Listen to Bills games via internet radio?
Buftex replied to streetkings01's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The "kids" want all the things that their parents had...they are buying records, not CD's....and they have revived the cassette industry. Kids (a term I use, at 54 to describe anyone from 12-30) are really in to making mixed tapes. They don't seem to bat an eye at paying $25 or $30 for brand new copies of "Rumors", "Eagles Greatest Hits", Led Zeppelin III. The stuff they heard their parents play. It many sound silly, but I think "Guardians of the Galaxy" was a big factor. We got a "jam-box" with a double cassette deck, and radio too..in less PC days we called them ghetto blasters. They are pretty terrible brands, but the fact that they are making them tells me there is a niche out there...and it is only a matter of time before better electronic brand names start to take notice. There seems to be a growing number of younger people who are rejecting the digital down-load. Lables are staring to put out pre-recorded cassettes again. Cassettes have their draw-backs, but for an older guy like me, cassettes were the most personal way of listening to music...being able to make your own mixes...your own artwork...I have about 60 comps that I, or friends of mine made, back in the 80s...we put so much time and thought into them. -

Don't be so sure...I work part time at a record store.. a few months ago we started selling brand new Jensen (crappy brand) cassette/radio walkmans....we can't keep them in stock! -
I think Duffs are not good...

Millennials have their issues, but are they any worse than any other age group?

How many Bills games have you been to
Buftex replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I believe my count is about 88 regular season games and 20 pre-season games. So, about a 108 or 110 games. Sadly, I have never been to a playoff game. My first game was the first game played at Rich Stadium, a pre-season loss to the Redskins. I went to every home game from 1980-1987, and normally a game or two each season after that. I have seen them play on the road about 12 times...good times. Hoping to make it home for a game this year...and maybe to Dallas for the Thanksgiving... -
What is better, no guns, or more guns?

Drove from Dallas to El Paso to do it. Keep your head buried in the sand... -

Can Ray-Ray play-play? -

I am asking because I am truly interested... where would you put the odds of Jackson making the team? I hope he does, mind you, but I dont' see any way he beats out Barkley. And, if he shows anything in pre-season, the likelihood of him lasting on the practice squad is small. If they keep 3 QB's on the active roster, they probably have to release a decent receiving prospect...gonna be interesting. Watching the "Embeded" show (first 4 episodes) I found it curious that they didn't mention Tyree at all (other than mentioning he was a member of the winning bowling team). Maybe they do something a little more in-depth on him in the future, but was wondering if it may have been intentional, to keep him off the radar of other NFL teams. -
Tyrod was never really that good in real or fantasy football...never came close to leading the league for any extended period of time in any kind of football...in anything. He was an okay one week starter in FF, if your real fantasy QB ( : ) ) was on a bye week...if you started him every week, you were never going to win anything.

One thing about the Edge, he has a very distinct sound.

"Searching for Sugar Man" is fantastic... even if you are not familiar with the subject (Sixto Rodriguez), it is a great story...and you will love his music. Also "BANG! The Bert Berns Story".
-
I know it means nothing in the bigger picture (like pre-season wins & losses! ) but Josh Allen was the top-rated Fantasy Football QB over the last 6 weeks of the 2018 season... there is something to get excited about!

Do you expect better preseason games
Buftex replied to Wnybricky's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Umm...not exactly true...at all. In Marv's 11 full seasons in Buffalo, they went 15-29 in pre-season. 1990 was the only year during his time, where they went win-less in the pre-season. -
Hmmm... might be time to switch to Dennis Shaw! Thanks Chandler!

Buftex replied to Wnybricky's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I actually kind of enjoy pre-season games...at least the first 3. You follow the teams moves all off-season, and you start to think about players they added...my curiosity is piqued, even though a lot of the guys end up getting cut. This pre-season I am really looking forward to seeing Tyree Jackson, Duke Williams and TJ Yeldon. Jackson will be particularly interesting to me. And of course, I want to see a few nice plays from Allen...but not too many. Keep that kid healthy. -
Got one...a Mithcell & Ness...it is awesome! I look like an idiot in it, but it is cool!

Can't get enough of this record...

Yeah, now your old post is linking Saint Motel... I am not even sure, any more, what you were trying to show us!

Occasi-Cortez Channeling the Rent's too damn high guy
Buftex replied to bdutton's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Glad to see you don't think Michelle was a fascist for wanting kids school lunches to be healthier. I don't disagree with your point about Hillary, but I would make the point that her political career is like many in politics. Who you know is pretty relevant... and to be fair, it doesn't automatically make somebody more or less capable for a job.
