SF Bills Fan

Gas prices have been so high out here in the Bay Area for years, there isn't too much room to go before we get to the point where the dissatisfied rumbling makes people take action. We haven't reached the serious pain level yet. Too many wealthy people can still afford $3.30 a gallon out here. Gas prices nationally have been so artificially propped up for the past few months that there isn't too much farther to go up now that something has really happened to cause a spike. If you want to hurt the oil companies, you don't pick one day and not buy gas, that makes no sense. You pick one specific company and boycott them. Like Chevron or Shell and then go out of your way not to buy gas from them. If one company feels the pain they will squeal and the industry as a whole will react.

Buffalo is a small market team if you look at it as just the city itself. When you factor in Rochester and the Ontario, then we have a much bigger fan base to draw from than many other cities. Then we are right up there with some of the teams considered to be medium markets like Seattle and Atlanta. We are at a much bigger advantage than Jax and New Orleans and some other teams that don't have the regional advantage. Guys like JJ and Snyder don't realize the sacrifice that the old line owners made so that all of the owners could field a team, be competitive and make money. If JJ wants a war, that is fine, he can run smaller teams out of the league and we can go to a 10 team league with NY, Chicago, New England, Detroit, Dallas, Houston, Philly, Washington, San Francisco and add in LA. Then the next TV contract will be for much less as people lose interest in most other parts of the country. Economically, the league will be unbalanced because of a lack of a cap and LA will play NY for the Super Bowl every year while Jerry wonders what went wrong.

Jerry is 100% correct here. The new rules will favor offense and we really needed Satan this year and we chose not to keep him. That signaled to me that we weren't going to be serious and contend this year.

I hate groups like this. You can pretty much imagine what the meeting went like when the group was put together. A bunch of music suits and marketing people throwing out ideas- "We need a black guy for credibility on the raps. We'll need a hot woman.... with more edge than Steffani. Let's get an asian! None has an asian! It doesn't matter who the 4th is. They all gotta be able to dance. Now, get that producer that did N'Syncs last and throw together the first single. I want heavy rotation in the big markets in a month. Let's go!"

These people should not be getting book deals or making money off of this.

I like Duffs, but I don't have Anchor's often, so it isn't fair to rate one or the other. I really like the ones at Gabriel's Gate.

The Chargers and the Eagles always seem to be loaded. The Cowboys are usually overrated. I haven't done my team by team evaluations yet, but I will and get back with my top picks.

Is the San Diego Bills Backer Group planning anything for the game down there this year? Has anyone bought any tickets for a large group? I will be coming down with a big group from San Francisco and I was wondering if we could get involved with the Bills Backers group there. thanks

My friend Chris who lives in San Diego is prominently featured in that photo. He is near the bottom, left-center his face is right in front of the upraised arm in the red jacket. That photo is huge in that bar and his head is huge on the wall and we always joke about that when we go through the airport.

I just got back from there last night. I was with my girl for her birthday so it was a more realzing trip than I'm normally used too in Vegas (with the guys). We went to dinner at the top of the Stratosphere. The meal was very good and the view was awesome. The base of the Stratosphere was a rinky dink mall, which was surprising. Once you are up there, it is great so I would totally recommend dinner at the top. The mall across from the Venetian was loaded with good shopping so I'm sure your wife will like it there. Check out the Wynn too, there is a really nice bar back in the middle of it and the place is brand new and has that buzz to it.

Sounds like a good guy. I am really excited to see hows things go this year. My gut feeling is that he will be a very good QB and lead us back into the playoffs.

I'd like to see those guys. Great band.

Awesome...a Bills fan on the supreme court. Maybe now we can get some calls to go our way.

Road House is a terrible movie in many ways, but it is quite likeable.

Agreed, great show.

Ah yes. Ohio...the heart of it all. I know Columbus very well.

Columbus, OH or GA?

My buddy saw Wedding Crashers on a free screening and said it's hilarious.

10 beers? Are you sure she was cute?

I'd move back to Buffalo if I could find a decent job there. I'm pretty sick of California. Too much for houses in San Francisco and it keeps going up. The average price is close to 600k and you get a piece of crap house for that. Traffic is terrible, and is going to get worse every year. There are a lot of people here that look down on people that live in places like Buffalo, but they are kidding themselves.

That is going on today in San Francisco? I didn't hear anything about it.

Philadelphia is live and so is London. They are flashing back to the artists that already played in London- U2, Coldplay etc. I think Floyd is later, so they will be live.

It just came on MTV here in San Francisco. It looks really cool. I just got chills seeing U2 and McCartney walk out and take the stage together.

I've heard good things. I wanted to go tonight, but missed the showing I wanted. I'll go Friday. I still need to see Batman and Land of the Dead
