  1. I didn't know that the Buffalo Braves got back together.
  2. I would guess the top camera crews, etc. are already set up down there and CBS doesn't want to show a regional quality staffed game as national.
  3. It's not like the first play is going to be a pass to Reed. Evans will be coming in on 3 wide sets and Reed moves to the slot. Evans will be getting plenty of plays. The term "starter" doesn't mean too much nowadays.
  4. And for all we know Denney might even end up playing more plays then Kelsay does in the game. I would guess that Kelsay had a better practice week which is why he gets the start.
  5. 5 year extension- good through 2009 season. But for only 9 million guaranteed money for a decent enough DE that is a good deal in todays NFL. Pat Williams will be next to sign - should be the easier of the 2 remaining to get signed.
  6. MSNBC staff and news service reports Updated: 12:34 p.m. ET Sept. 8, 2004DUGWAY PROVING GROUND, Utah - A space capsule holding atoms collected from solar wind fell to a Rosen landing on Earth Wednesday after its parachute failed. A pair of helicopters helmed by stunt pilots had been ready to help snatch the refrigerator-sized Genesis capsule’s parachute with a hook during its descent. But there was no sign that the parachute opened, and video from the scene showed the 400-pound capsule buried in the ground at the military Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. The capsule broke open on impact. It was not yet clear whether the $260 million Genesis mission was ruined. Choreographed return to Earth Genesis had been moving in tandem with Earth outside its magnetic shield on three orbits of the sun. It picked up speed rapidly as Earth’s gravitational pull brought it closer, reaching velocities of 25,000 mph or 11 kilometers per second. The capsule's descent was then slowed somewhat by atmospheric re-entry. That’s when the parachute and the helicopters were supposed to take over. Both Cliff Fleming, the lead helicopter pilot, and backup pilot Dan Rudert had years of experience as Hollywood stunt pilots, and they replicated the retrieval in dozens of practice runs over a five-year period. But because the parachute never opened, they never had a chance to snag the capsule. The fragile disks holding the atoms could be shattered. “We’re going to get the pieces out,” said Roger Wiens, a payload leader for Los Alamos National Laboratory. “It’s going to be a lot tougher to sort out the pieces of broken material.” Inspection ahead The capsule was to be packed up and eventually driven with a convoy of armed guards to Houston’s Johnson Space Center in a truck. If the package survived, the solar particles — a storehouse of 99 percent of all the material in our solar system — would be parceled out for analysis to the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Chicago’s Argonne National Lab. The Genesis mission, launched in 2001, marked the first time NASA has collected and returned any objects from farther than the moon, said Roy Haggard, Genesis’ flight operations chief and chief executive officer of Vertigo Inc., which designed the capture system. Together, the charged atoms captured over 884 days on the capsule’s disks of gold, sapphire, diamond and silicone are no bigger than a few grains of salt, but if the samples survived, that would be still be enough to help reconstruct the chemical origin of the sun and its family of planets, scientists say. This report includes information from The Associated Press and NBC News.
  7. I can see that happening. Drew will still be #1 next year with JP the solid #2 after getting some practice time and mop-up duty at the end of this year. The the team can pick up St. Pierre as the #3 for next season with the idea of him moving up to backup JP after that.
  8. I'm fine with the Bills letting Travis do most of the running and then bringing MaGahee in at the goalline. And come game 12 of the season when Travis has some cracked ribs or broken leg the Bills will be able to give him some rest and MaGahee should be in much better form by then.
  9. Now remember - that means to put the beer INTO the coolers - not take it all out.
  10. The CEO was probably forced to cut short his Bahama vacation.
  11. Garbages plates for everyone - Surfmeister's buying! Way to go!
  12. Go send your mother a thankyou card - she's the one that did all the work on your birthday.
  13. He'll get an even better exchange rate then he did by living in Toronto.
  14. Global warming does not mean it gets hotter everywhere in the world. What it does do is create more extreme weather - some areas will be hotter, some colder, some wetter, etc. The farmers almanac is predicting heavy precipitation and dramatic temperature swings this coming winter for the Northeast US.
  15. I laugh at TMQ's take on the Bills colors - the Bills never wore flag colors. Show me where the Bills colors were ever said to be Old Glory Blue. Royal Blue sure. Actually I think their new blue is closer to flag blue then before.
  16. I thought it was because he liked to celebrate Dyngus Day.
  17. The Bills should just cut all of the other QBs and just keep Drew. That will open up an additional 3 spots on the roster!
  18. If Losman stayed healthy then he would have been the backup to Drew. Zolman would be cut no matter in all cases. He probably would have been signed to the practice squad but now with 4 QBs on the roster they will use that PS spot for another position.
  19. It's nice to see that the most hated opponents can come together for a good cause.
  20. People always get sick after a vacation - either due to the vacation or due to the coming back from one (especially from breathing airplane "air".)
