Buffalo Bills receiver Stevie Johnson extended his team record for 1,000-yard seasons by surpassing that number for the third straight year in the finale Sunday against the New York Jets.
Johnson finished with six catches for 111 yards in the 28-9 win at Ralph Wilson Stadium.
"That was big," quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. "We want to go in and win the game. I was very conscious of that going into the game, though, in terms of Stevie and the 65 yards [he needed to reach 1,000].
"He's just been a guy that's been great for me just in terms of coming up to make the big plays."
Johnson did it again Sunday on the catch that got him over the magic number. His 37-yard reception down the right sideline early in the fourth quarter set up the Bills deep in New York territory. Six plays later, the Bills scored a touchdown to open a 21-9 lead.
"[Sunday] was one of those times where we just meshed with each other as far as offense, defense and special teams," Johnson said. "I guess it just takes time. Hopefully everything will come back next year and we end up how we did this game."
The Bills will pick eighth overall in April's NFL draft.
The Bills finished with a 6-10 record, matching the Jets and Titans. Buffalo's strength of schedule, however, was easier than both New York's and Tennessee's, hence the Bills pick earlier.
Had the Bills lost to New York, they would have picked sixth overall. Buffalo could have picked as high as fourth coming into the day, but losses by Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland and Arizona left them with fewer wins than Buffalo and picks 4-7, respectively.
"As a player, you want to go win whenever you're out on the field," center Eric Wood said. "We don't play for draft position. Whoever may be rooting for whatever pick in the draft, a little bit more momentum going into the offseason, a little bit better feeling probably helps us a little more than a couple extra spots in the draft. I could be totally wrong. Maybe we miss out on the next Andrew Luck or Adrian Peterson because of it, but as a player you go out to win games."
The Bills also finished last in the AFC East, despite matching the Jets with a 6-10 record. The teams split the first and second tiebreakers, head-to-head record and division record (each finished 2-4), but the Jets went 5-7 in common games, which is the third tiebreaker. The Bills went 3-9.
That means the 2013 home-and-away schedule is set. Aside from the AFC East, the Bills will play home games against Baltimore, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Atlanta and Carolina. They will travel to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay and New Orleans.
Linebacker Bryan Scott's interception return for a touchdown was the first defensive score of the season for the Bills.
"Basically it was a three-man zone," Scott said. "[Jets quarterback Mark] Sanchez kind of just led me to that route. ... He does have a tendency to look at his receivers."
Scott, who scored his third career touchdown, finished second on the Bills in 2012 with four interceptions. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent in March.
"This city, this organization has meant so much to me," he said. "Seeing the resiliency of these guys, I know we've been through a lot up and down. It does kind of hit home a little bit to think, 'Wow, this might be it.' "
Receiver Brad Smith lined up in the backfield on six plays. One was an 8-yard pass reception on which he shielded linebacker Calvin Pace. Another was a 12-yard catch. He said he's not looking to take fullback Corey McIntyre's job.
"It's something we've been doing the last few weeks, putting a receiver in the backfield. I think I've got to get one of those [tight end] Lee Smith facemasks," Brad Smith said.
The Bills also used Smith in two Wildcat plays against his former team with great success. He had a 4-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter out of the formation, then later added a 16-yard run.
"We just try to come in and try to execute each play just like any other play," he said.
The Bills played Sunday with a decal on their helmets honoring Lt. Mike Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka – members of the West Webster Fire Department – who were killed on Christmas Eve by a lone gunman when responding to a call.
"Our thoughts and prayers remain with the families of the brave heroes from the West Webster Fire Department," Bills CEO Russ Brandon said in a statement.
The team also held a moment of silence prior to kickoff.
Quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was inactive again Sunday, a status he held for every game this season. Also inactive for the Bills were defensive end Mark Anderson (knee), safety Da'Norris Searcy (groin), and healthy players Jay Ross, Chris Scott, Keith Williams and Kevin Elliott.

