April 17th, 2012 at 7:20 PM
SNF looks pretty stacked.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:20 PM
Bills get first crack at destroying Sanchez and Tebow!
April 17th, 2012 at 7:21 PM
Steelers get the NFC East and AFC West which I like. What sucks is that they play the Ravens twice in three weeks. Brutal.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:22 PM
Fuck the NFL. Putting dolphins-Bills on NFL network for a thursday game. NO CABLE SYSTEM IN THE BILLS MEDIA MARKET CARRIES THAT FUCKING CHANNEL.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:23 PM
All of this.
And sorry spence, but Eagles are gonna wax that Browns ass in week 1.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:25 PM

At least the nfl didnt put the jags on MNF twice like last season.. Would have liked a bills home division game on a monday night. The Ralph gets fucking crazy during primetime games.
/pedroia home run..2-0 boston over Texas.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:25 PM
NO CABLE SYSTEM IN THE BILLS MEDIA MARKET CARRIES THAT FUCKING CHANNEL.
one might in 6 months, though. And regardless, if you live in the actual Bills market, by rule (or law) they have to show you that game. A local affiliate will carry it.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:27 PM
I love playing 5 of last 8 at home, including finishing up against the Bengals and Browns. As long as they can take care of business the first half of the season, the second half is set up nicely.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:27 PM
Fucking love the Pats’ schedule.
Ravens, Jets, 49ers on Sunday Night; Texans on MNF in Week 14 – an MNF game that will actually mean something.
That is fucking awesome. On paper, if they go less than 13-3, it’s a letdown.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:27 PM
Ooh..i didnt realize that. Thanks, dirt. I live right on the edge of bills coverage..30-40miles east and its jets/giants tv broadcast rights
April 17th, 2012 at 7:28 PM
Chargers get NFC South and AFC North. They’d better get some defensive help in the draft, or a sub-.500 season could be in their future.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:28 PM
Texans on MNF in Week 14 – an MNF game that will actually mean something.
And you just cursed our season. Thanks asshole.
/Schaub snaps leg in week 2.

April 17th, 2012 at 7:29 PM
And sorry spence, but Eagles are gonna wax that Browns ass in week 1.
Racist.
And painful, too.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:31 PM
Yet another loss for the Jets…
Eagles schedule isn’t great…week 4 through 6 will be tough with Giants at home, at the Steelers then home against the Lions. But Atlanta is fucked in week 8 after the bye…Andy Reid 13-0 after the bye.
Oh and I’m definitely selling something to go to that Eagles-Panthers MNF in late November.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:32 PM
I love the texans vs jets MNF game
Can we stop talking about potentially legit MNF games? We all know that such a thing does not exist anymore. Doing this only tempts fate to make Andre Johnson slip on a banana peel or for Kubiak to think that T.J. Yates is too good to keep off of the field.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:33 PM
Probably more true
April 17th, 2012 at 7:33 PM
No faith in TJ Yates?
April 17th, 2012 at 7:33 PM
Bills get pats week 4 at home. Not bad.. Jets at bills week 17.

i dunno if this counts, but that band that had that one sont with all the butterfly’s in the video. they were all tatted up and looked like a nu-metal band but the song was as pussballs as it got. butterflies were involved somehow. that’s all i remember. butterflies.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:40 PM
Valid. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of “pop”-ish groups.
/still enjoy the “Cherry Pie” video
April 17th, 2012 at 7:40 PM
hairy cheese metal.
Sounds like a condition you’d want a doctor to look at.

Holy shit I know what song you’re talking about and it sucked. I think they were early 2000s though.
/also cannot remember their name
April 17th, 2012 at 7:43 PM
crazytown!!!
April 17th, 2012 at 7:44 PM
I was more in the realm of C&C, MC Hammer, 3rd Bass, Sir Mix-a-Lot, shit like that.
I was going to include Digital Underground in that group, but at least they had some talent.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:44 PM
damn…november 2000.
what about the barbie girl song? that was corny as fuck.
sometimes corny is good tho…b52′s rawk. they wallow in camp.

