  1. Tell that to all of the other coaches he fired.
  2. Maybe he can hide the ball under his shirt like a Globetrotter.
  3. I paraboiled my rubs too which removed the fat on the outside of ribs.
  4. Imagine Hill suspended and the impact it has on Phish with all resources they spent.
  5. Agree and laws protecting "journalists" need to be revived defining who is press and who is just a loud talker.
  6. Raised in Hamburg / Steelton from age 5 until after I graduated from UB. I have been president of Northern Virginia Bills Backers since 1988.
  7. I think that it Ralph Wilson did not make it difficult to leave Buffalo they would have. NFL would have lost some fans but gotten new wealthier ones which is more important to them. NFL has shown with St Louis they are willing to stack the deck.
  8. Quote from Josh Allen I agree with: Steve Tasker belongs in Hall of Fame. He is one of the great special team players of all time. Quote from Josh Allen I disagree with on Bills community: every year it doesn't matter how great or how bad this was the previous year. This year is our year. There are so many Bills watchers (cannot call them fans) who are sour each and every year you wonder why Bills stay in WNY. Better to try a new city with a fresh start.
  9. My sources are agents (they have contacted me on booking clients), newspapers (real ones who I have provided corrections in past and then later asked me if I had any data on certain subjects) and one martial arts/trainer in Buffalo who asked me of my opinion on a player (would he be serious on work with him enough to set up private one-on-one training). In all cases they were people who I had respectful conversations with and later expanded.
  10. If he has a source it is likely someone who played or worked for P*tsies where he got friendly and his source called him up to talk about the offseason.
  11. My wife makes ribs many ways - i.e. BBQ and Chinese Char Siu 叉烧 style - but best way I found for ribs is to make them in a Ninja. She cooks them with veges (onions, potatoes, red cabbage and baby carrots so far) and the veges absorb the flavor of the ribs. In college I would buy ribs at a butcher and cook them in a locking pot and then marinate them with homemade sauce and finish the cooking. I would have people on my dorm floor coming buy asking if they could sample them but then wanting to finish the whole rib. The sauce I made without a recipe by experimenting and found out that if you repeatedly boil down rosemary (hours) the remaining liquid could be used in sauce to make it sweet without sugar.
  12. You are speculating just like reporters and treating it like facts. They have no obligation to reveal internal issues and in fact most employers WON"T for worry of lawsuits. My employer for example has a policy of not do any more than verify employment dates for me even though I have had 7 years of excellent or better ratings You Are Just sayin'
  13. I realize that but they are using the same ticketing model using 3rd parties to get higher prices without raising posted prices. There is resistance to raising prices which can have negative impact on future sales so the use third parties to get additional revenue. There is discussion on this in Bills Backers President forum in which some are stepping down because Bills Backers are being supported less.
  14. No. When something is a side note I use smaller font (not bolded) like you would do in a document with a reference number. It is so the original thought can be read and if reader is interested can read more context information. When I could not find computer work in WNY after graduation I considered applying for work at Buffalo News since Courier Express closed but a friend got me an interview at job in Northern Virginia and I have been here since. Bills used to be very leaky with information often being distributed externally faster than it was internally. Some was Rex being a blowhard, some was from players/agents unhappy and there was actually people taking stuff out of trash and posting it. I think part of Coach McD's clean sweep was to get rid of the leaks but unfortunately many of the people he hired first year were not quality and were gone second year.
  15. Sounds like the Bills ticketing office which is selling blocks of tickets to agencies outside of area but fans from same area cannot buy season tickets.
  16. Agree. Even editors are being phased out with automatic publishing software. I was an assistant to the editor at Courier Express (I worked doing classified ads and it got known I was correcting typos so editor was was given use of me when I was not doing job I was being paid for) and he regularly rejected stories with no sources. A reporter could be the source but only if he or she witnessed it directly and would put that in the story. Editor separated opinions being part of editorial pages and speculation as something not for the paper.
  17. it is actually German. It is Bavarian but has been modified for French. There are a lot of variants in spelling of name (Guggemos is most common spelling) and most of the people (1,419 of 1,999 at latest census) with that exact last name live in Bavaria. I am Hessian and Prussian and have seen it in documents but that is all the info I have.
  18. That is 4 days of air. Out of air at 6 am on Thursday but there are things they can do to extend amount of time.
  19. Had relatives die from cancer in 60's, 70's and 80's and none reached retirement age and some did not graduate yet from high school. A dear friend of mine died from colon cancer in mid 90's and it is one cancer which eating meat is a big factor in. He had not had meat for 20 years. Like a lot of problems the factor is communication. Current Communication allows stories be told which you would never have heard of before so it seems like there are a lot more cases and deaths. There are certainly factors such as higher population concentration, disregard of taking care of trash, toxic waste buildup and spills, but there are factors also which reduce cancers and other issues.
  20. From your posts I think your opinion is: Talking head criticizes the team, he’s a genius. Talking head praises team, he’s an idiot. Not see how that is much better.