If you believe NCAA president Mark Emmert, Penn State avoided the death penalty Monday because PSU president Rod Erickson and the Board of Trustees have made moves in the right direction toward fixing what went wrong during the university's handling of the Sandusky scandal.
One look at the $60 million fine tells a different story.
Emmert made sure to point out that Penn State is not allowed to pay off the fine through academic cuts or by trimming other sports programs.
So where is the money going to come from? It will come from where most of the money does at Penn State, the football program.
That is why Emmert, Erickson and the rest of the NCAA didn't agree to shut down football operations for a year or longer.
This season will be an important one for Penn State in regards to paying off its debt.
The season tickets and donations to the program are already paid for and sent in for 2012.
Fans who are outraged by the scandal and/or don't want to see what basically amounts to exhibition games since Penn State has no chance of winning the Big Ten championship or participating in a bowl game don't have a choice on whether they want to pay for tickets.
They already did.
If Emmert would have suspended Nittany Lion football for this upcoming season, Penn State would have been forced to refund ticket sales and possibly donations of up to $600 per seat.
Granted, the money is going to a good cause. Emmert declared it will aid external programs preventing child sexual abuse and helping victims of abuse.
Emmert claimed Penn State football became bigger than the university, yet in his time as the NCAA president, college football has been built as a money-making cash cow more than during any other president's reign.
When the recently announced college football playoffs begin, the highest bidding city will host the biggest games. That will open the financial floodgates.
A year ago, Penn State offered its season ticket holders an opportunity to transfer tickets from one family member's name to another. The cost of that was $1,500 per seat.
If a grandfather passed his four tickets to his grandson, the fee was $6,000. If the four seats were in the highest donation area in the new STEP program, the total fee for donations that season would have been $2,400. Without even accounting for the actual price of the tickets ($55 per game) and parking, that family of four would have paid $8,400 that season for four tickets per game to seven home football games.
That donation process isn't likely to change.
But next year, people will have a choice. They can continue to pay up to $600 a seat donation to see a team that may be starting walk-ons with no opportunity to go to a bowl game, or they can give up their seats.
As much as the area loves Penn State football, it's hard not to expect a significant season-ticket holder dropoff if the STEP program remains the same.
That's why Penn State will be playing football this season - the last one in which fans paid to see the Nittany Lions before knowing of the current sanctions.

eyes (n.) - Traditionally defined as a feature on a living creature's body that allows it to see, this simple area of the body is considered by some to be the most beautiful and mystifying physical feature of another person (especially the eyes of a woman). Unlike the breasts, legs, or gluteus maximus (which are often associated with physical beauty in women) the eyes hold value outside of the realm of sexuality. (Some would even argue that, for this reason alone, the admiration of a woman's eyes is more respectable and pure than being physically attracted toward some element of her sex.) Some men find the most dazzling feature of a woman to be her eyes, leaving everything else as all but completely irrelevant. Looking into a woman's eyes, one can sometimes peer into her soul.
"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever met, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you so I can wake up to look into your eyes, every day, for the rest of my life."

You Can't Judge a Mom Blogger by Time's Cover.Mr Lady
So this is happening. Are you mom enough, in mainstream media. It's bad enough that the blogosphere is eye to its eyeballs in this load of crap; now Time is jumping the train.
Awesome. We disrespected each other enough that now everyone else disrespects us, too. *gold stars for everyone*
And before you go saying that this is Time! Exploiting us! let me point out that in seven and a half years in the mom blogging community, I have been called a child abuser/bad parent/not mom enough because I've:
spanked my kids, formula fed them, breast fed them, let them have Facebook accounts, needed to take anti-anxiety meds for PTSD because of actual child abusers, posted their pictures, vaccinated them, didn't vaccinate them enough, written about being unprepared to have them when I did, left their alcoholic father, came back to their alcoholic father, moved them all over North America, co-slept, didn't co-sleep, gave them cell phones….
I ha-a-a-a-te the mommy wars. I don't play the mommy wars. I have absolutely no interest in how you raise your children, so long as you do. I also have absolutely no interest in what you think about how I raise mine.
But honestly, I don't care about any of that, and I don't want to talk about it. I don't care that time wrote this article, and I don't care that they used this title. The Proverbial We do it every day. Blogging is a bloodsport and if you aren't on the latest insult bandwagon fast enough, you and/or your oxen are left on the side of the Oregon Trail to die of cholera. Or no blog traffic.
What I do care about is that cover.
Time put a picture of that woman breastfeeding her child behind a caption which says she believes *that* is the definition of Good Enough. I don't care that the article does or does not back up that claim. What I care about is that the woman doesn't back up the claim.
I was driving my daughter to school today and listening to a local station talking about the woman in that picture. They were tearing her to shreds, like much of the internet is doing right now. I've read and heard people mocking her, throwing stones at her, calling her a child molester, saying she's scarring her kids for life, and just generally being horrible.
Her blog is down right now, hopefully from a traffic surge and not out of necessity.
What I don't think most people realize is that she herself isn't some extreme AP mom. She, herself, wrote one of the most empowering, supportive, encouraging things I have ever read online about feeding your kids however the hell you see fit. I haven't nursed or bottle fed a baby in so long, I couldn't give a crap less about the Breast Is Best movement, and her post still drove me to tears, because I remember.
I remember how hard it is to have a tiny little person in your charge. I remember what it is like to question everything you're doing, because it's terrifying and grand, this responsibility and gift of a new life. I remember how unintuitive it was, and how I never felt so small and clueless in my whole life. I remember how the only thing I could do sometimes was pray "Dear God, don't let me fuck this up."
And I remember how many people told me I was doing it wrong. I remember how many people judged me. I remember the time when I needed to hear someone say this:
I just think formula feeding moms are lazy. — And I just think you're an asshole.
And then Time decided to take the woman who did say it and put her on the cover of their magazine, more or less saying that she thinks you aren't mom enough. Guess what? She doesn't. Neither does Time, but Time doesn't have a fake twitter account set up with it's son's face as the avatar, and Time's website isn't down, and the local radio station isn't talking about Time, and no one is calling time a molester.
Time isn't exploiting us. It is, however, exploiting a 26 year old mother doing what she feels is best for her child. She isn't doing anything different from what this mother is doing, but one is considered beautiful and the other is considered disgusting.
I kind of think exploiting mothers is disgusting, personally. Especially when some white dude is making a living off of doing it.

