  1. this. No argument. Not even close. Never will be. I don't care if they come out with a TV that can drip player sweat on you, smell like fresh cut grass and snow in your living room. It'll never even be close to an argument.
  2. liked Sleven LOVED BLOW!!!
  3. Grandmas Boy is amazing.
  4. you mean like spiders on the field???
  5. im not stepping Into this one again. Nice try.
  6. Thanks Brock. I signed it.
  7. equilibrium is just freaking cool. It came out at the wrong time when other movies like the Matrix were lighting up box offices. It deserves more credit.
  8. i read in the paper a few days ago that they are possibly going to use the (please forgive me because I don't know the name) old railway that was supposed to do a circuit in and around the city. I believe the Larkin district and the Central Terminal were places of connection. This is huge. They made it sound like the footprint is there for it to be brought back. With a new stadium downtown somewhere this would be huge in getting it up and running again. Add a few more stops. Somehow link it in with the subway system. Somehow add additional subway stips at the airport. UB north. The 90/290 split at the tolls. Maybe even go as far as to extend it to NF and were in business. All the makings of a big city subway system that takes you to multiple destinations and not just 1 line down Main Street.
  9. meh. That movie was hilarious. I would t call it a sleeper or a chick flick though. Was just a good comedy. It would be like girls calling The Hangover a guy flick. Doesn't seem right.
  10. if were talking chick flicks: How to lose a guy in 10 days 40 days and 40 nights Say Anything Serendipity
  11. that post made me sick. I'm guessing the OP. Feels like a POS now. Or just an idiot that doesn't know what he's talking about. But hey, it's not all over, we could still lose the team to some Martian city within the next few months.
  12. thanks for reading. I'm sure I'll get burned alive somewhere.
  13. agree with this 1,000,000% I ised to love downtown. Right on Linwood near Allen. It's been almost 10 years and took me moving to Vegas and back but it is finally moving. I too believe with all the things happening along the harbor that we are on the verge. Instead of being talked about like a red headed stepchild, were a few years away and a few more projects from being on the rise. I was just downtown last night for dinner at Gabriel's Gate for fish fry and wings (everyone out of town can be jealous now) and after we walked down to the harbor. It was a cool night and there was still quite a few people out enjoying the boardwalk there. Then on our way out of the city we drove down Elmwood and wow!!! I've never seen it so busy other than 11pm on a Friday or Saturday night. It took us forever to get through all the traffic. All the small shops, bars, cafés along Elmwood were packed. People spilling out into the street. But hey, I'm side someone will argue that's not downtown and it means nothing because it's not 2 blocks away from City Hall. Get over it people. Downtown and the City of Buffalo isn't NYC. But with the sorrow don't suburbs, there is life. It's getting better. Livelier. Anyone who doesn't love here has no idea other than what their friends tell them. Buffalo is on the up. It is my opinion that Pegula will purchase the team and with the funding from Jacobs and possibly Galisano and anyone else about to get richer, they will find a stadium with minimal tax dollars. Completely rejuvenating downtown Buffalo. Giving people reason to be there more in every season. The state will be put to work with the task of creating more transportation and highway infrastructure to and from. My guess is that the subway will have more stops. Possibly branching off to places like the airport, and UB North Campus along with possibly Niagara Falls Blvd near Bailey/Sheridan/Maple. Possibly using the light rail system that was previously in use connecting points in the city including the Central Terminal. Buffalo is on the rise. Believe it or don't. We will see in about 10-15 years.
  14. It's not hard to get a Nexus pass. But instant or same day access is not possible. People wait for a long time to be approved for the Nexus pass. Background investigations and all that stuff has to be done. It won't happen. And if it does, it's a travesty to the idea of national security.
  15. how is it that you know again? What IS being considered? What area? What town? What sites? And that still doesn't negate the fact that Pegula and Javibs together pretty much ensure that it's a done deal if it works out that Pegs buys the team and Jacobs helps find a new stadium. The state would have zero cost at that point. Could spend all the money expected for that deal on infrastructure changes. Additional bridges being built. Etc.
  16. its still pretty much a slam dunk. If Pegula buys the team. An between him and Jacobs they completely find a new state of the art billion dollar stadium downtown on or near the waterfront, they then get the city, town, state to pony up the bucks to deal with the infrastructure. It's a win win for every party involved. Especially the state/ city of they don't have to split the bill for the new stadium.
  17. what will happen to the UNLV Rebels then? They will surely be moved out of the Thomas and Mack center if that happens.
  18. they are building the new dome in Philadelphia? But they already have Lincoln Financial Field.
  19. Her daughter seems very classy.
  20. Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not the Pennsylvania Bills no problem. Anytime.
  21. i know you said you know what I was getting at. But let me explain anyway. I don't want a dome feel to the stadium. Open air with the fans covered is what I have in mind. Maybe Seattle is a better example. you love me how? Like uncle Todd??? Please mommy, don't make me go to uncle Todd's again. I don't like it there.
  22. are you sure you don't mean Awning??? Like this: http://m.sears.com/beauty-mark-reg-destin-manual-retractable-awnings-with-hood/p-071b4075000P?sid=IDx01192011x000001&kpid=07188178000&kispla=071b4075000P
