  1. I agree with you. But, I'll still buy Willis home & away. Its the cane fan in me. I always loved him in college, but refused to buy the awful Bills jersey. Now I can!!
  2. I just hope they come out with the away as well.
  3. 1) Why did you move out of Buffalo? Moved in 00 for a job 2) Where did you go? New York City 3) How does your new home compare to Buffalo? Much less home for much more money. 4) If the econonmy and job market were stable would you move back? In a NY minute, I miss the regional flavor of Buffalo, the familiar customs, freindly people, cheaper cost of living etc. 5) What suggestions to you have to improve the quality of life here? Better gov't, lower taxes.
  4. Those are AWESOME!!!!! Nice Job Bills!!! Now, bring them back as permanent and we're talking. BTW - Since we are wearing them twice this year, vs. Hous and @ SD, I expect a road throwback is coming out as well.
  5. How could he have killed Padme? The only possible way is with the midicholrian manipulation. And if he is that strong in the force, then how could he have not sensed that Padme had already given birth to twins, both very strong in the force? I don't think that he did kill Padme. I think the assumption has to be that because Anakin turned, she died of a broken heart. Thats what Lucas wanted us to believe. My point is that it doesn't fit at all with her character from I and II. The Padme from I and II would have used the twins to turn Anakin back.
  6. But how could Sidious have killed her? He had no knowledge of luke and leia as demonstrated in IV-VI. I think Phlegous created Anankin to replace Sidious, Sidious found out about it and killed him. Sidious did not learn how to use the force to mess with the midichlorians, else luke and leia would never have happened. Also, Padme proved in I and II that she was a fighter. She would not just give up, she'd fight for Anakin, using the twins to turn him back. I thought that her death "Perfectly healthy and losing the will to live" was teribly done. That was the pivotal fulcrum for the whole story and I thinbk he blew it. The rest of the storytelling was awesome, the effects awesome. The movie itself, terrific. But c'mon, you can't blow the essential climax of the first 3 movies. What does everyone else think? Am I missing something?
  7. Just saw the movie and really liked it. The only thing.... How could Padme "Lose the will to live" when she was just shown two beautiful babies? I thought that was very disingenous and left a hole. Maybe I need to see it again, but even if Anakin broke her heart, you'd think the babies would be used by her to try and turn anankin back. I think that was poor storytelling.
  8. Re0build the towers, but one floor higher. A big F---Off!!
  9. Hmmmm.....good question.... The Bills of 1987-1996 were truly a special team, and have a special place in my heart. They were much more than just a football team to me. The years produced amazing, exhilarating football, games that I vividly recall and fondly watch on vidotape. The whole city came ALIVE during the season. There was optimism and passion everwhere for the Bills, and it spilled over into everyday life. Those Bills captured the imagination of the city and their resiliency to keep getting back up after being knocked down and try again reflected the mentality of the region and its people. To keep going in the face of adversity and multiple crushing defeats, led to a hope and belief in oneself. Whenever I need a bit of insipration or think I can't do something, I imagine being down 35-3 in the third quarter of a playoff game and keep on plugging, knowing I can still win 41-38. As far as the losses, yeah, I would've loved to see them win just one, the last one. After everything they had been through, and the persistence they demonstrated, it would have been terrific to have a Hollywood ending. Someday the Bills will win a Bowl, and I'll cheer and party like crazy. But it would be just tad bit sweeter, if the QB was named Kelly, the RB Thurman, the WRs Beebe and Reed, the C Hull, the defensive players Talley, Smith and Bennett, and especially, the coach Levy. So, to conclude a long winded answer, I look back with love in my heart, absolute fondness for a time that can never be recaptured. Also, with just a touch of regret, because when we do win one, the players that gave us so much, won't be the ones hoisting the Lombardi.
  10. My sig line says it all. I have refused to purchase the new jerseys (home or road). They're awful. I am hoping that the new jersey is a true "throwback" with helmets. If so, I will then purchase a jersey.
  11. It "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake, one of my favs. Also... Land of Confusion - Genesis Girls, Girls, Girls - Motley Crue Right Now - Van Halen and that Peter Gabriel video with the claymation
  12. Not even a question. Absolutely. With proper training and an experienced guide, you try to minimize the risk as much as possible, tho it will always be there.
  13. Darin- That was funny. Check out this site as well, absolutely hysterical. http://www.rupissed.com/hangoverintensity.html
  14. Thats pretty cool. I miss hockey.
  15. Posts like this make me keep coming back to TBD everyday to read this board.
  16. Man, I guess Shelton was really a bad player. I don't know much about him, but for TD to have absolutely no interest in a LT with starting experience signed to a cap friendly deal, whose cousin is already on the team and is a team leader and hard worker, man Shelton must have rubbed someone the wrong way.
  17. W - Sep 11 Houston L - Sep 18 @Tampa Bay W - Sep 25 Atlanta W - Oct 2 @New Orleans W - Oct 9 Miami W - Oct 16 N.Y.

Jets 10 - 6, Playoffs?
  18. There are many rumors. But whatever really happened, I wish Nolan luck and hope he makes it back to the NHL. He really was a terrific coach and the Sabres really played hard for him.
  19. TH & a 2nd in 06 for Haynesworth....I like it!!
  20. I agree we did very well. I think 3 years from now we will have 4 starters from this draft (Parrish, Everett, Geisinger & Preston) which considering the weakness of the draft is a damn good job. I just wish we had a LT :-(
  21. And I'm still not sold on Ron Edwards. LT and DT. Anthony Bryant was available.
  22. Labatt - Any deal for TH?
