Been meaning to get over here ever since I found out about this thread, but it's been a long week, as y'all can imagine. A long year, for that matter. It hurt like hell to say goodbye, but there comes a point when all you can do is wish someone an peaceful end to their suffering. Thanks for all of your kind words, with special thoughts to SDS, who just went through the same heartache with his own mother. Cancer sucks.

You know, I was sitting here wondering whether or not I should keep bothering to slap together the previews. Between this and some of your previous cheapshots at a friend of mine, thanks for making my decision for me. !@#$ it. Later.

Which is precisely why the owner of this site issued a point of emphasis on this topic earlier this year:

I'd like to think that after 12 years and with more than 10,000 registered users, The Stadium Wall would qualify as successful. And since you were replying to me, I've been here (and on several other boards) since the mid-'90s. To think that anyone deserves to be attacked merely because of their job description is what seems foolish to me. As for John and Tim "choosing" to post under their own names, using a pseudonym to write about a subject they cover is simply not an option. It would be unethical at best -- and in fact, under the current ESPN social-media policy, it might be a fireable offense.

1. Wawrow is not a columnist, and doesn't write opinion pieces. 2. There's a difference between legitimate criticism and personal attacks. 3. The latter are prohibited in the TBD Terms of Service, which some people choose to ignore. Over 20 has it right: why bother continuing to participate?

That was my line about Bentley, not Badol's, ya galoot. Good seeing both you and Kevin, as always. (He probably appreciated me not trying to monopolize his day with shoptalk this time. )

Just hope he understands that after THIRTEEN YEARS (and counting) without a home playoff game, our patience has long since worn threadbare.

So if it's going to take three more years to rebuild, he's cool with me dumping my season tix till then, right? Thanks for the heads-up, jw. Look forward to reading the full story sted the brief.

...in 2008.

Laggard. Seeya there.

Let's see: Russ Brandon is still in the Bills front office (although with a vastly reduced role), and I believe Dick Jauron is now the DBs coach in Philadelphia. You were talking about the gentlemen who actually decided to trade one player and release the other, weren't you?

It was set up because multiple writers requested to speak to him Wednesday morning. Sullivan's take from his ongoing chat: http://blogs.buffalonews.com/sully_on_sports/2010/10/live-chat-with-sully-1.html
