No, but he asked me to say "Shibboleth." I could only respond with "Kouandjio." So he smited me. Old Testament jokes, I has them.

That I endure a lifetime of suffering and hardship, old testament style. In other words, to be a Bills fan.

I have not. Hope it comes soon, trying to plot out time off, when to take the kiddos, etc. EDIT: From my keyboard to god's ears, I guess. I just received the email.

I have no doubts with regards to the awesomeness Hammer brings. It's just too much of a hassle to get there early enough. Plus we have a crew of 10-12 that throws a pretty big tailgate, so we manage to have fun.

Likewise. Plus, we drive from ROC and have to drop the kiddos off first, so there's no way we get there by 8am before it fills up. Drinking outside is fun, but it's not that fun.

OK, now I KNOW you can't own two towns on the Canal if they're in separate counties. This is the worst news since Kiko. Doom, gloom, etc.

ACLs don't tear Kiko. Kiko tears ACLs.

I have been one of several to keep beating that drum about the NFL's special 501c6 non-profit status. I am not an expert by any means, but given my familiarity with the non-profit world, and what little reading up on it I've done, it seems like a pretty formidable hurdle to overcome to have an NFL franchise outside the states. The NHL has been international for 100 years. MLB for 50 years. NBA for 25 years. Did the biggest and most profitable of all the major sports leagues just discover Canada exists as a potential market for relocation/expansion in 2014? Reminds me of that great Homer Simpson quote about geography and Canada: "Oh, Marge, anybody could miss Canada, all tucked away down there."

I think there's a discount at the Bills store at the stadium. I've also found just having a season ticket account rep very helpful just for customer service purposes. I email Don anytime I have a question and he gets right back to me.

I would start buying up domain names now just to be careful and avoid cyber-squatters. TwoRalphWilsonBlvd.com TwoGolisanoWay.com TwoTrumpDriveatTrumpPlace.com DosAvenidaDelPegual.mx etc

Garrison Sanborn. He's our worst long snapper. Nobody disputes this.

Did you ever notice how you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway? Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one??

And what's the deal with Grapenuts? No grapes! No nuts!

The Raiders should move to Hamilton. We'll need a crosstown rival.

If you want authentic Italian, you have to check out Sbarro.

I know the board is overwhelmingly in support of Hammer's lot, and understandably so. But a buddy of mine runs a big tailgate in that big private grass lot next to the field house and we've always had a blast there. He's been able to set up a nice standing agreement with them to "reserve" his spot every game day.

Portland's got plenty of both.

I agree we're not a dumpster fire of question marks like in years past. Pinning all of our hopes on a 53-year old Terrell Owens? My god... We've narrowed the dumpster fire of question marks down to a very few, but very key question marks.

From Monday's Buffalo News: http://bills.buffalonews.com/2014/06/23/buffalo-fan-alliance-appoints-two-fans-advisory-board/ As I suspected, they're just finalizing things behind the scenes.

eball did not get elected, so he's off somewhere plotting his political comeback, a la Richard Nixon. The BFA got some decently big names involved on their advisory committee, Andre Reed, Steve Christie, among others, IIRC. Seeing as how they're a nonprofit, and my familiarity with that world, hopefully they're currently working on a mission statement and a feasibility study if they really want to raise money.

I'd go to the wedding and watch figure out how to watch the game at a bar. It's not like you're going to out of town for the home opener and missing a chance to be there in person. My wife would understand. But then, she loves the Bills as much as I do. I feel kind of bad for those who can't share in it with their significant others.

Will the NFL allow Pegula to own the Sabres and the Jills at the same time?

Tommy Prady?

Not a dire issue? That's an even better reason to start a panicky thread about it.

I'm going to go start a new thread about MLBs available via free agency in 2015.
