With the Skins playing at the same time, it may be difficult to find the Bills on the tube there. Go down King St. toward the water and right before you hit the river, on your left, is Bugsy's. It used to be called the Penalty Box. It's more of a hockey bar, but on Sunday afternoons, they have all the games on. Better yet, they have Blue on tap.

Cox of course and who can forget Mark Gastineau?

If anyone needs to be booed, it's the front office.

Even when he was on Sunday Night Football, you could have made a drinking game of everytime he said, "He did a nice job." Trouble is, you'de be crocked before the end of the first quarter...

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Jack's spot on here. I always go to the bus lot first; there's always a couple of guys who miss the bus because the alarm didn't go off, or they're too hung over from the Saturday night before. Picked up pairs for as low as $5 in the bus lot, just as Jack sez, the group leader just wants to unload them in a hurry.

I've bought two Sabres jerseys from this guy...great quality and fast shipping Linky

Mac, I, for one, will miss your pictures from camp...your August postings were very much looked forward to. Good luck in Thailand...hope you can find some white Zweigles!

Come on down here to DC...we've got 16-24 inches coming Friday.

Thanks 'Ball...I was just going to google this.

Sad thread actually...jeez, remember 15 or so years ago I couldn't get enough Bills stuff for Christmas. I also remember looking forward to the playoffs around this time of year.

I was at the game where Theismann had his leg broken...we were in the end zone and with all the bodies in the pileup, we didn't see how bad it was. I remember LT jumping up and down trying to get the Skins' medical staff on the field. Also remember looking in the binocs up at Jack Kent Cooke's box and you could see all the commotion going on...his wife (girlfriend?) at the time was Cathy Lee Crosby and you could see her and others scampering around, visably shaken.

It's been playing all day on the History Channel and I'm DVR'ing it now...looking forward to it. My Pops was at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese came unannounced, Guadalcanal, Coral Sea and some others. Love the color and HD look, but how can it be more realistic than Midway, in 1976, in SensSurround? Don't forget that Spielberg and Hanks are at it again for HBO, coming next year.

I've been e-mailing about every other day: versus@directv.com Actually got a non-form reply last week..."call us, we would like to help you, etc..." I just told them to hurry up and get VS back. I'm afraid, this fight will be very long. If we're lucky, VS will be back for the playoffs, but I'm not counting on it.

I've never figured out why you need your tires rotated. They go around every time you drive the car.

Ronnie Lott dislocated his finger and cut off the tip. Maybe Poz can cut off his .... Nevermind.

I took my sneakers off after the Jackson TD...told the wife "I knew I should kept them on!"

I think that about sums it up perfectly.

I knew about an hour ago, I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight either way... Given the national stage, the Bills coulda made a statement tonight. Instead, they are only what Rocco Mediate is to Tiger Woods.

Worst loss since Tenny playoff, at least.

Jeez, remember when we use to pick up guys like Leonard Smith, James Lofton, hell even "recently" like Lawyer Malloy. Those days seem to be long-gone, I'm afraid.

The Bills went 11-5 and I believe fell into a three (or was it five?) team tie for home-field and lost out on tiebreakers and had to go to San Diego. I firmly believe if they had home field, that team would have went to the Super Bowl. There were two losses to lowly Baltimore that came back to haunt them for home-field in 1980. I was at the one in OP, a game where Bert Jones sliced them up all day. It was a raw, overcast October day if I recall correctly.

I actually feel sorry for him...he never had the opportunity to have a Garbage Plate.

Well another training camp at SJF and another installment of always-excellent photos by Andy. Sort of a rite-of-August...(and late July). Thanks for another year of super pics!
