  1. Man. That looks like it could have so much potential. Then they throw in the cheesy jokes and characters that are raccoones, Etc... And I feel like they ruined it. But I'll definitely see it because like you Mark, I just love movies, especially in the theaters and in 3D and IMAX and all that good stuff.
  2. yeah. Thanks Mead. It I get this thing today, pulled pork for everybody on opening day is on me.
  3. Thanks for all the help guys. So a little bit of info here. The procing at 499/mo was at 5% interest. When I took the truck back this morning they wondered what they could do to sweeten the pot. I told then 500/mo was just way too much. I said if 500 was uncomfortable for me, then 450 ain't going to be any better (what's 50 bucks really?). They took a gander at me, said they could get me locked in, in the 2-3% range for the truck and offered me $1,300 over payoff amount on my trade in to get me to 425/mo. I did the math online last night to see what the difference between 5% and 2.1% (a rate that I can achieve through a credit union that I am available to join) and it was only saving me $40/mo. Which would have come down to 460. So they're eating more to get me to that 425 by offering extra In my trade to get me there. I know you should always negotiate the price of the vehicle first and then go from there. A few things... My cousin who works for Chevy Basil has informed me that prices on the Internet now days are generally as low as they offer. Internet procing is always lower than what vehicles are listed for out on the lot. With that said, the $30,900 for the truck is $3k below suggested retail. The sales manager I formed me they are only making 700 off the sale of the truck (not sure if I believe that, but either way, according to NADA.com, the suggested retail is 33-34k). Another thing is that I am in need of a vehicle. My Mercedes has 127k miles on her. New calipers, pads and rotors need to be replaced in the front. New fuel pump. The EBrake needs to be looked at. Door handles and small things are starting to brake. And since the weather has been bitter cold, she is having troubles turning over of she's been sitting for more than 5-6 hours (which is not the battery because I already replaced that). So it's spend about $1,000 (I get parts at cost and a buddy installs for a case of beer) in repairs that are 100% needed right now, or use that for a down pmnt on this truck. Not sure if that paints the picture a little more for you guys. I love the truck and I already know that a new Sierra or Ford F150 (a model that I'd actually be happy with anyway) will run me close to 600/mo. I've also already had my car appraised at Basil and they offered me 5k for it as opposed to the 7k that Transitowne offered me. Just seems like a no brainer that I'm getting an additional 2k for my car that honestly won't sell for what I owe on it.
  4. Hey guys. Update in this. New trucks are just way too damn much for me right now. Started looking at used. Ended up finding: 2011 Chevy Acalanche LT With leather heated seats, tow package, moonroof, step bars, remote start, and color matched plastics. 39k miles. They were asking 30,900. Buyout on my Mercedes is 5,745. They offered to get me in the 2s for financing and 425 over 75 months. After paying off my car and using 1,000 down Payment. What you guys think about this? Originally they came at me with 499/mo but I said no. They barely let me leave the store. Said I'd call them tomorrow to let them know. They offer a 4yr, 48k mile extended bumper to bumper for 2,400. I thought about telling them to throw that in and it's a deal. What you guys think? Thanks
  5. this and this
  6. I don't listen on their app much anymore but when I used to, it happened a lot. Seemed like it did more in my old iPhone 4 than it does in my iPhone5. Not sure if that's one of the issues. It seems like other apps work better on the new phone as well. Maybe you need to update your device? Or it could just be that WGR sucks. Lol.
  7. Slombas???? Are you serious? That's my bar brother. Spent almost every night there from 11th grade until I was 21. I'm sure I've met you outside of OBD.
  8. 6am while getting ready for Bills tailgates is normal come football season. I've been drinking earlier but why gloat. i remember when i used to live in Vegas and traveling back to Buffalo for vacations. McCarren airport is brutal. One day you show up 2 hours early and your barely making it through for your flight. Other times your in and out in 10 minutes. Well, one time I showed up over 2 hours early and skated right through. Ended up killing almost 2 hours in the bar when they were offering buy one get one free on tall drafts and they were giving away a shot of this new Vodka for free with every tall beer. So needless to say, I was plastered on the plane. No idea how they even allowed me to fly actually. That was at about 8am btw.
