ding ding ding... we have an early submission for post of the day!

"To tell a family secret, my grandmother was dutch." --Sherriff Bart

If the D can stop the pats on 3rd down and maybe hand the ball off to the offense, maybe they can get some momentum going. That's the single key to the game. I don't care how anemic the bills offense is right now, or how crappy the playcalling has been... If the bills can get more than one drive per quarter on offense, then they'll hopefully get into a flow. But, the bills Defense has to stop the run.

I like your... um... avatar

bench nate clements for a series, change the radio frequency on holcomb's/losman's helmet receiver from tom clements' headset... Procede to call "Willis left/Willis right" for 50 straight plays.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/10/25/parks.obit/index.html Who would have thought that a little stubborn lady could have such a positive effect on society? She, as well as her symbolic act, will never be forgotten.

the first Super Bowl MVP to have a season average of yards per pass lower than our starting runningback's yards per carry. Hey, moulds still has that stupid "consecutive games with a catch" thing going, as well as "consecutive drives with at least one complaint to the officials over holding/pass interference" Seriously, kelly holcomb sucks as bad as jp sucked... But, we're still the AFC east leaders with a victory next week... This is why you throw JP in as a suprise starter. Maybe it will throw off the beatable patriots.

last play of the game... and it sums up the season. Horrible coaching, no heart, terrible usage of our best player (willis). Absolutely awful. Ralph needs to go "wade on the flight home from seattle" on jerry gray and tom donahoe.

this defense is pathetic... who really cares who starts at QB for the bills, or how many carries willis has... the defense will always find a way to f up the game. Jerry gray has just coached himself out of that gift wrapped head coaching position he had somewhere for next year.

bills getting a huge first drive. 2nd and 2 from the 8.

mort speculates that they're out of NO, desination LA http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2201514 If this is true, i'd say its pretty sick that the team would use katrina as an excuse to move. with that being said, i'll sleep easy every night with ralph 1 day closer and LA's spot filled.

You make a good point that these people are not society's finest, and that possibly some of us TBDers would do the same thing under those circumstances. However, i'd like to think that most of us are better than that. The issue isn't that they had a sexcapade, it was how they went about doing it... Which bring me to fez's point: The fact that they were being inappropriate with the boat staff, didn't follow the necessary procedures for their entertainment, and were THICK enough to not realize that their night of entertainment would get to the public, all was a bad set of ideas. They should pay, just like i'd be forced to pay, if i got caught with a stripper where there shouldn't have been a stripper, and for doing innapropriate sexual things with random people. The difference between Joe Minnesota Viking and Johnny White Collar , is that Joe is famous. They're both an embarrasement to their families and their personal connections, they'll both have to pay the legal price for their actions, but Joe also gets to be publicly humiliated. What goes around, comes around. Just ask OJ... I'm sure he'll be in the black hole today.

No, you're sleeping again. Nevermind the man behind the curtain!!

yeah, well, barry sanders cannot play anymore, so wake up. I'd take a non descript guy anyday. give me 53 kent hulls and steve taskers and i'll show you a championship. I just hope that willis shows up tomorrow. This "i'm the best" stuff only works if you can run with the big dogs.

I don't particularly like grandstanding, however if the dude backs it up on the field, i could care less... Sorta like the polar opposites of Bruce Smith (HOF candidate for grandstanding and play), and Kent Hull (HOF candidate for play and for being annonymous). I loved both of them equally. They both did their jobs above and beyond what was called for. I'll take a drunk, loudmouth, jerk, crybaby, 200 sack Bruce Smith over a lunchbucket ryan denny anyday, just like i'd take a loudmouth, dancing 150yard per game willis mcgahee over a nondescript deuce mcallister anyday.

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c...SPGOKFCEK31.DTL Also on TBD... Mcgahee basically states that he knows LT has better stats than him, but still says "I'm the best, case closed". Say what you want about his Big Wiggle (old WCW marks will know what i mean) and his stupid "i'm back" tattoo, but this guy is the real deal and he has backed up everything he's said and done so far. It's one thing to talk the talk, but its another to walk the walk. If you can read this message (it's been encrypted from former UM players using proper english grammar, spelling, and syntax), happy birthday and go kick some butt tomorrow.

It's a bad idea on many counts. First, the NFL is steeped in tradition with the divisional format. If it went to a top 6 in conference format, ala the nhl or nba (top 8 in their cases) you'd still have a team who might be at .500 and then there'd really be nothing you can do about it, plus it eliminates the divisions. Second, since the nfl is all about the $$, they'd lose some with the loss in merchandise regarding the "division champs". Owners and teams take a lot of pride in being division champs... hell, we just had a debate on the best jets game ever, and the 9-6 Fandemonium game was the clear cut winner. That was the game that the bills win the AFC East. Without divisions, Fandemonium (or the second round of Fandemonium with reich leading the bills to victory over the dolphins in 1990 to win the division) would have never happened. I can honestly see your point about kicking out a .500 division winner for another wildcard team whom finished better than .500. However, making this change would radically change the playoff format and eliminate conference divisions. This is the reason why your idea will never happen. If the 8-8 nfc north champs packers, 7-9 nfc north champs detroit lions or the 6-10 division champ chicago bears make it to the wildcard round, do you honestly think that they'll make it past the eagles, [here's where i insert more dominant teams, but since the nfc sucks i can't do that]? In summary, you have a valid argument, however it won't get any legitimate backing till a .500 or less team wins the super bowl. After all, on any given sunday anything can happen. [berman imitation] THAT'S WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME!! [/berman imitation]

doesn't appear to be. Seems like a gaffe by NFL ST... I recall a game being pushed ahead because of a hurricane a couple years ago and DTV made the programming switch.

damn, his girlfriend is a BotD

The new episoe of SP was decent. it was a spoof of the day after tomorrow with a katrina flair to it. As for my favorite southpark episode, i don't have one right now... its too early to think. However, this is a good chance to plug my favorite movie of all time: Cannibal! The Musical. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115819/ The sky is blue and all the leaves are green. My heart's as warm as a baked potato. I think you know exactly what i mean, when I say it's a Spedoinkle Day! If you haven't seen cannibal! go rent it. I think trey parker and matt stone made the movie as their thesis for college, so its extremely low budget and very campy, but its funny as hell. "hey look guys, they have fudge!"

I'm on all electric, but we have fireplace with a gas hookup, without a tank in the yard... This weekend is hacksaw time for the pipe. Then i can get some wood (although its suprisingly hard to find chopped wood in north carolina) for the winter months. Progress energy (our electric company) is relatively cheap, but anything to help us out, like the fireplace, would be great.

Is this just a dress code for the players participating in team/leauge related events (games, practices, PR stuff) or is it a 24/7 dress code (i.e. guys can't wear their jewelry in the middle of july at a resort in the keys?) http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2194537 ok, i answered my own question. Now, if this clown wanted to start a real argument, he should start wearing a crucifix or a star of david and claim religious discrimination.

they were in the backfield of course... I hate how the announcers always refer to them as the best D-secondary in the league. Listen, they're the best ballhawking secondary in the league... When they can stop the run, then they'll be the best.