Phillymantis, we want cheesy bands..and bad bands..both of those were pretty decent. But as is the case with radio, the best songs didnt get airplay

And when was the last time Opening Night had a game between 2 teams that totally suck. What a buzz-kill.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:51 PM
Damn I forgot about them. They were the shit for like two months.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:52 PM
Maybe Bobby Valentine should have called out Jon Lester….
And now Cody Ross drops a pop fly. Fuck this game tonight…
April 17th, 2012 at 7:52 PM
Fucking Sox. HR, 2 walks, and an infield dribbler to piss away a lead. Thank God the Bruins are still playing.
Nothing like seeing Scott Atchison warming up in the 2nd to boost your confidence.
And fuck this AAA outfield we have now. Assholes. Fuck it. I’m drinking more now.
April 17th, 2012 at 7:52 PM
Quite true ms, however there were some dogshit bands in the 90s…and LFO might have been the worst.

Flagpole Sitta was fucking great. Smash Mouth actually had a few decent tunes.

Yeah..just saw that they have the New Radicals on there…that song was ridiculously huge in like 98-99 during the TRL days.
April 17th, 2012 at 8:02 PM
Dude. Cantaloop – Us3. Great tune.
Ballz – What is your irrational hate for Smash Mouth?

Yeah..just saw that they have the New Radicals on there…that song was ridiculously huge in like 98-99 during the TRL days.
Scrubs, as a TV show, is probably responsible for people revisiting some bands via iTunes. New Radicals got a nice little bump in the 2000s because of that.
April 17th, 2012 at 8:04 PM
Smashmouth was pretty bad. Pastor, we have similar music tastes overall but man, not with you on that one
April 17th, 2012 at 8:04 PM
Speaking of bad, campy 80s rock, Go Pack Go!
April 17th, 2012 at 8:04 PM
I don’t irrationally hate them. I just think they suck. And I thought they sucked when they first broke out when I was in High School. So there!
/to be fair I was a punk rock fan in High School and that’s it.
April 17th, 2012 at 8:05 PM
Anyone that is in their mid-20′s or older that tells you they didn’t love that New Radicals song is lying their ass off.

April 17th, 2012 at 8:06 PM
Really? I didn’t think they were half bad. To each his own, I guess.
April 17th, 2012 at 8:07 PM
Without using hyperbole I can confidently say that that song is one of the greatest recordings in human history.
April 17th, 2012 at 8:07 PM
Is Kobe out again? Hopefully Spurs can keep it competitive for 4 quarters.
Top half of line up is legit, bottom half not so much. Same with rotation.

The VH1 top 100 songs of the 90s quiz on Sporcle got me to watch a ton of those videos on youtube. I wasted 3 hours doing that one day

Forget who said it on Twitter but the 49ers are being set up to be this year’s version of the 2008 Browns who were gifted 5 prime time games thanks to a fluke season the previous year and NFL fans were punished throughout the season as a result
April 17th, 2012 at 8:10 PM
Yes, he’s out. Game is in LA. Spurs will probably be looking for a measure of revenge. But, didn’t they play last night?
April 17th, 2012 at 8:12 PM
The Spurs did play last night in Oakland. Good for us.

April 17th, 2012 at 9:03 PM
Not crazy about Steelers schedule. Very early bye, not a lot of gimme’s outside the Jets and the state of Ohio, two Ravens games late for guys to get banged up when you should be trying to get healthy for the playoffs.
April 17th, 2012 at 9:04 PM
You Get What You Give is a great song, although those douchebags calling out Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson for being phonies is amusing.

Knickerbockers are physically, mentally, and spiritually dominating the Cel-tanks right now. Novak has the white power.
April 17th, 2012 at 9:30 PM
Actually, they are just hitting a lot of three pointers while still playing barely average defense. They’ll still lose in 5 games in the first round