Boy Scouts of America under distress
February 16, 2013
In addition to my youthful years as a Scout in Baltimore, I served as an adult scout leader for 25 years....
Yes why should the Boy Scouts give into a disgusting filthy life style like homosexuality. Not a homophobe, no such thing as I do not fear homosexuals. Homosexuality has its own youth group, its called NAMBLA. Check out their perversions with young males. Scouting is one of the finest youth organizations on this planet and should not be contaminated because perverts want to turn it into a homosexual happy hunting grounds.

Why do liberals seem to want to force their aberrant social experiments on OTHER people's kids? If you want a Gay Scouts of America, go ahead and found one and make YOUR OWN kids join it. I doubt the current Congress is gonna pass a law making such an organization illegal. But quit trying to take existing private organizations and force them to swallow your messed-up agendas. If you really think it's a good idea for hetero girls and hetero boys (and hetero boys and homo boys) to be showering together at overnight scout camps, then you are among those who need to be screened out by the national "mental normalcy" test that you want to use to prohibit people from buying or owning guns.

You state: "They allow women to be troop leaders."
I'm not sure if that is true or not, but that is up to the wisdom of the Boy Scouts.
Given Wisdom and Experience though, that is still a bit of a "no-brainer" when compared to allowing homosexual males.
Throughout history are the examples of sexual abuse primarily from men or women? Does the Catholic church have an equal problem from sexual abuse with their nuns as they do their priests.
Sorry, but common sense tells everyone that men are wired differently than women.
In addition, if the Scouts allow mature women for leaders as you suggest, they still don't allow young girls into the Boy Scout troop to be a sexual distraction to developing boys. That is more what the "Progressives" are recommending with allowing openly homosexual scouts and leaders.

It is the same reason that Boys Scouts don't mix girls in with the boy's overnight trips and/or their organization.
Wisdom and Experience has proven it is foolish and prone to abuse and problems. Likewise, should a parent send their 10 year old son out on an over-night camping trip with a 16 year old boy who is confused about his sexuality and attracted to other boys?
That is why the Boy Scouts (a private group) **** it in the bud (I would suggest using more Wisdom than our currently politically-correct U.S. military).
You already correctly suggest that Mankind has a problem with sexuality, so why knowingly mix homosexuality with an organization of young, niave, and developing boys?

Bullhead didn't even address my argument, let alone use any logic to refute it. He pretended I said something other than what I said and argued against that.
Homophobes have this strange notion that gay people are unable to control their sexual urges, have no sense of propriety, and are likely to have sex with every possible same-sex person whenever and wherever possible. In contrast, they think that straight people, can be better trusted to exercise sober self-control just because they're straight.
This notion is simply ridiculous clap trap and prejudice.

I was merely citing examples of heterosexual men in a mostly male environment behaving badly to show that poor behavior is not just a homosexual problem (and, in fact, heterosexual misbehavior naturally is far more widespread and has had more serious consequences).
The military obviously doesn't endorse those behaviors any more than the Boy Scouts, but until recently it had a double standard by which it presupposed that gay people were prone to bad behavior and should be preemptively expelled just for being gay, while heterosexual people were given the benefit of the doubt until they actually misbehaved.
Now gays are on the same level playing field as straights in the military, judged by behavior, rather than by prejudice. That's where the Boy Scouts should be headed. I don't think that prejudice is a Boy Scout value.

Bullhead used logic to refute an illogical argument. Well done.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Do you think that the Boy Scouts endorse any of those examples that you cite? I don't know that much about them, but I highly doubt it.
In fact, the Boy Scouts that I have known speak out against such behavior. So, are you suggesting that because there is licentiousness in the U.S. military that the Boy Scouts should emulate that?
0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I was actually thinking mostly of military men, whoring around overseas and bringing diseases home. Marines raping Japanese teenage girls and causing international incidents (two in less than two years in Okinawa at one point). And this doesn't even include the senior people who can't keep their pants zipped.
When heterosexual men "misbehave," it's just boys being boys and spreading their wild oats, but someone just BEING homosexual, without ever even winking, is too much for some homophobes to handle.
If the military can manage to officially include gay people, it shouldn't be too hard for the Boy Scouts.

You state, "Since heterosexuality is the leading cause of disorder and disruption in any group of young people, I'm surprised Boy Scouts don't ban heterosexuals from their ranks."
How is that supposed to relate to Boy Scouts--a group of boys and men? Unless you have someone acting in homosexuality, your statement wouldn't relate.

