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...

Um, Sue, I hate to break it to you, but the NFL Network will not be showing any future Bills games....NFLN is showing exhibition games only. This is in case you didn't already know that, of course.

Agree completly...the Big Eleven will soon be looking at four hour games as the norm...not a good thing.

While I said earlier that these long range forecasts are shaky at best, they're usually in the ballpark when it comes to the temp...66 degrees would be perfect wil a little bit of sun!

There are none...zippo, zilch, zero. I'm in Arlington and the best wings around me are at the Dominos on Columbia Pike, and that's not saying much. Grevey's are ok, but I haven't been there in four years...last I remember they were on the small side. Jimmy's in Herndon is owned by a Buffalo guy and he uses Anchor Bar sauce. Never had 'em (G.Host?) but he serves a good fish fry.

They look like creamsicles...

Orchard Park weather I know these long range forecasts are a joke, but it's good to see opening weekend appear on the radar screen...62 degrees would be perfect, if we can just keep those showers out of there.

Coming up for the opener and am looking for suggestions on what bars need to be visited and which ones to avoid on Chippewa...never been there and would like some local input. Bear in mind, I'm an old geezbag (46)...and can't stay out past midnight!

Great post...thanks for sharing.
