K-9

Shocked, but not surprised really. It looks as though he was having problems making the transition to 43 DE. There have been reports that he wasn't winning his share of one on one battles in camp. And he's certainly been mediocre in the scrimmages. More than anything, Kyle Moore has impressed and it may just make more sense to invest in the younger player with higher ceiling at this point. I hope Merriman can catch on with another team. It will probably have to be a 34 team but who knows. I think waiving him now gives him a better chance to catch on. I wish him luck. GO BILLS!!!

That's refreshingly honest. I've voted both tickets on all levels for as long as I've been voting. Depends entirely on the issues I feel most important and who I think best able to address them. I just don't understand why those republican machines in various states like PA, don't spend more time on converting hearts and minds in those districts where they don't get as many votes as opposed to trying to marginalize them instead.

Didn't the honorable Mike Turzai, State Representative of the State of Pennsylvania, remove all doubts as to the motives for getting this law on the books in PA? If he would have kept his mouth shut, there would at least be a doubt. But, like Twain said, he opened his mouth and removed all doubt. That said, it's incumbant upon anyone concerned about disenfranchisement, to step up the efforts to assist those who need this new ID. It's not impossible, just a bit arduous. And those who passed this law with the idea that the sanctity of the voting process needs protecting, should be leading the charge to do just that. But somehow I don't think we'll be seeing Tarzai and Co. taking the lead on this.

Hey, did the Bills win the SB?

Absolutely. These wonderful vanguards of voting in PA should be doing everything in their power to ensure that those legally able to vote, can. Not the other way around. But they are a bunch of hypocritical p*ssies too afraid of hearing the voices they don't want to hear. So they had to stifle those voices. I just wish people would spare me the sanctimonious bullsh*t about why the ID law was enacted. At least Tarzai didn't hide behind it.

There is nothing peculiar about it at all. PA voted democratic in the last two presidential elections. That had to be fixed. Mike Turzai and the rest of the gutless wonders too afraid of the will of the people saw to it. I'll give him credit for not hiding behind this bullsh*t idea of protecting us from voter fraud. He came right out and admitted why they did it. That's more than I can say for his fellow gutless wonders.

That is an excellent point. GO SABRES!!!

Outstanding list. I'd be quite content have nothing more than these on my deserted island. Oh, and a DVD player. And electricity.

I think the Romney is more expensive simply because it's made of a much more dense material. I also heard it was made in Mexico.

My advice for anyone wishing to invade and take over America would be to come draped in a flag and humming the national anthem while carrying a bible. We'd never suspect a thing.

Chan and the coaches coming out in a hurry-up, no-huddle with an empty backfield and five wide had far less to do with Fitz than it did with them throwing Glenn and Hairston to the wolves to see what they've got and, just as importantly, needing to evaluate what they have in all the receivers not named Stevie Johnson. GO BILLS!!!

Or you guys could just go slumming and join us on TSW from time to time. Is there a reason so many folks on this board won't be caught dead over there? GO BILLS!!!

chz may not have a penis, but she has balls. GO SABRES!!!

Working the refs. As old as officiated sports. I like the attitude of the Canadian team's coach. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/olympics--abby-wambach-s-brains-proved-to-be-big-assist-to-u-s--women-s-soccer-s-comeback-against-canada.html GO SABRES!!!

The Lucic incident was the seminal moment of the season. They were doing ok at 10-5 and it most definitely derailed them for a period of time afterward. I don't think it's what prevented them from making the playoffs, however. Any combination of four lost points during the course of the season prevented them from making the playoffs. You're right about the fans not dwelling on it if we had won the cup. I'm guessing that when a team wins a cup, it has a way of shifting the focus and we'd have a tendency to accentuate the positive. Hell, it might even force a smile or two out of TSC. GO SABRES!!!

I think it holds a ton of value going forward in that it can NEVER be repeated. The Sabres had one chance to respond the right way and they didn't. And that had a huge negative effect on their collective psyche for a good while afterwards. I can't believe that if tested the same way that they wouldn't respond correctly given what happened in Boston. Hopefully it will never come to that. But I can certainly see a team or two testing our resolve in that department. GO SABRES!!!

You have to get written consent to retransmit from the IOC, which holds the rights. I don't think NBC would have any problem just so long as the attribution was visible on the screen. It's common place nowadays, especially for over-air networks. GO SABRES!!!

Who am I?! I put the bat'rooms in dis place! Dats who! Who am?! I sat two seats from Tony Bennett at the Sinatra concert. Who am I. I got your who am I right here. GO SABRES!!!

And you have a problem with that?

This is my favorite pic of the landing:

Shameful affront to the hockey Gods. Simple as that. We had ONE chance to correctly respond and we blew it the moment all five Sabres didn't make a direct b-line for Lucic. One thing worse than little nads is no nads at all. Geldings, as Drane would put it. GO SABRES!!!

Would people be ok if someone with long, unkempt hair, dressed in T-shirt, cut-offs, and sandals walked into a movie theater or any other crowded public venue with a legally acquired, licensed, and permitted Glock holstered to his right hip? Or how about a small group of friends strolling into the McDonald's wearing their sidearms?

Is this just in swimming? Because Al Oerter won the discuss gold in 4 straight Olympics (1956, 60, 64, and 68). Greatest Olympic athlete ever? I just don't think that can be quantified. Phelps is undeniably the most decorated and that has to count for something. I'll have to give it some thought. I'm partial to decathletes simply because they compete in more disciplines and have to display more all-around athletic prowess. But damn, that's a hard question to answer.

Nevermind!