Since heterosexuality is the leading cause of disorder and disruption in any group of young people, I'm surprised Boy Scouts don't ban heterosexuals from their ranks.
But actually, I agree with DrGooo. I'm not sure how much sex is supposed to be part of Scouting. Is there a badge for it?

Ariel Castro now faces hundreds of charges in the kidnap and rape of three Cleveland women. Should this be a death penalty case?
Neither kidnapping nor rape are capital offenses in Ohio. What are being debated as capital offense are the deaths Castro caused to his unborn children. I believe he committed acts of murder but I'm sure others will argue he was just exercising his government-given right to choose.

If he claims he, as the father, has the "right" to choose his unborn child's death, then why shouldn't he be taken seriously? Everyday, thousands of mothers claim a "right" to be able to end the lives of their unborn children so why can't the fathers have the same "right"? Do the mothers need the fathers' consent? No, they don't. Why would the fathers need the mothers' consent? Double standard, isn't it?

So if the baby is a girl, she has the right to live but if a boy, he doesn't? That argument is long past reasonable. If you really don't like children and choose to not have them then don't do anything to cause them. Once a baby is alive in the mom, it's murder to kill them. The choice is a woman's before...not after.

At least we are all on the same page that abortion is a government-given right, as opposed to a God-given right (aka "natural right" to the atheists). But, what the government gives is what the government can take away, so its not really a right...its more of a privilege with conditions. This is made evident by the fact that abortion "rights" only apply to women as one of you already pointed out. A true God-given / natural right applies to all persons.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
What I find particularly scary about abortion is that the whole point of an abortion is to commit an act of homicide to dispose of a human being because that human being has been deemed to be an inconvenience. Obviously, we live in a society that is never content with its boundaries and those boundaries are continuously being pushed outward. What if our society eventually goes to the next step and decides that committing homicide to dispose of inconvenient human beings should not be limited to just the unborn?

Another game, another hero.
Saturday it was Jama Sharp's turn to lead the team as she poured in a career-high 25 points behind seven three-pointers to lift Stetson to a 84-67 Atlantic Sun victory over Jacksonville . It was the Hatters' sixth win in row overall and 11th consecutive victory at the Edmunds Center.
"I just did what I had to do to help the team," a humble Sharp said after the game. "(My teammates) fed me when everyone collapsed on them. I just wanted to play hard and do my best."
Head coach Lynn Bria was more overt in praising Sharp's performance.
"I thought Jama was just on fire," Bria said. "She was wide open, and she took really good shots, especially in transition. (The Dolphins) were way off of her, and that's where she got a lot of those threes."
Sharp, who went 7-for-10 from behind the arc, wasn't the only Hatter hitting from long range. Sasha Sims connected on three three-pointers and finished with 16 points, while C.J. Coddington and Myeisha Hall each added a trifecta as well.
"We hit some big threes that gave us some space in the game," Bria said. "In the second half (Jacksonville) tried to get down on Amber (Porter) a little more, and that left somebody on the perimeter open."
Amber Porter was strong once again as the freshman center registered 14 points, seven rebounds, and five blocks. Cherisse Burris approached a triple double with 10 points, eight rebounds, and a career-high six assists.
"I trust my teammates so if I have the ball, I do look for them first," Burris said. "If I have an open lane, I'll take it."
Despite scoring over 80 points for the ninth time this season, the Hatters (14-5, 6-1 A-Sun) had a few offensive droughts in each half that allowed the Dolphins (8-10, 5-2 A-Sun) to stay close.
"Overall it was a good game for us," Bria said. "We went on stretches, though, where we didn't score. However, we kept them from scoring, and I felt like that was huge for us. Normally when we don't score, we don't guard. I was real proud of our (defensive) effort regardless of what was happening on the offensive end."
Jacksonville was within seven points midway through the second half when Sharp hit back-to-back threes to put Stetson up by 13. Burris added a couple of lay-ups before Coddington and Sims each connected from long range to put the game out of reach.
"(The Dolphins) are a great rebounding team, and they always have been," Bria said. (Overall) they are a much improved from last year. In the effort categories we were really good, and one of those was rebounding."
Stetson will take its six-game win streak on the road for the next two weekends as the Hatters visit Northern Kentucky, Lipscomb, USC Upstate and ETSU before returning home on Feb. 13.
Notes: Sharp's seven three-pointers was one shy of the school record and two shy of the Atlantic Sun record ... Stetson's 12 three-point field goals tied for the second-highest single-game total in school history ... Stetson is 9-0 at home this season and has won 27 of 28 and 39 of 41 games at home ... The Hatters are now averaging 79.2 points per game ... Stetson has won 29 straight games when scoring 70 points or more ... Sasha Sims has 1448 career points, 123 shy of the school's all-time record ... Amber Porter is six blocks shy of breaking the school single-season blocks record.

