You're freakin' right they were the best...check the link and then double-click on the Bills to see a real NFL uniform. 1973 Bills uni's The only thing though, is that you don't see the red trim on the blue jersey stripes, nor the blue trim on the white jerseys...these detailed stripes gave the Bills jersey a very clean look.

JK jersey Nice looking jersey, must be a new throwback line from Reebok. Gotta pick up one to go with my JK road classic. Memories...that's all we got these days....

Thanks to this year's Cincinnati Bengals, who now look like the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, the Bills no longer sport the worst threads in the league. Thanks, Tom Donhoe, for another "winner."

Yankees-Red Sox....Yawn...ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz.......... What makes a rivalry is that some of the time, one team has to beat the other. 1978? 1999? 2003? I think this is one of the most overblown "rivalries" in sports...it is so one-sided, that the "rivalry" has taken epidemic proportions, especially for those residing in New England. I'm so sick of hearing about the "long suffering" Sawx fans. Lose four god-damned Super Bowls in a row and then, and only then, tell me how to "suffer." If this series makes being 0-4 in the AFC East a little easier, enjoy. That great sucking sound you hear will be the snores of millions of Americans who will be fast asleep by the time the seventh inning rolls around...at 11:00 PM Eastern.

1. Bills Not even close: Orioles On the radar screen: Notre Dame/Navy/SU football (decent, I guess) Done till when? Sabres When does practice start? SU basketball Well, at least we have baseball coming to DC next spring...

Um, Coach...this game sold out minutes after the few tickets that were available went on sale. I understand your frustration, but your best bet is e-bay, as people on this board have been looking for tickets to this game for months. Good luck.

I suppose you mean the baseball version? It's still a pretty good game, just call the 800 number and tell them you want the game with the 2003 rosters. The 2004 teams come out in January-Feb I believe. I think the standard game is around $40...have never played the computer version. Did you ever play Sports Illustrated Baseball? The 1971-72 versions were the only good ones...bought a 1971 version on ebay for $125 last year. Well worth it and for being over 30 years old, still the best baseball simulation game ever, IMO. Good luck with your son...may be hard to turn him on to these types of games. Kids today want the computer animated graphics of outfielders crashing through walls, catchers going 30 rows into the stands for a foul, and 700-foot homers...

Keep tabs on this guy, for in the coming years, he will be mentioned as a possible local owner when Ralph goes to his great reward. Hell, he could buy the Bills with what he has in his wallet...and considering the options, i.e. Los Angeles Bills, he wouldn't be a bad choice.

Last month it was Dave Moore (is he still in the league?) Bad vibes...really bad vibes.

You're leaving out something very important...Coughlin had no Pittsburgh ties, hence he wasn't considered. Coughlin had a layover in Pittsburgh once, but that didn't count.

First Sign of the Apocalypse

You're not doing your homework. The Red Sox have indeed clinched a playoff spot.

Let me assure you, as someone with his a$$ parked right in downtown, this city will embrace the Expos/Senators/Grays/Monuments/etc. What they will embrace more, like the Wizards/Bullets and the Caps, however, are the road teams. This area is so transient, it took me 10 years to find someone actually from here...whatever...when the Cubs come, RFK will sound like Wrigley. When the Cards come, you'll think there's a Bud brewery nearby. When the Mets come, you'll think you're at Shi% Stadium, I mean Shea Stadium. God help us when the crass Philly fans hop on I-95 south...

I was there also, upper deck, visitors side. We were on the end of the aisle, close to the tunnel leading to the concourse. When Hooks scored, I looked down the tunnel and there were guys running out of the bathroom, some with their pants still down around their ankles, to see what all the cheering was about... Not a pretty site...but it was funny nonetheless.

Yeah, I know, the Yankees rule, the Sox suck...or is it the Sox rule and the Yankees blow? Whatever.... But today at 5:00 PM EDT, Politicos here in DC will announce that the Expos are moving here...to play at RFK for three years, then move to a brand new home not far from the capitol. As an O's fan from Rochester, I'll still make the 45 minute trek a couple of times a season to go see Angelos' Underachievers...but it's going to be nice to have a team here we can call our own. Bring on the Senior Circuit!

Jeeziz, I never knew this thing was "lifelike."

Sure, I remember him, part of the Fish teams that took us to school (pun intended) during the 70s. If I remember correctly, his claim to fame was a great catch vs. the Skins in Supe VII....

I know this must have been asked before...but who is the dope on Phin radio who's always screaming "AWWWW RIGHT, MIAMI!!!!" Everytime I hear that on some NFL Film segment, I feel like Elvis and want to shoot the TV.

Madden's routine is starting to look, and sound, like a Saturday Night Live skit...he has been terrible for about the last eight years or so...there's only so much "BAM!" and "BOOM!" you can listen to. I wish Madden would take the advice given to him by the refs in that vintage NFL Films bit regarding the "Holy Roller." Bill King, Raiders radio announcer: "They tell Madden, 'Get your big butt outta here...' He does!"

Look at the "Spectator Index" which is an 8...out of 10. Which is described as being "very good." Spectator index, Buff vs. Jax

When was Dick Cheney run outta Rochester?

Where's Boomer's pick, the annual Bills-49ers Super Bowl prediction?

Yes, and the weather.com forecast keeps getting better a well.

Going through the 2004 concessions list "Ya gotta eat!" I see they knocked the always popular fried bologna sandwich off the menu! Let me see if I got this right: You can order a "Philly" steak at RWS, but you can't get a "Western New York filet" sandwich? Where's the love? And, oh yeah, $6.50 for a 20oz draft. Welcome to the NFL, which stands for Not For Long at these prices!

I, for one, am glad that the SB logos are going down...I know, I know, "We were the only ones to go to four in a row, etc., etc..." But ALL of those games have left a sick feeling in Bills fans' stomachs, so it's time to move on and let history be history. I never liked 'em on the side of the scoreboard that faces Abbott road either. Everytime you approached the stadium, the reminders of those fateful Sundays were the first things you'de see. Now, if they were AFL/AFC banners, that would be another story...