  9. I generally agree but it also depends on the value each of these guys has and if you can resign them to huge contracts or decent ones. Personally on Byrd, pay the man to be the highest paid safety in the league. He's worth it. He's still getting better. Chandler, it all depends on what he's asking for. With the available TEs in FA this year, he's likely looking to be the most sought after target at his position and will be asking for top 15 money or better. Hughes, sure, he played great but he was limited. I'd rather take a 3rd with conditional picks for him and draft someone that's a 3 down LB. Spiller, sure, he's good. Could be better but for some reason he's not. In another year he will be demanding top 5 money for a RB. Do you want to pay a RB that kind of cash or would you rather trade him for what should/could be a 1st or 2nd and get an every down back? That's what I'd do. Another Fred Jackson type of back or maybe bigger and more physical. Like a Lagarret Blount. I don't get the hate for Dareus. He's up and coming and still under contract. Is he great as a DT? No. The run defense sucks and he's definitely a part of that, but yes good and young and going to get better.
  10. I agree with the OP on Hughes. At this point he's worth the most were going to get most likely. Trade him now while you can. If you can get at least a 3rd for him. Lost me at Moats. The guys good but he will probably want starting money and he's not worth that. Good backup, bad starter. Why bother with Allen? He's not that dominant anymore is he? I like Watkins. It's great he's a Bills fan and all and I know he "plays bigger than his size" but the guys still not a big physical dominant WR. We need someone in the Mike Evans mold.
  11. you think that. He probably doesn't give you that much respect. see
  12. you franchise tag a player you don't want to lose in FA. Plain and simple. If they sign Burd and end up drafting a stud TE (Ebron maybe) then maybe they franchise tag him so that they don't have to go into the 2015 season wondering if they have a replacement at TE in Ebron, Moekei, Pertigrew, Pitta, etc. that would work too
  13. thats not really saying much. Reimersma is probably the best TE we ever had and that's not a good thing. We need a Vernon Davis, Shannon Sharpe, Antonio Gates type TE.
  14. i can get behind this. Personally, I want a more physical TE. Not only when it comes to speed and quickness, but when it comes to contact. Chandler plays like he's much smaller than he is. Always seems to shy away from hits. News flash big guy, your a monster and should be destroying people. But he doesn't. Give me a Vernon Davis type of guy. A TE that's borderline on a TE and a massive WR and this offense reaps the rewards. But I'd love to keep Chandler under the franchise tag if we could manage to sign Byrd in the meantime and still draft a big physical TE. Chandler as a #2 would be phenomenal.
  15. after getting destroyed in the big game by a team with a dominant defense, you could be into something. However, they could be thinking that their defense will be much better next season as they get some injured players back. Their defensive backs were a mess late in the season, and of course your missing Von Miller and his sack numbers.
  16. Chandler is good. It'll be a big blow if we don't resign him and don't draft or sign someone who's an immediate impact player.
  17. shes insane hot in Shooter and American Horror Story. Now I want to see this show.
  18. There are multiple threads discussing this very topic.
  19. yup. Right on brother. It's a great match and our possible way to receive more than Byrds value in a trade. Kelly could want Byrd so much that he's OMG to give up a 1st and 2nd if he thinks he's a piece away from taking a shot at the whole Shabang.
  20. I'm thinking about picking it up. Kate Mara alone makes me want to watch every last second. Mmm
  21. ah!!! I remember a year ago when I was claiming all these things as well. And everyone wanted to hang me. The fact that your thoughts are the same as many others this year. Just took a season for people to realize. I beat my drum a year ago so hard that I want apologies now. I know I won't get em, I'll just bask in the facts that I was right. Byrd didn't hold out until week 10 like I thought, he just had a "nagging injury" that kept him out for quite a few weeks and then kept his play limited for a few more.