Your logic is flawed.
For his size he should easily be leading that category, should he not? Helmer hits more effectively and is quite a bit smaller, Hell D hits harder than Ericsson.
Turnovers are way more telling and the breakpoint for a Defenseman. Unfortunatley there is no live stats for time holding the puck. At that point you can determine how effective a player is at holding on to it while its in his possesion. Youre going to expect players that have the puck a lot such as D and Z to have more turnovers on average. D-men dont have the puck as much so they shouldnt be turning it over.
Detroit relies on their defenseman greatly to move the puck up ice more than most teams. It's why they have guys like Lids, Rafalksi, Kronner, and yes, Ericsson. They may not be holding on to the puck as long, but they're making a lot of passes out of their own end under high pressure situations. Having to make a tough breakout pass that often is going to lead to turnovers.
In the regular season, 4 of the 5 players with the most turnovers were Rafalski, Ericsson, Stuart, and Kronwall. The fact that Lids is so far down the list is just another reason why he's so damn good.
Ericsson was brought up to be like Pronger? Where did you get that idea?
Look at Rafalski, he has 1 more turnover than Ericsson in the regular sesason but has over 30 points MORE while playing 11 games LESS.
So for people to somehow say that Raffy is no good need to get their head examined. He trails only Nick in points for Dmen.
We can breakdown box scores and stats all day and I still dont see any compelling proof that he has what it takes for our team. We have the opportunity to bring in some known good talent to bolster our D and he should be first to go
Kron has established himself as a banger and de is one of the best in the league.
Jiri Fischer was a banger and unfortunately was probably sick more than he wasnt
I dont expect points from Kron, I expect him to destroy people.
Ericsson was brought up to be somewhat like Pronger, a big guy that should be able to establish position with his body and be able to shoot due to being trained as a forward. He cant do either, hell he cant bring a puck up ice for christ sake.
If we kept him hed be best as a scratch player coming in for injured players. Bottom pairing with 82 games is too much for such a crap ass player.
I wish I could see optimism in him as some here do but I see a lemon, no more and no less.
That may have been your expectation of him, but I never heard any coach or scout thinking he could be Pronger. As I said in my other post, a knock against him has always been not using his size well enough and not having mean streak.
And did you really just compare Rafalski to Ericsson? If you expect E to come anywhere close to Rafalski in points, it's no wonder you hate him.

Behind the charm, Labour's Marxist in chief is a sinister thug...but underestimate John McDonnell at your peril, says GUY ADAMS
Forgive me if I generalise but I have looked at JC's supporters and they seem to fall into 2 categories. There are the young, student types who may be forgiven for their keenness on Momentum because they are young and don't know any better ( I think many of us have gone through a "power to the people" phase just like vegetarianism). Then there are those who appear to be in late middle age who give the impression of being retired civil servants, local authority workers or teachers. In other words those who have nice comfortable pensions from the state, index linked of course, and would be able to weather economic turmoil with a little more resilience than those of us still working. They have nothing to lose by supporting trendy left-wing ideas, no matter how deluded or mad they may be. As I say, I may generalise but I also say, you have to have money to be a socialist.

This is actually an acronym for the phrase "dick with eyebrows," you dummmies. You are calling someone a walking penis.
You are all dweebs because you did not know the origins of the word you thought you were defining.

'You are such a dweeb'
von Psychedellimo Schmo 26. Dezember 2008
Different then nerd, geek, or dork. A dweeb is someone who is intellectual and socially-inept, but also ineffectual and devoid of passion.
Max, fitting the role of the dweeb, spent all Friday night reading Hartshorne's "Algebraic Geometry" while the others in the dorm wing went downtown for an evening of fun.

An intellectual non-conformist.
That kid solving that Rubik's Cube is such a dweeb!

A person regarded as physically and socially awkward and has little confidence, sometimes they're just plain foolish, often on account of being overly studious.

An amazing person that attends Cherry Creek High School. Creekers are usually thought to be ridiculously rich kids who get everything they want, this however this is not true. We just get mostly everything we want. We think its funny that other schools have creek days and dress in country club attire. We're sorry we're so good at sports. And we're sorry we almost always win.

A being superior to others financially, socially, and intellectually. Attends Cherry Creek High School, and makes six figures look like pocket change.
Man I wish I was a creeker, then I could be better than everyone.

A smart beautiful person who has talents in sports and just about everything else and flaunts their "creek mystique". Everybody pretty much hates them.
Damn it, those creekers won the football game again.
by Bob sexy joe June 11, 2005
Used in the Southern United States of America to refer to a back-woods, inbred person, whose mama and papa were blood relatives. Always massively ignorant and always dumb as a post. Physically they appear strange, almost always with wide-spaced eyes and black hair, due to their inbred genetic deformities.
That Little gal was a creeker, so he supposed now one would give a damn if he took her back to his shack and gave her a header.

A snobby brat who gets whatever they want. You can find a Creeker, at the mall blowing daddies money or driving around in their new Lexus, or throwing major parties at their multi-million dollar estates.

A person who lives in, or is from an area known as Short Creek. Typically used as a slang term to describe a member of Fundamentalist Mormonism in the Colorado City Arizona-Hildale Utah area. Locals call it "The Crick."
Bill and Debbie just came in from a trip to the Crick. They said all the Creekers were still living just like they did 30 years ago.

