Ummm... normal spot? We've been in the same spot for 10 years. When they played "Freebird" they were making a joke...

thank you!

Before we get into that, let me just say that this year's tailgate, while maybe fewer in numbers, was absolutely incredible and ranks as one of the best we ever had! The addition of the band this year really changed the dynamics and they were awesome! The guitarist was fun, energetic, engaging, and he really knew how to play to the crowd. I would recommend them any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Between the band, the ribs, the wings, the big 2'x6' grill for everyone to use, the beautiful weather, Hammer taking care of every last detail, and a flawless tent/raffle/t-shirt/silent auction execution - I couldn't be happier with how this one turned out. For those who missed it because of apathy - shame on you! I couldn't imagine what you did on Sunday that was a better time than what was going on at Hammer's Lot! I'll be posting pictures and video later when I get caught up with life. While I too want to understand the dynamics of shifting attendance, I don't want it to damper the fact that yesterday was an incredible time and it has really got my wheels going on how we could possibly top this next year!

I win. Nice round guys... It was a lot of fun!

I just came to post that!

We have 5, but I was getting ready to call my brother to let him know we have a 4-some already.

TBD will be supporting the 2010 Pro Football Hall of Fame Fan's Choice effort this season. We will be providing content to a newly launched website that will focus on the Hall, issues that surround the hall, and who should be in the class of 2010. Obviously, much of our focus will surround Andre Reed and Steve Tasker. I think the content from that site will be regularly featured on the NFLN. Here is Ken's opening article: http://www.twobillsdrive.com/nfl/article/h...tion-committee/ So, tune in at 1:00pm today or set your DVR's and maybe you'll see a little KRC/TBD love...

I just wanted to bring up this classic tailgate pic from the past: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...=si&img=148

Tim != ESPN Unless Tim got a really big promotion that I missed, then whatever happens with other ESPN employees is beyond his control. Please don't expect him to answer for other people's behavior.

Did you visit their site? She has a really good voice.

yeah, it's a little weird. Short term memory issues?

I think this is going to be one of our best yet...

Local Band: As a last minute addition, we have added a local Buffalo cover band called "Widow Maker" (members formerly from Black Widow). I listened to their demos on myspace and they are really good! A classmate of mine gets them for his tailgate every year and he said they are fantastic. http://www.myspace.com/wmrocks click on the demos on the right to listen to their sound. They are mainly rock, but do country, southern rock, and acoustic. The full 5-piece band will be coming and playing in the afternoon. Community Grill: We added a 2' x 6' charcoal grill for everyone to cook on if they need. We will have free hot dogs, buns, and condiments. If you want something special - bring it! (and maybe a little extra to share...) Wings: Guffalo will be making the wings... I'll make sure he's well stocked. His wing sauce is excellent! T-shirts: I bought extra, so if you need some, we'll have some for sale. 10th Annual Tailgate shirts and the kick ass! Silent Auction: To raise funds for our charity - The Veteran's Hospital - we're announcing the items ahead of time. Jerseys signed by Jim Kelly - Thurman Thomas - Joe Delamielleure - Terrell Owens Mini helmets - Jim Kelly - Steve Tasker - Ruben Brown There will be a 50th anniv. ball with 40 or more autographs from camp raffled as a prize for the people who donated a tailgate fee to cover the cost of the tent, chairs, water and extra spaces. If you aren't in attendance and would like an item - bid on it here. Parking: Details pinned on TSW. Tent: 15 x 15 ft. The tent houses our raffle items, covers the dishes to pass (I'm bringing macaroni salad), water, gatorade, etc... There is a small fee to cover these expenses. Raffle: We normally have a raffle for a variety of items. Bathrooms: Port-a-pots will be available nearby. Alcohol: BYOB! We'll be there bright and early. Stop by, eat, drink, talk, listen to music... have fun! See you Sunday.

John used your quote in an AP story (as well as Mike in Syracuse). Don't have the link handy though...

Huh? What team/player are you talking about?

would you like chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin?

It is considered bad form to publicize like services on someone else's space... Kinda rude if you know what I mean.
