The Senator

Remember The VW Thing?

A hoodie wouldn't hurt either, but the shades are a must - even though they're predicting rain, Dick's gotta wear the shades... GO BILLSSS!!!! REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!!

We'll allocate a half-hour time slot for your kind.

And they won their opener on Monday nite, save for McKelvin's late-game brain-sprain.

And I presume your way for the young guys to become 'experienced' is to sit on the bench and watch an inferior, less talented vet get beat? This young team is a dynasty in the making... GO BILLSSS!!!! REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!!

Right now they're predicting hi 60s w/showers in 12 mph winds at game time in O.P. (pretty much like winter in Palo Alto)... link ...so things look OK for Trent. And yeah, a light rain and the swirling winds inside the RWS bowl should benefit the Bills - even more so if this turns into a rushing contest. Statistically, I give the Bills a huge edge and expect Trent Edwards will swap places with Drew Brees in the QB rankings after this week... BuffTown Bills - 37 N'Awlins 'aints - 0 18 and 1 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!!

Which means nothing, other than a bunch of cajun talkin' gumbo eatin' fools are still betting too heavily on the 'aints! (Vegas makes their $$$ off the vig and adjusts the spread to keep the betting from going too heavily toward one team. I'll bet this is a 1 or 2 point spread - maybe even a 'pick 'em' game - by Sunday.) Listen to The Senator - take the home 'dog with the points, and bet the house... BuffTown Bills - 37 N'Awlins 'aints - 0 18 and 1 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!!

actually, i like the idea of no one drafting crabtree and seeing him in the cfl or ufl. what an idiot!

The cheatriettes* are through. Enjoy their* descent to the AFC cellar, as the Bills ascend to the top - the return to normalcy is what I call it. For the next few years, New Jersey's gonna be our biggest divisional nightmare. In the meantime, I 'll be taking immense glee in articles like these... On the Mark: *Pats' time has passed Tom Brady* declines comment on $1 million lawsuit GO BILLSSS!!! REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!!

Judging from the fact that the cheatriettes* are one last-minute Leodis McKelvin brain-sprain from being 0-2, I'd say yeah - maybe they do.

Hey, it's a long season - and maybe not the lost season many thought it would be - so nothing wrong with adding some depth across the entire O-line. Funny, what many thought would be the Bills 'Achilles Heel' this season - the O-Line - may turn out to be the biggest surprise! Clearly, the Bills have to be pleased with the play of the highly promising 2nd-year Demetrius Bell, especially after unloading the lazy lard-ass Jason Peters - who, at the exorbitantly over-payed price of 60M+, has continued his downward spiral by allowing 2 sacks in each of the Eagles first 2 games... GO BILLSSS!!! REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!!

I thought the Bills should have taken Oher as well, but glad I was wrong and that they took Maybin and then Wood with their two 1st-round picks. Clearly, the Bills (rightly) believed they solved their problems at left tackle by unloading the lazy lard-ass Jason Peters - who, at the exorbitantly over-payed price of 60M+, has continued his downward spiral allowing 2 sacks in each of the Eagles first 2 games - and replacing him with the highly promising 2nd-year Demetrius Bell. Looks like they're adding depth at both OT positions as well, with this week's signing of Jamon Meredith and Andre Ramsey. Funny, what many thought would be the Bills 'Achilles Heel' this season - the O-Line - may turn out to be the biggest surprise! GO BILLSSS!!! REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!!

Maybe they do - you should ask Turk Schonert.

They're just pissed that Russ Brandon unloaded that useless POS left tackle and a $60M+ contract on them for a first round pick that turned into Eric Wood! And, seeing as FatBoy Peters was credited with another 2 sacks-allowed against New Orleans (matching his week 1 performance against Carolina), he's right on pace to almost triple his 11.5 sacks-allowed last year, meaning... bell > peters (I know you make the Pro Bowl for leading the league in 11.5 sacks-allowed - does allowing 32 in a single season get you into the HOF? )

Indeed - people who make millions churning out one unwatchable piece of bilge after another inexplicably feel no shame in accusing insurance executives of being overpaid.

HAPPY NATAL ANNIVERSARIES!!! Cheers

lol is about right - great to see actual healthcare practitioners like 13 ('House') and Dr. Turk ('Scrubs') doing their best to enlighten the ignorant masses about the crucial issue of national healthcare - especially since most of us haven't even read the bill as thoroughly as they have And of course, having an intellectual heavyweight like Will Ferrell throwing his weight behind the cause can't hurt either , especially when it comes to discussing overpaid insurance execs - after all, who knows more about being overpaid than Ferrell... Will Farrell's pay: * Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006): $20,000,000 * Bewitched (2005): $20,000,000 * Kicking & Screaming (2005): $20,000,000

Interesting that they should talk "trash" - you might want to remind your family and friends that the now-ubiquitous paper-bag mask was originally conceived in New Orleans, as a cheap way to convey the implication that the 'aints are a walking pile of trash... In 1980, the Saints lost their first 14 games, prompting local media personality the late Bernard "Buddy D" Diliberto to advise Saints supporters to wear a simple paper grocery bag over their heads at the team's home games; many bags rendered the club's name as the "'Aints" rather than the "Saints." This had the advantages of being both cheap and carrying the implication of a walking pile of trash. It thus caught on immediately. The tradition will no doubt continue, in ever-evolving forms, for as long as the team and its fans endure. Which is to say: endlessly.

Yeah, but Chef was talking about the City. Generally, as you leave EssEff you can watch the thermometer go up as you cross the bridges into OakTown or Marin - by the time you get to Walnut Creek it's hot, Pleasanton is sweltering, and Livermore is scorching.

Yes late Sept/early Oct is your 'summer' - usually the hottest time of year out there.

Yeah, can't wait to break out those ice scrapers... link

Yeah, but it makes McKelvin's late-game brain-sprain sting a bit more - if the kid just went down, we'd be tied with New Jersey at 2-0 (both 1-0 in the division), while the cheatriettes* would be 0-2 facing undefeated Atlanta and the 0-2 dolphags headed west to San Diego. But hey, you can't 'un-ring' a bell... 18 and 1 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! REVERSE THE CURSE!!!!!

Distillation: Yeah, we'll watch some NFL games on TV if it's raining outside, but we'd rather ride our bikes or go to the beach, and don't really give a crap whether or not we have our own team. (Nothing wrong with that, mind you - I think that's pretty much how they feel in LA too. Some towns are just not NFL-worthy.)

Question: What happened to that knucklehead from j-ville that used to post daily taunts about the Bills leaving Buffalo? Can't remember his exact screen name, 'cause I pretty much thought he was a troll, but I don't see much from him lately.

So long. Mary - R.I.P.
