Yeah, right. You are not fooling us. If you really got married, what the hell are you doing posting on a message board? Shouldn't you be working on little DC Tom's? Oh, wait. The world does not need more of you. Scratch that...keep posting. Congrats anyway.

Optical mouse is the way to go. I have a travel size optical mouse, that I carry on the road with me. Less than $20, comes with a case and a USB to PS2 adapter (if you want a PS2 connection). It has been around the world with me several times, and has been great.

I thought the new server was supposed to take care of that?

How could I not share that place with you. Have you tried the Chimay (Purple Label) yet?

Nice logo. [/sarcasm]

Happy Anniversary Rich and Lisa!! Kristy and I have a little over a week until our Anniversary.

I usually don't bother with your stevestojan, but since you felt the overwhelming desire to respond to my post (you must be stalking me, since you responded to my post) I thought it was only right that I respond in turn. It is quite amusing to see you try to defend yourself. You have not been doing a very good job, but at least you are trying.

So, what you are telling me is that you don't care about people dying, and that you own nothing. How pathetic.

What the hell does that have to do with people dying or losing everything they own?

Well, when a hurricane is about to hit, some people think about the devistation it is going to cause, the potential for people dying or losing everything they own. Others think about how it is going to effect their party schedule and whether they are going to have their TV working. Just a matter of priorities.

Obviously, you are not realizing the fun I am having, watching you think that you are more important than you really are. Keep it up, S-hit. You are quite amusing. BTW, have you found your backbone yet? You seem to have lost it a while back.

But you could not think of that BEFORE you posted? A little slow, aren't you? Oh, noooooo. I am not cool like you. How will I ever sleep tonight?

S-hit: I want to place this bet. Bookie: No you don't. S-hit: Ok, I don't. Yup, true leadership.

Now I know that you have completely lost your mind. I make one reponse to your post, and you automatically think that I am stalking you? Grow up, man. Start acting like an adult. I couldn't care less if you said the Bills were going to lose. If you would stop posting so much, and start actually reading the posts, you would realize that I was only addressing the 180 of wanting to make a solid bet against the Bills to saying that you would never bet against the Bills in a matter of 16 friggin minutes. Read more, post less.

If it is such a solid bet (as you mentioned in your original post), and you wanted to place the bet, why the hell did you backtrack and say that you would never bet against the Bills? 16 friggin minutes to do a 180. Nice backbone there, Sparky. Just an FYI for you. If you want to pretend to be a leader, you actually need to show some semblence of leadership qualities.

Fan club? Someone is overvaluing their importance in my life. Why the hell would I care at all about you?

You are not trying to imply that he was posting a T-Bag type "please pay attention to me" thread, were you? If so, you are a real a-hole.

It was 16 friggin minutes before he backtracked.

Damn, that was a quick reversal.

Yes, the Buffalo Bisons/Bills of 1946-1949. They were members of the AAFC. WNY also had teams in the AFL of 1936 and 1937, and the AFL of 1940 and 1941.

Point taken.

Hell, at one time, I could recite the entire history of the Kardex Company, through all the mergers and buy-outs, to its present day form. I did that, because I was writing about the 1921 team, and was going to contact the company to see if they had info. I really need to find other hobbies. BTW, have you seen the WNY PFRA site yet? It is under construction but will be pretty good once I have time to complete it. I will be combining stuff from my various history sites into one massive site.

It is too bad the team sucked in 1926.

Just to add a few notes to Rock's excellent summary: -Rock is correct about the meeting before 9/17/1920. At the first meeting, the league was named the APFC (American Professional Football Conference). It was changed to APFA at the 9/17 meeting, and that is how it stayed until 1922 when it became the NFL. -Buffalo applied for a franchise in 1920, but there are no records stating that Buffalo was OFFICIALLY admitted in 1920. Since they played against APFA members, their record is commonly accepted in the standings. -Buffalo thought that they were APFA champions in 1921, but lost a tie-breaker to Chicago. When Buffalo ended their season, they played "exhibition" games against Akron and Chicago. They lost to Chicago, the day after playing Akron. Commonly accepted league rules at the time, weighed the second game played against an opponent greater than the first. Buffalo won the first game. The "exhibition" games counted in the final standings, because the league did not have an official end date. Therefore, Chicago wins the tie-breaker, as a result of winning the second game. There are a lot of interesting tidbits from that season, but that would take up too much bandwidth. -The Tonawanda Kardex was also referred to as All-Tonawanda in the local media. They had 3 games scheduled in 1921: 10/9/1921 Tonawanda 0 At All-Syracuse 0 10/30/1921 Tonawanda @ Rochester Scalpers (Cancelled) 11/6/1921 Tonawanda 0 At Rochester Jeffersons 45 -The Rochester Jeffersons started as a sandlot team in 1905. Leo Lyons joined the team in 1908, and gradually changed the team from amateur, to semi-pro, to pro. The team dissolved in 1925. -Buffalo's teams in the 1920's went by several different names: 1920-1923 Buffalo All-Americans 1924-1925 Buffalo Bisons 1926 Buffalo Rangers 1927, 1929 Buffalo Bisons God, I love this stuff. Thanks, Rock, for keeping this stuff alive. The sad part about this post, is I was able to do this from memory.

He did.
