Her comments: "I let my emotions get the best of me in a heated situation. I take full responsibility for my actions and accept any punishment felt necessary. This is in no way indicative of my character or the soccer player that I am. I am sorry to my coaches and teammates for any and all damages I have brought upon them. I am especially sorry to BYU and the BYU women's soccer players that were personally affected by my actions. I have the utmost respect for the BYU women's soccer program and its players." Horseschit, kid. Hear me out. It's one thing to toss empty comments out here as a drunk on an internet board. I understand that; God knows I've done it myself here. That having been said, I'm a father of two daughters who have gone through (collectively) 8 years of high school soccer - and I'm proud to say one of them actually started in Varsity on a state-ranked team. As a parent, if you're watching that crap, you want to !@#$ing kill that assholic B word in the parking lot. Remember that as you toss comments out, okay? If that's YOUR kid getting yanked down by the hair, you're going to want to punch that little c#$t in the mouth. And I'm sorry to use that word, but there is NO place for that crap. I hope she loses ANY scholarship she may have had, and ends up serving tacos with a useless degree in podiatric nail management.

I'm normally one of the irrepressible optimists on this board. I had McCargo as one of my "Must Step Up" players this year, and I really believed that he'd live up to the draft pick. It's looking like I was in an alternate universe. I don't see that he's doing anything WRONG....I just don't...you know...see him...at all...

Gosh, you're RIGHT! Wait a minute...that makes this fan base just like that on every other fan board for every other middle-of-the-road team. What part of that is so difficult for you to understand? Trust me on something, "Avenger"...I'm rooting my two functioning brain cells on the Bills' winning this weekend. Wow. Imagine 4-4. That's a hell of a long way from 1-4. And not too far removed from 5-4. And so on... And then imagine what it would be like to be a Carolina fan. Get it?

What an awful post. Are you Spartacus' svengali lover? God, what a waste of bandwidth.

Dick "Night Train" Lane. 14 interceptions in his rookie year in 1952. Keep it up, Byrd!

You know, you might have something here. If this keeps up, it's going to be hard to dispute. I'm going to head over to NFL.com to search the most interceptions by a rookie. It's probably 13 or something stupid like that, but this kid is going to cause opposing teams to think twice, three times, four times, about throwing over the middle under pressure. Because it's going to come backatchya.

I'm still wishing for the LB line up of Harris - Pozluzny - Maybin. No one is calling me for advice. but THAT'S a heck of a corps. Guess the Bills need a few more injuries before it gets painful enough to put Maybin in at LB...

Time to let it go, Bill. The kid's a player. Be grateful he's wearing our colors. Let's move on.

Guess it doesn't matter, does it?

Well now, wasn't THAT something? Come on now, all you whiners that responded to this thread - those telling us that the world was ending. Come on. Let's have a little love here....come on....you can do it....

What....the "F"....am I doing wrong in my life?

For those that wish to chase the "solids" in the toilet bowl, please move on. I'm not here to say the Bills are charging inexorably towards the Super Bowl, but I just looked at the schedule, and did a WTF. Here's the Bills' schedule leading up to Christmas: 10/25 @ Carolina Panthers 11/01 HOUSTON TEXANS 11/08 BYE 11/15 @ Tennessee Titans 11/22 @ Jacksonville Jaguars 11/29 MIAMI DOLPHINS 12/03 NEW YORK JETS (Toronto) 12/13 @ Kansas City Chiefs I know the turd-seekers are going to say the Bills go 0-8 (yes, I'm assuming the turd-seekers are going to expect the Bills lose the bye week), but just take a look at that schedule. The Bills are 2-4. The Bills could walk out of that mess at 8-5. Seriously. Watch for it.

Hey, Four-toe. That "whooshing" sound was the point going over your head. Learn not to duck next time. Let me put it in simple words with only a few syllables each. "Money-is-Everything-Winning-Is-Everything" is wonderful when YOU'RE the one winning. Where I come from, however, there's only ONE winner. When you're NOT the one winning, you'd better get ready to snorfel in the backwash of your much-richer competitor. I don't care what you think of Jerry Jones or Ralph Wilson (actually, to be honest, I don't care much about what you think of anything). But the facts on the ground are that Dallas is a much larger and more lucrative metro market than is Buffalo. Forty years ago? Well, maybe not. But you weren't here forty years ago. Maybe forty IQ points ago, but that's where you got hung up. In today's world, a rapacious (oh, damn, lots of syllables) me-first owner in a major metro market turns the Bills into the Pittsburgh Pirates and Milwaukee Bucks of the NFL. Steps have to be taken to level the playing field, or 'Poof", unbridled egotistic capitalism will change it for you. Too many words with too many letters?