A transplant to Cave Creek, Arizona. An amazingly resistant person that typically acts as if they know it all and rule the very tiny world they now live in, known as Cave Creek, AZ. Creekers are usually thought to be ridiculously self absorbed, deceitful control freaks. Desperate people who live in fear of competition. They think it's funny that not everyone cares about what they left behind where ever it is that they come from. They are dead set on destroying our laid back, easy going western heritage. They want every bit of what is ours to be dead, mostly cowgirls and cowboys and their horses. The Wild West! Which is why they came here to begin with. We're sorry you miss your home where ever it is you came from, but wish you'd melt in our pot of western stew or go home! We don't want what you left behind. We like our little western town and the cowgirls, cowboys, horses, and rodeos that go with it.

The 10 Most Irreplaceable Performances in Comedy Films
#10. Anthony Michael Hall: Weird Science
There are three main types of movie nerds. One is an academic stereotype who doesn't talk much. The second is a hilarious weirdo who would be totally popular if he wasn't in a movie script. In Weird Science, Anthony Michael Hall perfected the third: the nerd whose sexual frustration has driven him insane.
Hall performs in Weird Science like his captured family will be killed if he's not funny. He packs more manic desperation into his lines than a dry-humping seventh grader. He delivers lines in ways that would make Christopher Walken say, "What a strange WAY to deliver your lines."
To be fair, almost every casting decision in Weird Science is irreplaceable. Bill Paxton will never have a more perfect role than Chet, and even after 25 years of filmmaking, this is still Robert Downey Jr.'s greatest moment:
#9. Fred Willard: Best in Show
In Best in Show, Fred Willard plays the color commentator for the Mayflower Dog Show. In just a few lines, he creates a character stupid enough to be confused by everything, but clever enough to fuck with his broadcast partner. He asks inane questions about foreign dog accents, jokes about sex fetishes and you can never tell if the actor next to him, Jim Piddock, is caught off guard by Fred Willard or the character he's playing.
No one else has the ability to make intentionally unfunny jokes work like this. His comic delivery is so natural that I don't think he can prevent it. If Fred Willard was a doctor, it would take him 15 tries to convince you he wasn't kidding about your bone cancer.
#8. Eddie Murphy: The Golden ChildNo movie has ever been rescued harder than Eddie Murphy rescued The Golden Child. It's the story of The Chosen One entering a secret world of Tibetan mysticism to rescue a magic boy (played by a girl). The Golden Child script is so simple and racist that its daughter married a black man just to piss it off. Obese people make up better stories when their doctor asks them what they've been eating. The special effects are embarrassing enough to make modeling clay suicidal, and there are more clever plot twists on a dildo's storage instructions. The Golden Child is more disrespectful to Tibet than the People's Liberation Army of China.
What's awesome is that Eddie Murphy thinks it's as stupid as we do. He mocks every line, prop and character he encounters. They could probably release nine hours of deleted scenes where Eddie Murphy turns to camera to tell his agent to fuck himself. No one else could make this mess funny. To give you an idea of how lucky the movie was to get Eddie Murphy, his role was originally going to go to Mel Gibson. That would have been a disaster. Mel Gibson wouldn't have even noticed how ridiculous or racist it was. He took a village of barbarian children seriously in Mad Max 3, and his idea of respecting other cultures is bringing a bottle of scotch into an Ethiopian restaurant and telling the homos to stop Jewing him over a corking fee.
#7. Curtis Armstrong: Revenge of the Nerds
Booger stole every scene in Revenge of the Nerds, but his greatest performance was at the Lambda Lambda Lambda fraternity party. Booger opens the door for the Omega Mu sorority girls and a parade of homely beasts march past him. His disappointment looks so real that half of them cried when the director called cut.
He starts to close the door, but gets stopped by a giant hand. There's a group of stragglers -- a group of enormous women whose acting reels are used as Bigfoot proof. As each one squeezes past, Curtis Armstrong gets more and more into it. The subtle, unspoken way he transitions from disinterest to eye-fucking should be taught in every theater class. It's nothing short of amazing. If there was a category for it, it would have won the Academy Award for Greatest Performance of an Actor in a Fat Joke.
#6. Alan Rickman: Galaxy Quest
Alan Rickman can pack so much tragedy, rage, injustice and disgust into a single line that you'd swear it was a McRib.

