTR trilogy). It should be great.

Happy 229th Marines, from a former Airman (USAF's birthday is the same day as my wedding anniversary...go figure!).

Week 9: 8-5 Overall: 64-49-4

Yeah, given those choices, I'd go with Barlow. Make sure you've checked to see if there are any other options available to you, as neither are a great choice.

I sure hope Ralph does get into the Hall, where he truly belongs. More than that, though, I really want to see Kent Hull get into the Hall. I've been touting him as a deserving HOF candidate for the past few years and I'll defend my stance on Hull's worthiness to anyone.

Ginn has looked very good so far. When they started calling him Cleveland's best athlete since Jesse Owens, I was skeptical. But, this guy is showing on the field just how dangerous he can be. He kinda reminds me of a guy I ran track against a few times in high school: Raghib Ismail. He and his brother, Qadry, were awesome athletes in high school (Qadry was the FB on the football team while Raghib was the RB; Qadry was a state champion in the high hurdles while Raghib won state titles in the sprints) and did very well in both college and the pros.

I think Mark summed it up pretty well. In terms of which QBs should do well in the NFL, I do think Matt Leinart is among the best, but I think Aaron Rodgers of Cal looks like the best prospect so far. Kyle Orton of Purdue looks good too, but I still don't know about how good of an NFL player he'll be.

Yeah, I know.

3-5, plus the results of the last half of the season
