Yeah, why the hell not, eh? I agree. Go Bills. Look at it this way, if they do better than the piss-poor job they did this year, its' a pleasant surprise.

You guys ever wonder if the reason these coaches aren't interested is because we're freaking them the hell out? Airport mileage from his house and flight tracking? Jodie Foster is sure to be impressed.

You know, like it or not, it's the NFL's property and they can charge what they want and restrict who they want. No amount of wanting it to be different is going to help. The only thing that's going to cause the NFL to make the options more widespread or affordable? It has to work for them financially. I'd love to just buy the Bills games each week, but then I'd only pay a fraction of what I would for the entire Sunday Ticket package. Sure, some guys (like me) won't fork over the $$ for ST, but overall people do. Allowing per-game viewing or alternative methods would undercut that ST revenue.

thurmanthomas : Shanahan!!!!!!! Is he serious?

I turned on a LV game about a week ago to see JP play. I kid you not. On the only snap I watched, he fumbled the ball on the snap and had to dive to the ground to cover it. He lost about 7 yards on the play. That said, the first thought I had was "is this a practice?" because there were so few people in the stands. I had to rationalize that out. You know. Why would they practice against each other in a stadium? The XFL had better attendance!

Sounds like a great coaching candidate.

With the raging fans, this is probably correct.

Yup, they were pretty cool back in 'the day.' I think I had built a couple sites using them as well. It's really run it's course, though, as there are better alternatives these days. Lots of the big boom names are gone. Netscape, GeoCities, Netcom, Digex... Ha, I was at a startup that went public and made the owner millions upon millions when all of that went down, sixth employee. Out of this I got one thing. The knowledge that I should never trust the owner of a startup when he's making millions!

The same argument has come up every year since Marv left.

You know, maybe what's his tool was right about Jauron keeping it too constrained...?

TB's got too much time.

One common line of thought is that all of the Superbowl era players need to swoop in and set things straight. You know, come in and right the wrongs and all that. I tend to think that's total wishful thinking and not very realistic. Until we stop this ridiculous carousel of coaches, coordinators, and QBs, this is about as good as it gets. Last year Edwards was a later round gem that was going to finally be our QB. This year we're already planning his demise and hunting the next savior. If Edwards tanks, Fitz is not going to step in and lead the team to glory. If we're already planning and anticipating that, the season is already a waste.

Is anyone watching this? I just put it on 97rock.com and it sounds god awful....

Bah, GR has a freaking NASCAR pregame show on.

Do they play the games or something like ESPN Radio during that time slot? I usually wind up doing the NFL field pass for the regular season.

NFL network is blacked the hell out here... "not available in your area." What gives?

Eh... probably not so much. If I hear of some accomplishment in passing, well then good for him. Otherwise, he'll go into the same pile as the vast majority of ex-Buffalo players.

Little antidote.. My GA wife has almost become a total Buffalonian. After my second daughter was born.. I'm talking just born -- like 30 minutes old -- she made me drive up to the local Buffalo owned restaurant and get her a big Beef on Weck. She chowed that bastard down right in the delivery room.

But, it's cash only, so make sure you bring some!! Get the big one, too... My GA born wife makes me drive out there to get her a Beef on Weck every time we're in Buff. We've talked about moving back up there and, if and when we do, she's dead set on EA for two reasons... Bar Bill & family down the road.

92 here as well.. 95 tomorrow... 93 Sunday.. blah blah blah. GA actually had a small spring this year, it didn't just go from "kind of cold" to "damn hot" over night. It seems like it's made up for it over the past two weeks, though. I actually brought my daughters' plastic slide *indoors* this week so they can use it!

My theory is that as congestion grows, as does aggressiveness. It has nothing to do with the people themselves. After you've been suck in traffic for 45 minutes, you pretty much hate everyone and just want to get to where you're going. Most of the cities listed are known for their rush-hour suck. Hell, I had an hour and fifteen minute drive home yesterday and I left at 4:00 PM.

A buddy and I are about halfway through a website monitoring application that we hope to use to bring in a few extra bucks. Nothing too fancy. Basic up/down alerts and trending and all that. A side income supplement really. Does anyone own or run a business where they take credit cards? I understand the SMB finances, I just can't find anything that tells me all of the fees and accounts and all that I'll need to have. Gateway, merchant account... card affiliation fees?

Not even close. Five years and he's out in 18 - 24 months with the rest of the sentence reduced to probation or house-arrest with the caveat that he attends court ordered psych. sessions. Edit: He needs to be punished. Forget about the dead cats and the animal lover emotions for a minute and think about what that would do to that community. Some lunatic is gutting pets and ensuring the owners find them like that? Sounds like a deliberate attempt to cause fear and not "just" a whack job situation. Life though? Eh. I don't know about that one. Edit #2: Would an 18 year old kid think of it like that? Probably not.

Is Six Flags a public company?

Well, if you install a program called "WTFLOLZFreeMUSICANDTITS.exe", you deserve whatever comes your way!
