I think it stems from some of his "parting shots" about Bflo after he had been shown the door...

I'm glad he's so high on our favorite football team, but he's still a tool.

Deep emotional pain from games played 18 years ago? This thread reads like it was written by 17 year old girls who can't get passed not being voted Homecoming Queen.

Wow, a lot of tormented souls here. Maybe it's my relative old age - I remember all too well sitting in a 3/4 empty Rich Stadium during the 2-win seasons to not look at the Super Bowl years as anything but enjoyable. I'm sorry so many of you look upon an era of dominating Bills football with anything but pride.

While not quite the big name that Jay drops, Josh Stamer's uncle has told me he frequents the Wall and has been a big Bills fan long before Josh was a Bill.

That dude's a caricature of himself.

Pitt? Good post RRich, and yup, it's nice to be genuinely optimistic about them winning - even when down late in a game. Hopefully they'll keep it going.

I think their take was that Lee didn't have full possession of the ball and then lost the ensuing wrestling match for it. As the ball never touched turf, it was a live ball - and by not gaining possession, Lee could not have been down by contact.

My thoughts exactly. Not only against the Raiders, but against the Jags too, they made huge 3-and-out stops when time was running out and the O needed the ball. Hats off to the D as a unit and to Stroud as a difference-maker against the run.

Are you saying that that his holdout hasn't adversely effected his on-field performance? Maybe, just maybe, had he had his fat arse in camp on time, he wouldn't need the 3 or 4 games to play at a "pro bowl caliber."

Aside from a few TBD tools who think of themselves as "experts," I was unaware of anybody who really understands football thinking Trent's arm was suspect....

Wow. Haven't heard him since the demise of Empire. Thanks Brad.

Bunches, just like after blackouts in NYC. I guess screwing in the dark is not a uniquely Buffalo trait?

That place was a trip. But I always had a strange craving for TV Dinners while in there. Weird...

Bringing down or bringing in? It's pushing a 20-25' storm surge - the earliest part of the surge has already shut off West End from the rest of the island - that seems to be the biggest concern. And then add to that the 10-15" of rain - rain that would flood West End anyway - and you'd have to be nuts to stay there.

@ StL - I'm sure they took all precautions. Granted, living without power for a while will suck for them (and for billfan63 and everybody else too), but from what I'm seeing, it sounds like they're not likely to get the worst of it - if that's any consolation. As for the previous storm, something like 100 died while trying to evac - many of them were seniors being evac'd on a tour bus that caught fire. @ billfan63 - Sounds like now it's just time time to sit and wait - and I can only imagine how much that's gotta' suck. Please let us know how you're making out and be sure to touch base when you can after this thing passes.

What is there to love about that?

Video is showing water splashing over the seawall and some impassible roads. Nat Weather Serv is now saying "people along the Gulf Coast need to be prepared for loss of life." And to think people want to hang around... A pic taken 12 hours before landfall (from KHOU-TV). They do know that West End floods in a good rain, don't they? WTF are they thinking?

Flipping back and forth between CNN and Weather Channel. Ike is big and mean - aided by the shallow waters of the Gulf. I don't have much family by blood still alive but my in-laws are down there - Tomball, Humble, Rye, and Cleveland. A bit ago CNN reported that the eyewall was going to pass just to the south of Galveston Bay and storm surge will be pushed right up the ship channel. I hope those people in areas like Channelview weren't lulled into a false sense of security because they are going to get slammed. Any of you guys and gals have family/friends down there?

They always come back. *sighs*

"Wow" is right. I guess you do what you gotta' do to get college kids to go to church

Cool. I hope you told them your brother was on the team!

Don't leave us hangin' like that, man. What's on your custom plate?

I knew this whole History teacher thing would be useful one day! Jamestown (est 1607) is the oldest continuously occupied English settlement. The Spanish were all over the place but our collective Anglo heritage discounts their exploration and accomplishments, like the founding of St Augustine (founded some 40 years earlier than Jamestown) because they were the Anglo's "bad guys". EDIT: I guess I should have scrolled down and seen that RJ already posted what I did

No link yet, but I imagine it will be on the TBD home page soon enough. If I should stumble across a link before that happens, I'll post it. EDIT: Found a link