They finally got a test and the Dos Pueblos Little League 9/10 year old All-Stars passed it with an offensive outburst.
They allowed a seven-run third inning to Montalvo of Ventura but it didn't bother DP as they won 20-12 to move to 4-0.
They will begin play for a District 63 title this weekend in Saticoy. It is a double-elimination tournament.

on February 8, 2013 - 12:08 AM
The Buffalo Bills began the process of reshaping their receiving corps Thursday by announcing they will not make a contract offer to Donald Jones.
Jones is a three-year veteran who started 22 games over the past three seasons, including 10 last season. He was due in March to become a restricted free agent, meaning the Bills could have retained his services with a one-year minimum contract offer of $1.33 million.
By declining to make that offer, Jones will become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins March 12.
Said Bills General Manager Buddy Nix in a statement: "We have made the decision not to re-sign Donald. We're going in a different direction, and this move today gives Donald the opportunity to catch on with another team early on in the process. We thank him for his years with our organization and wish him the best in the future."
Jones made the team as an undrafted free agent out of Youngstown State in 2010. He caught 18 passes as a rookie and 23 in eight games in 2011 before going down with an ankle injury.
Last season Jones was the Bills' fourth-leading receiver, catching 41 passes for 443 yards and four touchdowns.
"It was pretty upsetting to get the call today," Jones said. "It kind of was a shock. But it is what it is. Now me and my family will move forward to another team and hopefully I get to play against the Bills."
Jones, 25, missed the last three games of 2012 with a calf injury and a medical condition that he said is fully resolved.
"It's definitely an opportunity to go somewhere else," Jones said. "It stinks that I have to prove myself all over again, but you have to prove yourself every year in this league. I'm not in control of any of this, the man upstairs is."
"I'm definitely happy with the opportunity they gave me in Buffalo," Jones said. "They gave me a chance to get some great film out there and I took as much advantage as I can. The next team I get to they'll see exactly what I can do, from catching the ball, making big runs, making big blocks, making tackles on special teams."
The Bills are expected to be on the hunt for a big receiver either in free agency or the draft, or both. They have another third-year receiver, 6-foot-5 David Nelson, who is due to become a restricted free agent and is expected to get a tender offer by the March 12 deadline.

