I've held off from saying the same thing. I owned Dell laptops for over a decade, until last spring when I bought my first Apple. Yes they cost more, but the thing just seems much more stable. And the support is great, imho.

We used Apple a few years back to go to Iberostar in Punta Cana a few years back and loved it. There were definitely kids there, but most I think were European. It was early February when no school in the US is out on purpose.

I remember their 25th anniversary logos. Hard to believe I've rooted for them for the majority of their existence. The team stunk then, too.

Thanks, I really didn't need to hear that. That was a very well written article, or it at least expressed my feelings, well. I'm 38. My grandfather was a charter season ticket holder. My mother was at the AFL championship game. I first became infected in September of 1980 when they beat the fish and the goalposts came down in the opener. My parents took me to the Jets game the following week, and I was hooked. When I was 12 or 13, Knox first moved training camp to Fredonia, I was psyched! I'd stay with my grandparents, who lived about a mile from there. Then came the first tough years. Cribbs bolted to the USFL, Fergie left, Kelly went to the USFL, Perry friggin Tuttle (a little TE humor), and the Bills were a disaster. Everyone hated Wilson because he was too tight. Then came the Golden Age. I convinced myself that Wilson wasn't that bad. That opinion held until probably this year, although I started wondering about him when he hired Levy as GM. I am sad to say that the last few years I haven't invested as much emotionally until this year. I thought we were finally entering the "next" Golden Age. That's why this year hurts so badly. SDS at some point said he isn't so much a fan of the Bills. He said he was a fan of the fans of the Bills. That's where I am right now. I wish I could be more of a fan of the Bills. I just can't be Charlie Brown anymore. With Dick as coach, Lucy isn't even holding the ball down anymore before she pulls it away. It's time for Ralph to sell at least controlling interest in the team to insure the team stays in Buffalo. That may be the only thing that would get me truly excited about the team again outside of a division championship and deep run in the playoffs. Great thread, btw!

It's Hermey according to imdb. I just watched it with my kids. First time for them, and first time in 25+ years for me. Great stuff...

There's a guy I went to school with, named Dennis Abraham. He played center in high school, I played nose. If you are looking for an up and comer, he started with the Bills in the mid 90s, and followed John Butler to San Diego. He's Director of Pro Scouting for them according to their website. Given his rise in the Charger organization, he is going to be some team's GM soon.

Very interesting article... There is no question property tax rates are lower in Boston, and I pay less money in Boston's Metrowest than my parents in Brockport, for a comparable to slightly better property.

Yes you are. Your statement is the equivalent of, "Just kidding; But seriously." If you want to smear the board, stand up like a grown up and defend your position, or shut up.

The whole game is uploaded... I watched it. If only that had been a Superbowl game...

At this point, yes. The guy can run and block most of the time, but he can't catch. WRT what the coach is being paid, you point out the obvious. Jauron, if he were a good coach, would be paid on par with the average player. Ralph is the one constant in this organization over the last ten (should I put 50?) years. It's time for him to sell.

Well, said!

Sounds to me like our fearless leader will be on WBEN...

Nice post. I always thought growing up through the 80s really defined a true fan. Sadly, growing up through the aughts, it is probably even tougher to be a Bills fan.

Or you could just post it in the gameday thread. Just because the Bills s@#t the bed doesn't mean you should take a crap all over here. Keep it in the GDT... [/high horse]

Awesome!!! At least until the last sentence. "Coming in 2009."

Wow, I haven't seen that since it was live, and I was ten at the time. I even remember my parents turning down the TV and putting WBEN on. To answer the question, if Fergy wasn't hurt, yeah, I think we would have won that game. He threw 3 ints, and we still had trouble running the ball.

Definitely a Bills fan impersonating a Dolfan...

Crazy as it seems after last night, but the game in Denver really worries me. We never play well, there.

I like Carucci's "Break out the party balloons!"...

Even Bill takes a flyer here and there. The guy was going nowhere here, so the Bills made the best of it.

Thanks for the link. I played on an Akron team that used to get pummeled by both teams. I can remember wishing we had him as our coach...

Those high percentages may also have had to do with the scoreboard saying we needed to play catch-up...

I was just going to say (I typed it, canceled it, and read the new posts) that they'd have had a hard time with the Raiders since Fergy was playing on one leg, but wasn't sure my memory was correct. I was 10, and that was my first heartbreak, too...

I personally think we'd have had a better chance to win it all in 1988. If we hadn't wilted in the second half of that Cinci game, I've liked our chances against the 49ers. In 1989, we'd've still had to win in Mile High. That's always a dicey proposition. I totally agree. OK offense, great defense, clutch kicking and special teams. That line describes the Bills in 2008 (so far) and 1988.
