Told ya. He's mean.

Sounds like a busy weekend, Ray. Don't forget to add "think of a way to get to the Bills-Ravens tailgate/game" to the list also.

I may just have to go to that Damon's near the stadium, then. If I can hurry up and get there and get a seat, that is. Am I going to the Steeler game? Oh yeah. Of the 9 Bills-Steelers games held at RICH, I've been to 8 of them and up until the '01 game, the Bills had won them all. I want payback this time!

How bad is it when Hank Williams calls you desperate?

We'll acutally be staying at the Red Roof Inn in Monroeville. We're trying to hook up with the couple that my Mother got the tickets from (they're friends of the family and they live in Monroeville too) for dinner Saturday night. We'll be driving back home after the game, but I might try to talk my wife into stopping at a sports bar or a place like Damon's so we can watch the Bills game.

Without question.

The reason is quite simple, actually. It's been told to me many times here on the board. We're all just pencil neck geeks who probably have never played the game before.

When I asked Mark about it, he said he's going to be involved in something else that day, so it doesn't look like we'll be using his sauce, unless they buy it from him. I am coming up there for the night game vs New England. Sidbuff will be there also.

Now that they have a location at Heinz Field, trust me, that is THE main reason I'm looking forward to going there!

There's no argument here, so don't look for one. My comment was directed at society in general, NOT to CBS or the legal system in particular. The same people who flew off the handle about the Janet Jackson issue don't mind seeing commercials where the underlying message is to lie to people or steal from someone (that one with the rocks in the fridge?) or even promote promiscuity (the one where the guy says,"...I don't even know this woman's name..."). That, to me, is hypocrisy.

Maybe it was inflated to reflect the current economy?

Any team that can't score that well is beatable.

I hope not. Teague wasn't that great a tackle in Denver, which is why they made no effort to re-sign him and he came to Buffalo. What we need is an infusion of talent, not a juggling of our lack of talent.

For those very same reasons, I guess your days of going to football games are over as well, right?

Hey Mike, will we be seeing you and the rest of the CNJBBB group at Sliders again this year for the Ravens game?

True, Kelly. In so many ways, the TE position is hurting the Bills. On offense, they're ineffective and on defense, with our problems at safety and with a MLB not known for great coverage skills, they're a factor we have much trouble stopping.

The left side of their line, with Mulitalo and Ogden, is very good. When Ogden was out, Jamal suffered. With him back in the lineup, he's been able to run better. As long as those two guys are up front, they can plug in anyone else and be able to get at least decent production from them. Boller is another one of Billick's Frankenstein monsters (see Chris Redman) who doesn't look like he can handle the pros. I could be wrong, but so far, he's shown very little.

She likes apples even better.

Isn't Sam Adams light an oxymoron or something?

His office was recently removed from One Bills Drive to the grassy knoll.

I don't think so. During the off-season, she's usually found giving couples carriage rides in Central Park.

Why are your concert days long over? I still enjoy going to concerts. I even enjoy the occasional country music concert. Okay, by occasional, I mean the only one I've ever been to: Reba McEntire and Billy Dean, about 7 years ago.

No, but a few members of the WNBA were there.

No. I missed that one. Dang.

Hey, 3-3 would go a long way to making things a bit more sane around here.
