As a reminder, the tailgate will be at Sliders Bar and Grille October 24th before the Bills @ Ravens game. There will be a $10 fee for the buffet and there will be a 2 for 1 drink beer special as well (average out to about $1.50 per beer). More information can be found here about the tailgate. I will be on vacation starting tomorrow, and when I get back home, I'll probably post another thread on where to send in the fee for the buffet (we'll need to pay a deposit in advance) which will include the final buffet menu and all the relevant specials. They'll need a deposit at least 2 weeks in advance, so I'll probably start collecting the fees in another week or two. Hope to see a lot of you there!

There will be a lot of people who will go to the tailgatg but not go to the game due to the price and limited availability of tickets. Tickets? Check with the various ticket brokers, eBay, or even check out Ravens message boards or sunspot.net's(Baltimore Sun website) classifieds. Beyond that, I can't help you. I'm getting my tickets through a broker. And, the next time you stop through Baltimore and don't even have the decency to let me know about it, you're in trouble, mister!

Now now, boys.

I will. I'll be interested to see if he holds up game in, game out. He's even slighter than Julius Peppers, who learned a bit about how tough it is to be a smallish DE, even if you have great athletic ability (see the last Super Bowl for reference). If he turns out to be a dynamic pass rusher, I'll be the first to admit I was wrong about him.

Only ONE more day until VACATION!!!!! T-MINUS 4 DAYS UNTIL THE OPENER!!!

Vick has had a pretty awful preseason. It's thought that teams know how to defense his abilities and know that he won't beat them in the pocket. I'm not so sure I agree with that. I have Vick in a couple leagues I'm in and I intend to start him as long as he's healthy. Haven't really kept up on Delhomme or Carr to know how they fared this preseason.

Our draft begins in 3 minutes!

You're not as bad a seed as you'd like to think you are. If you were, you probably would've been gone long ago. Have fun watching the Pats....................lose(?).

I don't know. I'm on the league page here. Maybe it's a firewall issue. That's why I made sure to schedule the draft for when I could access the league from my home computer. Although I can access the league page from work, I cannot use the draft room from work.

We got our player. Thanks Chard. REMINDER TO LEAGUE MEMBERS: our draft begins tonight at 5pm EST.

I agree. Fortunately for us, the good ones vastly outnumber the others.

Where are you going? Doesn't sound like the same place I'm going.

I thought DirecTV bought out Dish Network recently. If so, maybe you can get Sunday Ticket with the Dish Network. I have had DirecTV for over 3 years and until a better option WITH Sunday Ticket comes along, I'll continue to have it.

Well, go get a plate then. We'll join you in 3 days.

I'll do my best.

You get a couple more chances: Cards game and the finale vs the Steelers.

Where will you be tailgating? Are you coming to Hammer's Lot? Do you have another place you usually tailgate at? If so, let me know where and I'll try to stop by.

We'll probably go over after noon. I'll be at the tailgate early though (around 8am).

Coward.

Psycho Ward 86 will be there. Again.

I figured there'd be too much bitching about them. Hey, whadda ya know...

Dammit! And I made plans to go away this weekend. Maybe I can change them at the last minute...

You mean, all you could get from this damn board is a measly 70 bucks? Or, was that 70 cents?

In another draft, I was able to get a couple late round steals: Mr. T Godzilla Davey and Goliath Popeye Doyle With my first round pick, I took the obvious: Michael Moore.
