The 90's were WAY better. Granted, I was too young to remember the first two superbowl losses, and too young to fully appreciate the next two, but even through the late 90's when I knew more about what was going on, it was great watching football that was at least competitive along with a few more playoff appearances, knowing that they might have a shot at going back to the Superbowl any given year. A while back we were talking about this on a Bills forum that I belong to, and one of the guys there summed it up best when he said that of course he would rather the Bills won at least one of those 4 superbowls, but he would also rather have them be 0-5 in superbowls than 0-4. I would gladly take another superbowl loss over 11 years of no playoffs.

Oh man, I love that. I keep moving in the snow, but I have a 4x4 pickup - much different than a heavy SUV. All the 4wd in an SUV does is get you up your driveway. Ford Exploders are the worst offenders, too, LOL. I'd rather have the SUV actually, pickups are too light in the rear to get good traction. I feel like I shouldn't have to put the car in 4x4 just to back down the driveway without spinning the wheels because of a little snow or ice, and in my mom's Explorer I don't. Can't say the same for either of my dad's pickups ('98 f-150 and 2011 Silverado). That said, I'll take my AWD Subaru in the snow over any of them. Just keep a ton of snow in the back to weigh it down. Helps me out. I don't have those issues with my Sierra. Maybe its the tires? More weight = greater stopping distance. Could be the tires I suppose, or it could be our driveway. it has a slight hump to it, and the only time the trucks spin the tires is starting out in reverse on ice or packed snow going uphill over the hump. Not really that big of a deal, and they both do fine once I'm actually on the road even in poor conditions. Still the point remains that I've only had this happen in the pickups, never in the Explorer.

It was George.

Did he look like George Costanza?

I only use a leader when fishing around rocks, or when dropshotting. Around rocks its for abrasion resistance, and when dropshotting it's because I'm more concerned about line visibility because it's a vertical presentation with the bait suspended off the bottom. with bottom contact baits I don't think line visibility matters as much because the line is running almost parallel to the bottom, and I think the bottom helps to hide the line in this situation. It's probably just a confidence thing but that's what works for me.

To be sure, lots of student athletes don't take their studies very seriously and do the minimum required to keep their spot on the team. That said, the dialect a person speaks is highly indicative of the culture they were raised in and has little to do with their intelligence or education level.

When I was maybe 10 I had been watching The Simpsons, and I thought it was cool that Bart kept calling his dad Homer, so I decided to try calling my dad by his first name. Lets just say I only made that mistake once.

How is sitting in a dome in Phoenix anything like sitting outside in 30 degree weather with a mix of rain, sleet and snow like they're calling for at the Bills game this week?

If its 2:15 in Foxboro, what time is it in NY? 45 to 3

I wouldn't be so sure about that. the way I see it, either the Jets or Pats get one wild card, and the Steelers or Ravens get the other. The Colts have a lot of ground to make up on those 4 teams. Their best shot right now is to catch the Jags.

My beer is colder than yours!!!

Millions of people in the US use alcohol in moderation, with no ill effects. Perhaps those who become alcoholics should look within themselves for the reason they feel compelled to use until it ruins their lives, instead of blaming alcohol. Not everyone who drinks is "coward-ling" behind a bottle. Some just like the taste of beer or a good bourbon. There's nothing wrong with that.

I voted for Steve Johnson. I don't follow college football too closely and Finnegan seemed like he enjoyed the fight even though he got his arse handed to him, he was waving to the crowd smiling as he left the field. As a Bills fan I'm biased, but Johnson had a horrible game. Obviously dropping a sure TD in overtime is the one that put him in the spotlight, but he had 5-6 other drops throughout the game including one that went through his hands for a pick late in the game when the Bills had an opportunity to win it in regulation.

I have to write a paper about a famous person or historical figure for a developmental psychology class, and I thought OJ would be an interesting person to write about because he is both famous and infamous for many reasons. What I have to do is research this person's life and use developmental psychology principles and theories to attempt to explain how they became the person they are in adulthood. Does anyone know of any good OJ biographies that contain a good amount of information on his childhood and early life?

Nice deer. Too bad it's hanging the wrong way.

I would have picked all of the above, if it were not for the Childress will kill Favre choice. That one just doesn't fit with the theme of the rest of them and directly contradicts a couple. You need an all of the above except Childress killing Favre choice.

I'm disappointed that it looks like Merriman may never play a down for the Bills, but I still like the fact that they picked him up. He didn't cost the Bills anything but a million dollars and change of Uncle Ralph's money, and he has enough. It would have been a small price to pay if he was able to step in and be an impact player, but oh well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The Bills didn't get any worse by signing him.

Anyone else notice the grenade in pic 52?