on November 9, 2012 - 12:01 AM
This fall, the galleries and museums of Western New York are overflowing with exciting work. There are, at this moment, major, can't-miss exhibitions at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Burchfield Penney Art Center. But some of the most alluring painting, photography and sculpture on view this season is in smaller spaces, from Indigo and Studio Hart on Allen Street to CEPA Underground Gallery beneath the Market Arcade on Main Street. I've picked out five shows from the swirling activity of Western New York's art world, each one a perfect opportunity to wile away an afternoon:
"TopSpin 10: The Ten Year ?TopSpin Retrospective"
Through Feb. 17
Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University ?(5795 Lewiston Road, Lewiston, 286-8200 ?or www.castellaniartmuseum.org)
Throughout the past decade, the Castellani Art Museum has been an excellent predictor of future artistic success. TopSpin, a series launched a decade ago by former Castellani curator Eric Jackson-Forsberg, has consistently showcased emerging artists just as they have begun to break out and given each of them a needed boost. The retrospective, now running in two large galleries at the Castellani, is a de facto progress report in which each artist who has had a TopSpin show presents one or two pieces of newer work.
The show begins with a mammoth canvas by Jonathan Rogers, the 2009 painting "To the Finish," which shows a ghoulish, elongated figure dashing to some unseen finish line like Pheidippides on corticosteroids. Elsewhere, we see beautiful pieces of small-scale assemblage by Gerald Mead, an acrylic painting of a faceless figure set against an American flag backdrop by Edward Bisone, a wonderfully frenetic painting by Rob Lynch, eerie pinhole photographs by Mark McLoughlin and a gloriously lonely painting of a house floating off into space by Amy Greenan. Tom Hughes' 2008 piece, a little light-box scratched with the phrase "We Will Roar Like Lions and They Will Hear Us For Miles" is a perfect pint-sized declaration of humanity.
Together, the works collected in the retrospective serve as a pretty good sampling of this region's vast and eclectic creative output, from the sort of low-brow strangeness of work by artists like Jason D'Aquino and Tom Holt to the more familiar abstract and representational painting and sculpture. It is an absolute must-see.
"Expanding Dimensions"
Through Nov. 17
Dolce Valvo Art Center at Niagara County Community College ?(3111 Saunders Settlement Road, Sanborn, 614-5975 or www.niagaracc.suny.edu)
Plenty of accomplished artists have emerged from NCCC, and the college's pint-sized art gallery is now showing work from four of those alumni, each of whom works in a completely different style.
It was news to me that Jack Massing, who makes up one half of the tongue-in-cheek team known as The Art Guys, went to NCCC. The gallery presents a small and eclectic selection of work from across their career, ranging from a hilarious document sending up the overwrought, overthought statements of conceptual artists to a simple and chuckle-worthy drawing of a round, clown nose labeled "funny" and a small section of that nose labeled "less funny." The work in this show merely skims the surface of the Art Guys' output, which, as critic David Hickey wrote, "has always seemed too clear to be sufficiently complicated, yet too protean to be efficiently summed up."
The most compelling reason to venture out to the gallery are two pieces of haunting, magnetic sculpture by Niagara Falls artist Patrick Robideau. One is a small and seemingly mud-caked suitcase suspended by two wires from the gallery ceiling, the front of which has been removed to reveal a meticulous model of a small, similarly mud-caked farmhouse. The other is a sort of massive diorama of a shipwreck encased in a huge glass and wood case, captivating both for its expert construction and for the strange, melancholy feeling it evokes.
The gallery also presents a series of unsettling burnt and modified canvases by gifted local artist Kurt Von Voetsch and several abstract paintings made with "2,800-degree molten iron" by New York City-based painter Michael Dominick that are much more successful as ideas than artworks.
"As i See It: iPhone Photography by Cathaleen Curtiss"
Through Nov. 26
CEPA Gallery (617 Main St., 856-2717 or www.cepagallery.org)
After most images of artworks in museum and gallery catalogs and exhibition lists, curious readers and art connoisseurs will find a description of the medium the artist used. It could be anything from the classic "oil on canvas" or "watercolor" to the now meaninglessly generic "mixed media." The exhibition list for Curtiss' appealing exhibition of photographs on view in CEPA's Underground Gallery, however, is different. Her media? Four different models of Apple's iPhone. For Curtiss, who moved to Buffalo and took a job at Daemen College in 2010 after serving as director of photography at AOL, the exhibition represents a diary of sorts.
She's taken daily iPhone photos for more than two years, and the results � far better than the blurry, off-kilter and otherwise amateurish shots most of us manage to squeeze from our smartphones � are a pretty good argument that a photographer's best tool is his or her eye.
Her photographs have been manipulated with some iPhone photo apps and printed with a Photoshop border. One depicts a little cluster of tourists in ponchos peering over the side of the Maid of the Mist into the surging falls, another is the afternoon sun breaking through the clouds over Granada, Spain and a third shows passengers whipping through the air during a ride on the Sky Flyer at last summer's Erie County Fair. They are classically beautiful images, each one artfully composed, balanced, uncomplicated and devoid of even the faintest hint of cynicism. This perpetually rosy vision of the world may wear on the more jaded among us after a while. But the show demonstrates in elegant fashion that balanced and beautiful photography is less a function of technology than it is of vision.
"David Mitchell: Select Prints from �And/Then' "
Through Dec. 1
Studio Hart (65 Allen St., 536-8337 or www.studiohart.com)
During the regionwide biennial Beyond/In Western New York in 2010, the Castellani Art Museum featured several photographs and one deeply disturbing sculpture by local artist David Mitchell. His artist statement was intentionally vague, imploring viewers to make up their own interpretation of his strange photographic and sculptural fantasies.
Studio Hart is presenting a series of photographs from his series "And/Then," which features unsettling visions of suburban destruction and supernatural nature scenes. One photograph shows us mist-shrouded high-tension wires running through a suburban neighborhood, while a group of houses burn in the distance. In another, wolves and other wild animals congregate around a car wreck in an otherwise pristine development leaving us to wonder whether those animals are responsible for the carnage. Other photographs show humans attending animal carcasses in wooded environments or portraits of animals with heads emitting unearthly flashes of light or a menacing gang of rabbits assembled on the green grass of a well-to-do neighborhood lit by streetlights. Another shows a boy blithely holding hands with what appears to be a rabid fox in a neighborhood playground. Mitchell leaves us to wonder whether he is sanctifying the animals he depicts, or imbuing them with special vindictive powers. The opportunity to ponder that mystery is part of the strange allure of this exhibition, as is the skill with which he has rendered these unearthly and cinematic scenes � each one suggesting a perfectly rendered still from a film I would really like to see.
"Peter Stephens: Part 2: ?The Gravity of It All"
Through Nov. 28
Nina Freudenheim Gallery ?(882-5777 or www.ninafreudenheimgallery.com)
With his latest body of work, accomplished Buffalo painter Peter Stephens has ventured into strange and beautiful new terrain. His paintings, whether gauzy and abstracted interpretations of Eugene Atget photographs or more recent works based on the surfaces of distant planets, have long been concerned with the edges of human perception.
So for those who know and like Stephens' art, it might not be surprising to know that he has based his newest work on the big ideas and bold questions of quantum physics. That work has been the subject of two shows at Nina Freudenheim Gallery, the second phase of which runs through November.
The paintings range in style, from long, vertical lines set against an otherworldly background (his planet surfaces peeking through) to strange topography rendered in deep greens, pale blues and lipstick reds. Others take on the playful look of Keith Haring drawings, with thick lines dancing across the canvas and probably meant to describe some esoteric aspect of the multiverse. You will learn nothing whatsoever about physics by looking at these beautiful paintings, but then that isn't quite the point.
With his paintings, Stephens is attempting to create a graceful artistic accompaniment to what he sees as the grand aria of theoretical physics. In their individual and vastly different ways, science and painting are both noble human efforts to make sense of the world around us. This realization has made for a great deal of compelling art � see: da Vinci or the star-gazing Vija Celmins, whose work is now on view in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery's excellent "Decade" exhibition.
Stephens' paintings, compelling as much in their concept as in their formal execution, serve as elegant reinforcements to the already inextricable links among art, beauty and science and help us peer through the scrim of the visible world and into another.
