Real football is not played in a dome. Domes are for wimps.
I find it hard to believe that Mr. Wilson didn't make allowances in his Will, or otherwise. No reason for the family to share it publicly now. But he felt very strongly about keeping the team in Buffalo. I always hated Bon Jovi.

Spikes was my MOST loathed guy in the NFL. Not only because of the helmet incident with Fitz, but he's had several plays against us that have made him look like he's doing nothing out there but trying to hurt people.
After the helmet to helmet hit on Freddy when he was basically defenseless, he became the consummate NFL villian for me, To make matters worse he's good and he plays for the Patriots.
I even remember telling my kids: "that is NOT how you play the game kids. There's a difference between hard nosed and cheap"
Sadly, within 5 minutes of learning that he was going to be our starting ILB I was excited and jumping up and down now that we finally have a beast run stuffing LB. "Maybe that helmet thing was just Fitz just being a Harvard baby" I said... "and anyway Freddy can take hits like that in his sleep...."
I'm not a man. Not a real one anyway.
A man would have stuck to his principles, his disdain for the cheap players should be unwavering no matter what color they wear, even if it's his own team's.. But the truth is, Brandon Spikes has shown me that I'm a waffling, spineless guy who really just hates everyone in the NFL until they become a Buffalo Bill. Does this mean I'd like Pete Carroll or Harbaugh or PacMan Jones if they could help us win?
I probably would. I'm getting rid of all the mirrors in my house because I can look at myself anymore.
I'm pathetic.
Actually, you COULD be a Seattle SeAdderol fan. Just toss your principles out the window and win, baby.

He's a dirty player - more the Seahawks speed.

Twenty years! Makes me feel OLD!

Our son died in his sleep at age 14. Never found a cause of death. You never get over it.
So sorry for this family and for your daughter having to deal with so much loss so young. Some good may come of it, eventually, but it's hard as hell to see how right now. However I've learned that out of the greatest losses, some good will usually follow - just have to recognize it when it does.
Prayers going out for you all.

The teabaggers were the ones who unleashed this on their own stupid selves. Or I should say, the ill-informed, ignorant nitwits who hijacked the movement. We need a third party, but it has to be VIABLE. Unfortunately every cranky lout who on one hand "hates" the gubmint (and on the other complains when the gubmint doesn't do enough for him) is drawn to the image of "patriot" but....they're not. They're just lunatic fringe wackos. The real reformers have lost their voices to these nuts.

There is no justifying his salary. For comparison. the President earns $400,000. **** is out of whack
Especially considering all he does is mess up the game. I'm still po'd at moving the ProBowl.

Not sure he's even starting...he had the surgery in August, only practiced this week. Maybe the Adderol will help.

You won't have to stand and you could get on TV (I sat in Row 1 once, before I bought my season tickets, and found myself with a camera in my face).

If you really bring a baby to a football game, in the lower bowl, at least make sure you get a noise-canceling headset on him.

Deaths attributable to the Crusades estimated at 9 million. Spanish Inquisition, about 125,000. I guess these guys feel they have some catching up to do.

Big boy is NOW saying his wife threatened him. Poor guy, the perennial victim.

I must have missed the "Roadmap to Mideast Crises" that lays out exactly what's going to happen and exactly how to react to it. It's pretty much been "they kill people in horrible ways whenever they feel like it"...our problem as a nation is that we recognize how much that sucks, and it's hard to look away. Looking away is partially WHY things are a freaking mess in the Middle East. The world looked away while Hitler gassed Jews, and post-war guilt drove the victors to kick a bunch of Arabs off "their" land to create Israel. Oversimplification to be sure...unless you're an Arab.

Meh...surely you're not implying Obama is the only POTUS ever, or the only world leader ever, to rattle a sabre? Last time I checked sabre-rattling doesn't usually generate casualties. And, sometimes it works (see Cuban Missile Crisis) Personally, much as I deplore what's happening, I don't know what anyone could do to stop it.

We didn't care when Saddam gassed his own people, so I find it hard to believe we give a damn about the Syrians. In any event it seems like there was a delay while the samples were collected and analyzed to be sure that the rumors were true, with the empty time filled in of course by sabre-rattling. Then we're waiting for the rest of the "civilized' world to weigh in, so more sabre-rattling is called for. Now we hear there won't be any troops sent in (yet) which is good, but I don't see what can be done. Who the heck do you bomb? I vote for sabre-rattling. It's just as effective as anything we can do, and fewer people will die. No matter what we do, or don't do, those poor slobs are toast.

