Fan in Chicago

While I hope what you are saying comes to pass with respect to OL nastiness, I worry that DJ is instilling a 'play fair' and 'play as gentlemen' philosophy in the players. Playing fair is fine, but if they want to play nice the players should take up tennis or cricket instead. On the football field, the game is played physically and psychologically and nothing like a couple of slams to the turf to gain an upper hand in the battle. If the middle of the OL is aggressive by nature, play that aspect up. Let them do their thing in intimidating their opponents - Wilfork or others. As with JP, don't try to make them play against their natural instincts.

I am interested in hearing your thoughts ...

But it tastes so much better with the butter and salt ! In India, the street vendors also serve it with lemon and red chili powder - take half a lemon and rub it against the corn, then sprinkle chili powder.

Man, that will be sooo sweet. Even though others have wished harm on Brady to compensate for that cheap shot (and Steely, I really don't think much about Wilfork's apology or his excuse for it), I held the belief that the nastiness from Bills players should be directed at the perp. Too early to tell but I am hopeful our OL builds up to the nasty force necessary to play ball in this conference.

Doesn't that cause an inherent conflict ? [EDIT: Steely beat me to the joke]

Nice !

Methinks Favre doesn't like training camps. Once the season is about to begin, Childress will again beg Favre who will grudgingly agree cos 'he loves the sport'

This has all the makings of an ieatcrayonz thread

Apparently a popular T-shirt in the Green Bay area is one with Favre's face surrounded by a Wisconsin map with the words "We will never forget you Brent"

- You don't see the face when a person is bent over - From above, all you see is a kneeling person's hair - When drunk, all chicks are beautiful (This thread is way too serious considering she filed a lawsuit and not a criminal complaint. )

Let's not go there please ..... As for your main subject, I read through the first page of the linked article and the case (if ever there will be one) appears weak. Google is dominating but that is because of the quality of their product and none of their actions seem to be in violation of any anti-trust laws. The Microsoft case was different where one of the complaints was the default installation of their browser and an apparent difficulty in uninstalling it. I fail to see the similarity and I struggle with the reasons for any upcoming federal action against them.

Just got a text that Nic Harris has signed. Didn't see this posted already.

Thanx, Steely. A kind soul will be mailing me an extra ticket he has. If I do not get it before I fly then I will just show up and hope for the best.

I already made this request in another thread but I am begging again - I am from Chicago but will be in the Buf area that weeekend. Would like to attend the Sunday July 26th practice at 2:15 pm. Called the Bills and they said I can only get the complimentary tickets at the Verizon stores in Rochester area. Called all the stores and was told they are only available for local pick-up ! How can I get my hands on one ticket ? Can I just show up and give the above story to be admitted without a ticket ? Please help guys !!

He is a loser. What's the argument ?

I will be visiting the area that weekend and would like to attend the practice session. I know complimentary tickets were available from some Verizon stores in the Rochester area but obviously I cannot go to pick them up. I called the Bills office and they say they don't have any and they were all given to their sponsors. Does anybody have a spare ticket they can mail me ? Thanx in advance.

Thanx. Hope it is up till this evening when I can check from home. Also, I hope the one you create for the 2009-10 season will be atleast thrice as long.

Then there definitely would not have been a controversy. So Fox would still be wrong.

(Sorry for the bump guys) I saw PE yesterday and thought it was a fantastic movie. The movie of the summer, for me, so far. Well directed, acted, written and shot. Re-affirms my faith in Depp after this caricature roles in Pirates of the Caribbean & Willie Wonka. Bale and Cotillard are also excellent.

Totally concur. I did buy a cul-de-sac house for the same reason and am really happy that March-October my kids are out a lot. I rather they hang out with their friends on the block than some place I don't know about. In any case, even if you are unhappy about too many kids around your house & don't want to move, shut the windows and/or close the blinds. Piping porno sounds to the street is idiotic besides being weird. I think he will find that his sudden loss of neighborly love would be worse than the irritation he had with a bunch of kids playing outside.

I have come to the conclusion that PCs owned by Mac lovers crash much more frequently than those owned by others. I have only owned PCs and cannot relate to all these stories about the OS 'crashing frequently'. I use Windows XP on my office computer, Vista on our main home computer and XP on our second home computer. Besides the fact that I hate Vista for its complexity, I have one of the three computers crash maybe once every 6 months. That is not too bad and certainly does not justify the price difference to go to a Mac. Heck, if my PCs crashed anywhere close to once a week, I would be in the market for an alternative. For that matter, most consumers might. The instability and clunkiness plus the customizability of Firefox led me away from IE and I have been very happy using Firefox on a PC. The PC ads are spot on - a majority of home consumers can get a PC with the features they need for far less than the cost of a Mac. I considered it during my last purchase and a full fledged desktop with LCD monitor was less expensive than a frigging Mac Mini. Beat up Microsoft for everything from reducing competition to slow innovation but one thing you cannot take away from them is their ability to bring the PC to the average home user and proliferate the computer as a necessary device.

TO has to reach farther than Parrish

No fear. If it is the Bills game you are watching, you will underthrow the TV.

I don't think any team is 'America's team'. Meaningless title and insulting to the other franchises which are as American as they come.