Well, dumber things have been attempted and accomplished. The good burghers of St. Petersburg, Florida, built what is now Tropicana Field, which was opened in March 1990. When did they finally get an MLB team? March 1998. Eight years of tractor pulls and KC-&-The-Sunshine-Band. If you Google Tropicana Field, MLB has some sort of clause to allow them to take a leave of absence in 2010. Hope they didn't lose all the business card from the tractor pull teams. So some yahoo wants to build a stadium in Los Angeles? 1) Hope his architect isn't from St. Petersburg. 2) Hope MY tax dollars aren't funding it.

And then you end up with Jerry Jones, with that attitude, who wants to spoon-feed you his excreta on a daily basis because you failed to speak up and say "Hey, 'Mr.-Winning-Is-Everything, I rather don't like to eat your excreta". But by that time, you inbred little moron, it's too late, isn't it?

I'm guessing she cleans up well. Just needs to brush the teeth after the KFC, and she's ready to go.

I realize it's a pointless exercise to attempt to keep the usual numb-nuts away from this post, but I thought I'd toss one out to the Dolphins/Jets/Pats* trolls that scurry along our walkways here at Two Bills Drive. "Squish the Fish" is a mantra here in Western New York. Always has been, always will be. This is what we say when the Bills play Miami. We don't know why, but we just do. Two questions for you: 1) Is this a Buffalo expression. or do Jets and Pats* fans use this as well? 2) Does your fan base have a similar expression regarding the Bills? I mean, aside from "Bills Suck", "Dick Sucks", "Ralph is Cheap", "Ralph Sucks"...? Something like "Kill Bill", or the like?

Depends on how old the house is. Two suggestions to look for: 1) If it's an older house, the tank might be fine, but the leach field might be shot. Not to get TOO basic here, but your tank is draining into a series of perforated pipes (usually about 4" in diameter, measuring about 15' in length fabricated of PVC). If the house is real fuggin' old, the holes will have eventually filled in with sediments and roots, and will no longer allow "gray water" to percolate from the septic tank into the lawn. You'll have to locate the exit channel from the septic tank, and then locate the leach pipes, and then....yep....dig 'em up and empty 'em out. It's just me, but I'd recommend dumping them into a neighbor's pool after dark, but I get asked to leave a lot, so take that for what it's worth. 2) If it's a newer house, you might have a simple solution. Trace your main "Shower Drain" from your bathrooms to the septic. The odds are - in newer houses - you're going to find that it hits a "U-trap". Just like the "U-trap" that you'll see under your sink drain. Except this is more like 3" in diameter. Sludge builds up on an annual basis in the U-trap, and has to be manually scooped out. Hair, soap film, etc., all clogs it up. I find that it usually has to be drained somewhere around February when it's the worst fuggin' time in the world to drain a trap. It smells like hell, and you have to have the ability to overcome your gag reflex, and you really learn the value of having good lung capacity, because you're going to have to hold your breath like your life depends on it. But once you get this "lard" (and I use that term loosely) cleaned out, things roll along just fine. Have a good set of rubber gloves available, and lots of booze on the other end.

I'm sure you'll be throwing your hat in the ring.

George Seifert comes to mind. Talk about a guy that should have quit while he was ahead.

Grow a new thumb.

I know this thread belongs in "Off the Wall", but this is just a great, great thread. SO Upstate New York. Brings up a lot of rivalries between my Liverpool-based cousins and myself from 40 years ago. Being a Rochester guy, there's no question. Zweigle's. The rest of you should just back off. Heid's? Hoffman's? Nice, and all, but it's like the Amerks and 'Crunch'. Who the hell names their hockey team the 'Crunch'? Probably the same city that can't make a hot dog worth a schit.

Yes, but Metzelaars was about 8' 11" tall. He'd make a first down simply by falling forward. It was like watching a redwood being felled without the environmental consequences.

For awhile there, Los Angeles had two teams - one originating from Cleveland, the other from Oakland. Both beat Tampa when they had that flamer on the helmet.
