SinceThe70s

Nice to see Dr. Strangelove and Raising Arizona on the list. I would have found room for It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, Midnight Run, Vacation, My Cousin Vinny and maybe a Pink Panther movie.

Magpie Salute...twice this year including this past week. Both times very good, not great. Looking forward to seeing them again Setlist is mostly Crowes but they are similar to Gov't Mule including an occasional reggae cover.

As long as you're gonna mention Knotts, how about The Incredible Mr. Limpett? Ladyfish was a smoke show.

Peer pressure wins again...16.

This is more than a few years old, but Lincoln/Mercury got it right:

It's depressing to consider the lengths people go to get a vacation picture. No respect for the wildlife. In this case the dolphin died. I was witness to an incident where people were fortunate they weren't attacked by a bear. They probably still rave about the awesome pix they took of the bear cubs.

Alaska has this covered:

When I saw Sammy get targeted on the first possession I thought it was odd. Chalked it up to McD sending a message that Sammy needed to be a big part of the offense this year. In hindsight, seemed like a showcase and if McBeane were on the same page. a non-story. On the other hand, if McD was counting on Sammy and blind-sided by the trade, yikes!

16 Until the first loss and then 15. Until the next loss and then 14. Rinse, repeat....but never give up!

I never use cruise control. Tried it many many moons ago and didn't like it. Personally, I felt like cruise control was an opportunity to lose sight of the task at hand.

867-5309

Yup. Only saving grace right now is it seems less likely to happen any time soon with the Rams.

The Jay Bruce trade is small potatoes after today, eh fellas? Hope I'm wrong, but one look at Dominic Smith's belly makes me skeptical.

I'm with you. Great teams need great players. But I thought the Bills did the right thing by hedging their bets and not picking up the option. I assumed that was due to injury concerns and made sense to me. If Sammy had a big year and was injury free, we could tag/sign him. My only hope...and this is not intended as ill will towards Sammy...even though it is...is that Sammy does not become the monster we all expected he would be.

The player with the highest ceiling went the wrong direction so as I sit here today contemplating what to drown my sorrow with I do not like this trade. Hopefully in time I'll find I was wrong.

Agreed, but do you want to see Bruce crush us next week or kill it for the NYY post-season? That's a consideration. Yankee-Met trades are rare.

The Red Rocker! WTF was that all about? Van Hagar? Thanks, but no thanks. Chickenfoot albums were the best thing he was a part of IMO. Ironically Chickenfoot popped up on shuffle on my way to work this morning for the first time since forever! Thoughts on Satriani? I think his albums kill, but saw him last year and was disappointed. Show was spot on, but had no improv like a UM (I know you like them) show,

No doubt, that's a horrible societal aspect that only adds to the families trauma.

BADOL: Totally appreciate your point of view even though I'm on the other side of the coin. Love that you trust and respect OP's handling of HIS young twins at a young age...but I'm with most, yikes...good luck with that! The badge of honor later on is cool too. I always wanted my kids to remember their first game, not be told about it and just have a photo memory, but that may be prejudiced by my own experience. For the record my boys (11 and 14) will be attending their first Bills game in September. Timing WRT school finally worked. Wifey wanted to do a pre-season game, but that was laughable to me. Anyway, whatever you do Ship, best to you and your boys!

What the Bruce trade tells me is that the Mets don't view Conforto as a center fielder. I don't either. Ideally Conforto is in LF and Cespedes in RF but that ain't happening. Sigh With that said, dumping Bruce for salary is a bad look, no doubt. BTW, I am LI_Bills...password issues. Let's go Mets!

Saw the early reports on this local story this morning that there was a critical injury during a high school football practice. Hoped for the best outcome but was surprised/disappointed when I saw the outcome reported nationally: http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/20305333/high-schooler-dies-log-falls-football-drill Can't imagine what the parents are going through.

I consider raising my kids Bills, Mets and Islanders fans as borderline child abuse.

i was a Flutie guy. The only thing that stuck out to me was the autism comment. Classless. The other comments didn't bother me at all and appear to be on point. With that said, this may be more interesting than the Tyrod, Anybody But Tyrod QB controversy.

I love Umphreys!!! Almost posted the Funk 49/Sweet Emotion mash up. Totally agree on the monster drum kit comment. I have a Zappa Plays Zappa show on DVD. Joe Travers was the bands drummer and had a very basic setup. Terry Bozio was a guest and came out with this ridiculously huge setup. IMO Travers was the better drummer( or maybe the one I liked more, I get your point). As for cred, you got me there. I took lessons and played drums in my formative years (through HS)...but honestly I was nothing special.
