Our hearts go out to all those that are effected by the latest senseless tragedies. Just yesterday there was a head on collision 15 minutes from us that took the lives of a local sports play by play announcer John Edwards and his young son. We all have to be more diligent. As the comforts and ease of driving improve through tech I personally believe that our attention to driving a vehicle has diminished. I want to drive the car not have the car drive me.

At the halfway mark my Bills are grasping at straws to plug in a QB, O line and 3 or 4 receivers. Send resume to 1 Bills Drive Orchard Park NY. Must be 16 to apply, preferably applicant will have his or her own helmet and pads.

Niners just scored a TD to make it 14-3. Chucky doesn't look like a happy Millionaire. My money is on the Raiders tonight.

 

[WIMUSKY]

My pick is on SF for iBOATS.... So far so good.... Raiders have 3 first round picks.....

 

[WIMUSKY]

Raiders look pathetic....

 

[aspeck]

31-3 9ers. Wow! Mullen’s having a great first game!

 

[aspeck]

That was a gruesome broken radius and ulna. Ouch!

 

[GA_Boater]

Raiders are pathetic. Maybe Hue Jackson should replace Jon Gruden. Jackson was dumped in the middle of his best year with the Browns and has won twice as many games this season as Gruden.

 

[GA_Boater]

Had to look for a video. Wish I hadn't. :blue:

 

[Old Ironmaker]

I knew it was a serious injury when the opposition is screaming for the other teams staff get on the field. Ugly looking arm. I hope the kid can recover from this horrid break. It could be career ending.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Down to the bottom I go. Just realized I didn't make my picks...:frusty::frusty::frusty:

:tsk:

Wow, bummer. Not telling you how to live your life, but I always go in on Sunday (while I'm thinking about it) and autofill the following week just to make sure I have picks in. Change what I need to later.

 

[GA_Boater]

Last year someone said Auto-Fill made better picks than thinking about it. :smile:

 

[bassman284]

Was that last year? I don't really remember.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Yeah, I thought about making all my picks Thu. Decided to push it off. Daughter came home 4 the weekend and my picks went by the wayside... Good idea tho, bassman. Never tried auto....

 

[WIMUSKY]

Dang, watched the news and the Rams tied er up...

It happens .. kinda like forgetting to put the plug in the boat . Usually only takes one time then ya remember from now on ..

 

[Old Ironmaker]

That's it I'm done. My Bills bandwagon has been wobbling for all but 4 seasons since Ralph Wilson begrudgingly put the Bills in Buffalo. Losing 4 straight Super Bowls was dreadful, but there was always hope. I am ready to throw my signed Jim Kelly with Bruce Smith framed 8X10 into the firepit. I don't think they are selling many Bills QB jerseys, who's the QB today? Great at throwing scoring passes, a pick 6 is a score, no? And I've have had it with this coaches diatribe about building a " New Football philosophy, locker room culture, mind set", just had it with him and his BS. McCoy has yet to score a running TD, McCoy, no touchdown into thAe last half of the season, none. And I don't think the Pegula's, a multi millionaire gas driller and his wife who he picked up when she was his waitress should be interviewing anymore coaches, they aren't very good at it.

edit: Great SNF game on. So this is how the game is played. Very interesting.

Yup, did that "once" too on a 24'. Thankfully I had just backed in the water. Pulled it back out to let it drain.....
