Filibuster Naysayers-Football fans: Remember Buffalo!

snip-
Buffalo Bills’ kicker Steve Christie booted a 32-yard field goal through the uprights in overtime on January 3, 1993 to cap the National Football League’s greatest comeback. However, some beleaguered fans missed the moment as they had already retreated to the comfort of their homes on this cold January day in western New York.

***Be the beleagured fan, if you must...but for God's sake stay in the stadium!**** Stranger things have happened. People are SPEAKING...speaking directly to their Senators. That's counting for something.

7. Exactly...we have let these radical righties dictate what is acceptable
and what is not. If they can call a hearing on a Sunday night to try and save the life (?) of a dead woman, we sure as hell can filibuster.

10. The Red Sox 2004
They were about to be eliminated in the playoffs and then came back to beat the Yankees and swept the series. It's not over until it's over. :patriot:
