Bills 34 Browns 14

Bills 21 Eagles 17 Hey why not?????

Very Nice!! I remember when I moved and didn't have to take the damn R train from Bay Ridge anymore, my commute went from 45 -60 minutes to 25 - 30 minutes b/c the express bus. I felt like dancing a friggin jig I was so happy. Congrats!

I just checked out the video as well, she is still smokin hot, although on my computer it is a bit dark to see her face. The body is terrific tho. I'll vote for Tawny.

What about Mike Williams? Will he be OK for Cleveland??

I agree. The game that worries me the most is @ Cinci with Carson Palmer starting to really play well.

Well, I've been married for 2 years, and one thing the wife knows not to mess with is the Bills, especially the Bills in the playoffs. Already told her if we play at Pitt/NE, I'm there. Indy is more difficult b/c I have to buy a flight, but I'll try. She also knows that in the unlikely event the Bills ever make the SB, nothing that is happening in life, children/money etc., will prevent me from being at that game. Its all about setting the precedent early on and sticking with it.

Restoring ND to the National Championship picture on an annual basis would be extremely difficult, hence my post, that it is very hard to win at ND. It is easier at Florida (academic standards, florida talent etc.). Meyer had a chance to try for legend status and took the easier, safer choice. That probably tells you all you need to know about Urban Meyer as a person. I do know that this is ND's most important hire in a generation. There are a whole bunch of kids who do not even remember ND being relevant and if ND doesn't come back strong, they will fall further and further off the national stage. I want to see them winning and good, for selfish reasons, I'm a die hard Cane fan and want the rivalry renewed.

It won't. Some just have sour grapes. BTW - I'll give anyone 10 to 1 odds on the NE/Cle game this weekend. There is NO WAY Cle beats NE.

The deal is that if you win at Florida you are a great football coach, and its pretty easy to do. You win at ND, you're a legend and its not that easy to do. Bottom line....Meyer took the easy way out.

Butch Davis wouldn't be a bad choice, he rebuilt Miami into a power. The only problem is he might be too scarred from the NFL to be any good right now.

She's a Buffalo gal and wanted to stay in Buffalo.

Not even close. Read the other playoff scenario threads.

Win or lose, I just want to feel a playoff atmosphere at the Ralph once again. There hasn't been a playoff game at the Ralph since 1996. We haven't really played a do or die game at the Ralph in almost 10 years. I have my tickets and I hope I'm watching my 9-6 Bills beat the ever living stevestojan out of a full-strength Steeler team. Oh yes, we can and will win that game. Steelers ain't so good on the road. We will smack em down baby!! Too bad our victory will ensure the Patsies go to the SB, but so what!!

I hope the Texans beat the Jest. We can only dare to dream.

Amen. It scares me a lot. Mularkey needs to keep his team focused on the task at hand and not allow them to get all full of themselves. You know McGahee is gonna be jacked, the game is in his hometown. He needs to make sure the whole damn team is that focused.

I'm not sure about the Jest. They have 4 very difficult games coming up... JETS- 8-3 Houston Possible L, but a W b/c at home @Pittsburgh Definite L Seattle Possible L, Seattle is not as bad as they were yesterday New England Definite L @St. Louis Definite L Thats 10-6 if they win vs. Seattle, but if Seattle wins, then 9-7. I'm much more concerned about the Ravens. Do you guys honestly think Baltimore will lose to Cinci??? I think the Ravens get one slot for sure at 10-6, Denver collapses and we fight with the Jest for the other one.

And Bobby April, and Jerry Gray after halftime!!

But would they match a President/GM title for Pioli like Cleveland may offer? Thats a tough one to match.

What I'd like to know is whetehr Peter King spits or swallows after a session with Brady??? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/writ...b.te/index.html On second thought, I don't want to know.

Yes, I would consider it a successful season given the fact that we would have ended the year 10-2. Chalk up the Jax & Oak games to a new coaching staff/system etc., and you have the foundation for a terrific 05 season. You just have to hit the ground running.

This is true. So if you're going to be there when the pool is open, go for the hard rock and spring for the cabana. Very cool scene. If not, I'd agree with whoever said the Mirage.

29, Hard Rock. Stayed there 2 years ago for a BP and had a fantastic time.

There is another problem. The county budget must account for state and federal mandated programs, as well as local services. Now, according to Giambra, state and federal mandated programs accounted for 88% of the county budget. Thats absolutely obscene. Remove federal from the equation, and state mandated programs account for 80% of our budget. Now, the majority of the 80% is medicaid. Medicaid has been pushed from the state level to the county level. NYS has some of the most ridiculous medicaid laws in the USA. For example, a person must simply cross state lines to be eligible for medicaid. Secondly, as an example, an individual on medicaid may get their eyes checked 5x's/ year, which medicaid will cover. Now, both examples are completely ridiculous. Why NYS could not enact a residency requirement for medicaid recipients? Say two years? That would actually cut the cost of medicaid in NYS by 1/4, as the system will be unable to be taken advantage of by transient individuals. Secondly, cut medicaid services. Do people really their eyes checked 5x per year, absolutely not. Once is sufficient. There are many other examples of ridiculous cost overruns, such as I have just mentioned. However, if medicaid was reformed (and there are many good aspects to the program, but too many ridiculous portions of it), the state would save an astronomical amount of money. That would allow for a budget that focuses more on local services (snowplow, zoo, housing etc.). It appears that Giambra is telling the truth here. Personally, I think he should take a stand and tell Albany to shove it. But, what he is doing regarding forcing the issue with the "red" and "blue" budgets is actually a good thing, and hopefully, can lead to changes.
