I just watched Denver owner Pat Bowlen's press conference. He was asked what he wanted from a new coach, and he said he wanted to win the Super Bowl. He wasn't satisfied with having a winning record or just making the playoffs. That's the difference between a committed owner and one like Ralph who settles for mediocrity.

They would blame it on the lack of fan support.

I don't care about whether the players like the coach, as long as they respect him. I played for coaches when I was in high school that I didn't like at the time because of how hard they made us work, but I respected them, and looking back I understand why they were hard on us, and it made us better players in the end.

I was watching ESPN last night and the ticker said Shanahan was let go, and I got excited about the possibility of him coming to Buffalo, and then the next ticker line said the Bills kept Jauron. I had the "wide right" feeling of disappointment. The Bills have become the LA Clippers of the NFL; satisfied with mediocrity.

Home: Miami, New England, N.Y. Jets, Houston, Indianapolis, Cleveland, New Orleans, Tampa Bay Away: Miami, New England, N.Y. Jets, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Kansas City, Atlanta, Carolina 3 wins at home, 1 on the road, and they get lucky in 1 for a 5-11 record if Dick is still the coach.

Actually the fact that the whales were extinct was what pissed off the aliens who had come back to check on them, and Kirk and crew had to go back to the past to retrieve a pair that would communicate with the aliens and save the earth.

Pats 33 Bills 16, and Dick still keeps his job!

Artie Baby Boo boo, the tiny tot of the kilowatt, Art Wander.

I think he should sell the Senate seat to the highest bidder, as long as it's in the open and the money goes into the state treasury. Put an opening bid price of $100 million on it and see who bites.

He's the coach of the Bills, but I haven't seen proof that he's coaching the Bills.

Hard to tell since they won't disclose the technology for public scrutiny, let alone admit it exists.

You'll have to ask the poster, he's the one who inferred that the way out of poverty is the military. And there are many people who can't secure loans sufficient to cover college expenses, so they don't view it as a viable alternative. Military service is a fine profession, but it should be chosen for positive reasons, not because one feels they have no other options.

That's a sad statement about the lack of opportunity that their only option to better their lives was to put them on the line in the military, while those better off can afford to have the option of going to college or trade schools.

While I am not impressed with Kennedy and would rather someone like Cuomo get appointed, one thing she does bring to the table is a friendship with Obama, who owes her for her support, and for a freshman senator to have that close association with the president which could influence some decisions in favor of New York State is not a bad thing.

No, that was Tanaka. Tatonka was an indian wrestler in the WWF, with the usual war bonnet and dance. He made some appearances last year.

Because dufus, they make more money by monopolizing the energy resources and limiting our choices of affortable alternatives. It is naive to think that nobody has invented technology that would do better than mass-produced 30mph gas fueled engines.

It's only fair, since Bush and corporations have taken the middle class down to lower economic class status. Somebody has to fill the void in the middle class.

You got the relevence of the story. I find it amusing that those complaining it's not a story or I'm fixated on Palin have more posts in this thread than me. Thanks for the laugh.

Sherry L. Johnston, the mother of Bristol Palin’s fiancé, was arrested Thursday night on drug charges. Johnston was arrested at her Wasilla home and charged with six felony drug counts. Alaska state troopers then searched the Johnston home for further evidence of narcotics. She was charged with second-degree misconduct for allegedly manufacturing narcotics and a fourth-degree misconduct related to possession. She has been released from the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility on a $2,000 bond. Johnston is the mother of Levi Johnston, who was vaulted into the national spotlight in September when it was announced that he is the father of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter Bristol’s child. The baby is due on Saturday, and the two are set to wed this summer. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1208/16747.html

Innovation wouldn't be stifled if they reinvested some of the money in new innovations instead pocketing record profits. Innovation is stifled by greed.

Let the team move to Toronto next year, and then immediately offer a new stadium to the Miami Dolphins to move here.

They already are de facto divided. The Kurds are a semi-autonomous region, and with our occupation, the Sunni and Shites that used to live together went back to ethnic fighting that resulted in segregated neighborhoods and cities. The fighting has died down in large part because they've pretty much settled on the divided territory. People who left their Sunni homes in mixed neighborhoods came back to find they were no longer welcome, with their homes occupied by Shites, and visa versa. Our military has even resigned itself to this reality by helping to build walls between different ethnic neighborhoods.

Not handouts, bridge LOANS to restructure and retool. Nobody is advocating handouts. This distortion of the facts by the anti-loan crowd is simplistic. I agree that companies should reinvest record profits into improving their products and services, and not just handing it out as dividends and buying back stock like the oil companies did, or face a windfall tax, but if their fortunes turn and they are threatened with going out of business, then I support giving them LOANS if they have a business plan that shows how it will allow them to recover.

He wouldn't have been paid to make people laugh for long if he didn't accomplish just that. SNL was cutting edge for the time when it started and he was one of the writers. Obviously jokes about Gerald Ford and Paul Tsongas are not going to seem funny today.
