In the forties the bears ? beat Washington 73- 0. Spammy Baugh was asked if a sure td was dropped during the games and would it have made a difference? Slinging Sammy replied". Why yes the score would have been 73-6!

Direct attack is clear...but imminent threat is open to interpretation...Grenada had a plausible side to it such that Americans were in danger. This was a convenient but nonetheless valid excuse given the Mid East is under seige. I quite agree that it is ignored and the War Powers Act is not only unconstitutional but also bad law poorly written

1. When was the above known? 2. If "discovered after invasion" what is to be done? How does one extricate an Army? If the only salable excuse is WMD in Iraq then how does one explain Libya? 3. If oil is not a justifiable reason even though it is material sine qua non of industrial/post industrial well being. How is the Act abused? It is law, democratically arrived at, and if it is unconstitutional the Prez has more power and less need to seek Congress which still has authority to defund but rarely uses such.

No. You have indisputable .knowledge of your phones existenc. My word choice- indisputable- was based upon the mistaken assumption that even those who professed WMD existed in Iraq have largely recanted.

Breakfast of Champions is not lead paint chips

It is indisputably true that WMD's were not present in Iraq when Iraq was invaded. It is also true that such disparate stakeholders, from Israeli to Russian to Islamic interests, believed and/or purported to believe that WMD's were present. In short a scenario Oliver Stone would find worthy of film-epic. When they knew that what they thought to be true was in fact not true is when a lie begins. ,

If you insist on defending the indefensible... lie ...your admission of O's shortcomings damns your attempt at apologetics

only player on 1967 and 1972 was john pitts

Spot on. I recall hearing a commentator, ESPN methinks, who remarked that Urban Meyer took the Florida job over ND (which everyone knew was his dream job and life long pursuit) because the commentator opined that at Florida the football coach could get plant life admitted.

I seem to remember a game in early days at which George Saimes made a game saving tackle in a very important contest.. I think it was on a Jets 4th down try. I imagine that the quality of the video may be the reson it was not chosen. Now that I am in my dotage I need help filling in the blanks.

It appears that there are a number of rookies this year who need inspection at first or near first team exposure. Wise teams should try to determine whether a rookie justifies playing time. Bring that guy along and find out what level he demonstrates he cannot, cannot handle. Maybin is ideal because he can be inserted situationally, 3rd down and other passing situations. Wood imho has proven ready. Levitre is not as accomplished but has to learn and so should play so as to learn. In no particular order Harris, Lankster, Nelson et al have looked good. The "extra" pre season game is a God send. Now let us see how they do against opposing first units.

a la Dan Brown?

Why do so many worry about what self proclaimed experts believe? The game will be played on Sunday. It will take care of itself. I guess though the Bills get little relative respect because we are a small market. When in doubt , if you are an "expert , ingratiate yourself to bigger markets whenever a speculative pick is necessary.

"Fandemonium"....hardly original - it was coined , of course, by Van Miller who was voice of the franchjse for 5(?) decades- approximately the amount of time it took me to graduate Fisher 9decades

Obviously I am biased...so I'll sugest the Red Sox. The ownership is first rate. John Henry is a muti-billionaire who believes in prudent investment- he hedges his bets - and reinvests in facility, draft and player development. Tom Werner is a Hollywood tv and movie mogul who understands value of stars and ceremony and Larry Lucchino is the baseball man. They are ably supported by a first rate GM in Theo Epstein. Jed Hoyer runs their draft- all 4!, count em 4 2005 first round picks ( Ellsbury, Hansen, Lowrie and Buchholz) are or have been on big club this season. Masterson and Bowden( 2006) loom not too distantly. Red Sox are rated 4th best Minor League prospects - not counting youngsters on the team now! Fenway Park is a destination draw and is no longer just quaint but also increasingly more user friendly. The Red Sox currently have highest per seat price but the season is repeatedly sold out. This season they will break Indians record for consecutive sell outs- somewhere around 450 straight