Partial birth abortion is gross, except the fetus wouldn't live if it was birthed entirely. It's not viable. If it was, I'm pretty sure the people who have them wouldn't be able to pay for all the care the fetus would need to live. Who'd pay - taxpayers? You? <crickets>
This lady is a mental case. And unless there was the Second Coming, there was a man in the equation somewhere. It would have been better to dump the baby on HIM. At least, compared to what happened to the baby.
Any guy who's ever taken a chance ought not to be casting stones. You're not the ones stuck with the kid. I wish this person had gone to someone for help, but she didn't. Who knows why - she may not even know.
Abortion is and always should be a last resort. It is not birth control. And most normal people don't think of abortion as birth control.
Ever see Agnes of God? Based on a true story that took place in Rachacha area. I was doing my legal studies and was in court when they brought her in for arraignment. Having seen her I couldn't scream for her to get the death penalty, no matter what she did. Mental illness sometimes trumps retribution.

4-22 at WSU and then benched in favor of Loebbestal. Who's Loebbestal you ask? Exactly.Tuel Time is a nice kid but you have to learn how to win. I'd rather see Leinart start, he's been a major NFL bust but somewhere in the back of his brain he might remember what winning is like and how to get there.

So the NFL only tests for steroids then, eh? How interesting.

The Sundowner has ballet now?

You know if you can't be the best, be the best at being the worst. Bills got that NAILED.
-
its pretty outrageous. we all know racism cuts both ways
-
I hope the Bills suck this year then because if they win the SuperBowl they'll have to go to the White House and see Obama. How horrible. PPPer's would, of course, discount the win. In fact they'd storm the Ralph and smash the Lombardi trophy, ANYTHING to keep the Bills from being polluted by a visit to an Obama White House.

This only hit the NATIONAL news yesterday. And no-one wants to confiscate all guns. We just all wish gun owners would be responsible and agree that there is a problem, and join to help address it. I grew up with guns, might own one myself again one day. I will be responsible with it because I realize that when some IDIOT pulls this stuff, or some MORON leaves a gun lying around that kills a 3-year old it makes all gun owners look like irresponsible nuts. Yesterday alone on CNN's landing page you had these 3 asshats, a toddler who found a gun and killed himself, and the crazy guy in Georgia. You don't hear about the responsible gun owners, because the head of the NRA is a foaming-at-the-mouth fool who offers "more guns!" as the answer, and has crazies like Ted Nugent as poster boy. Ridiculous.
MOST gun owners are responsible. I don't know why they LET the crazies label them. The NRA represents the gun industry, not the gun owner. They'll defend to the death a crazy person's right to murder schoolchildren rather than admit that crazy people having access to guns is a problem, and the answer is anything but more guns.

Was it not in the early 1900's that we had a similar experience in NYC? The Shirtwaist Factory I believe? Even though it was "only" women who died (maybe children too) it was the start of the realization that the age of industry was hazardous to workers' health and more than a little unfair in terms of labor practices. Yet people would implement policies that would allow us to go back there....do you remember this?http://www.nytimes.c...wanted=all&_r=0. maybe i shouldn't assume that you'll see the connection between this event and your question, but i will anyway.
Don't rule out Niagara Falls, N.Y. as Bills future home

Retractable dome roofs cost a boatload of $ and I wonder about the harsh winter weather and heavy snow....I disagree that people don't like outside football. I used to go to games in the Kingdome, I've been to the Georgia Dome, Reliant Stadium and SuperDomer - it just doesn't feel feel when you're used to watching football outside.
If the Bills stay I would like to see the stadium in the city. Here in Seattle we have the Clink next to the Safe and if they ever get an NBA team that stadium will be close by too. There are lots of hotels downtown plus trains and buses. It's really convenient to be downtown. I realize most people who live in suburbia think "the city" is a foreign country but it's actually pretty cool to have a reason to go down there.
If the Bills go, I suspect the Ralph will become the world's biggest bonfire. I still believe someone has something up their sleeve. But if the Bills move, by then Pete Carroll will have been fired by the Seahawks so I can become a Seahawks fan.
