Was he thrown to even once before that TD drive? I don't think he was, but I can't remember for sure. I might feel better about him being a weapon that can no longer be ignored if they actually threw the ball to him a little more.

What seems to be lost in the discussion is that the defense did their part in this decision. They got the ball back into the Bills' hands as quickly as possible. The ultimate factor in whether or not any strategy was going to be successful was whether or not the offense could get it done. They ran 7 plays in those last 2 minutes and gained what, about 6 yards? That clearly wasn't going to get it done. Whether or not people agree with this decision, it had absolutely no impact on the results of the game (unless you're a betting man).

Then there's also very good possibility that Miami winds up with 7 if the Bills screw up on that 4th down play. If we're going to break down that chances down there, we have to list everything.

If we're going to play that game, we might as well also mention that the scoreboard most likely would have looked different if the refs hadn't mysteriously ignored the PI on that bomb to Evans.

If they follow your suggestion, they lose the time it takes to run that entire play. By snapping it out of bounds, they lost maybe 1 second.

Before anyone complains about that throwback, wait until you see their poor plans for the name plates.

Are the dates in EiI's link from before or after some of those jokes started happening? If this new idiot latched onto them after that, I wouldn't be so sure it's proven. But anyway, in my idea world, the press would never mention any of these idiots ever again and they'd disappear. Of course, in my idea world, the Bills would go 18-0 this year (yeah, they'd play 2 extra games just for the commish) and then sweep through the playoffs, never allowing a single point.

I know a few disagreed with me when I said that we need to stop giving attention to media whores because their ideas will spread, but what you just posted (wikipedia obviously not being the greatest of sources) backs up that thought.

The script blue jersey is a one year thing for the 40th anniversary. That new white will join last year's 3rd jersey (the original logo) as the primary jerseys for the team. I guess it's possible that the script jersey sticks around longer, but the original plan that had been floating around the internet for a while now is the one year deal.

If I had created the poll I wouldn't have even included "yes" as an option. It's gotten to the point where losing to the Pats has joined death and taxes. I won't believe beating them can happen until it actually does.

This isn't the NCAA. Until they start seeding the playoffs based on power rankings, they mean absolutely nothing.

And there's the one other big possibility that you left out, injury.

Maybe it's my ancient browser here at work, but I'm just getting the standard page. I'll have to check this from home later.

I'm guessing they have a pre-weighed plate. Then they put everything back on after the contest and weigh it again.

They mean as much as power rankings at any other point in the season.

They judge that contest based on the weight eaten, so the wing count doesn't mean a thing.

I remember hearing a great interview with him and Shred and Ragan a year or two ago where he was talking about all he's learned from his cancer scare. It just figures that he winds up in an accident like this.

Actually, from reading these movie threads I get the impression that I'm one of the younger people posting. But anyway, what I meant with that comment was that the movie and it's ads made it seem like the target audience was the high school crowd. I may very well have been wrong, but I never saw what the appeal of that movie was.

I like when people present a question and then immediately answer it.

Sweet, I just saw a new weather report that says if any part of it hits here, it won't happen until friday night/saturday morning. It can't interfere with my flight now.

None of us own this board. SDS and anyone else pulling the strings have the right to run this board however they damn well please.

Hopefully Roker can put all the weight back on before he stands out there in those winds. That's always a hilarious sight.

Last I saw, they were saying we might get a piece of it here in Boston on friday. I'm supposed to be flying to Buffalo at around 1 that day, so I think that just about guarantees that Earl will in fact hit the east coast.

I guess you can say that everyone knows that both Roethlisberger and Leftwich will start games at some point over the course of the season. The same can't be said for Leinart/Anderson. When putting the list together, that situation wasn't completely clear, so he combines them. But in the big picture, the vast majority of the readers are going to stop reading at the halfway mark, if they even make it that far. No one cares about the bottom feeders, which Arizona clearly has with either QB. Roethlisberger, being a big name that many people are looking for is going to get his own mentioning in the portion of the article that people will actually read. Drop him down half with into a combo with Leftwich and all of a sudden people never even see his name.

That's kind of strange because I was under the impression that decisions like that are up to the TSA people, not the airlines, so it will vary from airport to airport. I was a bit concerned at Christmas time whether or not they'd let me carry on a new pair of hockey skates and was told all of that.
