I'll probably get killed for this post, but here goes. I haven't driven after drinking in about 8 years. Still think about how lucky I am to not have done anything that I would have to live with the rest of my life - and in turn ruining another family's lives. That's said, when I did think I was "invincible" (see: I was a !@#$ing idiot) I never, ever went over the speed limit. I knew I had been drinking, so, as much as I could I would obey the law to the best of my idiotic ability. I just cannot understand why anyone would ever drink and drive and then travel, as is being reported here, "at a high rate of speed." That's all I got on this one. Tragedy that happens all too often. I guess this could turn political in that the actual fine/punishment for a "first" DUI is absurdly light, but I'll leave that to the PPP folks. Thoughts out to the deceased.

I literally **** my pants when this happened. Mind you, I was 10 months old, but still.

Why the hell is THIS pinned? There's about 6 pinned threads that this same question could be asked about. What the hell is going on here?

Why the hell is this pinned?

You're right. It's not like every weekend the wife and I visit the capital building. But on the other hand we do hop on the metro every weekend and get off at one of 6 stops and find some new restaurant or wine bar. Each stop, from DuPont Circle, to Bethesda, to Adams Morgan, to Chinatown/MetroCenter, etc, etc, have more to do than I've ever done in Buffalo. Outside of that, the several (a dozen or more) Smithsonian museums are something that you could do once a month or more for certain. I'm not arguing with the points made by folks like Gordio, but he admittedly says CULTURE is not something he's into. For me, that's way more than museums and art. It's being able to hop on the metro, find a hundred year old bar that serves the worlds best tater tots hand made every week by one woman (yes, tater tots) and the next week be able to eat a steak made by one of the best chefs in the country, and the next week go to the Spy Museum. Now, DC is unique, but most big cities allow you to experience more than buffalo does. And the one thing I cannot STAND, and in not sure this applies to anyone here, is those that market buffalo as one of the greatest cities ever, yet have never lived anywhere else. My sisters are a prime example of this.

I will say DC is not where I'll stay permently, and I have a pretty sweet set up. I actually live I Chevy Chase MD, a block from the DC line. My place is 50 yards from the friendship heights metro stop and I literally work across the street. But while I'm here I'm taking advantage of what a real city looks like. There are parts of DC you shouldn't go, and I don't. The traffic is beyond bad, but again I walk to work and I can actually get to the metro station through my apartment complex. But I've lived in West Palm Beach, FL, Tucson, Arizona, and Virginia Beach. Every time I go home to Buffalo to visit, I'm more convinced that I'll never go back. And yes, Tucson, as awful as that place is, at least has beautiful weather 10 months of the year. July and August are unbearable but everything is air conditioned. I hated Tucson, but Buffalo doesn't have much on it.

Every video of Buffalo like this shows city hall, Shea's, an an arial shot of Delaware park. Over and over. They're right. All other cities are the same. Like my current city. There's the Washington monument, the White House, and the Vietnam Memorial in every city. Oh and Bethesda Row which has more nice bars and restaurants that all of Buffalo - minus everything being deep fried. I love Buffalo because its my original home and my family lives there - but let's quit kidding ourselves.

Can't have an improbable comeback without time.

Sanchez benched after 3 picks. Ponder for MN is 5/13 for 36 yards and 2 ints.

This O has been playing NFL caliber teams all year. Unlike today.

I paid $250 for Sunday Ticket mobile. I'm busy catching up on Sons of Anarchy. !@#$ this team.

For all those asking "What is he supposed to say?", the answer is either: 1) NOTHING. or 2) since our QB !@#$ing loses us games, maybe let the fan base know "we are looking at all options." I understand we don't have a ton of current options but say SOMETHING other than he is your guy for the FUTURE!!?!? !@#$ us.

How in the name of adolescent Jesus did we lose to the Jets?

That happened in real life?

Married into an ND family. Went to first big college game today, in South Bend. The whole ND experience was incredible. They handily beat Wake, as expected. Then came Baylor??? Amazing. But Stanford, too??? I thought for sure my Bills fandom would bring a curse to this team. They fought through it.... to #1!

CJ Spiller shouldn't be on the field when we need a touchdown.

I'm 2 doubles of Makers Mark deep and I'm sitting in an airport. LETS GO BILLS. oh wait, I always drink makers mark at the airport. Bills game? Great.

Thursdays game? How about 4 weeks ago.

This. I do agree with OP if the clock was stopped anyway. Maybe I'm missing something but on an incomplete pass not sure what one gains from faking an injury. Well, I guess on defense you could give your team time to adjust to a no huddle. I'm torn on this one.

Yeah, in watching the replay on that second fumble it looks like he was out cold as soon as he got hit. Arms to his side, didn't move.

Maybe to ran the wrong route. But the defender was STANDING RIGHT THERE! I understand timing patterns but for !@#$ sake we all knew Fitz would blow it. !@#$ing loser.

Worst episode of the series last night.

Mr Ryan, thank you for your tiny blip on the timeline of American politics.
