Sheesh! The Bills win, and everyone's sense of humor goes right out the window. Howard? Do you have any details on the frying pan? ...Was it cast iron, stainless steel laminated copper or just one of those cheesy, non-stick, bargain-store jobbies?

Jason Lang needs to be sent to prison. He's been given many chances and has been arrested more times than I can even count. It's time he stops using the bath salts as his defense and gets a real punishment other than a fine and community service. He obviously has no respect for the law. I hope Judge Noonan doesn't give him another chance. He is a menace to society.
